ViewSonic VA2715-2K-MHD Office Monitor with WQHD introduced

A new, inexpensive 27 inch 2K monitor for business and office purposes has been announced with the ViewSonic VA2715-2K-MHD. The FreeSync monitor relies on a VA panel with WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels), a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz, and 104 percent sRGB coverage.

The new ViewSonic monitor has a contrast ratio of 4000:1, the color depth is 8 bits, the response time is 5 ms (grey to gray), and the typical brightness is 250 cd/m².

If you want to loosen up on your everyday chores with a bit of gameplay in between, you can eliminate unsightly tearing thanks to the Adaptive-Sync support. Two internal 2-watt loudspeakers act as sound generators if required.

For connectivity, there are two HDMI 1.4 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.2, and a headphone output. There are no USB interfaces. The ViewSonic VA2715-2K-MHD can only be tilted and, in addition to a VESA mount (100 x 100 mm), comes with a blue light filter and a flicker-free backlight. Without the stand, the 27-inch monitor weighs 3.1 kg and has dimensions of 613 x 361 x 40 mm (W x H x D).
