I was skeptical of buying an off brand and was originally going to purchase an HP or Dell. But Office Depot had these on sale for $200 and given the option of a 22" over a 19" for the same price I was tempted to take the risk.

I was not disappointed!

Apart from three or four stuck pixels on the very edge of the screen where you barely notice them, this monitor exceeded all of my expectations.  It's sharp, has high contrast, the color rendition is superior to many CRT's I've owned, and the refresh rate is VERY fast (no ghosting whatsoever).

I have an older 20" Philips CRT setup on the same computer.  Side by side there is no comparison, the Soyo is significantly better, but this could have to do with the fact that the CRT is somewhat faded. But even on display at the store it was quite obvious that the Soyo's color and contrast were as good, if not better, than most of the other monitors on display... another factor leading to my purchase.

Don't let the low cost fool you. If you're willing to put up with a stuck pixel or two (which are usually no big deal) Soyo is a brand checking out.

This monitor is more than I expected with how much it is! Great quality and lots of features! Sadly had a dead pixel when I set it up. But other than this I've had no issues.

Great display for a reasonable price.  So far, this UHD (3840 x 2160) 4K monitor has met all my expectations (I've been using for it for only the last 10 days).  The screen is very sharp and clear, the stand sturdy and easily adjustable, and the display control puck is handy for changing monitor settings.  I use this monitor mainly for CAD work, so I cannot attest to its gaming qualities.  I do recommend a high-quality DisplayPort 1.2-compliant cable for connections with your computer.  I am presently using an Accell UltraAV B142C-010B-2 DisplayPort to DisplayPort 3-m-long cable.  When selecting a cable, keep in mind that the video input ports on the monitor are located on the far right-hand side, which may require a longer cable if your computer is located on the left side of your desk.

This monitor has an excellent picture and is nice and bright.  I do not detect any glare and I am in a bright, sunlit room.  I can easily read the text on websites and in word processing programs.  I do a lot of transcription work and this monitor is large enough to have several programs running and viewable at the same time without an additional monitor.  The price makes this monitor a real winner in my book.

This monitor is a featherweight, but I thought it made it easier to install on the wall.  It doesn't feel any less substantial than any other flat panel screen I've seen.

The speakers do have the tinny sound others mention, but I didn't buy the monitor for the speakers.  If you want great sound buy a seperate speaker system because you will not be pleased with the speakers that are built into this monitor.

I like the glossy black frame this monitor has and I don't find the blue ON/OFF switch to be distracting at all.

One more important mention I'd like to make....

...This monitor had absolutely NO dead pixels.  That can't be said for some of the more expensive monitors out there.  (I know because I have two which both had a couple dead pixels each)

I'm very pleased with this monitor. I purposely bought this one because of the 2 HDMI connections -- I use one for computer and the other for my Xbox. The speakers are okay, however I purchased external speakers. The stand is nice and sturdy. Color is nice. Monitor weight is very light, easy to move around if needed. Very pleased, would purchase another.

Great Monitors! I picked 2 of these up during the 89.00 sale! Picture quality and colors are exceptional! If they had HDMI ports or even 3.5mm ports, would be even better but it's fine without. I use them for all sort of PC gaming and console gaming as a television source even. Never had an issue with broken pixels, bleeding of colors, etc.

A true value at the price!

An excellent monitor for the price. I purchased this with the intention of 1440p gaming on my PC. Honestly I didn't expect the difference in resolution to be so incredible. The screen is only 3" larger than my other monitors, but it feels MASSIVE because its 2560x1440. Windows look tiny on the thing (though they are still easily legible). I don't play twitch shooters, so the input lag is fine for my purposes, and the colors are good looking, if not necessarily accurate out of the box. The only complaint I could level is that there is minor backlight bleed around the bottom two corners, but it's within what I would consider acceptable for this product given the price. $50 more than a Qnix or similar Korean panel and I get a USA warranty and a more polished product. I'd consider it money well spent.

Dont know much about computer monitors but I really am happy with this monitor. I like the thin bezel look. Only thing I didn't like is the buttons for menu options, I think there should be an easier way maybe with a scroll button or something. But I am overall happy with the purchase.

This is the second Viewsonic monitor I have purchased in the last two years. This 27" monitor was purchased for my son who is a bigtime gammer and he loves it! He is know using this screen with his older Viewsonic 21" (which has worked flawlessly for past 5 years) in tandem. Anyone in the market for a quality monitor at reasonable pricing should look to Viewsonic!

This is a great monitor for the price. I have a decently powerful gaming rig, usually aiming for 60 fps but not higher. This monitor delivers crisp, clear, 60fps output. The dual hdmi input is a nice feature as well.

