Colour Wizard

Viewsonic is one of the most popular specialist display manufacturers, and of late, they have been focussing on commercial and educational monitors in addition to general and professional models. Their VP series of monitors are professional displays falling in Viewsonic’s ColorPro line-up meant for colour-critical applications like photo, video editing and graphic design. The VP2785-4K is the 4K version of the earlier 2K monitor of the same designation.

Design & Build Quality

The VP2785-4K is sleek and lightweight by the standards of some 4K photography and design monitors. The device is lightweight, but unlike most other similar monitors, this one needs a screwdriver to mount it on the stand with four screws holding it. It is VESA 100 x 100 compatible for wall mounting. The stand has a simple design with a slot (a vertical slit, rather) for cable management. Viewsonic does not provide a shading hood, and the monitor does not have slots to install a hood. The anti-glare backlit display does not require one, but it would have helped in managing ambient lighting better.

Key Features

The 27-inch VP2785 offers 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution at a pixel density of 163 pixels per inch. The IPS TFT Active Matrix LCD offers a peak brightness of 350 cd/m2 and contrast ratio of 1000:1. It supports a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees both ways, a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz and response time of 14 ms. The panel is stated to reproduce 100 percent Adobe RGB and 96 percent DCI-P3 gamut, making it ideal for professional photographers and graphic designers.
