Awesome Monitor at a great price,
I too purchased this at a club store for a discounted price ($219 with a coupon) and it is truly a beauty. I use it at work for documents mostly. Do not be put off by the earlier review’s comment about text–it is perfectly fine and the text is actually sharp and easy to read. Took five minutes to set up, and I’m back to work right away. Excellent product, and ViewSonic’s reliability is well known.

|Loved it but had to return it anyway,
This was the best monitor I ever bought. The picture is crisp, colors vivid, etc. The only minor gripes are:
a) The blue power LED on the front is too bright. I had to cover it with something for viewing the screen in a dim room.
b) The 1920×1080 resolution is fine for movies but is vertically challenged for normal computer use. For example, my 1600×1200 20″ LCD monitor can fit more text on the screen (and is vertically taller despite the lower diagonal measurement) and is thus better suited for business work such as reading annual reports, etc.
This was all very minor. The monitor quality is just excellent. I, like the others here, bought this at a warehouse retailer at an extremely attractive price. They sold like hot cakes! When I went to return mine, there were none left for sale.
Why did I return it? XP Professional could produce this resolution fine. However, Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.10 both had troubles. I ended up having to drive it at a lower resolution in Ubuntu, which resulted in annoyingly fuzzy text. Later, I discovered that Ubuntu 8.10 is quite happy with 1920×1200 but cannot seem to do 1920×1080–at least with my hardware. Fedora 10 also only worked properly with 1920×1200 and had to drive the monitor at a lower-than-native resolution. Since I need to use Linux (Fedora or Ubuntu) for scientific work, the monitor had to go back. It was emotionally difficult to return it: so much screen real estate; so much quality! Viewsonic has produced an excellent monitor.
If you’re using Windows, it’ll work just dandy. But for business use (reading vertically oriented documents) consider a 1920×1200 also before selecting.

|Excellent Monitor at a Great Price,
I purchased the ViewSonic VX2433WM from a warehouse retailer for an extraordinarily low price, which made it irresistable!
This monitor has vivid, crisp colors and is excellent at displaying graphics and video! By default, it is exceptionally bright, so I adjusted both the contrast and brightness to about 50%. This is a very responsive monitor with no ghosting present. It also came with zero stuck or defective pixels, which made me very happy.
The one area where this monitor could be improved is related to text display. At times, text can be a bit fuzzy on screen, but this is something I’ve noticed on other 24 inch displays before (notably Samsung). It’s not a show-stopper, but text is not as clear as on my 19″ monitor at home or at work.
The built-in speakers are awful, with a really cheap sound. Fortunately, I don’t plan to use them much. I think it has to do with function following form where, for beauty’s sake, the speakers are on the back and downside of the monitor, creating an indirect sound. The sound is much worse than on my old 19″ ViewSonic monitor.
