Reason for purchase
In recent years, with the entry of domestic brands, the display market can be described as more and more volume, the noble 2K and 4K displays in the past, now only need a very low price to start, as low as unimaginable. I bought a new workbench in my parents' room, but the computer is still using the old one, although this configuration looks OK, but the monitor seems to be a little smaller, and it just so happens that the monitor is so cheap now, I immediately decided to buy myself a new monitor.
In terms of the choice of monitor, combined with performance, price and its own needs, finally fancy the international big brand ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO gaming monitor, which is a 27-inch monitor specially created for gamers, using IPS panel and 2560x1440 resolution, equipped with a high refresh rate of 170Hz, and supports FreeSync compatible with G-Sync, making the game picture smoother and clearer, the real blood e-sports Donkey Kong. The most important thing is his price, only 999 yuan, less than 1000, in the past at this price, want to buy such a configuration, that is absolutely undesirable.
Install out of the box
The package is sent by SF, the packaging of the entire display is very tight, the outermost layer is winding film, then a layer of cardboard wrapping, and finally the outer packaging of the display, at a glance, the safety is very good.
Some basic display information can be seen on the front, and on the back is ViewSonic's iconic Three Birds logo, which occupies most of the layout.
Take out the foam box for protection, the inner part has two layers, the upper layer is the base, cable, instruction manual and other accessories, and the bottom layer is the display body, and the protection work is very well done.
Arrange all accessories, monitor body, pillar and base, 2 cables, power cord and DP cable, warranty card, manual one each, spread a tabletop.
The installation of the monitor is also very convenient, even if you don't read the manual, you can easily get started, use the screws of the base to connect with the pillar, and then hold the pillar with your hand, align the top bayonet with the guide groove on the back of the monitor, click and complete the connection, the whole process can be completed by yourself. At the same time, the small cylinder at the top is a quick-release design that can be easily removed by pressing the snap.
The base and pillars are made of metallic aluminum, the matte exterior surface is full of texture, and the triangular shape has stability, taking into account the beauty and stability to reduce the possibility of the display overturning.
Exterior display
VX2758-2K-PRO adopts an all-black color scheme, and the appearance is simple and atmospheric, which meets the aesthetic requirements of gamers. Its bezel is very narrow, and for multi-screen environments, the spacing between its adjacent two screens can be made very small, which is very user-friendly. The screen base is made of metal, the stability is better, the only regret, may not support the height and angle adjustment, but considering its price within 1000, it is not unacceptable, later spend a hundred pieces with the monitor stand, the effect can be better.
There is also a very eye-catching warning label in the upper right corner, given that there are many smart people who will tear off the polarizing film as a protective film, such an obvious label is still necessary, never underestimate Xiaobai's ability to make mistakes. In the middle is ViewSonic's brand logo, 3 birds, and on the sticker in the lower left corner are some of the selling points of this monitor, which are 170Hz, IPS, ViewMode, Black Limit, Flicker Free, and DisplayHDR.
Looking at the back of the monitor, the most amazing thing about the VX2758-2K-PRO this time is this back design, this clear angular design sense, full of futuristic technology, coincides with the style of e-sports games. The texture of the outer surface is a brushed design, and with its own space gray color scheme, the texture is further enhanced.
In the details, there is a large ViewSonic logo on the back, and the four four edges gradually bulge towards the center, forming a quadrilateral space for hiding the built-in power supply. The middle 4 holes are standard VESA interfaces, which can be used with brackets later if needed. On the lower left side is a five-way lever button for controlling the OSD panel, the paddle is compared to 5, 6 ordinary physical keys, not only easy to operate, but also more concise and clear, after using this lever, I did not press the missed key.
In terms of interface, this VX2758-2K-PRO monitor is equipped with two HDMI ports, a DP port, and an audio interface, it should be noted that subject to the limitations of the HDMI interface itself, only when using a DP cable connection, it can reach a refresh rate of 170Hz.
The setting of the power supply has always been a big problem, many brands of monitors in order to save effort is directly an external adapter, the body looks really thin, but the actual use of the place is uncomfortable. ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO does not have this problem, although the display is built-in, but thanks to the excellent design techniques, the entire back of the monitor does not look bloated, the interface is a universal three-jack, safe and stable, but also save desktop space, kill a lot.
Usage experience
Can't wait to connect the monitor to the computer host, simply tidy up the desktop, sure enough, the 27-inch monitor with my 1.2m workbench is suitable. My desktop originally looked a little empty, but with this monitor, the whole space immediately became very atmospheric.
After booting, it is successfully lit once, and the color logo lights up and officially enters the computer desktop.
ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO monitor focuses on gaming, with 170Hz high brush and 2K resolution as highlights, with a 27-inch IPS panel, and also supports AMD FreeSync technology to eliminate picture stuttering and tearing, which is perfect as a gaming monitor.
