Review on ViewSonic XG2705-2K Frameless LCD IPS Monitor with FreeSync and Ergonomics, HDMI 2560x1440P Resolution by Ernesto Mohr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice monitor with good specs.

Overall a good monitor. The adjustable stand is definitely nice to have. The colors are really good, but it's easy to confuse them with the OSD settings. The included DP cable is good and runs at 1440p 144Hz. It runs pretty cool and doesn't burn your face. The three year warranty is also great considering some companies only give one year. Of the minuses - the swivel is not very useful. It's cool, but the monitor is so big that it's uncomfortable to read it in portrait mode. The sRGB color mode will not work if the contrast is set too high. This works when set to around 50%, which is a usable number. Also, the cable management ring is flimsy and broke when I tried to install it. The "headphone holder" is totally useless if you don't have small headphones. At a full price of $350, it lacks some key features like USB ports and 165Hz mode that other monitors in this price range have. Great if you can buy it.
