Best Monitors - 280 to 400 cd/m^2 Brightness, Input select User Controls, TCO-99 Regulatory Approval

'I'm a big fan of USB ports on LCD monitors, but, unfortunately, the VX2025wm lacks this convenience.'

'Few useful features.'

'Low picture quality.'

'The base follows the silver-and-black color scheme and is a rather large 11 inches wide by 8 inches deep.'

'features are sparse'

'colour handling goes out of the window, with nasty steps in colour ramps instead of the smooth graduations we saw previously.'

'it fared poorly in our text and graphic tests, where its unimpressive scores placed it at the bottom of all the models we tested.'

'The monitor also lacks a cable-management system, which is especially unfortunate when it's turned to portrait orientation and cords are sticking prominently out of the side.'

'I ended up having to prop the display up on a couple of large books to achieve the best height for my eyes.'

'difficult-to-use on-screen menu system'

'The panel is fixed at 3.5 inches above the desk, which is pretty low for the average user; we prefer a minimum of 4 inches,'

'Grayscale performance was merely average, and our white-level saturation test showed that the colors nearest to peak white were slightly washed out.'

'default color settings looked a little too blue and bright'

'No speakers, headphone jack, or extra USB ports.'

'Along the bezel's left edge sits one downstream USB port; in our opinion, that's at least one too few; most LCDs have at least two downstream ports, if not three or four.'
