(More customer reviews)First of all the video doesn't even come close to showing the clarity this screen provides, but I hope it's slightly helpful in that you can see the size better in comparison to a desk and stuff.Now about this beautiful monitor.I admit I've only been looking at it for about a week, but so far my eyes couldn't be happier.LED screens are clearly going to be the future.They look beautiful and save energy and space, and the screen is SO thin!Setup was a breeze - I just connected it to my desktop.The monitor comes with both DVI and VGA cables, but since my desktop had an HDMI output I bought a Premium High Resolution 10FT / 3m 24K GOLD HDMI TO DVI M/M CABLE FOR HDTV PLASMA DVD that uses the HDMI from my Desktop into the DVI in the monitor.I doubt I really needed to buy this, compared the cable with just the regular DVI to DVI and it still looked great, though it did seem a dash clearer (it could be my imagination).
Also, when shopping around and reading reviews of other monitors (especially LED) I noticed several customers complaining that it took a lot of setting switches to get the screen to look right.. with this monitor (at least for me) the picture looked perfect right from the start up.It does let you change the contrast and such, but I haven't dared to mess with them because I think it looks perfect as is.
About the sound.. I watch a lot of movies on my computer and listen to a lot of music, so imagining using a monitor's built in sound system horrifies me, but if you don't care about a high quality stereo system, I listened to the speakers and they'll do just fine.
So my overall review is an A+ thumbs up.I spent hours looking at monitors at Best Buy and on Amazon and anywhere else that sells them and I think I made a great choice with this ViewSonic.Granted, I've only had it a handful of days, but hopefully I won't have to revise this review for at least 3 years (that's how long the warranty is).If you have any other questions about the screen or would like to see a different video just leave a comment and I'll try to help you out!
**4 Month Update
- Just thought I'd let you guys know it's been nearly 2 months now and my 5 star review still stands so far.Absolutely no dead pixels, and absolutely no problems.Unlike other LEDs I've seen in the store, the stand on this is very sturdy and has never even hinted at falling over.My comp doesn't have a blu ray player, but I watched some 1080p stuff online and it is noticably spectacular on this screen.And now I see Amazon is selling it even cheaper than what I paid for it ($189) so I can't recommend it enough!

What is a LED monitor?
The term "LED monitor" generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In an LED backlight monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. Environmentally friendly LED backlights provide the following benefits:
About 40% less power consumption compared to traditional CCFL monitor
10,000,000:1 MEGA Contrast Ratio
Environmentally friendly mercury-free backlight
Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
Slimmer design
Weight reduction
Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp
LED: Light Emitting Diode
Save cash and save the planet
With its mercury free backlight and low energy consumption, the Energy Star 5.0 certified VX2250wm-LED is not only environmentally friendly but also friendly on your electricity bill as well.This can add up to thousands of dollars saved for large install bases, such as big corporate buildings or schools, the savings can be as dramatic as $20,000 in five years!
MEGA dynamic contrast ratio
One of the great features of VX2250wm-LED is its ability to dim the backlight completely for pure darkness during dark scenes such as a night shot in a movie. Contrast ratios refer to the ratio of the brightest color to the darkest color.With traditional CCFL backlit displays, contrast ratios are limited to the fluorescent lamp's ability to dim in order to reproduce darkness.However, with the LED backlight, each LED has the ability to completely shut off allowing for a near infinite ratio of black to white contrast.The end result is true blacks that result in greater overall image quality.
Pair it with a ViewSonic or Mac computer
One of the key advantages of the VX2250wm-LED monitor is its diverse connectivity options, making it flexible to be paired with a PC or a Mac computer. ViewSonic has recently announced a full line of PC products, including notebooks, netbooks, PC Minis and all-in-one PCs.
