This week, ViewSonic unveiled its first-ever 5K monitor, the ColorPro VP2788-5K, designed for both PC and Mac users. With a modern yet simple design, this display targets professionals and content creators who need high pixel density for detailed work.
As the name suggests, the VP2788-5K offers a 5120 x 2880p resolution on a 27-inch screen. This size isn’t too large but delivers an impressive pixel density of 218 ppi (pixels per inch), resulting in sharper, clearer, and more vibrant images. ViewSonic claims that the image quality is on par with Apple’s Retina displays, known for their sharpness and clarity.
Performance and Features
Though the VP2788-5K excels in color accuracy and clarity, it may not appeal to competitive gamers. With an IPS panel, 75Hz refresh rate, and 5ms response time, the monitor falls slightly behind the typical gaming screen standards.
Still, it offers a solid performance for professional work like photo editing, video production, and design, thanks to its high color accuracy.
