Bad Points: Although ViewSonic VX2245wm ViewDock LCD Monitor is designed with an eye for detail, it also has its Achilles heel when it comes to playing music or movies from iPod. While there are difficulties in using front panel control, connecting the iPod dock with the two AC cables, two audio cables and the USB cable too is confusing to the average user.
What we thought: The Viewsonic VX2245wm ViewDock monitor, LCD display to be the latest high-tech product that enables the user to use iPod in it. The 22-inch wide screen displays an in-built iPod dock at the base making it easy to use the desktop. It is very enticing with its glossy black design.
Although the idea of integrating an iPod dock is really innovative, it’s annoying when you come to know that you can’t listen to music or movies without using iTunes on your computer. It is not simple either as View Dock requires too many cables to make the whole system work. However, the connectivity options, which include good number of USB ports and the eight in one media card reader, impress any onlooker.

Good points: Sony has once again come up with one other of its innovative technology. This new and improved version of the projector, in essence has and does everything one wants to. It has attractive color, astounding gamma and much more.

The projector front sports a grille that masks the intake and outtake vents on either side, and also has a discreet memory stick slot that takes a front spot. The points for power, input, menu access, zoom, and focus are mounted to the side.
Another worthy feature is its lightweight of less than 12 pounds, this makes for a compact body plus the extremely quite fan operation makes it even more attractive.
The port for the Memory stick allows for easy viewing of Memory-stick based digital pictures on the big screen. Another convenience is the Side Shot, which is Sony's name for digital keystone correction, which allows the user to place the projector off-center relative to the screen. The Sony HS20, in addition, has some notable picture-enhancing features as well. Connectivity options on the HS20 are also quite generous.
Color decoder in the HS20 is excellent, exhibiting virtually no red push, and greens also look equally good. This is perhaps the HS20's best suit in picture quality. The unit's less than ideal black-level performance causes color saturation to be a bit washed out.

The hallmark feature of the Sony VPL-VW50 is its 1,920x1,080 (aka 1080p) native resolution, which exposes every detail of 1080i and 1080p sources without the need for scaling.

Undoubtedly, the picture quality is of high resolution, with the Pearl delivering every pixel of a 1080i/p HD source. Its solid contrast ratio is arguably the most important parameter in the display. Sony VPL-VW50 has color decoding that brings out rich, saturated colors on the screen with good clarity.
