Viewsonic VX2439wm Review

Are you thinking of purchasing the Viewsonic VX2439wm? This monitor is a very popular model among consumers. In this article I will be exploring reasons as to why this model is so well received. I will also go over some of the pros and cons of the product based on real customer feedback.

Viewsonic VX2439wm Key Features

The VX2439wm is a 24 inch wide screen LCD monitor with a default resolution of 1920 x 1080. This means that it can play movies at 1080p (Full HD) without having your picture stretched or having black fillers at the side. The monitor also comes with build in speakers with SRS technology. It has 3 different inputs supported: DVI, HDMI and VGA and has a 2ms response time with 100000:1 contrast ratio.

What are users saying about it

For the most part, feedback about this product has been quite positive. Most users are happy with the picture quality and some have even bought a second monitor for a dual monitor setup. While the default settings are good enough for most consumers, some professionals said that they needed to adjust the color balancing to get optimum results.

Normally built in speakers for monitors are extremely poor quality and are unbearable to use. However, while the speakers for the VX2439 are nothing to shout about, users do report that they are better than expected. Of course, a dedicated sound system is always recommended for those wanting better sound especially for watching movies.

In terms of design, users have said the design is fantastic and look the sleek look. It's skinny build and layout of the controls and inputs are also well thought out. Some users gripe about the prominent HDMI and 1080p bezels present on the monitor saying its tacky and cheap looking. If this bothers you, you can follow some users example of taking a black marker and blotting out the words (though I think this is a bit extreme).

Another user also mentioned that he would have preferred a more solid base, however he also noted that the monitors that come with metal bases and have height adjustment usually are in the higher end range. It is worth mentioning that this monitor can be wall mounted. It is also able to be mounted on monitor arms so you can use it in a dual monitor set up like some other users.

What else should you know?

For some reason, it appears that certain batches of this monitor is prone to higher failure rates than normal. while it is uncertain whether this problem still exists, it is a good idea to make sure you get the warranty when you purchase. The manufacturer provides a 3 year limited warranty for parts and labor as well as backlight issues. One user even extended the warranty another 2 years because he thought the price was worth it.
