VX2257-MHD

I bought this monitor to use as a gaming monitor with my PS4. I mainly play Destiny, in competitive online PVP, so I wanted a fast processing, quality picture to use as a replacement for a 42 inch TV I was using. This monitor is perhaps the best looking monitor I saw in person, and it was not expensive at all. The processing seems to work really well, I never feel like I was a split second behind the guy I was in a battle with, as I did with a TV. I can not speak about the longevity but Viewsonic seems to be a good company. I have the 24 inch version, which I thought would be too small, but I can't even imagine playing on anything bigger now. I put the game on a 55 inch Samsung the other day and it hurt my brain trying to keep up with all the eye space, plus the images looked smeared and super delayed...could be confirmation bias, but to me I can definitely tell a huge difference.

I bought a refurbished (by manufacturer) 22inch from EnterComputers. It came with all the cables and everything looked like new :) but i wish there wasa certificate that proves this was refurbished and inspected by manufacturer. It turns out that the BLACKSTABLIZER is making the screen look bad so you need to tone it down to 5 or 4 or 3, maybe even 0. you need less gammer but you need a graphics controller software to do that if your computer has one (such as AMDor INTEL graphics properties). Your graphics card might have a software for it online if you dont have it installed. Anyway, i reduced gamma to 7.0 since it makes everything cleared but also does something else. you need to make sure the monitor is runningat 60hz because sometimes it runs at 59 hz for example when it should be 60hz to match a 60hz computer. if your computer is 75hz, you need to match it to 75hz for the monitor. I managed to make this monitor about as perfect as my IPS full hd computer HOWEVER one RRREEALY BAD THING I HATE is that this monitor DOES NOT have VERTICLE IPS. I have to angle the monitor alittle downwards to see everything clearly. My IPS computer is clear from most verticle angles... Im giving 5 stars for the shipping by entercomputers and the amazing quality and size. Plus i don twant to give them a bad rating. I have yet to see how long this product lasrs .... hopefully over 5 years lol. the give 90 warranty :( i need at least a year........ Oh the speakers SUCK. The HDMI cable can transfer sound :)

