Great developer monitor
By AtomSea on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2024
I got this so i can see more code on the screen. Note this is a true 43 inch, not those thin wrap around bs screens. You can put two or more programs side by side quite easily and see quite a bit of the code without scrolling. The great thing about this monitor is the high control of the visual settings -- it's easy on the eyes. Plus having no blue light and such... Resolution is excellent, you just need to optimize it to your machine -- be sure to learn how to do that. Gaming is good too, but it wasn't why I got the machine, and I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I can't give a review of that and be fair, but honestly looks good to me. I can say that the comments about big pixels are just false -- I think they had some kind of setting wrong. Also, you don't need a driver to run the monitor, not sure why other users say that too. Finally, my only complaint are the speakers, they sound like people are in a tin can. Why sell an expensive monitor and not have at least decent sound? At least give us sound controls in the control panel -- if I could have had access to treble and bass, it wouldn't be so bad, but alas. So, do yourself a favor, pick up a low cost soundbar, I got a Saiyin 60 dollar soundbar with sub -- sounds way better than you think (not paid to say that, just trying to help you bro). 5 star coding / work quality monitor -- 4 star for sure gaming, maybe higher, dunno -- but 1 star sound (attention ViewSonic people, you need to team up with Saiyin on the next model -- also not paid to say that, just trying to help)

Cheated color depth with Dithering????
By Peter M Peterson on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025
This is simply the worst color monitor I have ever owned. NOT AN EXAGGERATION. I spent a huge amount of time trying to figure out why images are super grainy and colored text quality is very poor. I realized that ViewSonic SEEMS to be dithering adjacent pixels to synthesize color depth. My GUESS is this monitor has about 6 bits per color of actual per color pixel control, but it could be even lower. A color image looks like the earliest color photos in newspapers. I wish there was a way to turn off the @#&*$ dithering and just live with the 5 or 6 bits of z-axis resolution for CAD and office tools. I bought this monitor a while ago and life happened preventing me from trying it until today, so I won't be returning it. Presumably with this poor quality where they seem to have cheaped out on common electronics, ViewSonic may be a Dead Company Walking. I will never buy or authorize the purchase of any ViewSonic product again. No doubt they will change names at some point, and I will be watching out for that.
