ViewSonic VX2276-SMHD 22" Black/Silver 2016
The ultra-slim 6.6mm profile and frameless IPS panel provide a clean, modern aesthetic with consistent colors from wide 178-degree viewing angles. Its flexible connectivity, including HDMI, DisplayPort, and legacy VGA, pairs with flicker-free technology and a blue light filter for comfortable extended use. This monitor is best for office workers and home users needing a space-saving, multi-monitor-ready display for documents and web browsing, not gaming.
