Cons

  • The industrial design is nothing special and screams
  • The stand base is a large forked foot

  • awful lot of pixels for your computer to work with
  • slower on the 4K ramp-up

  • the API implementations are a little wonky

There’s no two ways about it, the ViewSonic VP2780-4K is something of a bargain by the standards of professional monitors. It’s still not cheap, but this 27in monitor packs in absolutely everything you could reasonably expect for
