ViewSonic VP2468_H2 PRO 24" Dual Pack Head-Only 1080p Monitors with 100% sRGB Rec709 14-bit 3D LUT for Photography and Graphic Design

Great monitors for the money! As a graphic artist who has to match Pantone colors all day long (Im in the sign industry), its very close to color-correct calibration right out of the box, as verified with my Eye One Pro colorimeter. Just one issue though, who in the world thought it would be a good idea to put the power button on the back end of the monitor??? I use two monitors against a wall and have to do some contortionists moves to get my hand under the monitor to get to the power button! This may not be an issue for those who turn their machines off when they are done for the day, but I leave my machine on when printing large jobs to my Roland vinyl printer (which can take a couple hours to finish), and having the monitors on when I leave for the day while the printer prints a job is just a waste of electricicy, and more importantly, just puts more stress on the monitors sitting in a warm office while the screen saver runs pointlessly! I took one star off for that button, otherwise, its a great, precise monitor! I would have taken another star off too for the onscreen setting menu, as those buttons are also on the back and a pain to remember which of the five buttons does what function, but after a dozen other monitors in the last 2 decades of being a graphic artist, Ive never found one to be much easier to use, so ViewSonic gets a pass for that.

Neither of the two cables supplied worked with either of my computers, even though both had connections that match at least one of the cables. I have NO idea why. Fortunately, the reviews here gave me hope, since others had similar experiences that turned out OK. I dug out an HDMI cable I wasnt using anymore, and that worked just fine. So be sure you have one before buying this, and dont expect any help from the print docs or DVD it comes with, the ViewSonic website, or its customer support if you need it. The drivers I downloaded didnt install properly either, but it turned out I didnt need them. Honestly I dont know why they bothered with the print stuff at all. It was useless. Even the drawings didnt make sense. I guess instructions are a lost art.

First and foremost, I’d like to point out that I am not a photographer, nor a video editor or some kind of professional who absolutely needed a color accurate, professionally calibrated monitor. I simply wanted a 32in monitor that had a beautiful IPS Panel , with slim bezels and a decent stand. That’s exactly what I received but this monitor is not perfect. Details below: Cons: Price: This is marketed as a professional monitor, so I guess the price is rather reasonable. However, my monitor has a few issues that it should not have for the over $800 price range. Dead Pixel(s): As soon as I got the monitor, I ran several quality control/screen consistency tests and I quickly discovered a dead pixel. The pixels are so tiny, I think the dead pixel might actually be two pixels very close together. The dead pixels were not a big deal as I NEVER notice them, so I didn’t send it back or contact Viewsonic about it. Screen Black- Out Issue: A few times a week, the screen will black out for 2-3 seconds. This issue is infrequent enough for me to tolerate it but it is one that has popped up in several forums online. Mounting: There is NO VESA Mounting holes on this monitor of any sort..so youre pretty much stuck with the stand that comes with it. :-( Pros: BEAUTIFUL IPS screen. The colors on this thing are vivid and punchy, despite the matte coating - which is very light and clear but excellent at avoiding light reflections. 4K resolution on this sized screen is perfect, EVERYTHING IS SHARP. Sexy Design: I’d challenge you to find a 32inch 4K monitor with smaller bezels, a nicer stand and an overall sexier design. The tiny bezels make playing pc games or watching 4K content a wonderful and at times a breathtaking experience! Options: LOTS of picture options for professionals, general media consumers and any and all others in between! Summary: Overall, I think that this monitor is excellent and I do not regret the purchase whatsoever. Is this monitor worth the price? I imagine it might be if you’re a professional who can use it for all its worth. If you’re a simple person who wants a 4K monitor for web browsing and medium consumption, you can save $350 dollars and get another 4K monitors at half the price.
