Great picture
Great pictureSeems a shame I’m not watching movies on it

Excellent monitor, even for streaming
Bought it 2 years ago and it’s great. Zero issues, great picture. Initially used for computer work but now used for streaming movies. Excellent. ViewSonic tends to cost more than others, but they’ve never disappointed me. Specifically, I’ve never had pixel problems or any other problems.

Good value
This is a review of the 32” 4K monitor with an “MVA” panel.This is a good monitor considering how little it costs (for a 32” 4K monitor that is). It has no obvious quality control issues I’ve been able to discern. If you get something for a low price like this, and it works exactly the way it’s intended to work, then you should consider yourself lucky that you got a good deal.Before I bought this monitor, I imagined that a 32” 4K monitor would make my computer life so much better. But I now feel that 32” is just TOO BIG for typical desktop usage. A 27” 1440p (aka QHD) monitor is the sweet spot for a desktop monitor. Most people buying this monitor would be better off with that and you’d save yourself some money or, for the same price, get a monitor that has better features and maybe better color quality and accuracy. However, I am not holding its size against the monitor, it is what you’re buying. Just advice for anyone reading this.As an MVA panel, I had high hopes that the blacks would be jet black and not have the “glow” of IPS monitors. I was wrong about that, this panel definitely has an MVA glow, I guess you would call it. Are the blacks a little bit darker than a typical IPS panel? I don’t know for sure, I only have one other monitor to judge it against, a Samsung “PLS” monitor that I bought 8 years ago for $800. That much more expensive monitor annoyed me for 8 years with its corner glow that ruined the experience of watching fullscreen movies or videos. I am happy to say that this Viewsonic monitor does not have any corner glow and it’s much better for watching movies. Yay! But still not jet-black blacks.The downside of this monitor having an MVA panel is that there’s a loss of contrast when viewing the corners or edges of the monitor. I would not recommend this as an office monitor (where IPS glow doesn’t matter), or for color-critical photo/video editing. But for a home monitor where you would use it in a dimly lit room and use it a lot for watching movies/TV/YouTube/Netflix etc., I think a VA type of panel makes sense. The viewing angle issue is barely noticeable most of the time, and this monitor certainly has a much better viewing angle than a TN monitor, but the issue is there.There’s nothing horribly wrong with the panel, but the colors seem to lack punch. Also, the monitor has a really weird gamma curve that I don’t like. It seems to work better with a Mac, but when I hook a PC up to it, it looks all wrong. Hint: there’s a setting in the menu system called “black stabilization” that’s by default set to 50. Lowering it may improve the look on a PC and give you darker darks and less of a washed-out look. Other than this “black stabilization” setting, I don’t see any other way to adjust the gamma in the monitor’s menu system.Before I bash the monitor, let me tell you what’s good about it: It has a lot of input ports, two HDMI and two DisplayPort (but I have no idea why one of the DP inputs is MDP; if you happen to have an old MacBook with an MDP port, you can just buy an MDP to DP cable which you probably already have anyway), it has an output for sound, it even has built in speakers, but the built-in speakers are pretty bad so they are mostly useless. The monitor also looks really nice. It’s very slim and has hardly any bezel at all.OK, let’s get to the bad. The monitor has no height adjustment, and this monitor definitely needs a height adjustment because it’s so huge; the default height is too high, I wish I could lower it as much as possible so I don’t have to strain my neck to see the topmost part of the monitor.The control system for this monitor is awful. The control buttons are on the back, and even basic tasks like changing the brightness or changing the input requires fumbling with a bunch of different buttons. In the future, I will definitely favor any monitor that has a remote control, or at least a d-pad on the front.There’s very little documentation about what all the functions do or how to use them. I downloaded the user manual from the web in PDF format, but it doesn’t tell you that much about what all of the mysterious functions do. What you can’t do in the menus is change the gamma or set an exact color temperature that you specify with a K value or change the color saturation.But the bottom line is that, despite the bad and the mediocre, there are no defects and it cost very little money. You can easily spend three times as much money for a 4K 32″ monitor that, at the end of the day, is still just a big high resolution monitor.UPDATE A FEW MONTHS LATERThe image quality on this monitor is very good.I realize now that when I wrote the original review, I was getting washed out colors with PC because the settings were wrong in Nvida control app. It was set to “RGB Limited” when it should have been “RGB Full”. Maybe this happened because I was using an HDMI cable instead of a DisplayPort cable to connect the monitor?I stand by in hating the controls for the monitor on the back/right. It takes forever and is a real pain in the ass to adjust even something simple like the brightness.I also stand by not liking the cheap stand that can’t be vertically adjusted.I also stand by 32″ being too big, but that’s not the fault of ViewSonic, it’s what I bought.Everything else about this monitor is great for the price. Especially great for watching movies or TV if you push your chair back about 3 feet form the monitor.

