What is a LED monitor?
The term “LED monitor” generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In an LED backlight monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. Environmentally friendly LED backlights provide the following benefits: - About 40% less power consumption compared to traditional CCFL monitor
- 10,000,000:1 MEGA Contrast Ratio
- Environmentally friendly mercury-free backlight
- Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
- Slimmer design
- Weight reduction

 | Save cash and save the planet
With its mercury free backlight and low energy consumption, the Energy Star 5.0 certified VX2250wm-LED is not only environmentally friendly but also friendly on your electricity bill as well. This can add up to thousands of dollars saved for large install bases, such as big corporate buildings or schools, the savings can be as dramatic as $20,000 in five years! | 
|
MEGA dynamic contrast ratio
One of the great features of VX2250wm-LED is its ability to dim the backlight completely for pure darkness during dark scenes such as a night shot in a movie. Contrast ratios refer to the ratio of the brightest color to the darkest color. With traditional CCFL backlit displays, contrast ratios are limited to the fluorescent lamp’s ability to dim in order to reproduce darkness. However, with the LED backlight, each LED has the ability to completely shut off allowing for a near infinite ratio of black to white contrast. The end result is true blacks that result in greater overall image quality. |

Pair it with a ViewSonic or Mac computer
One of the key advantages of the VX2250wm-LED monitor is its diverse connectivity options, making it flexible to be paired with a PC or a Mac computer. ViewSonic has recently announced a full line of PC products, including notebooks, netbooks, PC Minis and all-in-one PCs. Now you can hook up a Viewsonic ViewBook notebook or a PC Mini as well as a MacBook or a Mac Mini to the VX2250wm-LED and enjoy a full 22" (21.5" Vis) widescreen with LED backlight!

VESA mountable
The VX2250wm-LED features a 100mm x 100mm VESA mountable design that allows you to mount it on a monitor stand or on a wall, depending on your specific needs. You can detach the base easily by unscrewing four screws and then mount the display on its new stand or wall mount. |
 | Eco-mode for up to 35% energy savings
ViewSonic’s proprietary Eco Mode function comes standard with the VX2250wm-LED. When you don’t need all of the powerful features the VX2250wm-LED has to offer, you have the option to reduce the monitor’s brightness, save energy, and prolong the lamp life. You can select one of the “Optimize” or “Conserve” options and save up to 35% energy. Especially under low ambient light conditions, adjusting the brightness will improve visibility by reducing eye fatigue. Reducing brightness will also prolong the monitor’s lamp life, improving your return on investment. |  |

One of the aspects that makes ViewSonic a market leader in displays is its commitment to quality. ViewSonic is committed to using the highest grade panels and offer the best pixel performance policy in the market. We also back our displays with a 3-year warranty for your peace of mind. | |

 Crisp and clear - and you don't have to mess with the settings! June 6, 2010

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1BJIUX770ZV1X First of all the video doesn't even come close to showing the clarity this screen provides, but I hope it's slightly helpful in that you can see the size better in comparison to a desk and stuff.
Now about this beautiful monitor. I admit I've only been looking at it for about a week, but so far my eyes couldn't be happier. LED screens are clearly going to be the future. They look beautiful and save energy and space, and the screen is SO thin! Setup was a breeze - I just connected it to my desktop. The monitor comes with both DVI and VGA cables, but since my desktop had an HDMI output I bought a Premium High Resolution 10FT / 3m 24K GOLD HDMI TO DVI M/M CABLE FOR HDTV PLASMA DVD that uses the HDMI from my Desktop into the DVI in the monitor. I doubt I really needed to buy this, compared the cable with just the regular DVI to DVI and it still looked great, though it did seem a dash clearer (it could be my imagination).
Also, when shopping around and reading reviews of other monitors (especially LED) I noticed several customers complaining that it took a lot of setting switches to get the screen to look right.. with this monitor (at least for me) the picture looked perfect right from the start up. It does let you change the contrast and such, but I haven't dared to mess with them because I think it looks perfect as is.
About the sound.. I watch a lot of movies on my computer and listen to a lot of music, so imagining using a monitor's built in sound system horrifies me, but if you don't care about a high quality stereo system, I listened to the speakers and they'll do just fine.
So my overall review is an A+ thumbs up. I spent hours looking at monitors at Best Buy and on Amazon and anywhere else that sells them and I think I made a great choice with this ViewSonic. Granted, I've only had it a handful of days, but hopefully I won't have to revise this review for at least 3 years (that's how long the warranty is). If you have any other questions about the screen or would like to see a different video just leave a comment and I'll try to help you out!
**2 Month Update
- Just thought I'd let you guys know it's been nearly 2 months now and my 5 star review still stands so far. Absolutely no dead pixels, and absolutely no problems. Unlike other LEDs I've seen in the store, the stand on this is very sturdy and has never even hinted at falling over. My comp doesn't have a blu ray player, but I watched some 1080p stuff online and it is noticably spectacular on this screen. And now I see Amazon is selling it even cheaper than what I paid for it ($189) so I can't recommend it enough!
Awesome Monitor! June 18, 2010

I just received an order of 2 of these. I've been using them for the past couple of hours. The screens are absolutely beautiful.
Pros
-Great color, perfect picture
-First screen I've never had to change the color settings on.
-Sturdy stand, minimal screen wobble
-Perfect size
-Easy on the eyes
-Great brightness
-No dead/stuck pixels
-Windows 7 automatically installed the driver for the screen
Cons
-The speakers are awful (what did you expect?)
-The screen didn't look perfect before the driver was installed, definitely install it
-The menu is not very intuitive, took a few seconds to figure out
-Changing volume is a pain
-When screen is completely black, there is a little bit of light bleed on the edges
Notes
-Don't buy these for the speakers, unless it's an office environment
-If using speakers, just turn the volume up to 100 on the screen and control it from the computer
-Remember to install the monitor driver
This is really a great monitor! As a programmer, I'm extremely happy to have two of these when working on projects.

