Viewsonic’s XG275D-4K Monitor Review: bright colors, muddy shades

Just a few years ago, it was impossible to find a highly drilling rate, 27 inches, 4K Game screen Like Viewsonic XG275D-4K $ 500, which is a DFR-Dynamic and Resolution-you can work at 160 Hz with the original 4K resolution or 320 Hz in a window of 1080 pixels, 25 inches. Now, you can choose from countless competitors in this size for less than 400 dollars, many of them offer the text and excellent photography offered by 4K in addition to the update rates on an equal footing with the IPS screen in its price category.

However, although 500 dollars are large for what you offer, when Viewsonic is deducted to compete with models such as Acer nitro xB273k v5bmiiprx For example, at the time of review, it was about $ 390 in Amazon and Best Buy-may save enough uncomfortable style for players who want an offer that can withdraw the double service in the office.

Design and features

Why don’t you want to buy it at the manufacturer’s list price? The screen tends to features that tend the least expensive screens to include. It contains sound amplifiers, although low -energy copies, which are usually found on cheap screens (if they include amplifiers at all). Speakers are always estimated, because they are at least good for system notifications. But the screen lacks a built -in USB center. There is a single USB-C port with 65 w Even for the reduced price, it is disappointed in a disappointing way.

The Viewsonic XG275D-4K setting is clear, and it surprised me how hard, if it is simple, building the screen and the accompanying position. The pregnant woman is very strong, which means that the painting is not swaying while writing, and it has a large opening to direct the cables. The ability to adjust it is first degree to monitor games, allowing you to control height, cycle and tilt, as well as the header axis vertically. The offer and standing seems very solid.

Mobility in the built -in screen on the screen is simple, and useful, the battery life of the attached device is displayed at the bottom of the list when necessary, as well as the current brightness level. When OSD opens for the first time, it asks you to enter your country, and if you are in the United States, it automatically allows ECO mode and achieves brightness. This is an easy change to return, though.

performance

It is good that the performance of XG275D-4K is largely compensated by the lack of features. In 4K/160Hz, there is a little blurring of the distinctive movement when tracking fast -moving objects. I usually test fast displays with games like Hades and enter Gungeon, where the reaction time is very important, and the screen screen is impressive. For players in the field of electronic sports, or players who have non -strong systems enough to push a high -frequency screen in 4K, the above 1080p mode is a great way to pay more tires. The enabling of the situation in OSD and then restart the attached system to switch between decisions, which can be embarrassing.

The accuracy of the color is more impressive. I measured the average Delta E from 1.7 with the utmost brightness, both in a 10 % central window and the screen filling screen, as well as the maximum of the Delta from 4.7. This is an excellent result outside the box and makes the XG275D-4K a strong competitor for one that one can use the game and use it in photo or video sensitive color after calibration. Viewsonic does not provide a factory calibration report anywhere; However, since this is technically a game screen (although more and more manufacturers are offered to them these days).

GAMUT colors covered almost for the IPS screen, although there is no way to install it on SRGB, a disappointing supervision means that the colors appear excessive in the default display mode, especially red. But this also means that the colors emanate in games, bright titles such as a series, the Spider-Man series, and Hearthstone look vibrant and vibrant, while the high pixel density makes the edges particularly sharp.

But the contrast is average at more than 1000: 1 of the box (by 70 % of brightness), about what is normal for the IPS plate. Those who are accustomed to OLED shows with their deep blacks and the proportion of infinite variation may find dark areas in games and scenes in blurry or muddy films, and even five years old Gigabyte M27Q I use daily measures from 1200 to 1. Shades in Alan Week 2 looks washed, exploring the city of Nakron in the Elden episode was a standard, not in the atmosphere.

XG275D-4K is not very bright, as it tops at 290 windows measured by brightness. Although the screen is listed as supporting HDR10, this only means that it can do mathematics to draw the maps; Low brightness prevents the use of HDR and may require users to adjust the amount of the next light to the room. The low maximum brightness is especially terrible given $ 300 Msi Mag 274UURFW He is Vesa Displayhdr 400 Certified, as well as $ 349 Asus Roj Strix XG27UCS – They will not provide a great HDR experience, but they will reach at least 400 groups and pack the same specifications.

Viewsonic uses a very effective coating to combat tingling on the plate, but this has an unintended side effect to harm the corners of viewing. Looking at the dead screen is great, but watching from the top, bottom or from both sides washes the image. This is an important important consideration of Multimonitor settings or out of the center.

For the price, there are a lot of games with brand brands with ASUS, Acer and Amazon brands only effectively Ktc and Coroy. I will not be surprised if they all use the IPS itself. The fact is that Viewsonic XG275D-4K is fine, and although it is accurate for colors outside the box, it is simply more expensive and not bright like competition. Even 1080 pixels, 320 Hz is not unique; Most related screens can withdraw this trick. Unless you find it for about 350 dollars, players who are looking forward to getting the utmost benefit from money elsewhere.

How to test the screens

All measurements are made using the latest version of Calman Ultimate’s Display’s Display Programs, X-RITE i1display Pro Plus (renamed as the Colibrite Colorchecker in addition to HL), and a variety of guaranteed correction groups. An additional HDR test is done using a Murideo six g Patterns and/or customer styles 3 HDR within Calman. We periodically verify the accuracy of the color scale against Konica Minolta CS-20000 Spectrum scale TV test.

The basic tests – those we run on each screen, regardless of the intention or price – include:

• The white point, brightness (peak and minimum), contrast and GAMMA for SRGB and the original color space across 21 gray (0 to 100 %), were reported to the nearest 50 thousand if there are no major differences. Excessive or minus variation is 200,000 about the target color temperature is acceptable to everyone except for the most stringent offers.
• Cover the colors and accuracy of SRGB and the original color space using the standard pantone correction collection, as well as gray and skin stains.
• Add Blip binding‘ Movement tests For games watchers to judge artifacts (such as shades) or update rate problems.
