Most of this will be covered elsewhere, but maybe my review can inspire confidence for others.

In short, I'm running this using macOS scaled to 1080p to get a Retina/HiDPI-quality display. With the monitor an arm's length away, this is plenty enough detail and real-estate. I'd prefer something bigger, say, 36" or 38", but this is fantastic.

It's plenty bright. The color reproduction is wonderful and the subpixel layout is ideal (it doesn't generate any visual artifacts). The stand is shockingly amazing. I didn't realize how useful it would be to have so much adjustability!

This is a great monitor for development/video/productivity work. If you're looking for something primarily to watch movies or play games, you might want to look elsewhere.

The buttons are lame, but honestly, how often are you going to be adjusting the settings?

Also, I did initially receive a unit with a slight yellow hue to it on half of the screen. I just sent it back in for a replacement which is flawless. (Why are people freaking out so much about yellowing and such? If the screen is flawed, just send it back. Amazon will take care of you.)

Wonderful Monitors

I was excited to move from 3 - 23" screens to 2 larger ones, but was hesitant to go all the way to 32" screens. But I think it was a good choice. I use 2 of these on a 2019 Mac Pro, and they work great. Nice color. Adjustable brightness. Crisp picture quality. I don't use the speaker system, but it sounds decent.

I do have to scale the resolution up quite a bit so that I can read everything (the default is WAY too small), but I do not see an issue with performance in doing so, and I still feel like I have MORE than plenty of room in all my creative programs (design, motion graphics, video editing). Also, the bases are fantastic in their adjustability (height, swivel, etc), and I appreciate all the additional usb3 ports that work through the hub. Great monitors.

EXCELLENT 4K Monitor - It’s TOO BAD it doesn’t get more recognition

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019

Style: 32-Inch 4K UHD (Factory Calibrated)Verified Purchase

First and foremost, I’d like to point out that I am not a photographer, nor a video editor or some kind of professional who absolutely needed a color accurate, professionally calibrated monitor. I simply wanted a 32in monitor that had a beautiful IPS Panel , with slim bezels and a decent stand. That’s exactly what I received but this monitor is not perfect. Details below:

Cons:
Price: This is marketed as a professional monitor, so I guess the price is rather reasonable. However, my monitor has a few issues that it should not have for the over $800 price range.

Dead Pixel(s): As soon as I got the monitor, I ran several quality control/screen consistency tests and I quickly discovered a dead pixel. The pixels are so tiny, I think the dead pixel might actually be two pixels very close together. The dead pixels were not a big deal as I NEVER notice them, so I didn’t send it back or contact Viewsonic about it.

Screen Black- Out Issue: A few times a week, the screen will black out for 2-3 seconds. This issue is infrequent enough for me to tolerate it but it is one that has popped up in several forums online.

Mounting: There is NO VESA Mounting holes on this monitor of any sort..so you're pretty much stuck with the stand that comes with it. :-(

Pros:
BEAUTIFUL IPS screen. The colors on this thing are vivid and punchy, despite the matte coating - which is very light and clear but excellent at avoiding light reflections. 4K resolution on this sized screen is perfect, EVERYTHING IS SHARP.

Sexy Design: I’d challenge you to find a 32inch 4K monitor with smaller bezels, a nicer stand and an overall sexier design. The tiny bezels make playing pc games or watching 4K content a wonderful and at times a breathtaking experience!

Options: LOTS of picture options for professionals, general media consumers and any and all others in between!

Summary: Overall, I think that this monitor is excellent and I do not regret the purchase whatsoever. Is this monitor worth the price? I imagine it might be if you’re a professional who can use it for all its worth. If you’re a simple person who wants a 4K monitor for web browsing and medium consumption, you can save $350 dollars and get another 4K monitors at half the price.

I don't use it for gaming so can't comment about that, but I love this monitor.

It has beautiful image quality, of course.

And loads of convenience features: it has a built-in USB hub with 4 inputs that's handy, as well as an audio output that you can use to plug in to speakers so you don't have to run a separate cord all the way back to the computer.

