Keep in mind that this review is being written by a guy who's got some vision challenges.
It's a MIRACLE!!! I can SEE!!! This monitor is a good solution for poor/failing eyesight. Of course, not a permanent one, but a good one, nonetheless. Bright monitor with a reasonably high resolution that makes reading without a magnifying glass possible (17 inch laptop just wasn't up to it) even in standard definition and contrast mode. I have put the accessibility options back in the box and am back to normal productivity: no more magnifying glass!
Lightweight and tilt make adjustability a snap. Height is easily and safely adjusted with a medium sized book under the stand. This monitor also has four attachment points on the back for using a swing arm mount should you choose to do so. Hook up to the ViewSonic site to download driver updates (if they're needed) and follow the prompts. Adjust your graphics card driver to the full resolution of the monitor. BAM! Done.
I'm now able to read text and numbers with relative ease. I can't tell if things are fuzzy or clear, but the color and contrast impressions I'm getting are better than I'm used to.
I think that for price/performance, you have to give this monitor five stars. Also for design and ease of use. The only weakness would have to be the speakers, but since I use external speakers their tinny-ness does nothing to detract, and they would be useful to an office user for the audible prompt they are capable of providing.
90 day edit: Nothing to add except that I has performed flawlessly while standing up to 10 hours per day use.that includes editing/typing, streaming video, and an occasional hour or two with Fallout Four or Laura Croft, etc. I still highly recommend.
