Viewsonic 22" Widescreen is coming.....

There's an Acer 22" coming out that costs about £280-330. I assume the price discrepancy is possibly due to VGA/DVI versions of the same panel.

Looks like the original plastic wrap they come in. Look at the top edges.

Think he was talking about the pic halfway up the page without the tabs on m8.

*bump*

Any more news on this please, it says arriving end of august and it pretty much is now, I've been holding off buying another w/s in the hope that this is a relatively good screen.

Likewise, I would be interested to know how it holds up against the Dell 2007 w/s. Despite what the ladies tell me, the extra 2" does make a difference!

Any news?

Anyone know if this is height adjustable and whether it can swivel?

You would have thought there would have been some reviews out by now like, but it looks like it tilts 5º down and 20º up. No swivel I don't think. Here's the specs,

Shame its ugly as sin....
Think I will still be getting the VX2025

HighlandeR · 2 Sep 2006 at 22:42

I think it looks nice, would make a nice upgrade from 19inch/ and proberly give it another 3-5 years time much better TFTs will appear

Shame they cant just stick a HDMI connector on there

Acer vrs Viewsonic

Why would I pay £350 for the 22" Viewsonic when the Acer uses exactly the same panel, is more stylist imo, and is £280, £70 cheaper?

I realise Viewsonic have the better brand name but if its the same panel anyway....??

Can anyone advise of review locations? Google is showing nothing.

Got a link to the picture of the Acer model, as I can't seem to find it.

I've seen the acer for £280 and £330, so I'd imagine there are VGA and DVI versions floating around. The £280 version will likely be a VGA-only monitor.

A £70 saving would be nice if the VGA is good quality

Is that the Acer you guys are on about all the time?

Looks a lot cleaner/sexeh and DVI input, but apparantly its to be replaced few months time with one with HDCP.

I dunno why they just didnt include that and an HDMI input dont know maybe they dont do any research or think for 5 seconds or even wondered whats this HDTV revoloution ?

Weird....

Its only europe I think that is slow on HDCP, america has had it for ages on their monitors. Why would you want a HDMI connector on a monitor, graphics cards use DVI!

Just seen a BenQ 24" with a HDMI connector actually! :O

Soon graphic cards will include a HDMI connector

Might as well have TFTs that are gonna be future proof especially considering PCs are entering that era/Sony PS3 will also

Nice to see the price has gone up as well!! :mad:

Now come on, that's just crazy pricing. Why the £20 raise again on the pricing? It was £350 last time I checked.
