ViewSonic VX2265wm FuHzion LCD

The VX2265wm has a pleasant design, with a glossy piano-black finish, and it can tilt and swivel quite easily, though it does not pivot. It includes one DVI connection, but lacks VGA and HDMI ports. It also has built-in speakers that produce reasonable volume; a dedicated gamer, however, will probably want to invest in an external set.

Unlike most other displays, this ViewSonic monitor offers few screen adjustments, limiting you to brightness and volume controls. If you wish to make any other alterations to the screen, you'll have to use controls through your graphics card.

Given its lack of controls and limited connectivity options--and the high price tag for its 3D abilities--the VX2265wm is certainly a niche display. The monitor's 3D capability makes it a good choice for gamers that are looking for an extra buzz when playing the latest shoot-em-up. But if you're looking for a monitor on which to simply get work done, you might want to look elsewhere.
