ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD Monitor Review

The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has a good design overall. It has a fairly basic design, but it's decently well-built and has a solid stand that supports the monitor well. Unfortunately, the stand has a very limited range of motion, though, so it might be difficult to place it in an ideal viewing position.

The base of the stand has a small footprint, but supports the monitor well, with only a bit of wobble.

Unfortunately, the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP has a limited range of motion, so it might be difficult to place it in an ideal viewing position.

The back of the monitor is plain, and there's no cable management. The stand has a quick-release, and it can be VESA mounted, which is great.

Very thin borders on three sides, great for a multi-monitor setup.

The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has a decent overall build quality. The back panels have a nice textured finish, but the plastic feels cheap. The stand supports the monitor well, but there's a bit of wobble, which can be distracting.

Like most IPS monitors, the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has a low contrast ratio. This results in blacks that look gray, but this is mainly noticeable in a dark room.

The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD doesn't have a local dimming feature. The video is provided for reference only.

Great peak brightness. The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD can easily overcome glare in almost any room.

This monitor doesn't support HDR.

Like most IPS monitors, the image remains accurate when viewed from the sides. This also helps to ensure an accurate image at the sides of the screen when you're sitting close to the screen.

Like most IPS monitors, the image remains accurate when viewed from above or below. This is great if you often share your screen with someone standing beside you, or if you're planning to mount the screen on the wall.

The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has outstanding gray uniformity. The sides of the screen are slightly darker than the rest, and there are a few darker areas on our model, but these aren't very noticeable with most content.

The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has decent overall black uniformity, and it's actually among the best we've seen on a monitor, with very little clouding in dark scenes.

Out of the box, this monitor has decent accuracy. Most scenes are displayed at the correct brightness levels, which is great, but there are some noticeable inaccuracies in all colors and shades of gray. This is good if you enjoy saturated colors, but isn't good if you rely on accurate colors.

After calibration, the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has outstanding accuracy, with no noticeable inaccuracies in any colors or shades of gray.

There are no signs of temporary image retention on this monitor, even immediately after displaying our high-contrast, static test image for 10 minutes.

According to ViewSonic, this monitor can display 10-bit color, but we were unable to get it to display a 10-bit signal. There are other reports of the same issue with this model.

The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has excellent gradient handling. There's very little banding in areas of similar color.

Like the Pixio PX7 Prime, there are some signs of vertical color bleed. This shouldn't be very noticeable for most users, though.

The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has good reflection handling, slightly better than the Pixio PX7 Prime, and similar to the ASUS PG279QZ. Combined with the great SDR Peak Brightness, glare shouldn't be an issue for most people.

This monitor has an excellent response time, resulting in very clear motion, with only a short blur trail behind fast-moving objects when the level of overdrive is set to 'Advanced'. The 'Ultra Fast' setting has a significantly shorter blur trail, but there's noticeable overshoot behind fast-moving objects and color fringing around moving objects, suggesting that different colors have different response times.

At lower backlight settings, there's flicker in the backlight, but it's at an extremely high frequency that isn't noticeable.

This monitor has an optional black frame insertion feature, known as '1ms mode'. Enabling this feature reduces the amount of persistence blur behind fast-moving objects, but also causes a noticeable tripling effect.

This monitor has an excellent refresh rate, and it supports AMD's FreeSync variable refresh rate technology, for a nearly tear-free gaming experience. Although not officially supported, it also works when connected to a recent NVIDIA G-SYNC graphics card over DisplayPort.

This monitor has outstanding low input lag, great for gaming. Even when gaming on a console limited to 60Hz, the input lag due to processing is extremely low.

The 27", 1440p screen is great for multitasking, and makes it easier to see more fine details in your favorite games.

Update 12/23/2019: The DisplayPort connection was incorrectly listed as 1.4. It is in fact a DisplayPort 1.2 port.

This monitor has very few additional features. There are no gaming-oriented features, and it doesn't support HDR.

The control scheme isn't as intuitive as the joystick controls found on most LG monitors and the Pixio PX7 Prime.
