Foreword:
In this era of rapid advancement in technology, computers are not as much focused on host performance as they used to be. Instead, more attention is paid to the display. An excellent monitor is not only attractive in appearance, but also important in performance. ! Most families now have children just like me. Today's children are very clever, and they can skillfully operate computers (operate mouse keyboards, play mini-games) when they are around 5-6 years old. Playing computers for a long time is bound to be harmful to the glasses. Among them, monitors must account for certain factors. Of course, if you use your computer unrestrainedly, even if you spend 10,000 yuan on the display, it will have an impact on the glasses. ViewSonic displays, I won't say much about this brand, I started to know about computers. It has, in recent years, that most of the ViewSonic monitors have a blue light-resistant and non-glittering design, which is why I have a keen interest in it.
ViewSonic VX2776-smhd, from the model is not difficult to see that this is a 27-inch display, 27-inch for the vast majority is pretty much just a little, just too big to visit the web or do the map will become a "shaking head fan" Of course, watching is like watching a movie person except; down is 24 inches, so acceptable but always feel a bit behind the times, this monitor is another major feature is the use of ultra-thin design (thickness of the display), although ultra-thin design can not be fundamental The solution to the space occupied by the desktop, but in the visual sense gives people a very sophisticated and technical sense.
I would like to thank the ZOL leaders for giving me this opportunity before the demo!
In terms of packaging, the logos of the three Hu-birds are particularly eye-catching, which makes many 80 players feel intimacy, including me; the "SUPER CLEAR" in the upper right corner indicates that this is an ultra-wide-angle technology monitor when the monitor It also shows brilliant colors when rotated.
ViewSonic's WeChat account number and aftermarket hotlines in various regions pointed to “low power consumption, power consumption ratio is 1.05 (cd/W), and power consumption is 0.5W when the monitor is off.
The certification of the display LOGO, not much to explain here we can Baidu.
The monitor and accessories are placed separately. The advantage of placing each position in each attachment is that it will not be displaced during transportation. Such a packaging method is also commonly used by most manufacturers.
Attachments: HDMI1, VGA1, power adapter and supporting power cord, audio output 1, manual warranty card.
VX2776-smhd adopts external power supply, although it is small but not integrated in the monitor, it is a little small regret. Shenzhen Oulutong foundry, voltage 19V 2.1A.
Triangular frosted metal base material, LOGO mirrored and covered with a protective film.
After the installation is completed, the process is still relatively fast; the front panel has no front frame design, and the silver trim at the bottom of the panel echoes with the metal base, which greatly improves the overall coordination and aesthetics.
The main features of the VX2776-smhd are IPS hard screen, low-radiation, non-flash screen technology, Blu-ray filtering, HDMI interface support, DP interface support, and multimedia logo. If these logos are a bit unsightly, you can tear them off.
"Thin" has always been the goal pursued by the mobile phone industry. Now it is used in displays. The thickness of the iPhone 6S is 7.1mm, and the thickness of this monitor is only 6.6mm, so that I worry about it when I install the monitor. Broken.
The back of the VX2776- smhd shows that some people will find that the display has no cooling holes. In fact, for such a low power consumption, the amount of heat that can be generated is minimal; a high-gloss molding process trim strip crosses the back of the display to form a The more obvious dividing line, although the high-light injection molding process will be more beautiful, but the drawback is easy to collect hand lines, but fortunately is located in the back, I personally feel this highlight with a little extra, if you choose silver metal and the panel before the call Should, improve the overall grade.
In the lower left corner is the nameplate of the monitor, which is marked with a serial number, a two-dimensional code, and a production date.
Interface, DP, HDMI, VGA each provide an interface, audio provides two interfaces, green audio output (connected to audio headphones), green audio input (if the user's host only VGA interface then you want the monitor to have sound You must connect the audio input port. Nowadays, mainstream graphics cards use DP or HDMI interfaces.
The bottom is provided with ribs and four non-slip mats, which can provide maximum stability for the display. There are two SRS sounds built into the bottom of the screen. The treble crisp and bright bass lacks a sense of thickness, and there is a certain gap compared to the 2.1 external sound. It is inevitable, but at least it can meet the needs of the general public.
Controls provide six buttons, each corresponding to a graphic for easy operation.
The VX2776-smhd can adjust the supine angle according to the user's situation to improve the sitting posture, but it is a pity that it does not have a lifting function.
At the start of operation, the monitor's silver and chassis silver are very rich in modern metal sense. For more and more players in modern home computers, they begin to pay attention to the appearance, just like me is completely a "face control."
