Value

This 24-inch widescreen LCD monitor offers great value in its price range. This unit has a built in set of speakers and supports HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) and DVI (digital visual interface), which is not always the case with monitors in this price range. With a good contrast ratio of 1000:1 (typ), this monitor has clear color distinctions. It has wide viewing angles of 170° (H) and 160° (V), which enables the screen to easily be viewed by more than one person at a time. Viewsonic stands behind there product with a 3-year limited warranty on parts, labor and backlight

Ergonomics

The Viewsonic VX2433wm is VESA compatible which will allow you to hang this monitor on a wall with the proper VESA mounting kit or you can insert the monitor into the base that is included. The monitor has a high-gloss, piano-black finish which leaves finger prints and smudges on its frame.

Summary

The Viewsonic VX2433wm offers a lot of wow for the money. The images it produces are clear and sharp. The 24-inch LCD monitor comes with a 15 pin mini D-sub, DVI-D (with HDCP) and HDMI 1.3 inputs which gives you plenty of options to hook this up to your HD TV, notebook or desktop computer. The built in speakers do their job handsomely, eliminating the need for separate speakers on your desktop. This is definitely a monitor to look at, especially if you're on a budget and want more for less.
