ViewSonic VX3276-MHD 32 Inch 1080p Widescreen IPS Monitor with Ultra-Thin Bezels, Screen Split Capability HDMI and DisplayPort

I picked this up as a second monitor for my system to extend the display and have some work tabs open while doing other things. The setup was fairly easy and the entire unit seems to be fairly robust. The graphics and color displays seem to be on point. Since I'm a photographer, I did a little color calibration to be sure, but it didn't take much time or work to get things right. The response time for menu entries seems fairly snappy and the system seems easy to navigate. There are lots of port options for HDMI (2), Display Port, Mini Display Port, and one audio out if you don't want to use the built in speakers. I'm not much of a PC gamer, so I can't speak to that aspect, but overall, I'm happy with the purchases. For the money, it seems to be a really good quality monitor that offers good connectivity and great on-screen performance for the specs. Seems to be a good value overall.

This is a nice quality monitor from Viewsonic. First off, I do not play video games, so my review pertains to home and office type use (MS Office, Web browsing, light duty photo editing, etc.). Having a 4K VA panel 32" monitor in the office, I can honestly say that this 2K IPS 32" monitor is a better value for the money. While I can still read text at the full 4K resolution, it is simply uncomfortable for a long time. A more pleasant resolution setting I use in the office is somewhere between 2K and 4K (more towards the 2K mark). Given that experience, I went for the 2K IPS monitor of the same 32" size at home. The IPS panel vs. VA is a whole lot better, esp. with text on the screen; the VA has some slight but noticeable artifacts with text where the IPS is simply clear. The resolution is comfortable and at this 32" size there is plenty of "real estate". So, if you are looking inside the $400 price range for a 32" monitor don't get fooled by 4K unless you are planning to watch 4K TV on it perhaps? For home/office use, the 2K IPS is not only cheaper (less than $300) but fits the bill much better. I did a lot of researching and then, at work, I was able to get the 32" 4K VA panel monitor and, to be honest, it is a disappointing experience for office use; I do not run the full 4K resolution and the VA quality just is not as good as the IPS panel. Having the 32" 2K IPS (this Viewsonic) at home and given my experience with it, I would have requested the same for the office if I had to do it again. So, while 4K is good for some things for others 2K is preferable in my experience. If you get a chance to compare monitors in this price range for home/office use, you may find the same. Viewsonic is also a top notch brand with a 3 yr warranty. This particular model also has the frameless edge. Not only is the picture quality excellent but the monitor has a nice high quality look.

I'm looking at this screen right now while I'm typing. I like it a lot. Nice color and resolution and a good value for the money.

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 LATER The 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.

Clear nice picture, the sound is terrible though so have a set of speakers available

