Introduction

The ViewSonic VX2255wmb is not just another 22-inch widescreen monitor, but also features additional functions such as height adjustment and an integrated webcam. Particularly in an ergonomic light, the LCD is ahead of many of its rivals, since these offer only a tilting function.

The ViewSonic VX2255wm comes in two colour versions: the glossy black VX2255wmb (left) and the glossy white VX2255wmh (right).

The 22-inch is no exception when it comes to image technology – it features the usual TN panel. The following review will show how well the VX2255wmb performs in terms of image quality and whether it was worth it to invest additionally in ergonomics and extra features.

All test results published were obtained via a digital input except for the analogue image quality, which was tested via the analogue connection. We used a Sapphire Radeon X1950 XTX and an XFX GeForce 8800GTX to test the monitor.
