877837 2010-04-18 22:53:00 I'm after a monitor, predominantly for Excel use - must be height adjustable, and have a reasonably good viewing angle.

I'm a Viewsonic fanboy, so this (www.viewsonic.com.au) was my first thought.

Any suggestions welcome! :thumbs:

877839 2010-04-18 23:29:00 Probably around $300 - $400 . . . I don't need anything too specialized in term of colour gamut or viewing angles; the main issue is an ergonomic once, hence the adjustability - can anyone comment on how easy (or not) the Viewsonic's are to adjust? nofam (9009)
877840 2010-04-19 00:36:00 I have a VX1933W and it's really easy to adjust the angle of the monitor (just tilt it forward or back), it's probably slightly to small for what your after though.

Theres a VX2433WM (24") for $344.80 at ascent. (ascent.co.nz)

Can't comment on it exactly but it looks good (specs etc).

877841 2010-04-19 00:36:00 you could always get a separate monitor stand/arm if you can't find a monitor that suits. Then you could just get any monitor, separate it from its stand and attach it to the good stand. utopian201 (6245)
877842 2010-04-19 00:59:00 I have a pair of VX2433WM's here at work & they're quite nice, but I was a little surprised that they are shorter than my old 1680x1050 screens (2 different ViewSonics) & seem smaller overall as a result. They are wide, though; on Excel 2003 with the default setup I can see cells A1 to AC55 on a new sheet. MushHead (10626)
877843 2010-04-19 01:49:00 I've got a VX2260wm. But, I replaced the stand it was on with a heavier one. And so, it can be adjusted (so it can go up and down), and rotate Speedy Gonzales (78)

We have three of these at work now, real nice
No height adjustment tho, but a couple of reams of paper fixes that

877845 2010-04-19 02:47:00 I got my Viewsonic VX2240w 22" LCD last year from Ascent. Really happy with it.

Good warranty, and fast enough for gaming. I think it cost me around $350.
