User Reviews for ViewSonic VP231WB 23

Reviewed by: Cigarjohn

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Excellant, sleek appearance, includes 4 USB ports, Pivot technology, very sharp details while watching videos and no ghosting while playing games.

Weaknesses: Heavy. Very Pricey. Pivot Technology was hard to install.

Overall Evaluation: Excellant LCD Display if you can afford it. Sharpness is unreal. Had problems with the installation of the Pivot Technology. As big as it is, one really doesn't need to use the Pivot Technology.
