I have three of this screen; two of them I purchased from Amazon Warehouse. They’re now all calibrated, using DisplayCAL with a ColorMunki Photo and an i1DisplayPro. My settings included: 2.2 Gamma Tone Curve, XYZ LUT + Matrix, and I used 11,140 test patches.
Results:
sRGB Gamut Coverage: 94.5 --- 95.9 --- 93.2 (%)
Average ΔE: 0.34 --- 0.45 --- 0.48
Maximum ΔE: 1.41 --- 1.84 --- 1.78
Static Contrast: 3,223 --- 4,778 --- 5,081 (:1)
Black Level: 0.0144 --- 0.0093 --- 0.0088 (cd/m2)
White Level at 0% brightness: 46.4 --- 44.4 --- 44.7 (cd/m2)
----------------------------
The manufacturer advertises the static contrast as only 3,000:1, so as you can see: this monitor delivers more than it promises. Out of my three monitors, even the quasi-dud at only 3,223 is above the spec. However, the other two outperform my expectation and far outperform their specification.
Another unexpected surprise is the anti-glare coating. The coating is light, perhaps almost semi-gloss, and so text is very clear and the image very pure compared to (for example) many old Dell monitors. And given the small size (19.5”), it offers 113 pixels per inch (PPI). For comparison, you’ve probably seen a 23” 1080 monitor; their PPI is 95.8. And 27” monitors at 2560x1440 offer only 108.8 PPI, thus: the image is sharper with this viewsonic than with those examples.
I wish it provided better sRGB gamut coverage, but it's not bad. I also wish the minimum brightness could go just a little lower. Despite those small dislikes, I'm very happy with this screen; I have three of them below my three 4k IPS monitors, and their size is almost perfect for this application.
This monitor’s primary flaw, in my opinion, is the counter-intuitive button layout. The same button that opens the menu is the one that goes back in the OSD, but my expectation is to go forward. Similarly confusing, the back button is next to the up button (the one that increases rather than decreases a setting). Again, this is the inverse of an intuitive design.
A little about me: I'm a portrait photographer, a computer science student, and perhaps a display aficionado.
It does have a VESA mount. I currently have a pico pc attached to the back of it, but you can easily use it to mount the monitor to, well, a mount.
I didn't have any quality issues or problems setting this up. It was in perfect condition out of the box and the stand was intuitive to put together.
All in all, I wouldn't be in a hurry to replace the $300 high tech model that you are looking to upgrade from, but if you are starting with nothing or looking to replace an aging 10 year old display, this should be the right monitor for you.
I realized as I did more than just casual typing and light business on the SP3 that I needed an extended monitor. Because I never felt like I needed a monitor at home before, I wanted some very affordable, starting low so to speak to see how I value the set-up.
I originally bought the cheaper 720p AOC e970s monitor for $20 less than this ViewSonic. While the $60 AOC did the job, it was too much of an adjustment for the eyes between the high resolution SP3 monitor to the 720p ROC monitor.
I replaced the AOC monitor with this one and was very happy. You will find that the 20" isn't that big. I had a concern with this because I had a smaller desk and wanted to keep the primary display on my SP3 where the keyboard is. Not a problem at all.
I had a concern with reviews saying the adjustment buttons are hard to see. I personally did not find that an issue. While the embossment is hard to see, the space between the buttons and the very smart placement of the power light circumvented the need for a stronger embossment.
There are a total of five buttons. The power button was set apart to the right so you can't really misclick while using the four primary buttons of up, down, 1 (enter) and 2 (exit). The power light is placed dead in the middle of these four buttons so by using four fingers and finding the light, you are golden.
I do not find the need for the built-in speakers on this monitor yet but I thought it was nice.
I did not mind the VGA connection because I had bought a VGA adaptor for the AOC monitor so I actually preferred not having to buy another adapter.
I gave this four stars instead of five because I do feel like there is a hint of the shadowing effects for texts. It is not 100% matched with what I have on the SP3 resolution. But hey, it's only $80!
Make sure you change the color adjustment to Cool and get the Contrast and Brightness to the right levels before using.
Go with this one with you are making up your mind between the bottom of the line device and a more decent full HD 1080p and more capable monitor.
