ViewSonic VP2772 Pro Reviews

The Viewsonic VP2772 is a solidly-constructed professional monitor that offers excellent picture quality out of the box, making it an excellent choice for Windows 8.1 users seeking a hassle-free option. Those on OS X should exercise caution, however, as the VP2772 requires Sharpness adjustments to correct the distorted image that's produced. The touch-sensitive controls make this a pain, so it's not something you'll want to do when switching back and forth from Windows 8.1 Featurewise, the VP2772 comes up with the goods. The wide port selection makes it a versatile contender, and the ability to raise, tilt and adjust the panel are practical plus points. The VP2772 loses points for style - it isn't the worst-looking monitor we've come across but it isn't as enticing as professional panels found in higher price brackets. Appearances and fiddly menu controls aside, there are few areas that the monitor falls short, meaning we can only recommend it those craving impeccable colour and sharp clarity for under £600.

The ViewSonic VP2772 sits in the semi-pro market, with relatively decent performance and a decent adjustable stand, although overall build quality and attention to detail fall a little short of that found on high-end monitors from Eizo and NEC. But if 27 inches of better-than-HD resolution appeals the ViewSonic is one of the few select monitors that will deliver.

A professional-class 27in monitor with a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution that doesn’t cost a fortune