The included stand works great - you can easily adjust height or forward/backward tilt or rotate the display to vertical or horizontal.

I have used ViewSonic products for I think 20 years, and they're still awesome.

Severe burn in after leaving screen on static image for less than an hour.

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2021

Style: 32-Inch 4K UHD (Factory Calibrated)Verified Purchase

Has excellent consistency and color reproduction, not much bleed in at the edges. Usable for gaming but definitely should not be considered good or even above average for that role, gaming mode flickers horribly for anyone sensitive to low refresh rates. That said, I considered this an excellent value for light video and image editing with lots of screen space to work with. Unfortunately that changed after I walked away while doing some shopping and came back to a screen with severe burn in. I was surprised at how bad it was and how quickly it happened. Would not repurchase.

Perfect for web design

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2019

Style: 27-Inch 4K UHD (Factory Calibrated)Verified Purchase

I'm a UX designer. I design for web and mobile and work on screens all the time. This monitor is great for design! There's more contrast and the texts and colors are crisp. The black is blacker and the white is whiter. It takes a while to get the setting right for web design though. The attached screen shows my setting.

My biggest complaint about this monitor is the physical control buttons of the menu. Why is it so hard to navigate? The user experience is poor. Other than that, this monitor is much better than the other 32 inch 4K Samsung monitor I had at work. I ended up purchasing three same monitors for both home and work. I recommend this monitor for web and mobile designers. You just need to get the settings right.

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2019

Style: 32-Inch 4K UHD (Factory Calibrated)Verified Purchase

There was a time when Viewsonic was synonymous with quality, but that may no longer be the case. I recently purchased two of these monitors and both displayed the same issues: image "warping" along the edges, visible scan lines, a ghosted "border" band around the edge and light bleed along the bottom.

I'm not sure how to describe the "warping." It occurs on both the left and right sides where the screen meets the bezel. If you're staring at the screen and then move (not just turn) your head, horizontally left or right, you'll see the edge of the display appear to curve and then the distortion along the edge becomes very noticeable. Another way to describe it would be how Apple attempt to give the screens on their phones a sense of depth/distance. Starting with the iPhone 5, if you tilt the phone, the background will move slightly to give the appearance of dimension and depth. The effect on the Viewsonic is somewhat similar but it's actually disorienting (for me, at least) and it results in distorted images as the far edges of the screen.

The scan lines are just that - horizontal lines that, while small, still give the screen a "screen door" and/or night vision goggle effect. Admittedly, I was 8 to 10 inches away from the screen when I was analyzing it, but my eyesight isn't the best and I could still the lines. As a photographer and designer, I need my monitors to be as uniform and "smooth" as possible. Instead, these monitors display images that appear jagged. (Now, it's possible this is due to my video card, so I'll be testing the monitors again to see if that changes anything.)

Setting my desktop's background to black revealed that one of the monitors had a "ghosted border" along the left, top and bottom of the screen. It's faint, but visible. I'm assuming it's some component of the monitor that the screen is either resting again (the plastic frame/internals) or perhaps it's something that's adhered to the back of the screen.

This was also when I noticed the light bleed ("flashlighting") along the bottom. One monitor had significant bleed on the right side along the bottom edge. The other monitor exhibited light bleed along the entire bottom edge, in a pattern very similar to older, LCD laptop monitors from the early 2000's - a section of perfect screen, then bleed, a section of perfect screen, and then bleed, repeated several times.

Maybe these are minor quibbles and I'm being overly nitpicky, but personally, if I'm going to spend this much on a monitor, I want it to be perfect. The two I received are far from that. Again, some of the issues might be hardware related and I plan on reviewing the monitors again with a new graphics card. That said, a vast majority of issues appear to be related to quality control than hardware.

Amazon has been gracious enough to replace the original monitors and I'll test the new ones when they arrive and update my review accordingly.

If anyone has any questions or recommendations on how I might be able to improve my experience, please let me know.

