We conducted speed and gaming tests to check for ghosting and to ensure its reported 5ms response time was accurate. The VX2245wm had no backlight bleeding and the colour reproduction was superb without any over-saturation. This is to be expected with any monitor, but unlike most monitors on the market this unit cannot be tilted to compensate for the colour. Should you need to mount the unit higher than eye level you will experience a small amount of colour shift at the top of the screen. However, it should be noted that the panel is fixed to the stand and there are no options that allow you to tilt the screen. The horizontal viewing angle displayed no colour shift, where colours distort or invert, for 170 degrees, and the vertical viewing angle was also excellent at 160 degrees. The Colour and Greyscale tests were equally impressive with no signs of noise or image aberrations and the uniformity tests were flawless. The Geometry and Distortion tests were executed perfectly and the Sharpness and Resolution tests showed no signs of distortion in either the vertical or horizontal axis. DisplayMate has a multitude of test images that are designed to push a monitor to its limits and reveal any inherent flaws. We put the Viewsonic through its paces using DisplayMate Video Edition at a resolution of 1680x1050 pixels. Unfortunately, the independent power supply also means that the USB ports and memory card slots only work when power is attached. The base of the monitor has its own power supply so if the computer is switched off all you need to do is put your iPod in the dock and turn on the power for the base. The best feature about the dock is that it can be used even when your computer is switched off. The iPod dock works well and comes with a number of interchangeable cradles to suit whichever iPod model you own.
In addition to the dock, the stand also has three USB ports along the front of the base and memory card slots on the right hand side, supporting SD, MMC, MS, MS-PRO, SM, CF (types I and II) and Micro Driver memory types. The most striking feature of this model is the integrated iPod Dock. However, when you take the price into consideration, this attractive unit is easily one of the best value-for-money buys on the market. During our testing we found no problems at all when it comes to image quality and were quite impressed in that regard, though the integrated speakers were rather average. An identical panel to the VX2235wm, this unit is set apart by the inclusion of an iPod dock, USB ports and memory card readers which are built-in to the base of the stand. The VX2245wm is a 22in widescreen LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050 pixels.
