Review on ViewSonic VX3276-MHD Frameless Widescreen Display with DisplayPort, Backlit, 1920X1080P at 60Hz by James Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent "IPS 2K " monitor for home or office use. Consider this “4K VA” alternative

This is a quality monitor from Viewsonic. Firstly, I don't play video games, so my rating is for home and office use (MS Office, web browsing, light photo editing, etc.). Having a 32-inch 4K VA panel monitor in the office, I can honestly say that this 32-inch 2K IPS monitor offers the best value for money. While I can still read text in full 4K resolution, it's just uncomfortably long. The nicer resolution setting I use in the office is somewhere between 2K and 4K (closer to 2K). Based on this experience, I decided to go home with a 2K IPS monitor of the same size, 32 inches. The IPS panel is significantly better compared to the VA, especially when it comes to on-screen text; VA has small but noticeable text artifacts. where IPS is only clear. The resolution is comfortable and there's a lot of "real estate" on this 32-inch size. So if you're looking for a 32-inch monitor in the $400 price range, don't let 4K fool you, unless you might be planning on watching a 4K TV on it? For home/office use, 2K IPS is not only cheaper (less than $300), it also fits the bill much better. I did a lot of research and then got a 32 inch 4K VA panel monitor at work and to be honest it's a disappointing experience for office use; I'm not using full 4K resolution and the VA quality isn't as good as on an IPS panel. With a 32-inch 2K IPS at home (that's Viewsonic) and given my experience with it, I'd ask the same for the office if I had to do it again. While 4K is good for some things, 2K is better for others. through my experience. If you have a chance to compare monitors in this price range for home/office use, you might find the same thing. Not only is the image quality excellent, the monitor itself also has an attractive appearance.

Pros
  • 32 inches
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
