Question 1

Is this a square screen or wide screen monitor?

Accepted Answer

This is a wide screen monitor. It is somewhere in the area of 12-14" tall and about 18" wide (the whole screen not just the view-able area)

Question 2

Is this a square screen or wide screen monitor?

Accepted Answer

Hello As the product description suggests the monitor is Widescreen. I am using as a second monitor for a few months and it has been flawless.  Good for the $$$

Question 3

What is the height without the stand (or if that is difficult to figure out then what is the distance between the bottom edge of the monitor and your desk)?

Accepted Answer

From the bottom of the monitor to the desk is 2 7/8"

Question 4

Can this monitor be turned on its side? i.e.-used for better viewing a word document.

Accepted Answer

Any monitor you choose can be put any direction, you just need to go into (for Windows 7) >> Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution

then select the monitor you want to change orientation on and set the orientation to portrait or portrait flipped.

You will however, have to get a versa mount of some kind; the default stand on this unit is a static mount

Question 5

Does this monitor include a DVI compatible input?

Accepted Answer

I should have looked at the pictures before I asked the question. I have an adapter VGA-DVI however my internal Blu-Ray drive requires a digital connection for playback so an adapter will not do the trick. Will browse more. Shame too, Viewsonic makes great monitors.

Question 6

will this work with a Mac Mini?

Accepted Answer

Yes - that's what I use it with - don't be discouraged if it doesn't light up right away. Sometimes I have to restart or powermdown and up againt to get it to light up. Be sure you install the driver. You can download it from the Viewsonic site.

Question 7

Does this monitor have the ability to tilt at different angles or is it fixed?

Accepted Answer

It tilts

Question 8

what sort of adapter do I need to hook this up to an imac 9.1? thanks

Accepted Answer

As a secondary monitor you will need to purchase a VGA to USB adapter (http://www.newegg.com/USB-Display-Adapters/SubCategory/ID-3046). As long as you have a fairly current OS running you should be good to go.

Question 9

how to attach the little stand to the monitor?

Accepted Answer

Slides right into a slot in the back with a screw in the base to the upright. Very easy to assemble.

Question 10

can monitor be transparent?

Accepted Answer

If you mean can you see through the monitor when it is turned off, the answer is by all means no. It is encased in black plastic.
