Review on πŸ“· Professional-grade ViewSonic VP2468 Monitor for Photography with Built-In Speakers, Tilt Adjustment, Blue Light Filter, and HDMI by George Rivera

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solid monitor so far; pretty easy to set up in dual monitor mode (once you find the info online)

**NOTE** If you want to daisy chain two of these monitors using a DisplayPort, there is NO need to purchase additional DisplayPort cables - the cables that come with the two monitors provide everything you need to connect a monitor to a DisplayPort output require. on your graphics card, and then connect monitors 1 to 2. I should have ignored the "Recommended Purchase Together" items. I recently bought a new high end Dell PC and decided not to plug in my old new setup. After googling, I settled on these Viewsonic monitors as a reasonable balance between price and performance and bought two. *Thanks to the engineer who did this for law firms and took the time to document the process and suggest monitors that support daisy chaining as documentation on the graphics card and monitor manufacturers' websites was sparse or non-existent. * I connected them in the DisplayPort daisy-chain configuration. When I initially got them to display my desktop on two monitors, my desktop was being tracked on both monitors. The key wasn't in the Windows 10 setup or my graphics card configuration, it was in the setup menu of the monitors themselves. In short, you connect a DisplayPort cable from your graphics card to monitor 1, connect another cable from the DP out port of monitor 1 with monitor 2, then make the following settings on both monitors: Press the top button on the right rear side of the monitor, select the "Hamburger" icon button (the hamburger consists of 3 horizontal lines - the buttons on the back right correspond to the menu icons displayed), use right/left icons and corresponding buttons to navigate to "Settings Menu” item ". , press tick icon button, use up/down icon buttons to navigate to " DisplayPort 1.2”, select "On” (the selected item turns yellow, the unselected item turns white), set the "MST” submenu item to "On”, save it and leave it. You can find the best travel destinations by searching the internet.
