ViewZ VZ-PVM-I2W3N 23″ IP Public View Monitor, White — Open Box, Bench Tested
What I tested, 6 November 2026
| Powers on | Pass — backlight even, on-screen menu comes up |
| HDMI input | Pass — full-screen gradient, panel lit evenly corner to corner |
| Dead / stuck pixels | None found — checked on full-screen white, black, red, green and blue |
| Built-in 2 MP camera | Pass — live picture, shown on the screen in the photos |
On a public view monitor the camera is the whole point and it is the usual failure point, so I did not take it on trust. Two of the photos show the camera's own live image on the screen with a dated card in front of the lens. The ripple pattern you can see on the screen in those shots is moiré from photographing a screen with a camera — it is not on the panel.
Condition, stated plainly
- Open box. The box was opened and the unit was taken out and tested. It is not sealed and I am not selling it as new.
- The serial-number sticker was peeled off the outside of the box before it reached me. The label on the unit itself is intact and is in the photos — I have the serial recorded and I send it to the buyer when it ships.
- The screen's protective film is still on. The accessories are still in their factory bags.
- Every photo is of this actual unit, shot the day it was tested, front and back. It is a white housing, so if the finish matters to you, look closely at those and ask for more before you buy — I will take whatever angle you want.
What's in the box
Pictured, and all still bagged from the factory:
- The monitor
- Remote control
- Power cord (a standard PC / IEC kettle cord — there is no power brick, the supply is built in)
- Green DC 24V terminal-block plug
- Quick Reference Guide and the IP PVM manual on CD
No stand or mount is included — this is a VESA-mount monitor and it did not come with one. It ships back in its own original box and foam.

The ports are behind a door
Worth knowing before it arrives: every connector lives behind a hinged panel on the back held by two thumbscrews, and the cables exit through a cover along the bottom edge. That is deliberate — it is a public-facing monitor, so nothing is meant to be reachable from the front. There are photos of the panel open with every port visible. The port labels are printed to be read from below, which is why they look upside down in the photo of the monitor lying face down.
