Spatial Uniformity

The uniformity of the colours was quite good. The corners of the display appeared slightly less bright than the rest of the panel, but that wasn't visible to the eye, even if our measurement sensor caught it.

The ViewSonic monitor's colourimetry showed uncommonly good quality. The contrast and colour fidelity were excellent, even with the default adjustments. You won't need 10 years of colourimetry expertise to get the most out of this unit.

Similar Performance

The ViewSonic VX2025wm, thanks to its ClearMotiv 8ms technology, showed performance that was very comparable to a basic accelerated 8 ms MVA panel.

Note the lack of precision between 75 and 125.

Overshoot

The VX2025 also rated a C for the lack of precision of its Overdrive.

In Use

This monitor is usable for office applications as long as you lower the brightness - though this runs the risk of losing a little chromatic quality. You can even use it for photography work due to its very natural default colour rendering. The black level was good, and the images didn't show the exaggerated contrast that you often see with LCD monitors.

As for video games, games were fluid, the colours were pleasant and darker areas showed good detail, but sticklers will undoubtedly notice the chromatic aberrations in transitions between dark colours.

Video Games

The same applies to video: the images were noisy. Video was quite viewable from a slight distance, but the performance was a far cry from what the best 19" monitors can do.

Conclusion

The VX2025wm's performance is exceptional for a 20" monitor. It's a very good product from a maker that is a stalwart in the LCD market.