This is a great monitor, especially for the price.  It has 2 HDMI ports and 1 VGA.  The picture is as good as you would expect.
I use mine as an extended monitor for my laptop via HDMI.  It works great for that.  Since "upgrading" to Windows 8.1, I have a quirk with the viewable area, but that in Microsoft's fault.

I bought this as a sort of introduction into more pricey displays for a computer that I've slowly been adding onto. Out of the box with no calibration, it's surprisingly accurate, and the anti-glare coating hasn't really shown, which was my main worry. The contrast is beautiful, and with a little bit of calibrations, this is one of the best monitors I've been able to see personally. I've seen better, but for what I paid at $200, this has more than enough to justify that. Packaging was what you would expect, and it comes with the two most basic, necessary cables (D-DVI and VGA). Setup was as simple as latching on the stand, then adjusting it how I please, which is easy to do on the go as well. I found myself altering the contrast/brightness for a while to get it exactly where I wanted, but I'm a little nitpicky. The viewing angles are a lot better than my last two monitors, and it perform well for all the games I've tried it on. I prefer the 1920x1080 16:9 over 16:10, so it was a nice jump up in resolution from what I had before. My only gripe was that the D-DVI cable that came with it is a bit flimsy, so I replaced it. I've just ordered my second one, so I'm definitely pleased.

Summary
A good monitor for the money, especially if you need a 15 pin D-Sub (VGA) input. I don't plan to return mine, but there may be better ones out there for similar cost. If I were buying today, I'd also have a close look at the Asus 24 inch models.

This is my first LED monitor, I'm coming from a 19 inch (17.1 viewable) CRT. I got the 2443BWX on sale Best Buy for $300.

Obviously, twenty four inches is a nice improvement. My aging GeForce 5500 128MB AGP card manages - but just barely - to drive the 2443BWX at its 1920x1200 native resolution at 60 Hz.  I can get the native resolution only with the analog input.

Text is razor sharp. Video looks good. No ghosting or motion blur. Color is good, but before the auto adjust feature (which may work only with VGA) reds were over saturated. Blacks are dark, but not as sharply defined as with my old CRT.

Since my last monitor was a CRT, I am not accustomed to the limited viewing angle. It took a while to find the position that worked best for me, which was to place the top of the monitor just below eye level, and tilt the monitor back slightly.

Pros

Big screen for the money. Three year parts and labor warranty. No ghosting. No motion blur. Very nice picture quality for web browsing, video, and newsgroup browsing.

Works with Linux - in Kubuntu 8.04 with the Nvidia closed source driver (version 169.12) I have it set as a SyncMaster 240T.

The auto adjust feature worked well for me, which was a very good thing considering the horrible On Screen Display controls.

Cons

At first, I thought I had zero bad pixels out of the box. While none are completely dead or stuck, there is a cluster at the left hand edge of the screen that shows red when they should be black.

Unlike the 2443BW, the 2443BWX has no height adjustment capability and no USB ports.

The full user manual is on CD only, no paper edition is in the box.

OSD control buttons are truly horrible. This is easily the worst feature of the monitor. I've had the monitor for a week now, and I still haven't managed to use all the adjustments. Once you manage to get in the desired setting, it is a crap shoot as to whether you'll adjust the setting in the correct direction, inadvertently leave the OSD screen, or jump to the next setting.

As with all TN LCDs, optimum viewing angle is limited. With a screen this size, the problem is magnified. If you aren't positioned perfectly in relation to the 2443BWX, you'll see either the TN characteristic darkness at the top, bottom or side of the screen.

Depending on your needs, the lack of HDMI, no height adjustable stand, no USB ports, and no speakers may or not be problematic to you.

Large monitor, looks great, no dead pixels, and very vibrant colors. For the price, you can't beat it!

All I can say is WOW!  I was in need of a new monitor.  Prior to the purchase I had a three monitor set-up (1-24" 1080p, 2-20" 1600x900) displays.  I wanted to upgrade to the monitor world of high quality HD.  I have been looking for monitors for around 2 months and then I saw this one (was also looking at the QNIX monitors to save some cash).  I was somewhat hesitant about purchasing because I new this was a "low end" 1440p monitor.  Well after receiving it, there is NOTHING "low end" about it. Within a day and a half of my purchase I already bought a 2nd one.  The display is great (1440p/IPS) and blows my previous ones out of the water.  I have nothing negative about this monitor (backlight bleeds, dead pixels, etc.) other than that it is not VESA compatible without purchasing additional equipment (this doesn't bother me considering the stand height is perfect for my desk).  I am not able to give my opinion for gamers, because I use these for productivity and work. I would HIGHLY recommended this to anyone looking to upgrade their current monitor while on a budget!