For the most part this monitor is pretty a standard, decent monitor. No real flaws compared to expectations at this price, but nothing really standing out either... With one major exception: Freesync -- As far as I'm aware, this is the least expensive 24" freesync monitor on the market. Which, really, is a pretty big deal. So, given that everything else works like you'd expect, this review will focus almost entirely on that one feature. First, a quick overview of how freesync works, and what it means. Most people looking at this may already understand it fully, so feel free to skip. Basically, a monitor works by pulling displaying a scene a certain, specific number of times a second, on a precisely timed refresh cycle. A video card, on the other hand, works by rendering a scene from top to bottom, then immediately starting on rendering the next scene. The currently rendered information is stored in a buffer, and when the monitor's cycle time rolls around, the current contents of the buffer are sent to the monitor. This process can be a problem if the monitor is timed to receive the buffer right in the middle of a refresh - the top half of the screen will be the next frame, where the bottom will be the prior frame. Especially when there is rapid side-to-side motion, this can cause 'broken' objects, walls, etc. on the screen - commonly referred to as 'screen tearing.' A common fix for screen tearing is 'vsync' - which is, in effect, having multiple buffers; the live buffer that gets rendered data, and the output buffer, which only gets refreshed when the live buffer is completely finished with a rendering. Unfortunately, for various reasons, enabling vsync can have serious performance and input lag impacts, making it often undesirable (admittedly, much of the problem here is software/implementation, but still...). Freesync works by allowing the monitor to vary its refresh rate, so long as the refresh cycle falls within a certain functional range. This monitor has a 48 to 75 hz freesync range - what that means is, as long as each frame is between 1/48th and 1/75th of a second after the prior frame, the monitor will refresh precisely when the next frame is ready, rather than its normal refresh timing cycle. If the framerate drops to 45 fps, or if it goes up to 80 fps, freesync will no longer have any impact. So with all that said, the one reason this monitor doesn't get 5 stars is, 48 to 75 is a pretty weak range. The upper bound I completely understand; at this price point, it would be unreasonable to expect a 144hz refresh rate at all (75 is actually the upper end for the monitor overall). However, I'd have really preferred to see a better lower limit, like 30fps. I strongly prefer higher refresh rates myself, but setting quality high enough to *usually* run at (for example) 60fps will often lead to occasional slowdowns, and slowing down to 30fps occasionally is still a pretty good experience - unless when that happens, you suddenly have glaringly obvious tearing alongside the slowdown. Having said that, it's fairly straightforward to keep refreshes within this range - The AMD driver suite has the option to frame limit, so just setting a universal 75hz frame limit accomplishes the high end - then for the low end, simply make sure your game is set to quality settings appropriate to your video card in order to ensure it can almost always break 48fps. In theory, you could also go ahead and enable vsync; since the monitor will alter its refresh rate to match the buffer, vsync *SHOULD* have minimal performance impact while in the vsync range -- but I think it's a bad idea, since the objective of enabling vsync would be to fix tearing when framerate dropped below 48fps ... and since that would only happen when outside of the freesync range, performance *would* be impacted, right when performance is already at its worst. Bad combo :) So to take all that semi-technical info and put it into context of actual games: PROS- -No more screen tearing! (usually, within certain contexts) -Very affordable! -Darn good entry level monitor in general besides CONS- -75hz upper boundary on refresh may not be desirable, especially if you play twitch multiplayer games -48hz lower boundary means you'll need to be a bit more attentive to video rendering quality settings, or lose freesync effectiveness when you get slowdown So if you ****HATE**** screen tearing, but also ****HATE**** the input lag usually associated with vsync, and if you don't really play a lot of twitchy/mp gaming, this can be a great solution for a really affordable price. If you really love the higher refresh rates seen on other monitors, this probably isn't the best choice, but all the options to fill that need are a noticeable price increase over this option.

I got this as a birthday gift for my wife. I upgraded her from a laptop to a desktop system. She plays world of war craft and this does a splendid job of displaying. Refresh rate is acceptable for price range. The picture quality is great and good menu options to customize the screen for each user. You can use HDMI or VGA. I have used both and have noticed no difference between the picture quality or refresh rate. The speakers are not that great. You are better off to buy a plug and play set of speakers to accompany the monitor. I researched monitors for a good week or two and decided on this one based on other reviews, price and what it was intended for. If you are looking for a decent priced entry level monitor for a gaming desktop that provides good deep color with a great refresh rate I would go with this monitor.

