ViewSonic VX4380-4K 43 Inch Frameless Widescreen IPS 4K Monitor with HDMI USB and DisplayPort

Comment

I bought this from Amazon in the summer of 2018. Great monitor with one exception: The PIP does not support full HD. I originally wanted to run main display from my desktop, and then use PIP for laptop. But it wont work. The maximum PIP size is considerably smaller than 1920x1080 so the monitor scales the laptop input down. The result is a BLURRY DISPLAY. So bear in mind if you think you want to use PIP. I attempted to talk to talk to support about the issue. Several emails were devoting to them denying it. Then a half dozen more just to get them to tell me the max resolution supported by PIP windows. Sad thing is, this could probably be remedied easily with a firmware update. But support showed no interest in fixing it. I have had lots of VS monitors over the years and generally like them. However in this case, I wish I had chosen LG instead.

ViewSonic 43" 4K IPS Monitor / MacPro2013 OK, have received my new monitor, and, I love it. It IS large and exactly what I needed. Using it w my MacPro2013 and all is good. In setting it up, nowhere did I find out that in the area where the power cord inserts, there is a toggle switch to power the unit ON, which I think is the safety switch. It comes on and off based on input from my Macpro per usual fashion. Colors are fantastic. Will eventually purchase a calibrator and set up my monitor, Epson v700 scanner, and Epson 3880 Printer in sync and based on the same profile and print photos like they should be printed. Have had this a week and so far, cannot state anything negative. Will update this IF that occurs or any significant change. Photos are, of course, for overall view, not definitive picture quality. Still clearing desk after installing as due to retinal detachment I am about 20% slower than usual. Sorry for the messiness. Desktop image is from a photographer in the UK. I cannot take credit for it. :)

So far the set up was easy. The picture looks good. But very disappointed no Remote like my HP Envy 32". Without a remote I have to get up to switch my view this is a ridiculous situation for a 43" monitor. This is a bad customer service experience in my mind. If I had know the youtube reviews indicating a remote came with this monitor I would have passed on buying this monitor. Had this included a remote I most likely would have given it a 5 star rating.

Its been a few weeks now and this monitor has met all my needs. I wanted to get my face further from the screen without losing quality or readability. This has accomplished my goals. I sit at a computer many hours a day working and playing. Its been great for games (FPS, high framerates) and great for text, reading, browsing etc. I spend a lot of time at a command line interface so readability on the screen is important to me. The menus are very intuitive (despite a few other reviewers opinions) and it seems like the options I access the most (swapping inputs, modes) have super intuitive shortcuts. If i had one half compliant its that the screen finish is only like half-matte and reflects a bit. Not an issue for me but if you will have a window or permanent light source behind you I could see this being an issue. For the price and feature set, I am very happy. It comes with a high speed HDMI capable of 4k but its sort of short, so if your input source is further away grab another cable.

Setting up this monitor is extremely difficult thanks to unacceptably poor documentation. It ships with a ONE PAGE quick start guide in probably 8 languages. It’s useless. The online documentation is not much better. There’s a USB hub on the monitor…zero documentation. The many complex ports are not clearly labeled and far from intuitive. Downloaded driver software do not install correctly, either. That being said, I was able to reach customer service and talk to a real person twice with mixed results. After frustrating trial and error, the monitor is up and running and is AWESOME and GORGEOUS.

Superb computer display monitor. Well featured, quality HD video, well made, easily installed, and simple to use. The price for the performance is very good. At forty-three (43) inches diagonal it brings my computer operational display into nearly the realm of interactive. I like it a lot!

This is a nice monitor, but will occasionally "go blank" but immediately re-display the screen. May happen once per every day or two. Monitor menu controls (brightness, etc.) hard to reach (placed in a bad position) and not straight forward.

This is a fantastic, I mean fantastic buy. I couldnt believe the price. I purchased the 32 inch monitor since my son needed a second screen for his twitch account. Gave me an excuse to get a bigger monitor. Im not a gamer, Im an author and I am getting on in years, so the larger screen makes it easier on the eyes. The curved screen is a delight over the flat and the picture is perfect. This is a well made product. The base is made of metal and, yes, you can adjust the viewing angle. There are multiple settings to choose from for color temperature and I have not witnessed any bleed around the edges. The screen felt high at first, but as I have grown used to the size, it sits perfectly in front of me. There is a lot of landscape with a 32 and I do have to move my head to focus in on areas of the screen that I hadnt normally. It doesnt bother me, because now I read the fine print without have to make any adjustments to the zoom. The 32 is perfect for youtube and movies and they play cleanly. My wife, kids, family and friends that see this monster all say the same thing. "Wow!" I agree. This screen is a wow. I For my needs, I found the perfect match. This is a great product from ViewSonic and I highly, highly recommend it if you are going to step into the large screen arena.

Great quality, until it begins to have the same issue that others have reported in other reviews. The screen bugs out, displays a bunch of lines, and only a power cycle fixes it. The other issue is that it will randomly go black for a few seconds, seemingly for no reason... Over and over again. The fix seems to be a power cycle as well.
