ViewSonic VP2788-5K thoughts:

  • The stand is very solid, but not really usable if you don't want the bottom of your 27" monitor to be at minimum 6 cm above your desk.
  • It's far too bright at 0% brightness. Like a VX2475Smhl-4K at 35% brightness. Feels like I'm looking at a TV.
  • It ships with defaults that apply sharpening to the input ("Ultra Clear"), but it's easy to turn off.
  • The OSD is operated via a usable joystick button, but it's in the wrong place, below the bezel.
  • The power button—with a very similar shape—is right next to the OSD button.
  • There's no G-SYNC or FreeSync.
  • When run at 75 Hz, the frame pacing in 60 Hz games is (of course) a mess. Tested: The Witness.
  • Maybe it is good for doing photography or video work if you run it at 60 Hz and don't mind the lumens and the backlight bleed?

Switching back to the 24" ViewSonic VX2475Smhl-4K: what a relief.
