Movies: We tested the ViewSonic VX2450wm-LED using the Blu-ray version of "Avatar." The movie had fairly accurate colors with some slight, but noticeable green hue problems, with certain lighter faces having trouble shaking that sickly look. Also, fonts were clearly visible down to a 6.8-point size. On VX2450wm-LED, black text on white looked clear, without any obvious color tint problems. Text: It's difficult to screw up text on a modern monitor we not only look at the text itself, but also the effect of black text on a white background, which can sometimes cause a weird yellowish glow to emanate around the text. On the surface are four empty screw holes awaiting VESA connection to a wall.īacklight bleeding was prevalent along the bottom edge of the screen and there was some slight bleeding along the top. Connections face down, tucked a little too far up into their alcove and, as a result, are a little frustrating to access. The middle of the rear chassis is elevated about 1.2 inches with DVI and VGA on the right side and the power port and audio-in port on the left. Like most other white LED-based monitors, the ViewSonic VX2450wm-LED includes only tilt as its ergonomic option, forgoing swivel, pivot, or height adjustment. When knocked from the sides, the display wobbles considerably, but with little chance of it actually toppling. The square-shaped foot stand measures 9.2 inches and just about the same in depth. The monitor's corners are sharp and kind of pointy, which betrays its otherwise rounded edges. The panel's initial depth measures a very thin 0.6 inch, with another 1.25 inches tacked on the back to house the connections and ventilation system. The bezel measures a fairly short 0.8 inch on the sides and the distance from the bottom of the lip to the desktop is 3.2 inches at its longest. In the middle of the lip is a 1-inch-wide power button that glows blue when powered on. Its glossy black bezel is adorned with a transparent "lip" on the bottom.
