Viewsonic VP201mb
Similar to the BenQ, Viewsonic has a very large black bezel, more reminiscent of the older-style LCD panels than the new slimline bezel units. There is also the bonus of integrated multimedia speakers.
The Viewsonic has the ability to switch between landscape and portrait views and the base is well designed giving a good range of movement; the only movement that could be improved is the height adjustment.
The brightness and contrast don't need to be set to maximum to achieve a good image, therefore allowing further adjustment in both directions should it be required. The contrast is good, however all the colours tend to bleed into each other towards the top end of the scale. Fast video playback was good with good depth of field.
In summary, the Viewsonic seems to lack some of the finer details that one would expect a monitor of this type to have. If your organisation is looking for an all-round decent monitor that has the ability to rotate the screen from landscape to portrait and includes multimedia speakers, then the Viewsonic may be worth evaluating.

Did you even review these montiors? How you could get such a fundamental thing wrong is beyond me.
