What customers say about "Key Specs"
ViewSonic VA2719-SMH Frameless Full HD LCD Monitor
  • Great value for a 27 inch with 1080p resolution. The bezel is fairly thin and looks nice when used in multi display.
  • I really like the 1080p resolution and the size of the monitor is perfect.
  • Excellent monitors, resolution was just as advertised, built in speakers were not bad.
  • Size is perfect for my needs. The frameless border is a nice touch.
  • Very usable display resolution and size. Good color reproduction.
ViewSonic VX2778-SMHD Frameless IPS Monitor
  • This is a beautiful monitor. The colors pop off the screen, the WQHD resolution is magnificent, and the aesthetics of the narrow bezel and solid base are good.
  • Sharp, clear image. Text is great, no fuzziness at all.
  • Enough screen real estate to have multiple windows open.
  • I had lots of problems connecting it. Maybe it was because I connected it through HDMI. The native resolution was not recognized. The maximum was just 2048x1152, and it was blurry.
  • The resolution setting was incorrect. It stated 2540x1440 but the mac was also at that resolution and the monitor cut off windows that were full frame on the mac.

What customers say about "Features"
ViewSonic VA2719-SMH Frameless Full HD LCD Monitor
  • VESA mountable: for me this is key and means that I don't give a damn about the terrible stand.
  • The bezels, frame and stand are fantastic.
  • The stand is a treat. The base is heavy and looks great.
  • Terrible stand. It has very limited adjustability.
  • Speakers are tiny tin cans.
ViewSonic VX2778-SMHD Frameless IPS Monitor
  • The built-in controls give a variety of control via tiny buttons under the frame. They are a little tricky to use but you generally won't be touching them after the initial setup.
  • The on/off light can be turned off (menu option).
  • It has a vesa connector.
  • It is also designed with a dual integrated speaker which makes a great realistic sound for playing music and movies.
  • Audio - typical poor quality through the built in speakers.
