ViewSonic VX2480-2K-SHD-2 24-inch 2K QHD IPS Monitor

The ViewSonic VX2480-2K-SHD-2 24-inch QHD IPS Monitor is a well-balanced display suited for those who want sharpness and color fidelity without pushing for ultra-high refresh or esports-level speeds. It features a 23.8″ IPS panel at 2560×1440 (QHD) resolution, giving noticeably finer image clarity than 1080p, especially in text, creative work, or multitasking. The panel uses ViewSonic’s SuperClear® IPS technology, delivering wide 178° viewing angles both horizontally and vertically, meaning colors stay consistent from off-axes, and a brightness of around 250 cd/m², which is adequate for indoor lighting but not extremely bright for very sun-lit environments. The refresh rate is 100Hz, which is smoother than the standard 60Hz, making general use (scrolling, UI motion) feel fluid, though not quite at the level of high-end gaming monitors. Response time is about 5 ms (GtG), so minor ghosting may appear in fast motion (e.g., very fast-paced FPS), but for most content it performs well. Other useful features include an anti-glare, hard-coated (3H) surface, flicker-free backlight, low blue-light filtering to reduce eye strain over long sessions, and an 80 million-to-1 dynamic contrast ratio for deeper blacks & brighter whites in varying scenes. Connectivity is clean with 2 × HDMI 1.4, 1 × DisplayPort 1.2, plus a 3.5 mm audio out. The design is minimal and modern: thin bezels on three sides, an internal cable management solution in the stand to reduce clutter, and VESA-mount compatibility (100×100 mm). Power draw is moderate (≈22-25W typical), making it energy efficient for its class. Overall, the VX2480-2K-SHD-2 is a great monitor if you want solid QHD image quality for productivity, media, and casual gaming, without needing premium refresh rates or esports-tier speed.
