ViewSonic VX2776-SMHD Monitor Review
This 27in full HD monitor has an elegant design and great colour accuracy. It isn't aimed gamers - it's for anyone on a budget who wants a large screen for creative work. Here's our ViewSonic VX2776-SMHD review.
No matter the size, there are many IPS LED monitors out there, but few with a borderless display that are only 6.6mm thick. The VX2776-SMHD is a 27in 1920×1080 LED IPS display with a matt finish, with a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz. Here’s our VX2776-SMHD review
Performance
The monitor’s quoted response time on ViewSonic’s website is 4ms, whereas the same monitor on ViewSonic’s global website lists an average GTG of 14ms. We’ve confirmed with ViewSonic Europe that the monitor we received has a quoted 4ms response time.
The monitor comes with flicker free technology, which is a feature that some people will appreciate. If your eyes are sensitive to PWM-LED flicker, then this monitor should help reduce eye strain.
We conducted objective tests through the Spyder5Elite, which resulted in the monitor displaying a maximum brightness of 211.6 cd/m2, which is a little dim versus other monitors we’ve come across. Nevertheless, the monitor’s maximum brightness will still suffice for bright room conditions. We also found its 800:1 contrast ratio a little low for an IPS panel.
The VX2776-SMHD achieved 99 percent of sRGB’s colour space, and 77 percent of Adobe RGB. In comparison to the Philips 246E7QDSW which has a PLS panel (very similar to IPS technology), the Philips was able to score an impressive 85 percent – a number which will appeal more to those who want a better colour gamut range.
Colour accuracy is very impressive though, with a Delta E of 1.14 (lower is better). We found its colours to be accurate, but slightly lacking in saturation. However, through the OSD you can fine-tune the colour temperature and image quality settings to make the colours pop a tad bit more.
Obviously this monitor isn’t aimed at gamers, but given its low quoted response time we felt it was important to mention and test versus other gaming monitors we’ve reviewed.
We fired up CS:GO and found that the monitor was a little slow in its response time. Using the available controls we were able to reduce response time, but this added a lot of ghosting, making any game hard to enjoy. Therefore, we found the monitor to not quite suit the needs of a gamer, especially not for one who plays competitively.
