Advantages: Able to run 2 windows side by side

Disadvantages: I Spend a lot more time at the computer

For years I have wanted a nice big flat screen monitor for my pc, I work from home on the same pc so I wanted something big that would be easy on the eyes as I found normal CRT monitors very sore after a few hour work.

I found the VA2216w from ViewSonic on offer in PC world for an appealing £99.00 so popped along to my local store and had a look.
(best price i can find it for is £104 from techbitsonline 27/02/09)

Compared it to its big brother 24" monitor and to be honest I couldn't find any real reason to spend the extra £40 on the 2" bigger screen.

Quality and resolution wise the 22" was excellent, the max resolution that the screen lets you run is 1680 x 1050 and that's what I run it at, this allows you to have 2 pages / windows open side by side, so if you are writing a letter and wanting to keep an eye on an auction or a movie you can watch both at the same time.
Colour quality is excellent, picture quality and definition is also brilliant, and because it's a TFT screen there is no glare from lights / windows.

I work on this pc for 15-18 hours a day and leave feeling tired but my eyes are not sore.

Little spec on the monitor for those in the know.

Video response time of 5ms
contrast ratio of 2000:1
brightness level of 300cd/m²
22" Widescreen - 1680 x 1050 native resolution

Would highly recommend this screen for the gamer or general surfer, as its great at both.
