Great monitor if you have the horsepower to run it

It was a fairly quick setup and works well. Absolutely stunning for daily use like office productivity apps, school or work, internet browsing and YouTube.
Your gaming experience may or may not be improved over 1080p resolution monitors. This ViewSonic runs at 2560x1440 (2K, WQHD) and in gaming mode requires both the graphics card and CPU power to push. Check your system specifications before you buy because it could actually look worse than a 1080p display. That said, with enough horsepower, you can hit insane FPS - I maxed it out around 190+ in Battlefield V and it looked flawless.
The reason for 4 stars is because it's really heavy and takes up a fair amount of desk space. Also, the OSD is a little confusing and RGB can be distracting - turned off the front lighting immediately because it illuminated my desk way too much.
In summary, if you have the system to run it and enough desk space, it's a good monitor off sale and an amazing deal on sale! Trust the ViewSonic brand - I've been using the them for over twenty years in both commercial and consumer environments, and have 5 installed in my home right now. No failures in all that time and every other one was donated still functioning, some at the 8-year mark. My family loves ViewSonic.
