ViewSonic has announced a new 28″ 4K monitor that has a 3840 x 2160 resolution. The monitor, called the VX2880ml, is built with a TN panel that has a static contrast ratio of 1000:1. It has a brightness of about 300 cd/m2, and a 5 ms response time. Viewing angles are 170 degrees along the horizontal plane, while the vertical viewing angle is 160 degrees. ViewSonic indicated that connectivity on the monitor will be achieved by an MHL-enabled HDMI port, DisplayPort, and a mini DisplayPort interface. Unfortunately, the company did not say which versions these are. Also built into the monitor are two 2 W speakers.
“As 4K content continues to emerge and entertainment and other demanding visual applications become more progressive, there is a compelling need for premium UHD resolution displays,” said Kenneth Mau, senior product marketing manager at ViewSonic Corp. “To satisfy 4K content developers, graphic designers, CAD, and other advanced applications requiring an extreme high resolution, the VX2880ml 4K resolution display delivers the highest level of details in an affordable yet stunning form factor.”
All in all, this certainly won’t be the best 4K monitor out there, but if your main focus is obtaining massive desktop real estate, this one might be worth having a look at if it’s competatively priced.
MSRP pricing for the monitor is set at $831 with availability slated for the end of July.