UPDATE: Received one of the new replacement monitors. Same as before - image "warping" along the left and right edge of the screen, visible horizontal lines that result in jagged images/text, a "ghosted" border effect and light bleed.

The horizontal lines are only noticeable when lighter content is shown. On darker content they're almost invisible. I also noticed that they're less visible towards the bottom of the screen than the top. Again, for someone who plans on staring at the monitor for hours at a time, I know this will become annoying and serve as a distraction. On a positive note, the light bleed was considerably less than the previous two monitors, but it was still there.

I plan on returning the replacement monitors too.

Amazing monitor for design

Style: 32-Inch 4K UHD (Factory Calibrated)Verified Purchase

I’ve had this monitor for a few months now, and I’ve been using it everyday for multiple hours at a time. This has been my favorite monitor I’ve ever used. I use it primarily for motion graphic design work, so a lot of Adobe Photoshop and After Effects work. I really don’t have any complains about the quality of the monitor itself. Color is spectacular. The only con that I can think of is it is 60hz which is not bad for design, but not ideal for gaming. Don’t get me wrong, I can still game fine with this monitor, but having a higher refresh rate would be awesome.

1881/5000
Buy this monitor after having researched 4 days like crazy hours and hours every day obsessed Watching Reviews and tutorials for all the places you can imagine. As soon as I turned it on, I noticed a yellowish tint a little to the left of the center and it also seemed to me that the viewing angles were quite short because as soon as I look to one side, the whites go towards pink. When the screen goes black I notice the lights sticking out from the bottom right and left corners. Let me be guided by the punctuation I saw on GOOGLE and on Amazon. But I was wrong although I know that sometimes it works. The yellow tint can be lucky because that varies in each unit depending on the model but the viewing angle is like that. When you start to work you forget about those maniacal details and everything is fine but anyway I want a monitor with that yellow tint and that has a better viewing angle because that's what I paid for. Now I got a Dell 3219Q that to my taste is better and that does not have that famous Flicker, in fact I notice the better stability in the Dell than in the Viewsonic.
This monitor has a uniformity option that corrects a little some yellow tint in some sector but it does so at the cost of limiting or canceling the brightness or contrast but it falls short of brightness out there with a little more would be better.
I want them to be that before buying the Dell, he spent a week investigating again to avoid going through that again and I went thoroughly investigating the panels and although BENQ PD3220U, HP Z32, DELL 3219Q, VIEWSONIC VP3268-4K. They all use panels from the same LG brand, not all use the same model and on one page it says that the HP Z32 uses the same as the BENQ PD 3220U, it is not like that because it uses the same as the VIEWSONIC that I did not like. I opted for the DELL because I did not want to go so high in the cost and luckily I am satisfied. The secret is in the Panel. I also believe that each brand must demand a certain quality from the manufacturer, therefore the price as well.
LM315WR1-SSB2 Dell 3219Q Panel
LM315WR1-SSB1 BENQ PD3220Q Panel
LM315WR1-SSA1 Panel Viewsonic VP3268-4K and HP Z32

Regarding the spectrum, all these monitors if you look at them from the front are almost identical because they are pure before and the edges are the same - After each brand makes the back and the support more beautiful or not, but there I like all of them.

On some page it says that the panel of the HP Z32 is LM315WR1-SSB1 but it is not like that (look for the part number in HP luckily look for the part number in HP before buying it because I almost pulled the trigger and luckily I did not do it already I do not want to know anything more with this same panel that it shares with the Viesonic.

I hope it helps some crazy person like me and that it helps them make the right decision.

Basically after 2-4 hrs of usage, the monitor starts flickering. I'm not sure its under warranty but I've had it mounted since the day I bought it. Happens with other sources, other HDMI cables, and other HDMI inputs (Both HDMI inputs). Its giving me migraines so I need to replace it unfortunately. I had bought viewsonic based on my previous experience with them back in school when I was in graphic arts shop. I never expected to have an issue with the monitor, and I kept blaming the computers, the cables, etc.
