ViewSonic's latest monitor is reasonably priced and its energy-saving LED backlight can help cut running costs, but does it also have good image quality? Read our review to find out.

No dead pixels No defects after 1 year of heavy use Great colour and clarity Light weight Looks good Overall - no complaints.

Viewsonic screens are relatively an unknown subject for me. This is why, as we don't have too much access at these screens, every time we am asked to review such a monitor, we can not refuse. Take, for instance, ViewSonic VX2250WM-LED: it is one of the newest monitors released on the market.

A 22in LED display that is claimed to "save on your energy bill," the ViewSonic VX2250 LCD monitor has a relatively low price tag. A Full HD resolution, its LED backlighting and decent image quality are impressive, but the lack of an HDMI input may be a deal breaker.

Attractive design; good image quality; intuitive on-screen display; decent value

No HDMI port; limited stand adjustability; poor vertical viewing angles

I tried 2 of these VX2250wm monitors and both were fuzzy and had slight discolorations. They both had phase, frequency and size problems. The auto-adjust doesn't clear up the screen image. All of its screen resolutions are blurry.

None; I wasted my time with two of these models

Fuzzy, blurry, slight discolorations; phase, frequency and size problems

The sub-£150 LCD monitors sector has been receiving plenty of new blood in recent months. The 21.5in ViewSonic VX2250wm takes most of the best bits from what's already there, and melds them into a quietly impressive little screen.

Good image quality, but the design isn't particularly attractive and it costs a little more than the competition.
