    Actually very decent specs for a very decent price. Nice post OP.

    Looks pretty amazing to me. Would be interested to know how it might compare to the LG 27GL850 posted here for 636 a few weeks back.

    At $404 though, looks like a serious bargain.

    • netsurfer on 24/10/2019 - 23:50

      LG 27GL850 has a VESA stand included (height adjustable, pivot (rotate), tilt) with USB 3 hub built in. ViewSonic doesn't (it has VESA mount, but you need to buy your own VESA stand if you want VESA.. otherwise, the included stand only provides tilt support). LG one supports HDR (though, honestly, with 350 cd/m2, it isn't proper HDR - however, it is better than nothing). ViewSonic doesn't bother offering HDR support it seems.

      The 1ms response time on both is more of a gimmick. Don't use it. ViewSonic - out of the two HDMI ports, only 1 is HDMI 2.0 and only that one can support 144Hz. DisplayPort obviously supports 144Hz (cable not included). Unclear whether it is the same for LG. LG - no inbuilt speakers, ViewSonic one does, but I wouldn't expect too much out of those inbuilt speakers.

      I am disappointed with my ViewSonic non-gaming 27 1440p IPS monitor so my view can be biased… It seems that this one has a better IPS panel. Hopefully, the quality control is better.

      • Kevyi on 24/10/2019 - 23:55

        How do you know if the hdmi port supports 2.0? Id assumed that my laptop couldnt output 144hz to my hp25x, however now im second guessing. Guess Ill try the other ports tommorow just in case.

        • netsurfer on 25/10/2019 - 00:09
          +2

          You need to know the GPU (or it if is intel, the actual GPU part). For intel, there is another twist. For NUCs, for example, intel purposely wired the DisplayPort through a bridging chip and make that HDMI 2.0 (to overcome many intel laptop CPUs having HDMI 1.4b - using this trick can deliver HDMI 2.0 via DisplayPort). Most laptop makers don't do the same. So, unless your laptop has nVida or AMD dedicated graphics chip, the chance of the laptop supporting HDMI 2.0 through intel CPU+GPU is low.

          My point on the monitor is that despite ViewSonic provides 2 HDMI ports on that monitor, only 1 is capable of 144Hz, the other one is limited to 75 (or 60 - cannot remember). What's annoying is in one page it says HDMI port 1 is HDMI 2.0 and port 2 is HDMI 1.4, but the specs table has it the other way around. Anyway, if you can use DisplayPort, use that.

        I am also disappointed with the TWO ViewSonic non-gaming 27 1440p IPS monitors we have in the office.. Colours and viewing angles are not good. This panel maybe ok though.

        Call me crazy but i would rather this - ASUS-VG279Q
        No need for a super fast graphics card to achieve 144FPS gaming :)

        On static ice this sells for $448.00.. NOT a crazy bargain or anything at $400

        • Xenocide on 25/10/2019 - 10:04

          Also 1080p as opposed to 1440p

            -1

            @Xenocide: 1440P 144FPS gaming requires a fast graphics card and they cost heaps.. Apart from that whats the point of 144hz when your games wont run faster then 60FPS? 2k and 4k gaming in my experience isn't as good as 1080p 144hz 240hz :)

            • Xenocide on 25/10/2019 - 10:24
              +2

              @vid_ghost: There's no reason to go for a monitor with lower resolution for the same or slightly higher price. Upgrading from 1080p to 1440p is a pretty big upgrade in terms of clarity, speaking from personal experience (got this monitor a few weeks ago). Also, adaptive sync exists for the sole purpose of allowing you to have a smooth gaming experience in situations where you won't be getting >144fps all the time. Besides, the games that benefit from high frame rates are usually not incredibly demanding (eg. CS:GO) and the games where resolution is more important (story/third person games) usually don't require more than 60fps to be enjoyable.

