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?
