Performance
In terms of performance, the ViewSonic VP2468 packs surprising power for its price. With an IPS panel and a 100% sRGB rating, this monitor performs just as well as monitors that have triple the asking price. The only thing that would make this perfect is if instead of 1080p, the ViewSonic VP2468 had a 4K resolution. While unfortunately, this isn’t the case, the LG 27UK650-W does have a 4K resolution.

Viewing Angle
178 degrees is a great viewing angle for any desktop monitor, especially the ViewSonic VP2468. The best part about it is even with adjustments, changing the VP2468 to a vertical monitor, the viewing angles remain the same.

Adjustability
With a stand that is versatile and adjustable, the ViewSonic VP2468 offers the best range of motion for the price. Able to be converted to a vertical monitor, anywhere you look at the ViewSonic VP2468, you’ll have a clear picture.
Durability
With a bezel-less screen and a durable stand, the ViewSonic VP2468 feels as good as a monitor in the $200 price range can. However, unless you plan on mounting this monitor, it can feel a bit insecure at times. Those looking for a more secure monitor can find one in the Samsung CHG90 49-Inch Curved Ultrawide Monitor.
Ports/Expandability
The ViewSonic VP2468 comes equipped with USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and DisplayPort Mini and Daisy Chain capabilities to connect several monitors together with a single DisplayPort cable. While there is a DisplayPort mini, there is no 1.3 DisplayPort, an odd choice seeing as how popular the DisplayPort is. Those looking for a monitor featuring a DisplayPort can either buy an adapter or can go for the Dell UltraSharp UP3216Q.
ViewSonic VP2468 Wrap Up
At the end of the day, despite other higher resolution monitors offering more features, the ViewSonic VP2468 is an affordable alternative that still manages to pack in features vital for video editing. Whether it’s the clearly visible darks and whites, viewing angles, or the money it’ll save you with its energy efficiency. ViewSonic’s monitor surprises and meets the demand for monitors that get the job done without breaking the bank. Even with no speakers or a traditional DisplayPort, the VP2468 is a reliable choice that can get any job done.
