You are not going to buy this monitor for gaming, period. Going straight from the ROG Swift PG279Q to the VP2780-4K was jarring, but I had to do it.

The ROG Swift PG279Q has a native resolution of 2560x1440, but with a huge 165Hz refresh rate - and is also backed up by NVIDIA's G-Sync technology. Gaming on the ViewSonic VP2780-4K was nowhere near as good as our last review - which just so happened to be the insane ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q. The additional USB 3.0 ports come in handy for plugging in the mouse and keyboard, so you're not jumping all over your desk reaching to the back of your tower, or side of your laptop. The adjustable stand was great, as I was able to throw the VP2780-4K into portrait for some portrait work, and swivel it down to landscape once I was finished, in a breeze. For the general use, I watched Netflix on it, worked on it (reading and writing through Word/Chrome all day) and light Photoshop use.

OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home - Buy from AmazonĪs usual, I set up the ViewSonic VP2780-4K on my desk and used it for around two weeks with general use and this time - only light gaming.
