    En el primero de lo que esperamos sean una docena e incluso un centenar de análisis de monitores LCD, les traemos el VX1940w de ViewSonic, un panel de 2ms y 19 pulgadas, concebido para los jugadores. Al imaginarnos nuestra máquina gamer de ensueño es típico describir con lujo de detalles cada uno de los componentes que iría dentro del gabinete: un par de tarjetas de video tope de línea, un procesador overclockeado hasta las nubes, etcétera, pero difícilmente...

    There are a wide range of image quality testing applications and resources available today. One of our current favourites can be found over at Lagom . Detailed tests for everything from colour gradients to gamma calibration and pixel response are included along with a detailed guide to interpreting what you are seeing. With a TN+Film panel, we weren't expecting fireworks from VX1940w in terms of raw visual oomph. Nevertheless, it's about as good as this type of panel... Read more

    By the way, I've mentioned about the DCR technology of this monitor. It adjusts black levels based on screen content - allowing darker black levels and a higher contrast. Read more

    I purchased the VX1940 as a replacement for my previous 19'' Viewsonic of which the PS board failed. I like the widescreen aspect as it allows the viwer to see more on the screen, i.e. for MS Office, games, etc. However, the main drawback to this monitor is the native resolution @ 1680x1050. I am running the monitor at this resolution on DVI however it is very difficult to see words that cannot adjust to the aspect. When playing gmaes, the screen appears too sharp,... Read more
