ViewSonic VX2779-HD-PRO Monitor Review: Work and Play

The ViewSonic VX2779-HD-PRO is a 27-inch Full HD (1920×1080) monitor designed for gamers. It has several features highly desired by gamers, including a high refresh rate of 180Hz, a rapid 1ms MPRT response time, and compatibility with AMD FreeSync technology. These features make it a strong contender for gamers on a budget who want smooth, tear-free visuals.

WHAT WE LIKE

The VX2779-HD-PRO monitor has several impressive features, making it an excellent choice for gaming, creative work, and entertainment. Firstly, it has a high refresh rate of 180Hz, making visuals appear silky smooth, especially in fast-paced games like Vanquish or Apex Legends. The 1ms MPRT response time ensures sharp visuals during intense action sequences by minimizing ghosting and blurring.

Secondly, this monitor utilizes an IPS panel, offering wide viewing angles and good colour accuracy with 104% sRGB coverage. Therefore, it provides vibrant and accurate colours and a great viewing experience regardless of the activity.

The monitor also supports HDR10, which may not be as impressive as high-end displays but still offers improved contrast and colour depth compared to standard monitors.

Additionally, the AMD FreeSync technology synchronizes the monitor’s refresh rate with compatible AMD graphics cards, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering for a more fluid gaming experience.

Lastly, it has two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.2, allowing flexibility when connecting different devices. The monitor also includes features like a Blue Light Filter and Flicker-Free technology to reduce eye strain during extended gaming sessions.

DOWNSIDE

The first downside is that the monitor only offers Full HD resolution, which may need more for some users. Those who prefer sharper visuals should consider a higher resolution, such as 1440p, especially if they are going with a 27-inch display.

Regarding HDR performance, it’s worth noting that this monitor has some limitations compared to high-end options. While it supports HDR, the peak brightness is lower than you might find on more expensive displays. Additionally, this monitor doesn’t have local dimming technology, which can help to improve contrast and overall picture quality when displaying HDR content.

It’s worth noting that the speakers built into monitors are often not as powerful as standalone speakers. This holds true for the monitor you are using as well. To get the most out of your audio experience, it’s recommended that you use headphones or external speakers.

VERDICT

The ViewSonic VX2779-HD-PRO is a great choice for budget-conscious gamers who want a responsive and smooth gaming monitor. It has a high refresh rate, quick response time and is compatible with AMD FreeSync, making it perfect for competitive games. However, consider other options if you prioritize high resolution, premium design, or exceptional HDR performance.

LG G2 OLED TV Hands-On: A Window to the Future

Everyone loves to watch movies on a larger screen, and experiencing a theatre-like atmosphere is everyone’s biggest desire. One of the TVs we received was the massive 97-inch slim OLED TV at our office! The picture quality is fantastic and looks sleek and modern. However, we were surprised to learn about its cost. The TV we received costs more than a modern-day top-of-the-line family car, with a whopping price tag of ₹20,49,990. You may be curious about the luxury TV and the company that manufactures it. The TV is created by a well-known brand that dominates the market. It is from LG, specifically the top-of-the-line G2 OLED model. I made sure it had the giant 97-inch OLED panel in the thinnest body, which transformed the office/home into a movie theatre and improved the aesthetics of the space.

The problem with reviewing such massive premium TVs is you get lost while experiencing content, so you forget that you’re supposed to be working and end up just watching TV for hours. That’s what happened to me with the LG G2 OLED TV. Perhaps not my most productive work moment, but it says a lot about this TV.

LG’s G2 OLED TV is its top-of-the-line model, featuring a 97-inch OLED panel. LG is a big proponent of OLED technology, and the G2 aims to be the best 4K TV available from LG. It is likely the most expensive 4K TV on the market. G2 is the second generation OLED TV from LG, and the most significant improvement is the brightness level, which has been upgraded over the previous generation G1.

Although the TV shares the same ‘Gallery’ design name as its G1 predecessors, it actually looks completely different: gone is the dark frame and chamfered edges, it is a nifty two-layer effect with a thin black rear ‘slab’, and the screen encased in an opulent-looking silver metal coat. The bezel is so thin that LG decided not to put any logo on the front.

The television stands out due to its OLED panel. The panel offers a nearly infinite contrast ratio that displays deep blacks, which makes it an excellent choice for watching movies in a dark room. Additionally, the panel is exceptionally bright for an OLED TV, making it a perfect choice for watching TV shows in a brightly lit room. Because of its OLED technology, the TV provides an incredibly wide viewing angle, making it a suitable option for a place with a broad seating arrangement. With a 120Hz refresh rate, it’s also an excellent choice for use as a PC monitor and provides an outstanding gaming experience overall. Furthermore, it supports GeForce Gsync, making it the preferred choice for gamers.

Performance-wise, LG decided to give it a powerful (alpha)α9 Gen5 AI Processor with AI Picture Pro & AI 4K Upscaling. The processor delivers a few extra improvements to LG’s picture quality for good measure. Upscaling of sub-4K video to actual 4K video without adding noise, and the results look remarkably more polished and sharp.

Like other LG TVs, it uses the webOS smart interface. It is one of LG’s most reliable operating systems on its smart TVs. It does support major streaming apps like Netflix and Apple TV+. So you don’t have to rely on a 3rd party smart dongle.

Audio performance is among the most impressive features of the LG G2 OLED TV. It encourages the setup of AI Sound Pro, which upgrades the set’s standard 2.1 stereo to virtual 5.1 surround sound, effectively adding dimension and height to the audio. Listening to Songs with AI Sound Pro emphasized the vocal’s megaphone effect, creating a stadium concert atmosphere in our testing studio.

In conclusion, the OLED G2 is undoubtedly LG’s best OLED TV to date. It has shown a significant improvement over its predecessor, the G1. The added brightness enhances everything from standard HD videos to stunning 4K HDR and the latest graphically advanced games on consoles and PCs. The best part is that the increased brightness is not forced or unnecessary. It blends in seamlessly without making anything look artificial.
