so the left of me here is the viewsonic 32 inch 4k monitor that is aimed at professionals however the everywhere I turn there seems to be this stigma going on that this monitor is not for gamers and I'm disagreeing with that because I'm here to tell you that this monitor is phenomenal for gaming when I put this thing through a thousand FPS testing and yes I can now test it a thousand FPS I figured out the settings on my beautiful 4k camera I was blown away this thing was giving me input lag of like sub twenty milliseconds from the mouse click to the total time it took the actual screen to change in csgo and as you can see in this video by the time my finger from slamming it so hard is bouncing up off the mouse this thing is giving out a response absolutely phenomenal low input lag so it does have three input lag levels and this is on the ultra fast setting which I recommend everyone keep on and it's on by default by the way now with response times as well you're probably thinking this is an IPS panel and it has ghosting and yes it does exhibit a little bit of ghosting but it isn't bad if you set this to the fastest ultra fast response time I found the ghosting was actually quite decent especially for a beautiful IPS panel like this however of course the downside is it doesn't feature any variable refresh rate technology like freesync or g-sync but if you guys have followed me for a while you'll know that I prefer in sync I mean no sync welcome back to tech yes it is brian coming to you guys today with the review and as I said the intro this thing it can do gaming absolutely fine however it is geared up towards professional use when I tested this with the ex rack controller here it gave out phenomenal results of course the monitor to the left here being calibrated by ex right professional tools themselves I found there was virtually no difference when I tried to do the tests with the I wan display Pro so everything on this monitor out of the box with the srgb profile is ready to go so if you're a professional video editor or if you're a professional photographer and you need color accuracy then this thing out of the box will give you just that however one thing I will critique is that the brightness out of the factory is set to a hundred it is practically too bright for anyone for any professional use out of the box I found I was getting over three hundred thirty CCD of brightness and honestly I had to back it down to around about fifty which then gave me around 180 CCD so this is where I like to use it personally it isn't really in that professional field of 80 to 120 though of course if you want that field that you can drop it down to 30 and it will give you those levels you so desire if you need them also further on the note of color calibration not only is every individual monitor calibrated out of the factory with the 32 68 4k but you also get an individual report as well so not only is it properly calibrated out of factory but it's also quality checked as well and look at the surface of the monitor itself it features a matte anti-glare coating it's a 3h rating honestly sunlight will not be a problem with this monitor if you use it in an environment like mine at the moment where I've got no blinds to control light then this monitor is great for still getting a very clear picture as opposed to a gloss panel which although looks great in complete darkness in the sunlight it does suffer this thing here even though it's got that matte coating still gives through a beautiful picture as well so they've used an excellent anti-glare coating on this monitor however the uniformity of the luminance was lit across the panel very evenly near perfect and the backlight bleeding was very minimal and cross-hatching as well when i pulled up an orange background I saw no there's a cross-hatching as well so this is 60 Hertz 4k now the display ports you've got to one mini and also one full-sized 1.2 display ends and also two HDMI 2.0 ends as well there's also four USB three outs which can connect to your computer via USB B and give you those four ports that you can use if you need them now besides the four display ins and four USB outs it also has a line out and audio out Jack as well so you can use it with headphones plug in direct to the monitor if cable management's a problem or also give a line out to a separate receiver there is also as well built-in speakers that surprisingly didn't sound too half bad I mean you could use these speakers for clutch video editing especially for smartphones and still get decent results of course the bass isn't there how not having a subwoofer but the sound was actually quite surprisingly good however what else does the ViewSonic 3268 4k give you well the included stand is quite simply the best stand I've seen in my life to date it's actually replacing my 21 by 9 Samsung monitor which is phenomenal for gaming but when it comes to 4k video editing I think I need a 4k monitor which I used before the 21 by 9 Samsung so this monitor here the stand will go 90 degrees pivot it'll go 120 degrees swivel it also is able to be adjusted height wise from 510 mil from the top of the monitor up to 640 ml so a 130 mil of height adjustment with this monitor is included now the finish on the stand is a matte finish with a slight bit of gloss with the viewsonic label very subtle look is very clean and then the monitor itself has a matte finish with a near bezel list design it's about half an inch and so when I measured it you do get 31 and a half inches of viewable display so they are telling you on the box and you are getting exactly just that of course the monitor being 32 inches from the end of the bezel diagonally to the other end of the bezel though further going into this monitor of course it's 4k IPS is not VA is not TN the included stand is phenomenal the design is very clean though what is wrong with this monitor is there anything that's wrong with this monitor well honestly the one thing that I don't like is the on-screen display it's got five buttons on the back and I found it a little