Hab nach einem guten 4K Monitor für mein MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) gesucht und mit dem Viewsonic VX3276-4K-MHD (32 Zoll, 4K UHD) einen gefunden. + Design / Material / Konstruktion: Auf jeden Fall einer der coolsten Displays, die ich bisher verwendet hab. Durch den schmalen Rand kommt die Größe richtig zur Geltung, Der Rahmen ist Oben und an den Seiten effektiv 9 mm dick. Durch den schwarzen Bildschirmrand und der silbernen Fassung optisch jedoch viel dünner. Eine kleine rechteckige LED rechts unten leuchtet beim Betrieb blau, im Standby orange. Den Standfuß hab ich ehrlich gesagt nie ausprobiert (hab den Bildschirm direkt an die Wand gehängt), sieht aber sehr hochwertig aus und liegt auch schwer in der Hand. Der Monitor ist an der dicksten Stelle etwa 4,5 cm breit, sodass er sehr nah an die Wand montiert werden kann. Die Kabelanschlüsse befinden sich auf der Unterseite und etwas vertieft, sodass sowohl von Vorne, als auch von der Seite nur die Kabel sichtbar sind, nicht deren Stecker. Außerdem ist in dieser Vertiefung genug Platz, um die Kabel zur gewünschten Stelle zu führen - sehr minimalistisch also, gefällt mir gut! + Funktion: Das IPS Panel sieht super aus. Bin begeistert von den Farben und der Schärfe. Auch der matte Display ist genau so, wie ich ihn mir vorgestellt hab. Selbst bei schönem Wetter, wenn die Sonne voll ins Zimmer scheint, spiegelt nichts. Auch ist die Bildschirmhelligkeit in einer solchen Situation immernoch sehr gut. Der Monitor besitzt viele Einstellmöglichkeiten, die sich alle über die 6 Tasten auf der Rückseite bedienen lassen. Dadurch, dass man diese Tasten nicht sieht, sondern nur erfühlt, ist die Bedienung etwas umständlich, jedoch muss man dort im Normalfall selten was ändern. Ich hab einige Einstellungen und auch die Game-Modi ausprobiert, komme aber immer wieder auf die Standardeinstellung zurück, diese ist bereits wunderbar kalibriert! Wenn man nicht gerade das Ohr an den Monitor legt, ist er völlig lautlos. Selbst wenn der Computer mal nicht lüftet, ist das Gerät absolut geräuschlos, konnte kein Surren oder ähnliches feststellen. Die verbauten Boxen sind absoluter Schrott. Selbst Systemtöne werden mit einem leichten Rauschen ausgegeben, die Tonqualität von den Lautsprechern von Smartphone oder Laptop sind um Welten besser - aber ganz ehrlich, wen interessiert der Ton bei einem externen Monitor? Nach dem Einschalten erscheint kurz das Viewsonic-Logo in Farbe in der Mitte des Bildschirms, dann erst das übertragene Bild. Zum Hochfahren braucht der Monitor insgesamt nur 5 Sekunden. + Zubehör / Anschlussmöglichkeiten: Beiliegend ist das Netzkabel und ein HDMI-Kabel. Das Netzteil ist im Monitor verbaut. Auch die VESA-Kmpatibilität ist sehr gut - die 4 Gewinde für die Schrauben (mit einem Abstand von 100 x 100 mm) liegen auf der hinteresten Ebene des Monitors, es müssen also keine Abstandhalter verwendet werden. Auf der Unterseite befinden sich neben dem Anschluss des Netzkabels links des weitern 2x HDMI Ports, 1x Mini-DisplayPort, 1x DisplayPort, 1x Audio Out rechts. Fazit: Top 4K-Monitor! Kaufen! So und jetzt zum Thema mit den 4K bei 60Hz an einem alten Mac: Um mit dem MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) einen 4K-Monitor bei 60Hz zu betreiben gibt es nur eine einzige Möglichkeit - über ein Mini-DisplayPort zu DisplayPort Kabel !!!!!!!!!! Diese Kabel gibt es von verschiedensten Herstellern in vielen unterschiedlichen Längen - ich persönlich verwende eines von iVANKY um 10 Euro. Auf den Bildern sind die beiden Grafikkarten des MacBooks Intel Iris Pro und NIVIDIA GeForce GT 750M zu sehen. Das Bild des Monitors läuft bei mir automatisch auf der NIVIDIA-Karte. Seit ich dieses Kabel verwende, gab es bei den 60Hz keinen einzigen Aussetzer mehr. Ein weiterer Vorteil beim Verwenden des Mini-DisplayPorts (bzw. Thunderbolt-Anschluss) ist, dass sich das MacBook die Größen und Positionen der geöffneten Programmfenster auf dem Monitor merkt, das klappt sonst nicht. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, das Bild direkt über das HDMI-Kabel oder einen Thunderbolt auf HDMI Adapter zu übertragen, jedoch nur bei 30Hz. Ich würde absolut niemandem empfehlen, den Bildschirm bei nur 30Hz zu verwenden. Man kann vieles schön reden, aber das ist einfach nur unerträglich mit der Zeit. Auch wenn man den Monitor nicht fürs Gaming verwendet, sondern nur zum Arbeiten, ruckelt der Mauszeiger, das Scrollen von Websites ist anstrengend, Videos sehen furchtbar aus, alles wirkt verzögert - tut euch das nicht an und investiert die paar Euro für das richtige Kabel.

L’écran est très très grand (ce que je voulais) mais l’encombrement sur le bureau est normal. La qualité d’image et la réactivité sont bonnes. Je l’utilise au travail sur PC où je suis amenée à avoir plusieurs documents ouverts en même temps et cela m’évite d’avoir deux écrans en faisant un split screen. Très contente de mon achat. Très bon rapport qualité/prix.

O monitor é muito bonito, de espessura fina, tem um toque moderno e funciona perfeitamente conectado ao MacBook, com o cabo mini DisplayPort. Mantive a configuração original (que funciona muito bem) pois configurar é um pouco chato, devido aos botões traseiros não terem indicação de sua funcionalidade. O som do monitor não é bom, uso sempre com o som nativo do MacBook ou com fone ou caixa de som. Mas mesmo com essas questões, vale a pena! Eu adoro o layout do monitor. É realmente muito bonito.
