Hits the size and resolution sweet spot ; Decent image quality for a TNer ; Good value for money

1ms response a bit of a gimmick

Forget the flawed 1ms technology and this has good image quality and at a competitive price

Stylish design, range of connectivity, fast response time

No environment presets/custom modes, resolution and aspect ratio means you may not have as much room as you'd expect, doesn't really excel in any one area

Viewsonic's VX2739 is an impressive display if only for its sheer size and low response time, but due to some fairly minor issues elsewhere these factors will have to be key to anyone considering a purchase. At £285 it's fairly reasonably priced and as...

If you're purely after a very large LCD monitor, then the ViewSonic VX2739wm should be near the top of your list. However, if you want optimal image quality, we would recommend spending a little less on a smaller but better-quality display.

The ViewSonic VX2739wm sells for Rs. 24,999, which is way higher than any other 24-inch TN panel monitor. There are TN panel monitors that sell for roughly half this price. Paying close to twice as much and getting nothing more than a slightly larger...

Huge size for cheap price ; Can take 24p content ; Impressive typical contrast ratio

Auto-input switching wastes power ; Little adjustability in the stand ; Image is too sharp ; Poor speakers ; Side buttons

However, it does provide a huge, full HD monitor for an incredibly cheap price — and we'd wager many people would be happy with just that.
