Almost all TFT displays nowadays are in 16:9 format with HDMI connector that goes hand-in-hand with popularization of HD video standard. ViewSonic went a step further and thanks to resolution of 1920x1080 packed in reasonable sized panel, we can now enjoy in HD resolution instead enjoyment in just HD format. Design is for today standards usual. Piano finish that was considered few years ago as very elegant solution, nowadays is so common that it becomes boring. Power button is lighted with intensive blue light that cannot be disabled and this can become very distracting element in a dark room. OSD menu has a lot of useful options so its "retro" look can be forgiven.
