ViewSonic 28″ 150Hz 4K Gaming Monitor Released

PS5 Ready ViewSonic 28" 150Hz 4K Gaming Monitor Released

Viewsonic has just revealed their new NV2882-4KP gaming monitor. It’s a PC gaming monitor, offering a 4K resolution and a refresh rate of 150Hz. That’s a strange refresh rate, given that 144hz, and 160hz are more commonplace, but from what we understand that is the real refresh rate and not an overclocked number.

The monitor deploys one of their latest IPS panels, which means you get great colours right out of the box; DCI-P3: 90%, sRGB: 122%. It’s an 8bit panel, (6bit + FRC) that can deliver 300 cd/m2 brightness and HDR10 support. It’s not exactly the most impressive ever, but honestly, it’s still pretty decent in the grand scheme of things. Resolution and refresh rate are the key focus though.

The design is pretty toned down, which I rather like, as many gaming monitors are a little “loud” looking and can be somewhat distracting. That’s my opinion though, as I spend equal amounts of time working on my monitors as I do gaming. What I do like, however, is that while it’ll work on PC, it’s been certified as PS5 ready thanks to the HDMSI 2.1 port, AMD FreeSync Premium, HDR10, and higher refresh rate, meaning it can take full advantage of the next-gen console. In all fairness, the same will be true of the Xbox Series X too.

What ViewSonic Had to Say

“The ViewSonic VX2882-4KP features a 28” pixel dense 4K Ultra HD IPS display. An ultrafast HDMI 2.1 connection allows you to maximize gameplay across PC and Console, providing high-speed bandwidth for 4K gaming at up to 150Hz. Experience incredible colors, contrasts, and detail on the IPS display that renders your games with ultimate clarity. A rapid 150Hz refresh rate enables smooth graphics and AMD FreeSync™ Premium virtually eliminates screen tearing and stuttering by synchronizing your GPU and monitors outputs. A 1ms MPRT response time delivers images without ghosting or lag so you can game with precision. Flexible connectivity via DisplayPort, HDMI and USB-C make connections to other peripherals or high-end graphics cards for gaming a breeze. The VX2882-4KP is also equipped with ViewSonic’s exclusive ViewMode™ presets, which offer user-customized game modes, including FPS, RTS and MOBA game settings.” – ViewSonic

Price

The monitor sports good connectivity, built-in speakers, USB C support, and a decent range of features. However, at around $830 it’s not the most competitive option out there. It’ll be interesting to see how that panel performs too, as it’s quite an oddity.
