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.