I spent a couple weeks looking through various monitors before finally deciding on these. I've included images from my previous setup of a 24" LG LED and 2 LG 22" LEDs versus 2 27" ViewSonic VX2757-MHDs. This review will be lengthy so I will include a TL;DR at the bottom. I am an avid gamer and also do instructional design work that requires quite a bit of time working at home. My games include Fallout 4, Witcher 3, any Civilization I can find, Dragon Age, the Mass Effect trilogy, and several other graphics heavy games. Instructional design requires quite a bit of work with photos and images as well as needing to be precise in layouts and contrasts. I demand quite a bit from my rig and needed to upgrade the monitors to match. Compared to my previous setup, I couldn't be more pleased in my choice of these monitors, even having them for only 10 hours at the time of this post. I have my primary connected via display port in order to take advantage of AMD's FreeSync and have seen a huge improvement in my gaming. I will post my rig's specs below. Witcher plays on Ultra graphics with absolutely no lag even when surrounded by enemies in a big fight. I used to suffer from screen tearing but that is now a thing of the past. Running Fallout 4 is like having a brand new game, especially during the night when the black stabilization kicks in and lets me see into the shadows far better than I had been able to before. For anyone looking for their first FreeSync capable monitor, I would HUGELY recommend picking this up. For non-gaming, the monitor has also been a big step up in design and general entertainment. I am currently watching Ender's Game while I type this out and can't believe that the image I am watching is better than the 60" Vizio 1080p I have out in the living room. Colors are rich and clear, no ghosting to speak of even in the most hectic sequences, and paired with AMD's Radeon cinema settings there is no comparison for movie watching. I have also connected both monitors to my work laptop (do not ask for specs, it is shameful) with outstanding results. The company I write for uses 80" displays in our classrooms and having these two monitors allows me to truly understand what our students will see when my training is presented to them. I have spent time with both PowerPoint (c'mon, you know it is the lifeblood of corporations) and Articulate Storyline on these monitors and have a hard time knowing I will have to be back in the office on Monday using far worse equipment. The setup of these monitors was extremely easy. Packaging is well thought out and there was none of the tugging and pulling to remove the monitors from their packaging that we have all experienced in the past. This is a 27" monitor so there is a little wobble on them if you are pounding down on your desk but this should be expected. If you don't want the wobble, spend a bit more and get a secured mount. Once I had these cabled up, one with display port the other HDMI, both monitors were immediately recognized and the picture was washed out. Basic brightness and contrast are set extremely high when they come out of the box, press a couple buttons and you will have that taken care of quick. As a couple other comments have stated, the buttons are located on the rear of the display on the lower right corner. They are a slight pain to deal with but you will get through it. Within 20 minutes I had both the monitors' settings and my graphics card settings done and perfect images on both. TL;DR Buy these monitors, period. Without going to the $400+ range for displays, you will not find a better mix of response and quality. I will update in a few weeks after more time spent.

Super-fast delivery - was a tear in the package where the shipping did a number on a open type area of the package however all was well inside due to the interior care taken in securing the monitor. Excellent monitor as well and look forward to using it for a long while with a variety of connections. I didn't get a dp/dvi connector can't recall if I was supposed to but all is well I had ordered a port for various connections so was able to use hdmi with laptop and desktop. Not a glossy style screen more matte in style though I prefer glossy this one has a great pic and am very satisfied with my purchase on all aspects of ordering to receiving and the wow moment of seeing it start up and show itself off :) Highly recommend for all types and prices are awesome for the great quality & size!

I don't write many reviews, but after seeing some negative reviews for this monitor I just had to chime in. This monitor wasn't too much of an upgrade for me. I had an ASUS 24" 1080p 75Hz monitor for a couple years that still looks and works great. My vision isn't the best and I found myself moving the ASUS monitor closer and closer to my face. I didn't want to use a lower resolution or increase the font size in Windows. A bigger monitor was the answer. I'm very impressed with the performance. I didn't expect to notice such a difference from my old monitor. The display is nice and crisp, colors look fantastic, and the fast response/FreeSync is very noticeable in games. It did take some tweaking in the menu & AMD drivers to get it right (including FreeSync). I'm pretty sure this alone is the reason for most of the negative reviews. The menu buttons positioning didn't bother me too much, though I did find it frustrating to press the buttons. Seems like I have to press the button twice for every other entry. Luckily you don't have to use it too often. The stand did seem a little flimsy so I didn't even bother. I mounted it to my desk arm that's clamped to my desk. Gives me some extra height so I can manipulate the position as necessary. Hard to beat this monitor for this price, especially if you have an AMD card that supports FreeSync.

I purchased the 22 inch version of this monitor two years ago as a second monitor and to future proof for a DisplayPort graphics card. The monitor looked crisper and sharper than my other HDMI monitor already, but the eventual Display Port upgrade made it look fantastic. Given the picture and quality of the 22 inch, I researched and decided on ViewSonic again for the larger 24 inch screen. The only downside of this monitor is the 75Hz limitation vs 144Hz. However, I do not push much above 75 fps with my current set up, and opted to save some cash. Definitely are more powerful monitors out there, but for those who want DP, HDMI, and 75Hz, this is your winner.

