Comment on ViewSonic VA2431WM 24-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor with Speakers by M. Fury “music and PC guru”.
Overall great monitor for the price,
I was looking for a new monitor to compliment my Mac Pro since I am dropping $4k+ on the Mac itself I can’t afford their ONLY option of a $1k 27 inch monitor. I did some research and took a look at the reviews and decided to take a shot on this Viewsonic 24 inch with speakers. For $189 you can’t beat it. It has DVI and VGA inputs w/ built in speakers and the quality is really solid. I use the DVI inputs with a DirecTV HD receiver and use the VGA with my Mac/PC. I am a little disappointed with the black levels for use as an HDTV but it’s not really meant for that per se but I can’t complain for the price. The speakers are pretty weak but the primary use for this monitor is for my studio DAW. It’s a bonus though to be able to watch TV to take a break. 😉
Bottom line is if you are looking for a inexpensive 24 inch HD widescreen, this is for you.
