Hi everyone, I'm Waveguide Terminator.
With the coming of the mining disaster, the price of graphics cards returning to normal, and Intel's independent graphics joining the battle, and the AMD core graphics performance breakthrough is not small, many friends have begun to return to the road of PC games. The rise in graphics card specifications has brought about a simultaneous increase in game resolution and frame rate, which also has higher requirements for monitors. My little friend upstairs recently wanted to match a computer for pure gaming, and I liked my own ViewSonic very much, so I bought the new VX2758-2K-PRO, and the cost performance exploded.
Regarding the monitor, although the little partner is not very knowledgeable, but also knows the truth that you can't buy too badly, ViewSonic is very balanced in all aspects. This VX2758-2K-PRO has 2560x1440 resolution, 170Hz refresh rate, IPS Innolux A+ panel, 100% sRGB color gamut, supports FreeSync technology, HDR10, color depth 10bit, black stabilization and other functions. In the packaging, there are many details, the accessories are slotted and fixed, and the foam box is divided into a large base and a small dot upper cover, which can effectively avoid slipping compared to the design of the upper and lower halves. In addition to the manual and VESA screws, there is a DP cable, a base, and a power cord.
It is worth mentioning that the power supply of this is built-in, so the power cord is only a 1.5-meter C13, and there is no external transformer, blessed are friends who don't like big heads, and this cable is also common to most ATX power supplies below kilowatts.
Compared with models such as 2781, this one is more cost-effective, has been pressed in 3 figures, and the superposition point promotion is expected to be pressed within 900. In contrast, the base cannot be lifted and rotated, but the installation is still very easy, one-button quick disassembly, no need for any tools, hand twisting.
The base supports a certain angle of pitch, which can be adjusted according to your actual desktop situation.
The display is equipped with 3 interfaces, 2 HDMI 2.0 and 1 DP1.4, plus a 3.5mm audio output, and there is no Type-C and USB hub function. For friends who only play games on one or two devices, it will be more expensive to spend money.
The design of the built-in power supply is very practical, and there will be circuits such as driver boards behind the display, which does not add much thickness. However, the 1.5-meter power cord is a bit short and can be solved by plugging.
In terms of the back plate, the standard VESA screw hole can be lifted and rotated through the cantilever, and the wire drawing process is also very good-looking. In pursuit of practical models, naturally there is no arrangement of RGB lights on the back.
In terms of control, there is a five-way joystick on the right back (facing the user), which is very convenient after getting used to it.
It is worth mentioning that there is no protective film on the surface of the display, but some users will tear off the polarizing film outside as protection, and a label is specially attached here.
Serve, turn on. ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO's base is very space-saving and stable, and other things can be placed underneath. The triangle space in the middle I think is very suitable for small items such as USB flash drives that are easy to find.
Because the screen photography will be affected by the shooting angle, reflection and other factors, and inevitably there will be some moiré lines, for reference only, does not represent the actual perception. In terms of color, the VX2758-2K-PRO is still very accurate and looks quite comfortable. The viewing angle of the IPS screen is very good, so I will skip it here.
Here use the color calibration test to see the specific quality of the screen, after all, the naked eye is affected by many other factors. The measured color gamut is 100% sRGB and 96% P3, which meets the nominal parameters.
In terms of color accuracy, the Deta E is only 1.08, which is quite good. It is generally believed that the Deta E pressure below 2 is to meet the standard of professional displays, and can be used for productivity purposes such as retouching and video editing.
However, most friends who start with high-brush monitors are definitely coming to play games. With DP1.4 specifications of cables and interfaces, you can open to the full specifications of 2K 170Hz 10bit HDR RGB, and if you use HDMI to connect to game consoles and other devices, it will run on common frequencies such as 120 or 144.
The advantages brought by high refresh rate, especially in FPS, competitive games are obvious, 170Hz compared to 60Hz, can see the enemy about 10ms earlier, the master's move is very deadly. And now the monitors support FreeSync, A card and N card can be used, I haven't seen the picture torn for a long time.
As mentioned earlier, the menu control configuration of this monitor is a five-way joystick, which is still very good to use. After pressing it, enter the menu, press the five operations up and down, left and right corresponding to different functions, and there will be prompts on the screen. There are many menu functions, just use a GIF to take over, in addition to the regular adjustments, I think some of the more useful functions are: 6-axis color fine-tuning, you can fine-tune the tone of 6 colors; Color mode adjustment, you can quickly switch between sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3; Color range adjustment when used on TV; VRR variable refresh rate, PS5, XSX can be used; Resolution settings, in addition to the commonly used 16:9, can be switched to 4:3 and other modes to avoid screen stretching and distortion. It can be seen that the details of ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO are still very comprehensive.
Personally, I think that for FPS users, the black stabilization function is also very practical. To put it simply, it is to avoid some too dark places to see clearly, after all, hiding in the shadows is the safest way for the enemy to hide.
In terms of eye love, the most mature in the industry is still blue light filtering, ViewSonic's VX2758-2K-PRO provides a total of 101 levels of fine-tuning from 0 to 100, and it can be seen that when the blue light filter is turned to the maximum, the degree of yellowing of the picture is not high.
Come to CSGO for a practical fight. Under the premise of similar network conditions, whoever can detect the enemy first will be able to react first. Pistol game and teammates 2V2 punch point, ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO's 170Hz refresh rate advantage is still not small, my kind of rookie chicken as long as I see the person first, the pistol point sticks to the body, basically stable.
Overall, ViewSonic's VX2758-2K-PRO has excellent performance in performance and function, only the base, back RGB lights, USB hub have made trade-offs, and the cost performance has been greatly improved, which is very suitable for users whose main purpose is for games, and it is more than enough for office or productivity.
