Very few LCD monitors available today can be tagged as meant for graphics professionals only, but the Viewsonic VP2250wb is one such LCD. It belongs to the new Pro series which can display way better color gamut than a normal LCD display.

This LCD has got a black matte finish which looks refreshingly better than all the glossy panels that have started to pour in the market lately. The ergonomics are decent; the power key alongside the navigation and selection keys is placed on the front. But sadly the USB ports, DVI and D-sub ports, all are placed on the back.

Much to our liking this LCD comes with height, pivot and even swivel adjustment. I particularly liked its stand; it is the sturdiest that I have seen till date. But what I didn't like is the absence of HDMI and also the fact that its resolution is just limited to 1680 x 1050 pixels.

To check its performance we did run our regular benchmarks on it and it performed excellently in all of them. It cleared all of the Displaymate benchmark tests. Even in the color regeneration error, where every LCD shows troubles, this one showed minimum error. Its performance in games and videos was also superb.

Overall performance was nothing short of stellar, but it is just not worth its price. At a price of under 30k, one can go for the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA which comes with the same features and has an IPS panel that is way better than the TN+ panel on the Viewsonic for professionals.
