Viewsonic VX2025 - PRICE REDUCTION!!

hartgeh3 · 14 Mar 2006 at 00:23

is the Philips one better? as the Dell will most probably be out of my price range

It has more features than the Viewsonic, the Philips has hardware scaling which from what i can tell the viewsonic just stretches the pictures to fill the screen.

Personally, the NEC seems to be the better screen on the market if you have over £400 to spent, under £400, I would go for the Philips. The Viewsonic is nice and has a good reputation as a manufacturer. But i think they've dropped the ball on this one in terms of features on the screen.

cheers Raymond, think i'll go for the Philips after checking your thread out

How does this compare to the Dell 2005?

My friend payed 60 pounds more for this monitor, a day before the price reduction how gutting.

I didn't mention any competitor! :confused:

Jeez, I bought stuff from this place probably in its first year of business - a pre-overclocked Slot A Athlon 750 when OCUK was all for and by enthusiasts, now it seems sadly that there is only one objective.

Dare anyone mention that stuff is also sold elsewhere... :mad:

Any chance a review from the friend? Seems mixed feelings about this monitor! I currently have the VX912 (Beauty

), looking to get the VX2025 as partner for dual

(For my birthday

)

Anyone?

Also whats happening with the VX2022? Better monitor right? But, not available to the uk?

Thanks,
King

you were discussing prices of the product elsewhere which isn't allowed im afraid. No harm done though Magic Man

Just got back from work with mine. It's huge! :cool:

No dead/stuck pixels, everything seems spot on. Even had a DVI cable in the box, which i wasn't expecting.

Off to cable tidy now.

Will put some pics up later...

Looking forward to your full review.

BTW, if you can, please check out native ability to 1:1 scale 4:3 games/DVDs (or ability of your graphics card to accomplish same while using this monitor).

quadboi · 15 Mar 2006 at 19:26

Yes please take some pics

maranello168 · 15 Mar 2006 at 19:31

looking forward to some pics and a mini review too

Heartless_King · 15 Mar 2006 at 19:32

As me

Also if in one of your pics you could place something like a 30cm ruler on the screen so that we can get an idea of what it would be like

maranello168 · 15 Mar 2006 at 22:37

been a few hours now, chop chop, we need some pics!

tedmaul · 15 Mar 2006 at 23:16

Apologies for the delay. Cables! :mad:

And the footie.

Just got things back up and running again.

Soz the pic quality ain't that great.

Heartless_King · 15 Mar 2006 at 23:35

Next to it? Is that the VX912 or VX712?

Cheers,

David230 · 15 Mar 2006 at 23:42

They are both very nice looking TFT's.

tedmaul · 16 Mar 2006 at 00:03

It's the VX715.

Regarding image scaling - as suspected there's no option to do this via the OSD. I'm just trying to work out if it's possible via my gfx card control panel....

PanchoVilla · 16 Mar 2006 at 00:52

Baddass et al, looks aside, is this monitor better than the PHILIPS one?

Is it the same panel?

Need to order soon.

Heartless_King · 16 Mar 2006 at 01:15

Also could someone explain the image scaling thing clearly for me?

Cheers,
King
