amazon Viewsonic VP3268-4K reviews

VP series is a line of monitors launched by Viewsonic aimed at users with high demand for color and completely capable of directly competing with DELL’s famous Ultrasharp series. Previously, I used the Viewsonic VP2468 monitor for a while and was extremely satisfied with the quality and design. VP3268-4K is the 32-inch version of this product line, equipped with up to 4K resolution and high-end panels that promise to bring very good image quality.

DESIGN

The box is still Viewsonic’s familiar color scheme with the famous GOULDIAN 3 sparrow symbol

The front of the screen is quite simple with the market understanding taking up most of the area, without any of the company’s logos, giving a very “clean” feeling.

Seen from this angle, you can see that the screen border of the VP3268-4K is very thin in all 4 directions

The words Viewsonic are placed on the stand instead of the front

The stand is quite large, which is understandable when with a screen size of up to 32 inches, it is necessary to have a large base area to be able to hold the screen firmly. According to the company announcement, the stand is designed to be able to rotate the screen left and right at an angle of 60 degrees.

For me, the most beautiful highlight of the Viewsonic VP3268-4K is the very elegant and delicately designed legs.

Instead of a normal straight line, Viewsonic has instead an extremely sexy curve, users can change the height of the screen to about 130mm. You can also remove the stand to use an external stand like NORTH BAYOU

Of course, with a monitor aimed at high-end graphics users, the ability to rotate 90 degrees vertically is indispensable

At the top is the embossed Viewsonic logo, and below is the screen’s heat dissipation slot

The screen control buttons are located on the right side of the user, to be honest, the operation of this row of buttons is not very good, it is quite difficult to get used to, and easy to press the wrong button.

All the connection ports of the VP3268-4K are concentrated below, including 2 HDMI ports – Display Port – Mini DP – 2 3.5mm ports – 4 USB 3.0 expansion ports

=> I appreciate the design of the Viewsonic VP3268 because of its sophistication and softness in every detail, high perfection, and certainty. However, there is still one point that makes me unhappy, that is, the row of control buttons on the screen does not bring comfort and convenience to use, Viewsonic should have equipped a joystick button to navigate because of the convenience. Its use is completely unsurpassed.

CONTROL MENU

The Viewsonic VP3268-4K is one of the monitors with a rather complicated menu system to get used to, plus a row of unfriendly buttons that can cause discomfort for newbies.

When the first button is clicked, a shortened menu will appear so that users can quickly select important options such as color mode.

Viewsonic VP3268-4K has many different color range display modes for many special needs

Clicking the 4th button from the top will access the main menu of the screen. The SETUP MENU section will be the place to set up additional features of the screen such as ECO MODE power saving mode, display images from various sources, and display control menus…

AUDIO ADJUST item for volume control and audio input

VIEW MODE is the most important item of the Viewsonic VP3268-4K, where you can choose from many different color modes for each specific need. Not many monitors on the market have such detailed options.

The GAME mode includes 4 presets for 3 game genres: FPS, RTS, and MOBA. These modes will vary the display of colors very differently from contrast, brightness, and a variety of other RGB primary color settings to deliver a representation of the code Viewsonic thinks is best suited for that genre.

Next is a series of modes for movies, surfing the web, and reading text. The mode for graphic designers is divided into sections with the option to increase or decrease the sharpness or color gamut.

There is a separate section for professional photographers with a series of color customizations aimed at different types of images, Viewsonic is professional and detailed in this section.

Not only stopping there, but the COLOR ADJUST section also allows users to further customize each color separately.

In this section, there will be “numerous” options so that users can tweak the colors most rigorously, if you are a normal user, I recommend using the pre-set color profiles as well.

In each subsection, more choices will increase the complexity, but the main plus is that you can fine-tune the colors at a more detailed level.

Therefore, it can be said that the Viewsonic VP3268-4K is an extremely versatile graphics monitor and is suitable for many different customers.

You can affect 3 basic colors: Red, Green, and Blue to adjust the most appropriate screen color.

Not only that, the color system you can change with CMYK colors is aimed at those who work in the printing industry. Not many monitors can do that.

The MANUAL IMAGE ADJUST section helps to adjust values ​​such as SHARPNESS, INPUT LAG, RESPONSE TIME, BLUE LIGHT FILTER, and UNIFORMITY (uniformity, this function can be turned on or off. When enabled, it will adjust the color uniformity across the entire screen, but it will affect factors such as brightness, contrast) HDR10 (HDR mode on and off), FILM MODE (automatically doubles movie frames from 24 fps to 48 fps)

=> Viewsonic VP3268-4K is equipped with extremely powerful color fine-tuning capabilities with a lot of deep intervention options to help users fine-tune the most suitable color. Not many monitors on the market can do this, I’m extremely impressed with the VP3268-4K in this regard. Of course, the more detailed it is, the more complicated it is, for individual users, the available color profiles are good enough to use. The big minus point is probably in the row of control buttons that are quite easy to press by mistake and difficult to get used to

IMAGE QUALITY

Visibility is nothing to worry about with almost 100% of the popular sRGB color gamut and 79% AdobeRGB usable for graphics tasks.

GAMMA is perfect, coincides with the standard reference value 2.2

Brightness and contrast are good, and working in well-lit office conditions has no problem.

One point is that when in sRGB color mode, the brightness is locked at about 120 nits, which is quite dark, but still usable, but in many conditions, such brightness is not good. However, according to myself, the sRGB mode for color accuracy is very high and harmonious, if you need an accurate color and don’t want to interfere too deeply, then sRGB mode is an extreme choice.

The ability to display the color of the VP3268-4K is very good for all needs, from watching movies, surfing the web, and editing photos, and videos … make me completely satisfied. Another plus point is that the 4K resolution at 32 inches is very reasonable, neither too big nor too small, the large workspace is extremely suitable for graphics software that has a lot of control panels.

HDR mode on the VP3268-4K is not very impressive, even in many cases making the image worse, so I do not recommend using this mode. The reason is that the VP3268-4K does not achieve a wide enough color range as well as poor brightness (compared to the HDR standard).

=> The ability to display colors is extremely excellent, and accurate support many color systems, and can fine-tune deeply to help users get the most accurate colors possible. With 4K resolution, the sharpness is undisputed. If I had to choose a monitor for everyday work, the Viewsonic VP3268-4K would be the first choice.

BUILT-IN SPEAKER

I am not a fan of speakers built into monitors because the quality is quite bad and not too necessary. However, with the Viewsonic VP3268-4K, I have a different thought, the volume is quite loud, enough to annoy the whole office if you turn it up loud, and the sound quality only stops at the level of built-in speakers but enough for you to use when watching videos, syncing audio during video making… these needs, although I often wearing headphones continuously is not comfortable, so the built-in speaker is present on the VP3268- 4K is a useful utility.

CONCLUSION

Viewsonic VP3268-4K delivers impressive display color quality with high accuracy and sharpness, extremely suitable for graphic and printing needs. Support for many different color ranges, and the ability to fine-tune detailed colors is a point that I like because this makes it compatible with many different needs.

Besides, the design of the VP3268-4K is also very delicate and beautiful, although it is not important for a working monitor, it is still better, right?
