I'm looking at two of these monitors right now

I likeed this monitor so much I purchased a second. Now I'm considering a third. These monitors have good picture quality and reliable. If I had the choice between using these two monitors on a older laptop or purchasing a top-of-the-line laptop with only one monitor I would take these two monitors with my existing computer older laptop, no contest.

Good but with sound and height issues

First up, I'll admit my Viewsonic is not this exact model but the VX2035 that preceded it. But it appears that the stuck pixel thing has happened to more than one reviewer. Thanks to one of them for mentioning using jscreenfix to try and resolve that. I had a stuck pixel dead center right out of the box. Also, the on board speakers are very inadequate. After having always had satellite speakers with great sound, this was a real disappointment. Especially since there are no connections on the monitor for satellite speakers. They must be connected directly to the computer if you want to add them. I will say this for ViewSonic. They have pretty good customer support via on-line chat. So many computer and software companies fail miserably in this oh-so important area. That counts for a lot in my book. One more thing. The wide screen gives your image a slightly stretched display. If you want it to be more to true scale, your display shrinks considerably. True of all wide screens I'm sure. And one more thing. Do you wear glasses that have magnification in the lower portion? I had to remove the monitor from the stand to sit it directly on my desk top so I wouldn't have a sore neck all the time from tipping my head back to look at the screen through the reading portion of my glasses. And even now, I still have to tip my chin up. For the over 40 user with presbyopsia, screens really need to be in a lower position then they are when they are big to begin with and then perched up on top of a stand. Someone needs to start designing computer desks that allow monitors to be set down on a lower platform. It's Ergonmics 101. OK. I'm done. Not blaming this on ViewSonic. They make a good monitor.