I had two regular LCD KDS monitors of approximately the same size but I was perceiving some type of flicker that was really bothering my eyes more and more. As I had a Mac Book Pro that didn't give me these problems, and I knew it used LED backlighting, I decided to spring for some LED monitors.
I ordered two of these, and wow, what a difference! I plugged one into my Dual-DVI card and compared it side by side with the better of my two older monitors to compare and the picture was so much crisper, but not only that, the old monitors were definitely green-tinted which I never noticed before but the default Windows 7 background went from shades of Cyan to shades of blue as it should have been. I did notice before that the old CCFL monitors did not show white but something distinctly off-shade no matter how much I fiddled with the color settings, gave up, and reset factory defaults - these monitors showed white as exactly that out of the box with no fiddling. I would say the improvement was most visible with a traditional computer app, that has a lot of text/drop-down menus/browser/etcetera, with video I did not see such a dramatically better difference.
The screens are matte but it doesn't bother me (it's not edge to edge glass) especially at this price. The bezel is a pleasing glossy black which looks to be good quality and the controls are on the front, bottom right, and are not physical, but touch activated with the menu in center of the screen. It screws onto the base needing no tools, it will tilt up and down but not adjust up and down vertically nor swing left or right without turning the entire base.
I attached a Kill-A-Watt meter to my "old" monitor (built March 2007) and a new one. The old ones use 43 and these ones use 26 watts each, (26/44 = 60.4% of previous usage) so the energy claims of 30 to 40% savings are entirely fair and perhaps understated in a few cases. They definitely don't get as hot in the back as my old monitors.
I also can spend time in front of the computer again without flicker bothering my eyes. I have good speakers, so I cannot comment on the built in speakers as I haven't bothered with them yet.
Excellent Display. Picture is Crisp and sharp June 9, 2010

I've only had this monitor for about a week and it is connected to a late 2009 Mac Mini via DVI using the cables received with both units. The Mac mini had no problem detecting this monitor however I still ran the utility disk that came with the monitor and it installed a 6500K specific color scheme which looked nice but I preferred using the sRGB color scheme on the mac and using the sRGB setting on the Monitor. The sRGB setting on the monitor disables the Brightness and Contrast settings but I found the picture to be excellent and no need to change those settings. Colors appeared spot on and no issue with the the monitor being too bright. Using other color presets on the monitor required me to turn the Brightness and Contrast down as the monitor was way too bright.
This Mac was connected to a Samsung 720P 42" Plasma TV and although Video looked really good text was not very readable. With the ViewSonic monitor text is absolutely perfect. Dark colors are rich including black and white is very very white as compared to other monitors I'm using. The monitor also has a decent viewing angle which is as good or better than other monitors in this class that I looked at in stores. I prefer the matte finish on the screen as I get alot of sun light through a slider behind me when I'm at this monitor and have no trouble viewing the picture.
Watched the LOST finale in 1080p from the ABC website and the image is stunning. Colors looked sharp and accurate. The monitor's stereo speakers are fine with me as I don't turn the volume up very high. Monitor arrived with no dead pixels or light bleeding, overall I'm very pleased with this purchase and Amazon delivered the monitor very quickly and packaged appropriately.
Great HD Monitor June 17, 2010

This new monitor exceeded my expectations. Usually the newest technology is plagued with minor problems that lead to a larger headache but not this time. ViewSonic has continued its long tradition with this LED monitor.
Plusses -
- No time wasted color calibrating the monitor for graphic intense uses. I work with a lot of digital photographs and using the color profile that is installed when you install the monitor gives you the 'What You See is What You Get' that I have only previously seen in more expensive monitors.
- Images & videos are crisp.
- No temperature build up around the monitor. It does not have the high heat generation that LCD & Plasma monitors have. The only spot that gets slightly warm is the center of the monitor back where the bulk of the system is, and that is only slightly warmer.
- comes with ALL the cables. Unlike others it comes with cables to cover both types of video hookup and an audio cable.
- the monitor buttons are not buttons. There is a power button in the middle bottom, but on the lower right there are 2 numbers and an up and down arrow. I looked around for the buttons for the labels and was pleasantly surprised that they are touch spots. So it is easy for someone with large meat hooks for fingers to work the controls.
- The monitor tilts!
Downsides (not really but...)
- The built in speakers are ok sounding. But lets face it you are not buying a monitor like this for its sound quality. I have yet to find built in speakers that provide great quality.
- The monitor does not swivel. To change the viewing angle you have to turn the whole monitor.
I could not be happier with this monitor (ok if it were free or came with a winning lottery ticket I would be).
