There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used. The unit works with (PC) Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 certified and is also power Mac. Audio out is via earphone out x 1 (3.5mm plug). Net with stand is 6.2kg, that’s less than 7-bags of sugar, pretty sweet. The monitor we reviewed had no dead pixels on it. It has a slight amount of IPS glow present towards the edges that are only visible when you are in dark areas of a game or movie. It is tolerable and is also common in all IPS monitors.

The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display.ViewSonic’s ViewMode includes optimised ‘Game’, ‘Movie’, ‘Web’, ‘Text’, ‘Mono’ and ‘Mac’ presets… which is arguably rather more than anyone would bother switching between, but is a nice option to have. In the course of normal usage, it’s fine to just leave the unit on Text. Adobe RGB (1998) is a color space, developed by Adobe Systems in 1998. It has a wider gamut than the sRGB (mainly in the cyan-green range of colors) and is widely used in professional printing. The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene.

The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.

Reports

Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²). The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively. This monitor has a brightness level of 250-nits and a contrast ratio of 1200:1. The brightness of this monitor should be sufficient for most environments. Unless you’re using it in very bright conditions, you won’t have any issues. The contrast level of this monitor is better than other IPS monitors in its price range. The colors pop out and make images appear full of life. Information about the average amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another.
