Review on ViewSonic VX2478 SMHD Frameless Widescreen DisplayPort 2560X1440P: 🖥️ An Immersive Visual Experience with Anti Glare and IPS Technology by Jon Jenkins

Basically this is a monitor for those who really liked the Acer G257HU but need a VESA mount. It has everything I wanted: good response time, great IPS quality for the price, thin bezels, and mounting support. Like the Acer alternative, it has a great out-of-the-box calibration that uses standard Windows and GPU color settings. The colors are bright and vibrant. However, it is a bit smaller compared to the Acer counterpart. Pros: - VESA mounting - High quality IPS display with 2560 x 1440 resolution - Good slim bezels, glossy front design (where it matters most). Cons: - Glossy back. Looks a bit odd, especially considering the VESA mount, although there appear to be rubber bumpers to prevent scratches. Power is supplied by an external power supply, and neither the monitor nor the power supply use a standard AWG universal power connector on the rear panel. I've never installed a stand, can't argue for or against) 1440p at 24 inches is amazing for pixel density. However, due to Windows 10 (at least with the Fall 2016 updates), DPI scaling still works, especially if you're not using the same resolution/monitor for your secondary display as I am. Some workarounds, while great for a new monitor, are also used for UI elements on my 1080p screen. However, I don't blame the manufacturer because at the moment all problems lie with the software, especially with Windows 10. With the rise of 4k games, it is surprising that Microsoft has not provided a reliable solution for DPI scaling. Even if you're a single monitor user, as those who have used 1080p 15-inch laptops know, DPI scaling can still cause some blurring. This is the same problem but on the desktop side. Problems with games: again related to the Microsoft operating system. The culprit is that many games see scaled DPI as 1080p when trying to run in windowed or borderless settings. I can say that few new games can reasonably see what's really going on. For example, Diablo III may not run correctly at 1440p in a window with DPI scaling enabled. Fortunately, however, Blizzard's latest Overwatch game can do just that. , you will need to play most games in full screen mode to see the full resolution. This issue is related to DPI scaling in Windows and NOT to the monitor itself. It's just a casualty of circumstance. So aside from Windows' poor DPI scaling decisions, this is an easy buy. I bought mine for $2.30 before tax, which is the lowest according to camelcamelcamel.com. I wouldn't pay more than $255 for the price the Acer G257HU is sold for and go with Acer instead UNLESS you're interested in the VESA mount.