Host configuration:
CPU: I7-4790k
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI Edition Memory: Kingston 16G 2400MHz
Graphics card: GALAXY GTX970 black hard drive: GALAXY GAMER512G SSD +2T detail mechanical hard disk power: ANTEC EDGE550W full-mode power supply chassis: Qiao Sibo RM3
Keyboard: G80-3000
Mouse: Func MS-3 R2 (Foreign brand, not sold domestically, feels good but only suitable for large players)
In terms of power consumption, when the brightness of the display is 0%, the power consumption is only 9.89W, 50% is 15.24W, and the 100% brightness is less than 21W; the lower the power consumption, the lower the heat generation, which leads to why The reason that this display has no cooling holes is that 9W power consumption is rare in many displays. Not to mention the 27-inch size, the VX2776-smhd is really excellent.
The OSD setting interface is generally rich in options. For example, color temperature, color space, dynamic contrast, blue light filtering, color range, and audio can all be set individually. However, the audio is set in the menu and it is very inconvenient to adjust it. Since the monitor has built-in speakers, I think it should be set for the volume alone in the display below the two physical keys to facilitate the operation, or suddenly pop up at night XX game ad window will be scary.
On the left side of the button is a game quick selection mode function. Through this button, you can select the appropriate color mode to optimize the picture and improve the advantage in the competitive game.
There are a total of seven options for the default value, the more commonly used GAMER three options, FPS (first-person design) class two, RTS (real-time strategy) class and MOBA (team sports such as dota, LOL).
I took a simple test with the FPS mode. Figure 1 shows the standard colors. After the FPS1 is turned on, the shadows on the screen are obviously more layered than the standard colors. It is easy to find enemies hiding in the grass or in the corners. It is dark at night. The environment is more obvious (in the menu, adjusting the black stability can achieve this effect); Figure 3 shows that after turning on FPS2 mode is a mass of black, which is why, it is clear that FPS2 is used in an overexposed environment In the same way as in the real environment, people's eyes look very clear at the opposite side of the backlight. At this time, choosing the FPS2 mode can be a very good optimization of this point, so what kind of environment is the choice of what kind of mode is the magic weapon .
In addition to the relevant modes in the game, ViewSonic's monitor OSD menu provides the use of environmental modes such as picture mode, webpage mode, text mode MAC mode, and medical grayscale mode. Take the text mode for example, it can improve the contrast of colors. Makes the eyes less prone to fatigue when reading text. The medical grayscale mode will make the screen appear gray and can observe smaller details. Therefore, most people don't use it, and the MAC mode does not tell the truth.
The VX2776- smhd uses a third-generation Blu-ray filtering technology (hardware filtering) that filters out the harmful blue light in the monitor, leaving only the blue level that is beneficial to humans. The test ranges from 0% to 100% in five stages, 100%. The most obvious place after the filter is the blue paint on the body and the jeans of the beautiful woman. After filtering out, the overall color is warmer but still retains a good degree of color. Compared with the previous several filter blue technologies, there is no small improvement.
The splash screen is generally invisible to the naked eye. Long-term use of a splash screen will affect the user’s vision. The video screen function on the mobile phone can be used to observe the splash screen frequency in the monitor. This monitor uses the video function to observe the monitor. If you don't see it, it doesn't mean that the splash screen is still working.
VX2776-smhd adopts IPS hard screen to provide 178° wide viewing angle. This configuration has become the standard for mainstream displays. Its advantage is that it also provides more realistic colors when the monitor is tilted. The old LCD panel will cause dull colors when tilted. The phenomenon of color cast distortion; from the above figure, the color rendering for each angle is more abundant.
The contrast between the colors and the original image shows that the difference between the two is negligible. It is very difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. Only the distinction between light and shade makes the color performance of the VX2776-smhd still outstanding.
Through the above tests, I have learned that the color of this display is excellent, but as the designer of me, the color accuracy of the picture is more important, so here I use the 5th generation of Starscream to benchmark it.
In terms of color gamut, the results obtained are 96% sRGB and 74% AdobeRGB coverage, which is good as a midrange monitor color gamut.
The photometric test result is 2.0, gamma=2.2 is the standard value, and the black line coincides with the blue line. This performance is normal.
The brightness and color temperature of each stage, the maximum brightness of 201% at 100% brightness, why this monitor is so energy-efficient, can be seen from this point; color temperature performance is good, there is no change in each stage, and very far from the standard 6500K Close to.
