Lenovo Thinkvision vs Viewsonic

[jjohnston7]

I am buying new computers, and am looking at monitors for them. I am debating between the two below, and was curious which way people tend to lean.

Viewsonic VA2037
Lenovo LS1922

Both have very similar specs, but the viewsonic is slightly bigger, and is $10 less (on sale).

I'd probably look at getting something from Acer, Samsung, ASUS, BenQ, Dell or LG instead to be perfectly honest with you. What kind of money are you looking at spending?

The ViewSonic is 1600x900 and the Lenovo is only 1366x768 - you should really look at getting something a little bigger than about 20" (maybe 22" or 23") and also aim for 1920x1080. Most 22", 23" and 24" monitors these days are 1080p and that's going to be so much better for you than 720p or 900p on a desktop monitor. So I'd recommend looking at something in the 22-24" region from one of the manufacturers I listed above and make sure it's 1080p.

As far as cost goes, you can spend a lot, but really 22-24" 1080p monitors are getting quite cheap now so there's no real reason not to look at that size and resolution. I think LG and Acer in particular make monitors which are good quality and good value for money.

What about the BenQ GW2255

I will take a look at those brands too.

My goal is to keep them right around the $100 mark. They will be used for business computers, so word processing, etc. We will be replacing HP L1906 monitors. So definitely want them to be nicer than those. lol

The BenQ is a much better choice than Lenovo and the ViewSonic. It's LED backlit and 1080p, so picture quality should be better. :good:

Get it if you can!
