A Review of the Viewsonic VP2780-4k 27 inch Ultra HD 4k Monitor – VP2780

The Viewsonic VP2780-4K is a 4K ultra HD monitor that's definitely been designed with graphics, post production and content development professionals in mind With a superior color accuracy and performance specs that were put together specifically for...

Excellent refresh rate ; Excellent connectivity ; Includes HDMI 2.0 ; Very solid 10-bit color ; 16:9 aspect ratio perfecto for gaming ; Numerous display augmentation features ; DisplayPort 1.2

Utilitarian design without elegance ; Possible response time lag due to IPS screen ; Slightly flimsy design ; No internal speakers

The bottom line for the Viewsonic VP2780-4K is that the company has offered an excellent professional monitor to customers with very few defects at a great price, and for this price, they’ve even managed to create a product that is quite unique on the...

ViewSonic VP2780 4K monitor review

There's plenty to recommend this 27-inch 4K monitor but is it worth its luxury price tag?

Flexible input and multi-screen display options ; Great colour fidelity in sRGB ; Slim-line styling minimises desktop footprint

No Adobe RGB colour space ; Fiddly controls sacrifice functionality for style ; Limited scope for manual calibration

ViewSonic is better known for its gaming monitors, but it’s dabbling in displays for photographers and the VP2780 delivers 4K quality at a very appealing price provided you’re prepared to sacrifice a few frills.

ViewSonic 27-inch 4K LED Monitor (VP2780-4K) Review

After a huge amount of high refresh rate, gaming-focused monitors, we take a step back and look at the ViewSonic VP2780-4K.

ViewSonic VP2780-4K 27-inch Ultra HD Monitor Review

We've got ViewSonic's VP2780-4K in the lab today. Is this 27-inch, Ultra HD, IPS-based monitor worth your hard-earned money? Let's find out!

Build quality • Contrast • Gamma and grayscale • High output • Input lag • Out-of-box color accuracy

Gamma and color in user mode

27 inches is on the small side for Ultra HD but the VP2780-4K has enough positive qualities to merit serious consideration. No calibration is required thanks to a factory adjustment that is backed up by a data sheet individual to each monitor. With a...

ViewSonic VP2780-4K review

Great quality and versatility from this focused business panel

Excellent image quality ; Versatile stand design ; High resolution ; Consistent across whole screen

No speakers ; Heavy and bulky design ; Pricier than rivals

The ViewSonic VP2780-4K has a high resolution, impressive quality levels and great versatility from its design, but it's expensive and lacks some consumer features.

ViewSonic VP2780-4K UHD monitor review

This 27-inch display is well specified with an IPS technology panel, matt anti-glare hard coating and 3840 x 2160-pixel resolution. This panel is from LG, although it's not clear if this new UHD version is a true 10-bit panel or follows similar designs...

The VP2780-4K is expensive for a consumer monitor at £699, although relatively cheap when set against professional monitors with full AdobeRGB colour and polished OSD menus, for which you can expect to pay closer to twice the price. ViewSonic's...

Review: ViewSonic VP2780-4K

T here's no two ways about it: the ViewSonic VP2780-4K is something of a bargain by the standards of professional monitors. It still isn't cheap, but this 27in monitor packs in everything you could reasonably expect for the cash. Take a 3,840 x 2,160...

"Despite its faults, the ViewSonic VP2780-4K has much to recommend it. "

Consumer review (newegg.com)

So good I forgive the touch "buttons"

I heartily recommend this to anyone looking for a professional display. I use it for software development. Besides the slightly large footprint I have zero complaints. I also own a Dell P2715Q and when waking from sleep with my 5k iMac it would flicker...

- great colours and panel in general - solid construction - works well with my 5k iMac (same can't be said for Dell's P2715Q) - clean look (after removing energy star sticker)

- stand has a big footprint with those two prongs out the front