In the color uniformity test, the smaller the value is, the closer to the D65 standard value. The best place for the uniform brightness value is the middle of the display (close to D65), and the largest is 15% at the upper right of the display. The brightness uniformity is good; the color uniformity test is performed. Near the D65 is also located in the upper right of the display, the maximum value of 2.9, the color brightness uniformity test results are excellent.
Color Accuracy Test, Delta-E
The above test results scored 3.5 points (out of 5 points). From the above figure, you can see that this display is amazing with excellent color performance, full color gamut, and color uniformity and color accuracy of 4.5 points. It shows the main reason why there is no deviation in color from the original image, and the overall test result is the middle and upper level.
Before and after school color comparison, there is no deviation in color accuracy, but the saturation and lightness are adjusted accordingly.
My three ViewSonic monitors, VX2776-smhd (27 inches)→VA2349S (23 inches)→VA2026W (20 inches)
"Assassin's Creed: Revolution" This game came out for a while. Because of work, it hasn't had time to play. Before playing "Assassin's Creed: The Black Flag," it can be said to be a pleasure to play. The last four big bosses were also killed. To be honest, the black flag did a very good job; this time, the VX2776-smhd monitor has experienced the revolution, and now it has played to 30%. I also have a sense of playing with these two versions. In the black flag, the character has to be wildly wild, even if it is confined by a hundred people, it can also lead to a bloody road; while the role in the Great Revolution must be much more rigorous, and more will be accomplished by assassination. A small mistake will lead to many The enemy, the last smoke bomb was directly smashed by the group. What I can't bear most is that when the smoke bomb was released, some of its enemies could still hide bullets. I was really silent, but then the picture of the Great Revolution was much better.
"Crysis 3" graphics killer, when playing this game can not touch the night rain scene, or dizzy ~ ~ ~ ~ may be too beautiful picture.
"Resident Evil 6" has been cleared, personal feeling more and more outrageous, where is the zombies, clearly the bandit bandits ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Well, I still wait for Resident Evil 7 it.
"Wizard 3" is based on a novel adaptation. I like the storyline of this game. I have been searching for my daughter and I have been playing cards for an old lover haha. The environment time system is a good design and I don't like the game's equipment system and skill system.
to sum up:
Experienced for a few days, this monitor gave me a deep impression. It is the thinnest display I have ever seen. It is difficult to observe from the side that its thickness is almost flat. This kind of display is suitable for home use. Silver panel edge Bars and metal bases have a sense of tacitness, and with the silver chassis will make the overall value of the value greatly improved; this ViewSonic VX2776-smhd uses IPS panel with 1080P resolution and a wide viewing angle of 178 °, passed the test has 96% of the sRGB color The domain can make the color performance even better. Some people think that 1080P will not be a bit behind, and I personally feel that I can't say behind. In fact, different people choose to be different. First of all, the specific effects of the game under 1080P resolution on the hardware requirements and Not very high, the general mainstream large-scale stand-alone game GTX960 can open to high effect, and 2K resolution can only open to medium effect, so this monitor is more suitable for host configuration is not high but also want to experience high effect in a large screen environment The price of this monitor is 15XX. I think this price is still difficult to compete with other brands. Actually 27 inches curved stage display will kill to the price, so I think the 13XX is the ideal price; ViewSonic aftermarket is returnable 7 days / 30 days replacement / year warranty, manufacturers of quality or trustworthy.
advantage:
1, the ultra-thin design with a metal base for this monitor is rich in modern technology sense, placed in the family is undoubtedly a eye-catching decorations;
2, by testing this monitor has 96% sRGB color gamut and 74% AdobeRGB coverage, in color performance is still relatively good;
3. Nowadays, many players have begun to pay attention to the protection of the eyes, while the VX2776-smhd does not have a splash screen and Blu-ray filtering function, which will undoubtedly minimize the damage of the monitor to the glasses.
4, built-in audio, can make the desktop more concise and spacious, and the other point is that --- mother no longer have to worry about when equipped with computers to buy audio;
5, OSD settings are relatively rich, through the shortcut keys can freely switch the display mode, making more accurate preemptive and occupy favorable conditions in competitive games.
6, the average user will adjust the brightness of the display to about 50%, for this monitor is 50% of the brightness power consumption is only about 15W, indicating that a level of energy efficiency is still relatively energy-efficient.
Disadvantages:
1, because the base of the metal structure of the support column to be linked to a lot of fine, although the aesthetics up but the hardness is indeed a drawback, a slight shake will make the screen swing around, players with obsessive-compulsive disorder may be more concerned about;
2, I think that since there is a built-in audio, then the volume control keys in the control area is still a bit better, I hope the manufacturers can improve;
3, does not support the wall.
