What Buyers Say
ViewSonic VP3881A 37.5" Black
The Viewsonic 38" Ultrawide monitor receives mixed feedback. Users praise its vibrant colors, 100% sRGB and rec709 coverage, and solid build quality, making it ideal for graphics work and video editing. However, complaints include low brightness and text crispness for reading, a bulky base that takes up desk space, a poorly designed on-screen menu with hard-to-reach buttons, and a KVM switch that requires a USB-C laptop due to only one upstream port. The DisplayManager software is also reported as buggy and sluggish.
