ViewSonic 22” monitors.

[Palmyra]

ViewSonic sells two 22" monitors in the price range that I am look to spend. The most common one is the “consumer series” VX2235wm and the other is the “graphic series” VG2230mw. For the life of me I can’t find any ligature on them that reports any differences except that the higher priced VG is not as bright as VX but only by a very small amount.

Anyone have any idea on the differences? Use, BTW, will be for general web viewing, Excel, PhotoShop as an advanced armature user, and few simple games. -Thanks

I thought it was the other way around with the VG2230 being a tad brighter than the VX2235 but according to Viewsonic's website both monitors sport the exact same brightness & contrast specs (they're obviously based on the same TN panel).

The only real differences between the two models is that the VX2235 has more powerful speakers than those found in the VG2230 (qualitatively speaking the VX's speakers might be better as well, I have no idea) and that the VG2230 comes with a highly adjustable stand whereas the VX2235 uses a crappy, fixed height stand that only allows a certain degree of tilt. I own the VX2235 and the stand is about as cheap and barebones as it gets.
