Experience ViewSonic VX2780: choose a cheap 2K monitor for work and entertainment

In the current popular monitor segment, the price of 5 million VND often only offers Full HD options or some basic QHD models with a 60Hz refresh rate. The appearance of ViewSonic VX2780-2K-SHDJ opens up a more balanced solution, when combining sharp 2K resolution, smooth 100Hz refresh rate and wide sRGB color gamut.

This product is aimed at office users, creative students and casual gamers who want to upgrade their display experience while still ensuring reasonable costs.

Design of Viewsonic VX2780

At first glance, the monitor impresses with its three-sided thin bezel design, giving the impression of a spacious and seamless display space. The bottom bezel is slightly thicker to accommodate the ViewSonic brand logo and the OSD control panel is neatly placed on the right side, allowing for quick operation.

The base of this monitor is square, with a matte surface, giving it a solid feel and less fingerprints. With a size of 27 inches, a sturdy base is essential to limit shaking when operating the keyboard or moving objects on the table. The highlight of the ergonomic design is the ability to rotate vertically, this is a rare feature in monitors in the 5 million VND price range, helping users easily work with long documents, surf the web or program.

In addition, this screen allows tilt adjustment to find a comfortable viewing angle, serving many different sitting positions. The screen can also be raised and lowered depending on the user's viewing angle. In terms of connection ports, Viewsonic VX2780 is equipped with popular ports such as HDMI, DisplayPort and audio output, all facing down, making wiring neater.

Evaluate visibility and performance

The ViewSonic VX2780-2K-SHDJ is equipped with an IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1440, providing sharp and stable display quality at many viewing angles. Through the process of measuring and calibrating colors with specialized equipment, the screen achieves 99% sRGB, 77% AdobeRGB and 79% DCI-P3, equivalent to 72% NTSC. With this color range, the product is aimed at the general user group, meeting well the needs of basic photo editing, web design and digital content production on the sRGB platform. The default color accuracy is quite good, after calibration can achieve better results.

The brightness is measured at about 334 nits, combined with a contrast ratio of approximately 900:1, providing a fairly good level of detail reproduction in indoor environments. When adjusted to gamma 2.2, the gray scale is uniform, maintaining a balance between light and dark areas. In addition, the screen also provides two other gamma levels of 1.8 and 2.6, allowing users to flexibly choose according to their needs: gamma 1.8 is suitable for office work with high brightness, gamma 2.2 is suitable for general use and photo editing, while gamma 2.6 brings more vibrant colors and depth when enjoying videos or movies.

A notable detail is the display menu system (OSD) that supports Vietnamese. This is a big plus for ordinary users because they can easily adjust color parameters, brightness, color temperature without having to consult documents or guess symbols. The options are arranged intuitively, easy to operate through the physical keys on the bottom edge.

In real-world experience, the monitor shows stability when displaying dynamic images. When testing CS2, a game that requires quick reflexes and stable frame rates, the VX2780 performed well, without recording tearing or ghosting thanks to the 100Hz refresh rate combined with Adaptive Sync. Of course, for professional eSports games, 144Hz or higher monitors still dominate, but in the 5 million VND price segment, the 100Hz experience is enough to make a clear difference compared to the 60Hz or 75Hz standard.

When switching to entertainment content, especially 4K video, the screen shows its strength in color. At gamma 2.6, the scenes become vivid, color saturation is enhanced but not excessive, and details in dark and bright areas are well preserved. Videos with many night scenes or complex lighting still maintain clarity, creating a comfortable feeling when watching for a long time.

General assessment

Although ViewSonic VX2780-2K-SHDJ is not a high-end monitor, in the price range of 5 million VND, this monitor still brings a combination of many worthy features. Wide sRGB color gamut, Vietnamese menu and flexible gamma modes help the monitor serve many situations, from office work, study to entertainment.

For those who want to upgrade from a Full HD monitor without focusing too much on intensive gaming features, the VX2780 is a worthy choice thanks to its balance between specifications and cost.
