DO NOT update the firmware on this monitor

Updated Rating: 5/5 Stars ViewSonic's customer service was excellent. They admitted there was a problem updating the firmware on macOS and sent me a replacement monitor and prepaid label to ship mine back in the same box. The new monitor came with the latest firmware and works perfectly. They said they would fix a bug that corrupts monitors when updating firmware, but I still won't risk updating this monitor. Aside from the firmware update issue, the only other complaint I have is that the speakers are useless; They are completely flat and tinny. Other than that, the image quality and build quality are excellent. Original Rating: 1/5 Stars This monitor was great when I first got it. The picture is bright and the colors are good. It charges my 15-inch MacBook Pro and delivers 2K output at 60fps, and also acts as a USB hub via a single USB-C cable (included). The monitor stand is also very handy, it allows for easy height adjustment, tilt and rotation, and it took less than 5 minutes to install with no tools. However, I did install the VDisplay software (which allows you to control some of the monitor's settings from your computer) and found that a firmware update for the monitor is available. My monitor was on M001 before the update. After the update it went to M002 but my monitor stopped showing the correct image, everything was horribly distorted and covered with "rainbow static", I tried laptop and iPad, tried USB-C and HDMI. I reset all monitor settings and tried changing colors and display settings. Nothing helped. Now my monitor is completely unusable.

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • Limited ability to reduce glare and eye strain