A casi un año de haberla comprado, muy buena pantalla, excelente tamaño y la calidad de imagen muy buena. Yo la utilizo para la imagen de computadora. Al momento excelente calidad de materiales, sin ninguna falla. Por detrás solo cuenta con una salida hdmi, seria el único 'pero'.

Justo lo que buscaba

プレステ4専用で主にFPSゲームに使うモニタを探してました。 ネットで漁った情報を元に遅延が少ないものを念頭に置きましたが、こちらはカジュアルゲーマーなのでハイスペック機までは望みません。 そんな自分がビューソニックの2757を購入したのは遅延が1ms（当方実はあまり理解出来てません）というのと、なにやら補正機能が素晴らしそう、価格も安いじゃん（￥20800）の単純な理由です。 今までは液晶テレビでゲームをしてましたが、このモニタに替えてプレイしてみて感じたのは画が精密になり、遠くの敵も照準内に捉えることが出来るようになった事です。 オンラインでの対戦は、ダメージを負いながらも打ち負ける事が少なくなりました。この辺は回線状況（家は光回線、集合住宅）にもよりますが・・・ 我が家にはパソコンが無いので、開封時にモニタの付属追加CDをインストールするなどしての拡張機能？を充分に生かしきれてませんが、 デフォルトの機能メニューで快適にゲームが出来ており、概ね満足しています。 画質設定はいろいろありますが、それぞれの効果の説明が無いので試行錯誤しながらボタンを押しました。 国産家電の説明書に慣れ過ぎでしょうか、少し不満に思います。 FPSモードは２つ選べますが自分の好みに合わなかったので標準モード、反応速度は２番目の拡張を、ブルーライト低減はMAXにしています。 説明書が付いてませんので、必要な方はネットからダウンロードする必要がありますよ。（それでも書かれていない各モードの説明つけてくれぇい！） しかしながら、残像は少し気になりますが以前のテレビに比べて遥かにマシになりました。カジュアルゲーマーの方にはお薦めです。 PS4の本体設定で画面出力をちゃんと変更するのを忘れずに！

Excellent monitor. Delivered quickly and the price is very good.

Ich habe vor kurzem diesen Monitor als Schnäppchen hier auf Amazon erstanden. 159€ für einen 27"- Monitor: Da kann man nicht meckern ! Schnelle Lieferung, genauso schnell aufgebaut. Mit der beigelegten CD/DVD noch ein paar Einstellungen durchprobiert, aber nicht zwingend erforderlich, da der Monitor bereits im Auslieferungszustand ein klasse Bild hat. Von "Blaustich" wie ich es hier schon woanders gelesen habe keine Spur. Klares, schönes Bild. Außerdem waren sogar ein HDMI-Kabel, ein Audio-Kabel, Stromkabel (logo!) , 1 VGA-Kabel und ein Cinch-Adapter beigelegt ! Das sollte erwähnt werden, da ja heutzutage an den Kabeln oft gespart wird. Hier sind sie dabei ! Das herrliche Teilchen hat allerdings leider auch 2 kleine Mankos, die ich nicht verschweigen will und die in anderen Erfahrungsberichten bemängelt wurden: 1. Der Stand könnte besser bzw. stabiler sein. Ist jetzt aber nicht sooo dramatisch. 2. Der Sound ist nunja.... entweder externe Lautprecher nochmal anschließen oder Kopfhörer. Da ich persönlich sowohl mit der Standfestigkeit leben kann als auch mit dem Sound ( ich benutze eh immer Kopfhörer, um meine Frau und Kinder nicht zu belästigen), habe ich da keinen Schmerz mit. Das für mich Wichtigste ist das Bild und das überzeugt ! Außerdem darf man den super Preis nicht vergessen! Wenn man das in Relation setzt, hat man hier ein TOP-Gerät für relativ günstiges Geld. Aus diesen Gründen kann ich die vollen 5 Sterne vergeben ! Übrigens hat Amazon mal wieder schneller geliefert als versprochen - ebenfalls TOP ! :)
