Viewsonic VX2739wm 27-inch LCD Monitor with a Greater Ability


With the VX2739wm Viewsonic will soon offer a new device in the 27-inch class. In addition to the 1080p resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), it advertises the manufacturer with an incredibly low reaction time of 1 millisecond. To achieve this value, View Sonic is forced to the TN-established technique. While this has disadvantages for color fastness, but allows low reaction times at a reasonable price - in the case for about 350 €.

Viewsonic VX2739wm Test - the equipment

Because of the Bildschirmdiagone of 27 "in 16:9 format screen is significantly larger than the established monitors games, the 22-inch class. The device with dimensions of 648 x 490 x 251Millimeter sets around on plastic, some with piano-black finish - a few silver applications yet keeps a certain value. On the front, only the power switch is located, the controls for the OSD are on the right. On the back of the connections are right and left to stand next to the base bracket. With a classic D-Sub connector is equipped with the VX2739wm also each have a HDMI and a DVI port - adds two audio ports, USB ports, speakers and power supply. The processing is priced according to the unspectacular. The only setting for the monitor position, the device offers a tilt of -5 to +20 degrees.



Viewsonic VX2739wm Test - the image quality

In terms of image quality must be at TN devices generally take a cut in - this technique is not designed for image processing and color fastness is usually not on the program, in comparison to the competition but still refer to as well. Even with a cheap tool for color calibration can enhance its earnings - for amateur photographers, it is still useful as a last resort, this little player is interested or not at all. The brightness distribution of the Viewsonic VX2739wm is acceptable - the deviation from the center is 15 to 17 percent and falls with the naked eye to spot. FYI: LCDs use a few lights and "distribution areas" to provide every possible area with light. This can lead to big savings for measures to strong differences in brightness, which can show as dark areas. The Viewsonic VX2739wm is in this discipline, however, no problems.
Something you have to make compromises on the other hand in the interpolation, no matter whether you work with native aspect ratio, or whether you want to work in 4:3 mode, fonts are represented mostly faded, at least on one axis. The result is not catastrophic, but tend to be more satisfactory - so anyone who often want to play at lower resolutions, we recommend to perform the device. Also in line is the power consumption of 48 watts at full brightness, it goes back to around 2 watts in standby mode. As the viewing angle of 170/160 degrees are Viewsonic, these data confirm we certainly, as even a very steep angles, the image is not extreme loss in quality. Also positive is the brightness range, the display adjusts 35-310 Candela, it can thus be prepared for all game situations - only in direct sunlight is not enough from the maximum brightness.

Viewsonic VX2739wm Test - the reaction rate

The maximum reaction rate can rise to say the least no joy. With the maximum setting, although available in the real world no 1-millisecond values, and you end up in about 10 milliseconds, but the bow waves and artifacts, especially brightness transitions are ugly. Playable, yes, nice to look at, no. Luckily, you can manually select between three settings. In the slowest setting, the display is around 27 milliseconds, fast-moving streaks are visible. In the central position it has minimal artifacts, but also a minimal streaks - in numbers are located at 14 to 17 milliseconds. If you choose the moderate reaction rate, making even fast shooters or racing games fun - with this attitude is the Viewsonic VX2739wm fully suitable for games.
FYI: In order to achieve the very low reaction times, have TN panels use the overdrive technology. Here, the pixels of the panel are artificially controlled in order to turn quickly - trying to anticipate the electronics, the pixel is changed soon. Too stark settings, this leads to incorrect calculations and the aforementioned contrast edges. In theory, it is true values ​​by 1 millisecond possible in practice would be to not do such a distorted picture, however.


Viewsonic VX2739wm Test - Conclusion

The new 16:9 screen from Viewsonic has not completely what it says on the marketing department, but this is the gambler does not matter - the values ​​are achieved even when playing fast and perfectly acceptable, the picture quality is good. Only the interpolation and the facilities might be successful. The device will probably come for 350 € on the market, the street price is expected to carry out level at 300 € - an acceptable price, but also with broad-based competition.
