ViewSonic VA926 19-inch LCD Monitor Review

For a number of years I have had a Viewsonic VP2130b and count my blessings every time I turn my number 1 computer on. Thus, it is no surprise that when I started researching monitors for my number 2 computer, I included the Viewsonic brand.
I went with the 19″ VA926 for a number of reasons other than my satisfaction with the VP2130b.
One huge plus is the screen aspect. Far from being a widescreen…. it even exceeds the 4:3 ratio. The viewable screen measures 15″ in width by 12″ in height which works out to a 5 to 4 ratio. PLENTY of room in height to view web pages or documents without resorting to scrolling. With the 5:4 aspect you get very close to the same viewable height on this 19″ monitor as with a standard 21″.
The resolution is 1280 x 1024 so I can’t expect to get the same detail as with the 1600 x 1200 of the VP2130b, but then consider that it’s only about a third the money.
The image colors are strikingly vivid and bright compared to the considerably more expensive VP2130b, though not having the quite the resolution.
Lastly, it’s really good looking and compact for a screen almost a 180 square inches in area.
I’m very pleased with the VA926 and would buy it all over again in a heart beat……

Customer Reviews
Very nice real-19″ monitor; a couple quibbles. – DavidU – SoCal
The high ratings given by others seem accurate as to performance. I’ve had my VA926 for more than a month now and am very satisfied. The 5:4 aspect ratio and lack of speakers, suits my preference and available space, as I don’t use a PC for movies. Two caveats for others: The instructions say nothing about adjusting the tilt, which was slightly frontward. The pivot bolt was so tight I feared breaking the plastic moldings if I tried to tilt the screen back; and there was no way to get at the nut with a wrench. Finally I phoned ViewSonic and a helpful tech said to just hold the screen at top and bottom and push the top back firmly. That worked. Second, The five buttons are silver color in the photo. In reality they are tiny black rectangles with microscopic legends molded in, against a black bezel –basically unreadable, and not single-function. To adjust brightness today, I had to put in the CD and find the pages in the User Guide pdf to explain the buttons. “Designers” who just mold important legends into black plastic are idiots, sadists or both: lawyers!
ViewSonic VA926 – Mike – Yorba Linda, CA
One of the last 4:3 aspect ratio monitors that I could find on the market. I use a KVM for multiple computers and the 16:4 aspect ratio does not work well. My previous ViewSonic 19″ LCD lasted 5 years of continuous use and I expect to get another 5 years out of this one. I have never been disappointed with any of the ViewSonic products and any problems were immediately handled by the company without issue.
The quality and resolution are excellent with the controls in the front where they are easy to reach. Just a solid 19″ monitor.
Great viewing – M. Haas – Portland, OR
Easy to set up and a good clean picture, bright colors, no distortion. I just wish there was greater availability of these standard size monitors as all of us consumers don’t want or need widescreen.
