Review on ViewSonic VX2478 SMHD Frameless Widescreen DisplayPort 2560X1440P: ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ An Immersive Visual Experience with Anti Glare and IPS Technology by Jesse Costello

Great while it lasts

I bought 2 of these in late 2018 because I was looking for a borderless 1440p IPS display that could run above 60Hz and the reviews said they could run at 85Hz. Those reviews were accurate, and on a non-IPS display, I was reasonably happy with the color reproduction. You really couldn't get a better display for the price and overall I was very happy with the purchase. All of this means that over time both monitors had trouble shutting down for seemingly no reason. The first monitor started doing this about 10 months after purchase. Power outages were initially rare, but became more frequent. I thought the problem might be with the power supplies, but switching the monitors' power supplies didn't change the problem. I eventually got fed up and paid to have the monitor sent back to the manufacturer to 'fix' it under warranty, but that only seemed to buy me some time as the problem eventually returned after 6 months. The second monitor had the same problems 18 months after purchase and it doesn't seem worth sending this monitor back to "fix" it again. UPDATE: Almost exactly 24 months after original purchase, the first monitor is now virtually completely off, refusing to stay on for more than a few seconds.