Screen performance
The VX2758-2K-PRO adopts Innolux A+'s hard-screen IPS panel, which has better color reproduction and a large viewing angle of 178°, which can present clear, realistic images at any angle without color distortion or shift. In my tests, its color reproduction is excellent, and a wide range of colors remain accurate and clear.
After turning on the black stabilization function, it also performs very well in darker scenes, and can present deep blacks. In addition, the panel has a high brightness of 300nit and a color depth of 10bit, which can make the picture more vivid.
From the grayscale test chart, ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO can clearly see the difference between light and dark of the color block to the gray of the 256 level, but the 256th order is only a small test for VX2758-2K-PRO, after all, his color depth has reached 10bit, that is, 2 to the 10th power, that is, 1024 gray levels. At this stage, many monitors on the market are still 8bit or even "6 shaking 8", and it is rare to be able to buy a display that supports 10bit color depth at this price.
Due to my own work, I personally am more sensitive to the color of the screen, although this is a gaming monitor, let's first test the screen color performance of this ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO monitor, take out my beloved red spider, hang it ~
After anxiously waiting, the test finally came out, you can see that the color gamut of this VX2758-2K-PRO gaming monitor is 100% sRGB, and the DCI-P3 color gamut is about 96%, which is already very good in gaming monitors, and the official values are basically the same.
Let's look at the important color accuracy, if the color gamut represents how much color this display can display, then the color accuracy as the name suggests is your color is accurate, with △E indication, the smaller the color of the display, the more accurate, the general display is almost within 2.5, excellent monitors can do △E<1. The VX2758-2K-PRO's actual △E maximum is 2.62, the minimum value is 0.16, and the average △E is only 0.58, which is quite unexpected.
In terms of tonal response, the measured black curve and the blue luminosity 2.2 curve are basically fitted.
Finally, let's look at brightness and contrast, divide the brightness by percentage, the maximum brightness can reach 383.9nits, which has far exceeded the official 300nits, while testing the contrast ratio under different brightness, you can find that the contrast ratio is basically maintained at 1000:1.
OSD menu
Because the control of the OSD menu adopts a lever design, the operation is simple and easy to use, and when I think of the 5-6 physical buttons of the previous thousand-yuan machine, the OSD menu control of VX2758-2K-PRO is simply enjoyable. The first floor is a shortcut menu that makes it easier to adjust display functions, specifically: main menu, input source, contrast/brightness, and image adjustment.
The main menu on the second floor is a more detailed all-round setting, don't look at this is a thousand-dollar level display, those thousands of large display only have functions, this VX2758-2K-PRO are arranged for you, such as some color temperature, color adjustment, variable refresh rate, advanced dynamic contrast and other settings, these tall functions are rare on this price monitor. In addition, as a gaming monitor, he also prefabricated three game modes of FPS, RTS, and MOBA to adapt to different types of games, which can be described as powerful.
Esports high brush
The 170Hz refresh rate is one of the most important highlights of the VX2758-2K-PRO, which can make the game picture smoother and clearer, thus enhancing the gaming experience. In order to test whether this refresh rate is true, we need to use the Test UFO website and a high-speed camera, take 144Hz as an example, set the block generation speed to 1/144 one, when using the camera to shoot the screen, if the resulting blocks are continuous, it means that this refresh rate has indeed been reached, if there is a gap, it means that there is a frame skipping phenomenon.
One thing to say, the performance of 144Hz is completely in my expectations, after all, it is the main high-brush monitor, we aim for a higher 170Hz, quickly adjust the parameters to 170 frames, the resulting photo appeared 17 consecutive grids, indicating that this monitor is real to 170Hz, there is no false mark.
Gaming experience
In terms of gaming experience, ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO monitor can be said to be very good. First of all, it has a refresh rate of 170Hz, which can make the game picture smoother and clearerIn fast-paced games, users can react and operate faster, improving the game experience. For example, MOBA games such as "League of Legends", as well as FPS games such as "CS:GO" and "pubg", the graphics are very smooth, without any tearing or blurring.
Secondly, the display is also equipped with AMD FreeSync technology, which can achieve synchronous refresh of the picture and reduce the situation of game screen tearing and stuttering. If you are using an AMD graphics card that supports FreeSync, you can clearly feel that the game picture is smoother and more natural. Of course, if you're an NVIDIA graphics card user like me, don't worry, because he's compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync, and you can use the technology to achieve similar results.
In terms of image quality performance, ViewSonic VX2758-2K-PRO adopts a 2K resolution IPS panel, which can present very realistic and clear images. Its color reproduction is very accurate, which can show richer color details and make the game picture more realistic.
In addition, the display is equipped with black compensation and low blue light mode, which can reduce visual fatigue and make users more comfortable for long gaming sessions. I turned on the low blue light mode and played the game for hours, and I could clearly feel that the strain in my eyes was much lower than with other monitors.
