ViewSonic VX922

By admin on April 21st, 2009

The ViewSonic VX922 is billed as a superfast LCD because of its 2-millisecond pixel-response time. In plain English, pixel-response time refers to the amount of time it takes for a pixel to switch from active mode to inactive mode; a fast response time usually results in clear and smooth video and gaming performance. The 19-inch VX922 is the fastest monitor we’ve tested–the second fastest is the 3ms ViewSonic VX924–and games look stellar, but DVD playback doesn’t quite live up to the hype.

Sharp picture; good gaming performance; simple, pleasant-looking design.
DVD and grayscale performance aren’t terribly impressive; minimal adjustment options.

The 19-inch ViewSonic VX922’s fast 2-millisecond pixel response makes for stellar gaming performance, but DVD playback disappoints; nongamers may be better served by a more adjustable LCD.