bit tedious to control especially coming from the Samsung 21 by nine which only has one button with four directions I'd like to see viewsonic changes in the future because this is obviously changing from five buttons to one button and it makes things very easy to use I had a bit of a tough time using the on-screen display but there were so many different options on this monitor to choose from so basically you could go in change response times change the input lag you also had picture in picture mode and the ability to split the monitor into different sections there's HDR 10 supported as well and there's also the ability for overscan and of course contrast and brightness control and you can change the profiles to many different professional settings of course out of the box as I said before comes with the srgb format but there's a lot of different formats to choose from so I didn't really like the OSD a whole lot but to be honest once you set everything up it's not going to be such a problem as you do have your custom profile so if you want to set one up for photo editing and then one for watching movies then you can change that on the fly with relative ease of course are there any other catches with this monitor well not a whole lot I mean the panel itself is 8 bit plus frc so it's not a true 10 bit display though honestly if you guys want to step it up to a 10 bit display you're looking at a very expensive workflow not only just with the monitor itself which will be amplitudes more expensive than this monitor but you've got to get the graphics card and of course the whole workflow to support that memory cards the right camera with 10 bit support and it will cost you a lot of money though this monitor itself it comes in currently at 1,300 Australian dollars or if you in the US you can currently pick it up on Amazon for around about 860 US so what you're getting for the money out of the box is something that comes color calibrated and it has all the specs to match what you would need out of a professional-grade video editing monitor or photo editing or print press monitor if you so wish and here's where things get a little bit weird because even though this monitor as I said before is geared up towards 4k professional work it actually doubles down as a phenomenal gaming monitor and your probably thinking oh well color accuracy I'm not too keen on color accuracy as a gamer I want saturated colors let me tell you guys this thing color accurate or not is a phenomenal monitor for game it's so sharp the colors do indeed pop if you want them to so you just turn up the brightness a little bit if you want to start gaming and it's even got gaming profiles locked in that'll give you that saturated look if you so wish so it does have all the perks of being a great secondary gaming one low input lag great response times for an IPS panel which on the box are measured at 14 milliseconds great are great you probably thinking oh that's a horrible number especially when 10 is boasting 2 milliseconds of one millisecond and the bottom line is some manufacturers honestly state their greater great response times and some just buff it up according to one point that they did in their tests via sonica giving you guys an honest grader gray response time and I really respect that and honestly after looking at this monitor I'm shocked I want to see what their gaming monitors would be like because to me this is what a gamer would need low input lag great response times if you Sonic have done a great job with this monitor at aiming it towards professionals but also having those features there for gamers and I've got myself now a new 4k video editing monitor that is going to replace my Samsung monitor and yes the Samsung monitor will be sorely missed and I do love that for gaming but the problem is not all games support 21 by 9 and even if they do they stretch the image out and then of course when it comes to 4k video editing this thing has more screen real estate and a 4k screen capture has never been easier perhaps I should make a separate video with 21 by 9 ultra wide versus 16 by 9 4k if you guys want to see that let me know in the comment section below and of course with this being an IPS panel the viewing angles are phenomenal birth on the horizontal and vertical planes they beat that of both a VA and a tan panel also with this monitor itself there is no dead pixels and I do believe viewsonic offer a very solid warranty with this monitor for three years in Australia and New Zealand I'm not sure about other parts in the world though there are these guys I hope you enjoyed today's review this is the 32 inch 4k viewsonic monitor let me know in the comments section below have you tried a viewsonic monitor before if so what was your experience like if not would you like to try one this one to the left of me although it's geared up towards professionals and yes the cost is a little bit expensive what you're getting for the money is phenomenal if you are in a video editing for instance in the past you guys have probably noticed some of my edits have come out very weird on the 21 by 9 some people went as far as to say that I looked like a lobster on-screen and my friend came over and showed me on his smartphone I was like damn I do look like a lobster and when I was editing on the 21 by 9 I was like hey this looks all right looks pretty saturated looks pretty good how do I have this monitor edit that video there would have been no lobsters coming out on screen the only way back on point this is my first view sonic monitor and I'm already blown away by this thing I'm looking forward to seeing what some of their dedicated gaming monitors can do and I'll give you guys a review of that if one comes through and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye now with the monitors surface itself this is really good if you're working in daylight or sunblock and I do believe viewsonic offer a very solid wine or tea with this monitor but there are these guys there it is the viewsonic 32 inch 4k monitor oh yeah there it is the
