Fantastic image quality, VESA compatible and the sound quality from the 3.5mm jack is great. Many of the other reviews have already commented on the great picture quality of the display and the VESA support. I feel like the audio output of the monitor hasnt been mentioned much. The onboard audio for my motherboard has a noticeable static to it, especially when moving my mouse. I tried my LG 4ks monitor audio output and it also had some static and limited to 48khz. This monitors audio output from the 3.5mm jack has 0 static and does 24 bit and 192khz. Thats really impressive from something I doubt many people plan on using. The audio quality is better than any other monitor Ive used.

Good monitors. Right out of the box, the picture was good. I had to adjust a couple things for it to produce colors the way I like (I like more vivid.) Text shows up nice and clear, HD videos are brilliant. Attached are some pictures, one of them to show the bezels side by side for multi-monitor setup.

I work in live music production and this monitor is really hard to beat for the price. Its survived thousands of miles inside a pelican case and fires up every day without issue. Im using an arm and not the included base so I cant comment on it. That said this thing gets quite a few comments from the peanut gallery at every show and the overall picture quality is great. My monitor in the studio costs twice as much, slightly larger at 34" but I dont miss it. Its really tough to beat this one for the price..

Update: The color problems I was experiencing were related to the default drivers for this monitor being incorrectly configured. Even the drivers on the ViewSonic site are incorrectly configured. This monitor was using RGB Limited mode by default, even after resetting to default using the monitors OSD. This can be fixed inside Nvidia/AMD/Intel Control Panel software. Nvidia Control Panel: Under Change resolution, set output dynamic range from limited to full AMD Control Panel: Under Pixel format, set from Limited RGB to Full RGB. Intel Control Panel: Under Quantization range, set to Full Range. Original review: If you just want a cheap monitor and price is more important than color accuracy then this is a definite buy for you. This monitor is IPS but not a good IPS. They advertise "ultra-wide" viewing angles but the viewing angles actually very narrow. So narrow that you must be sitting directly in front of the monitor and at least 3-4 feet from the monitor. Also, color accuracy is poor and colors are washed out, especially yellows, oranges, and some reds. Last but not least this monitor has horribly bright blacks.

For my pretty basic needs, this is a really nice monitor at the right price point. I was still using an old 20" HP monitor that dated back to approx 2010, so anything was probably going to be a step up. Not sure if I got a dud, but the stand was really bad. Easy to assemble, but the bottom left side of the monitor sagged and, no matter what I tried, it wasnt level. This was would have, over time, driven me insane. In the long run, I probably would have bought a better mount, but this accelerated it, so my total cost was the cost of the monitor plus $35.

I am really surprised by what a difference this monitor makes with my older Dell EPS desktop unit. I used the HDMI output from the Dell into this monitor. It is much sharper and somewhat brighter that the Dell 17" that I had before - and now use as monitor #2. And that is after adjusting the brightness / contrast / etc on the new monitor. I do not do games, so I cant comment on that - but for internet surfing, excel / word and other apps, it works like a charm. The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is that the unit did not come with any user manual and the video adjustment buttons are on the bottom of the screen section and poorly marked. Once you get them set, though, you will probably never touch them again, so this is more of an inconvenience than a problem. For the price, hard to beat.

This was to be a second monitor to go with the ViewSonic VA2702w I purchased in 2010, that still looks great and works fine. The newer monitor is not near the quality of the older monitor. The display looks as though you are viewing it through a thin film of slightly white plastic sheeting. Tried to adjust it without success, still no comparison to the older monitor sitting side by side with the same picture displayed. I moved it to another computer at work, the duller display is not noticeable as a stand alone monitor. But side by side the old monitor has brighter colors and crisper picture and the newer monitor could not be adjusted to match. The speakers are absolutely horrible, I did not intend to use them but tried them out, they have a tinny sound like I remember the handheld transistor radios of the 1970s sounded like.

I wanted to love this monitor--but its killing my eyes & I struggle to read the grayscale--not black--text. The screen is very bright, which you wouldnt think is a problem, but it is. I called the company & a ttech instructed me on how to change the settings. He said that once the brightness was reduced, the text should be fine. Not so. I was able to reduce the brightness, but it still hurts my eyes. Reducing it further makes the screen look muddy, so not an improvement. And, the text is still not black. On apps that have some things written in grey, the text almost disappears. I tried to see if I could adjust to it, but no, I cant. And thats too bad because the monitor does have some good points. The size (28") is perfect for me and the color is amazing. Really, the best Ive seen. Unfortunately, I didnt get this monitor to look at photos--I got it t, primarily, to read text. Heres the thing, if you have great eyes--which I do not--the less than black, not quite sharp, text may not bother you at all. And maybe the odd brightness wont make your eyes sore like it does mine. For me, its a not go. Fortunately, Amazon is allowing me to return it.

With this large of a monitor, I can see individual pixels, which actually does make words look a little fuzzy sometimes. I do sit close to it, so a 2K monitor would have been a better choice. Overall, when they work, its a pretty decent monitor. I also had a vertical zig zag line appear within 4 months. With the 3 year warranty, I thought I could get this resolved quickly, but no. I would need to package and ship the monitor to them at MY COST to their LONE warranty center, and they are also not responsible for any shipping damage. Who knows how long I would be without a monitor as well? So good luck if you ever need warranty!

Monitor not recognized by 2 different desktop PCs (a brand new Dell XPS running Windows 10 Pro and an older system running Windows 7 Pro) after multiple attempts to load drivers. Image slightly blurry / soft and the coloring was off despite my best efforts to tweak settings via both the monitor itself and the OS. Gave me a headache. (My old HP 2311x monitor works perfectly on both systems.) ViewSonic tech support said it was my display adapter - its not, that works perfectly with other monitors. Dell tech support had no answers, and told me "Just use your old monitor." Sadly, that is what I must do for now. Research on forums revealed that ViewSonics dont always play nice with Windows 10. This one didnt like Windows 7 either though. Perhaps I just got a defective item. Sent for refund. Disappointed as I have had good luck with ViewSonics in the past. Also - FYI - this product only comes with a VGA cable. I did like the stand though.