              TL;DR 1440p gives you more options than 1080p

              • vid_ghost on 25/10/2019 - 13:04

                @Xenocide: Ive had 4k and 2k 10bit colour Pro monitors..I find 1080p at 144FPS better then 2k 60FPS..

                Yes CS go and League of legends run at 144FPS with a RX570 at 2k but overall my experience with a RX570 is stick to 1080p for all games

                For those with a RTX2060 or faster card then 2k 144hz would be 100% the way to go for me its not because i hate the heat and power these high end cards draw.

              • netsurfer on 25/10/2019 - 15:52

                @Xenocide: I agree with vid_ghost, for 27 inch, it is not always the higher the resolution the better. The issue here is average or subpar 1440p 27 inch isn't that great, especially for work. If you have good eye sight, then yes. No doubt you get more workspace if you opted for 1:1 mode. Also, when you put 1440p screen in 1080p, no matter how great the interpolation is, it will still not be as clear or as sharp as native 1080p screen.

                If you do get a high quality 27 inch 1440p, then yes - in general, that is better. BUT, the ViewSonic entry level 1440p IPS is not that good. Also, when I compared it to a 27 inch 1080p IPS that is better quality, honestly, I would say for general public, quality 1080p is better than subpar 1440p (especially for older people). They can see the text being larger and that's not always a bad thing. The ViewSonic entry level 1440p also has some issue with older PC during initial boot up / BIOS.

                The issues with low cost ViewSonic 1440p 27 inch monitor: (1) the heavy contrast shift, especially vertically. You do wonder why an IPS would have such a heavy contrast shift and at times with weird pattern when viewed off angle (2) the general panel quality - it is hard to describe this, it's either the mask used and it just feels the pixels can be uneven.

                This is not about resolution to use. This is about low quality 27 inch 1440p not delivering a good enough experience which resulted in a disappointing experience.

                TL;DR ViewSonic 27 inch 1440p monitors, the cheap ones are cheap for a reason. If you have exposure to quality 27 inch 1440p, you will notice a clear gap in quality and makes the overall 1440p experience not so stellar.

                • Xenocide on 26/10/2019 - 18:30

                  @netsurfer: The Viewsonic uses the same panel as the Gigabyte Aorus AD27QD (Innolux M270KCJ-K7B), which has not been shown to exhibit any noticeable contrast shift and is considered a high quality panel judging by the numerous good reviews it has received. Yes, there are differences between the two monitors due to manufacturer firmware and such, but I find it hard to believe that it would affect the quality of the panel in such a large way.

                  I don't see where you are coming from in regards to the subpar quality of the panel.

      • jasswolf on 25/10/2019 - 10:14

        In this case, the 1ms MPRT is not so much a gimmick as it is a black frame insertion feature to improve motion blur by tricking your eyes into thinking the image is less persistent, but lowers perceived brightness and introduces flicker. YMMV.

        The panel is a recent Innolux one, which is apparently below average in response time for a 144Hz IPS, while the LG is extremely fast, the point of there being a QHD 240Hz option coming in the next 6-9 months.

        The upside of the Innolux is colour reproduction is generous for an IPS, but I'd be hesitant to recommend this as a gaming monitor. We should see more QHD 144Hz monitors moving into this $350-$450 range soon enough.

    • bruc3 on 25/10/2019 - 09:36

      I have this Viewsonic, and think it looks great and performs very well. Quite surprised how good it is for the price.

      But I don't have the LG to compare to.

      Same, I was contemplating on getting this as it was getting praises on Reddit (will end up just ~$330 if you got the gift card deal).

      But then the Dell sale came up. Got the S3220DGF and I'm very happy with it especially at that price. Build quality, colour and an excellent warranty. Thought I wouldn't like a curved monitor but I was wrong. The size is just perfect for my desk at about 60cm distance between me and the monitor.

        It was during the dell sale, (Dell's Website) came to $630 and using shopback cash back (12%) brought it down to about $550.
