• Viewsonic VG2756V-2K Design

  The Viewsonic VG2756V-2K is clearly focused on home and corporate office use and this is reflected in the design. It's as bare-bones as can be, with simple, unobtrusive matte black plastic on both the front and back. Even the cloth that covers the soundbar is matte black. Blends in perfectly with the frame.

  It's a well-built monitor with a thick plastic panel and good material quality on various surfaces. I'd also argue that it's elegant in its own subtle way. The cloth over the speakers is a particularly nice touch.

  ViewSonic has a versatile ergonomic stand that is height adjustable, tilts, swivel, and can rotate 90 degrees (in both directions) for use in portrait orientation. It has a simple, compact, yet sturdy stand with a flat base that reduces its footprint on your desk. That's a great option for any display, but is doubly important for a home office monitor. A 100x100mm VESA mount is included for adding third-party stands or monitor arms.

  A wide range of connectivity can be found on the VG2756V-2K's back panel, including a USB-C port with DisplayPort backup mode and 90 Watts of power delivery. That's the top level of power a modern monitor can deliver. And it will charge many mid-range laptops if connected via USB-C. Acts as a USB-C hub For two additional USB-A ports and even an Ethernet port This is common among USB-C monitors sold under $500.

  The USB-C port is the best way to connect to a monitor. But it does have a USB-B upstream port for connecting a laptop or desktop that doesn't have USB-C, and it supports all of the monitor's features. Includes webcam, microphone, and Ethernet port. Additional video connections are available via HDMI and DisplayPort for a total of three video inputs.

  Menu options are controlled with touch-sensitive buttons built into the touch bar instead of the rear-mounted joysticks found on most competitors. ViewSonic offers a wide range of image quality options. Includes multiple gamma and color temperature presets. and six-axis color calibration

  How is the image quality of the Viewsonic VG2756V-2K?

  The Viewsonic VG2756V-2K has many additional features. But the display panel is basic, an IPS LCD with a resolution of 2560×1440 and a 60Hz refresh rate. Image quality in SDR is okay, but it's clear that this monitor is designed for everyday office productivity. It is not content creation or entertainment.

  ViewSonic Motion Performance VG2756V-2K

  The Viewsonic VG2756V-2K has a 60Hz refresh rate and doesn't include Adaptive Sync support. That's not unusual for office monitors. But it's bad news for gamers. The monitor has significant motion blur that can obscure fast-moving objects, and frame tearing may be visible if the game's V-Sync setting is turned off. An alternative like the NZXT Canvas 27Q is a much better choice for gaming. (Although you must bring your own webcam.)

  Should you buy the Viewsonic VG2756V-2K?

  Viewsonic's VG2756V-2K is a good video conferencing monitor suitable for home office use. Video quality isn't significantly better than other similar monitors, but the built-in LED lights are an advantage in dark rooms. The quality of the microphone and the quality of the speakers also support it well. And the monitor has a variety of features.