Great Display for non-scaled productivity at 2k.
This is a review of the 1440p (2k) VersionThere are basically 4 options for a 32-inch screen (non-ultrawide):1. 1080p – too pixelated, and buttons are too big.2. 1440p – good non-scaling/non-retina density ~93 ppi.3. 4k – requires fractional scaling, costs more.4. 6k – Apple’s Pro Display, only problem: $5000+.I deliberately went with 1440p here to avoid scaling settings and I am enjoying using this monitor so far. My use cases are is studying (Mac) and work (Win 10).- Out-of-the-box settings need a little work: I use standard mode with 100% brightness and 100% sharpness.- Not the brightest, but adequate for indoors.- Settings navigation is a bit tough, but at least there are physical buttons.- Not a gaming monitor (75Hz only, no FreeSync).+ 3-year warranty.+ Good color (SDR) and uniformity.+ Competitive price at 32 inches.+ Amazing build quality with metal along all edges and on the stand.Bottom Line:Good productivity monitor if you want to avoid scaling issues in macOS and Windows. The 1440p resolution at 32 inches is about the same density as a 24″ 1080p screen, meaning at 100% scaling, text is large enough in virtually every case. I like that I rarely need to use the zoom feature on apps.

I recently got my hands on the ViewSonic VX3276-4K-MHD 32 Inch 4K UHD Monitor, connected to my minipc and I couldn’t be more thrilled! The display is absolutely stunning with vibrant colors that make everything pop. Watching movies and playing games on this monitor feels like a whole new experience! Plus, its sleek, thin design fits perfectly in my workspace without taking up too much room. While the speakers are decent for everyday use, I often pair it with my favorite sound system for an even better audio experience. If you’re looking for a monitor that combines style and performance, this is definitely the one to get!

Ich habe den ViewSonic Monitor als erstes in der Arbeit gestellt bekommen, da ich viel mit Excellisten arbeiten muss. So ein großer Monitor eignet sich hervorragend dazu. Ich bin so begeistert von dem Monitor, dass ich ihn mir sogar nochmal für Zuhause bestellt habe, um im Home-Office genau diese Qualität zu haben, wie im Büro.Der Monitor hat sehr gute Farben und eine wunderbare Auflösung. Angeschlossen habe ich ein Mac Book Air von 2013 via Thunderbolt auf HDMI. Die Übertragung ist sehr gut und man hat keine Abweichungen oder Ruckler drin. Zuhause habe ich ebenfalls dieses Setting. Jedoch habe ich auch probiert meine PS4 daran anzuschließen und war erstaunt. Die Qualität zum Gamen war wirklich super. Auch hier ist es echt klasse, wie sich das Farbverhältnis und die Übertragung perfekt anpassen.+ sehr guter Monitor für Arbeiten & Gaming+ echter Hingucker durch die Größe (32 Zoll)+ schönes Design durch rahmenlosen Monitor und edlen Standfuß+ einfacher Aufbau und Anschluss+ sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis+ extrem schnelle LieferungDaten:+ Full-HD+ IPS-Panel+ HDMI+ DP+ Eye-Care+ Eco-Mode+ Lautsprecher (sehr gute Qualität)Ich bin mehr als zufrieden und kann den Bildschirm nur empfehlen. Klare Kaufempfehlung und volle 5 Sterne.
