#VIEWSONIC VA1912WB MANUAL FULL#

The VA1912wb scored high on CNET Labs DisplayMate-based sharpness tests: text in particular was crisp, nicely contrasted, and easy to read. We tested the ViewSonic VA1912wb at its native resolution of 1,440x900 and were pleased with its above-average overall performance.

The speakers themselves sound quite full for built-ins, but their maximum volume is not terribly loud. As it is, you have to go through the OSM to adjust the volume. There's a dedicated mute button for the built-in speakers, but we wish that ViewSonic had also made the up/down arrow keys double as volume keys instead of quick-launch keys for brightness and contrast adjustments.

When it comes to adjusting the image, the onscreen menu (OSM) is very easy to navigate, and the control panel offers all the buttons you need. You can find better performance, however, in the Samsung SyncMaster 970P and more adjustability in the NEC MultiSync LCD1970VX, but neither offer the bang-for-the-buck of the VA1912wb. The 20-inch wide-screen Envision EN2028 costs nearly $200 more, and the standard-aspect 19-inch competition, such as the Westinghouse LCM-19v5 and the Acer AL1951B can't match the VA1912wb's performance, and they offer less screen real estate. Though the 19-inch ViewSonic VA1912wb looks modest, it packs a punch with above-average performance, full-sounding built-in speakers, and a very sweet $349 price.

For more work-focused users, wide-aspect LCDs offer enough screen space to accommodate multiple windows at once. Wide-screen LCDs are becoming a must-have, especially for media enthusiasts and gamers. In the market for a budget-price wide-screen LCD?
