Viewsonic VA2259-sh - 22 inch IPS monitor

Bought another Viewsonic monitor for my usage. This time it's the Viewsonic VA2259-sh, which is a 22" IPS panel monitor from Viewsonic's value range of monitors. This monitor comes with a matte screen, which is a must-have feature for me these days. I can't stand monitors or TVs with glossy screen.

This Viewsonic VA2259-sh produces good punchy colors and good viewing angles. Minimal IPS glow all around. Reading text is still comfortable for me with the native Full-HD 1920x1080 resolution on Windows 100% dpi scaling.

Downside?

The only complaint from me about this monitor is the unstable base stand. A slight knock on my desk will shake the monitor.

Check out this model Viewsonic VA2259-SMH on Amazon.com which has two extra internal speakers.

Viewsonic VA2419-sh - Cheap 24 inch IPS monitor

Just got this Viewsonic VA2419-sh to replace my old 19" LCD monitor. The Viewsonic VA2419-sh is a budget monitor from Viewsonic's VA series. VA is short for value.

This monitor has Full HD (1920x1080) resolution, 24" AH-IPS matte screen (23.8" viewable). I think 24" size monitors is the sweet spot for me. Text displayed on the screen are not too small while still maintaining a good amount of sharpness at 100% Window's dpi scaling. I just couldn't stand reading for long hours on a 27" monitor. Anything above 24" should have a higher resolution than Full HD.

The Viewsonic VA2419-sh has 1 HDMI port, 1 VGA port and a 3.5mm audio-out jack. It would be great if there are 2 HDMI ports but at this price point, I can't complain much.

The only gripe I have with this monitor is the IPS glow near the bottom of the screen, which is a normal characteristic of a IPS panel.
