What is a LED monitor?
The term "LED monitor" generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In an LED backlit monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. LED backlights provide the following benefits:

About 50% less power consumption compared to traditional CCFL monitor
10,000,000:1 MEGA Dynamic Contrast Ratio
Mercury-free backlight
Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
Slimmer design
Weight reduction

Save cash and save the planet
With its mercury-free backlight and low energy consumption, the ENERGY STAR® 5.0 certified VA2033-LED saves your electricity bill. The savings of LED can add up to thousands of dollars saved for large install bases, such as big corporate buildings or schools. The savings can be as dramatic as $20,000 in five years*! For estimated savings that would apply to the VA2033-LED, please visit the LED Savings Calculator at ViewSonic.com/tco-led

MEGA dynamic contrast ratio
One of the great features of VA2033-LED is its ability to dim the backlight completely for pure darkness during dark scenes, such as a night shot in a movie. Contrast ratios refer to the ratio of the brightest color to the darkest color. With traditional CCFL backlit displays, contrast ratios are limited to the fluorescent lamp’s ability to dim, in order to reproduce darkness. However, with the LED backlight, each LED has the ability to completely shut-off allowing for a near infinite ratio of black to white contrast. The end result is true blacks that result in greater overall image quality.

Pair it with a ViewSonic or Mac computer
One of the key advantages of the VA2033-LED monitor is its diverse connectivity options, making it flexible to be paired with a PC or a Mac computer. ViewSonic has recently announced a full line of PC products, including PC Minis and All-In-One PCs. Now you can hook up any Viewsonic PC as well as a MacBook® or a Mac Mini to the VA2033-LED and enjoy a full 20" widescreen with LED backlight!

VESA mountable
The VA2033-LED features a 100mm x 100mm VESA® mountable design that allows you to mount it on a monitor stand or on a wall, depending on your specific needs. You can detach the base easily by unscrewing four screws and then mounting the display on its new stand or wall mount.

Eco-mode for up to 35% energy savings*
ViewSonic’s proprietary Eco-mode function comes standard with the VA2033-LED. When you don’t need all of the powerful features the VA2033-LED has to offer, you have the option to reduce the monitor’s brightness, save energy, save the planet and prolong the lamp life. You can select one of the “Optimize” or “Conserve” options and save up to 35% energy. Especially under low ambient light conditions, adjusting the brightness will improve visibility by reducing eye fatigue. Reducing brightness will also prolong the monitor’s lamp life, improving your return on investment.

One of the best pixel performance guarantee and 3-year limited warranty
One of the aspects that makes ViewSonic a market leader in displays is its dedication to quality. ViewSonic is committed to use the highest grade panels and offer one of the best pixel performance policy in the market. We also back our displays with 3-year limited warranty for your peace of mind.

Updated: good choice for a second monitor, September 11, 2011

This review is from: Viewsonic's VA2033-LED 20-Inch Widescreen LED Monitor (Black) (Personal Computers)

I bought this to replace an aging Samsung 19 inch LCD. It's a second monitor on a two monitor setup. The picture is bright and crisp, very useful for office programs, email etc.

However, the image quality is very desaturated. I played with the monitor controls every which way to cure this, but there's no taming it. Images are washed out regardless of what they say about deep blacks etc. in their promo. I can take a image and split it between my monitors and see the difference.

I'm a photographer and have a good eye.

It is inexpensive and does handle mundane tasks very well. However, if you plan to watch movies on your computer or view photos, or edit photos, don't buy this.

** Update: a commenter advised adjusting the gamma settings for this monitor with the video card tools. I opened up the nVidia control panel and was able to bring back the saturation, tweak the brightness and, all in all, make this much better. I still wouldn't recommend... Read more

Great monitor!, August 10, 2011

This review is from: Viewsonic's VA2033-LED 20-Inch Widescreen LED Monitor (Black) (Personal Computers)

I bought this monitor to replace a 20 inch DCLCD LCD monitor that was just two years old (the power supply board burned up). The Viewsonic VA2033-LED is a great monitor. The lighting and color is much better than the LCD was. There's a default setting in the monitor where if a program changes the resolution (which is pretty common with many 3D games) a "resolution notice" will appear on the screen stating that you are not using the recommended resolution. This notice can be turned off by entering the setup menu with the buttons on the front of the monitor.
I recommend this monitor to anyone looking for a 20 inch monitor.

Exceptional Bargain, September 23, 2011

This review is from: Viewsonic's VA2033-LED 20-Inch Widescreen LED Monitor (Black) (Personal Computers)

I bought this from Amazon's daily deal at $89.00!

This is a steal at that or a similar price. The LED instead of the LCD is like a plasma TV compared to an LCD TV. It's very bright and exceptionally clear at the native reolution [1600X900]. Spreadsheets stretch WAY across this thing--it's ideal for Excel, etc.

I turned the brightness down about 25%, along with the contrast, to get the best viewing experience. The gamma and color saturation were fine right out of the box.

I am very pleased with this monitor, and I have had really good experiences with Viewsonic products in the past.
