Just purchase ViewSonic VX3209-2K.
Very awesome valuable 32" QHD IPS Monitor.

Hi, anyone here using ViewSonic 32" IPS 1440p (VX3209-2K)?

What is the respond time you all set at monitor menu - manual image adjust?

Standard, Advanced or Ultra Fast ?

For the moment I set it as Advanced as I read somewhere mentioned Ultra Fast is too aggressive and generate side effect (but this is on another model). I actually seems can't detect much differences just I feel like the screen more bright when set others than standard and I need lower down a bit the brightness.

By the way, below is my setting, I find it this is the best setting (for myself)

• Contrast - 65
• Brightness - 70
• Color Adjust - Cool (sRGB is too dull, Native is somewhere seems not correct, Bluish is way too blue and warm is too yellowish)
• Viewmode - Standard (Others mode disable the contrast and brightness adjustment and the preset is way too bright to me)
• Response Time - Advanced (I dunno what to set, so I put it on center, Haha!)

100 brightness? Wah. I am ok with the brightness and I put only 70%. No issue I can see the game enemies. Haha.

Depends on games. Most games not but some game even vsync on also slightly occur tearing.

Below is the games I test out, the only having bad tearing is F.E.A.R 2. TimeShift is slightly tearing. The rest is smooth and no issue.

I put the monitor near the most end of table and I seat as usual a table length. It is flicker free thus I don't find any tiredness even long usage with proper suite myself brightness and contrast.

If use for watching movie I will seat slightly far a bit.

You are most welcome. Here my additional impression about the black output.

Attached here the photo taken of the monitor when using black background. I find it very constant and very black, off course not as pure black as VA+ panel but it already meet my black requirement.

Some mentioned OC to 75hz will reduce to 8 Bit instead of original 10 Bit color.

I didn't try on this monitor as currently my output is Intel HD 530 which I think don't have way to OC like Nvidia where can set custom resolution.

I am using laptop which means only GPU part is handle by Geforce 970m.

Some one here mentioned. I dunno as I didn't test.

Edit: Notice Intel HD 530 also can do custom resolution but I can't set 75hz, it said exceed available bandwidth. Maybe due to HDMI limitation. Haha!

No gamma setting, I really no idea why he said not enough bright, it is crazy bright and contrast enough to me.

I can't even seen at 100% brightness setting on this monitor.

Game mostly got gamma setting, I mean the monitor itself don't have. Haha!

Yalo, probably due to his game gamma setting went wrong as all games I test all no issue and not having cannot see the enemies.

angel-girl Probably you shall reset the game gamma if you alter it before, normally is in center of the bar.

Here my screenshot. 1st screenshot is 65% brightness and 70% contrast. 2nd screenshot is 100% brightness and 70% contrast.

No additional setting tune at game or display control panel which default at brightness 0% and contrast 50% at Intel HD 530.

I am using laptop which means the Nvidia is purely for GPU only.

The display output is control by Intel HD 530. The RGB range is Full Range (This is very important to get no wash out output).

From your screenshot, IMO you had set it over bright already, the gaming feel all gone. It seems too bright than usual. A lot games got way to tune and you shall set it the object in setting only slightly appear. This is the correct setting. If you can see the object in game setting crazy clear and not near blend to the background then it is over bright than suppose.

By the way, your previous monitor is Acer Predator XB271HU, this monitor is 27" QHD with 350 cd/m2 brightness, off course it is far brighter than ViewSonic VX3209-2K which only have 250 cd/m2 brightness.

May I know why you change from Acer Predator XB271HU to ViewSonic VX3209-2K. This looks like downgrade from every part.

• Acer Predator XB271HU is G-Sync with 144 Hz Native Refresh Rate where ViewSonic VX3209-2k no any Sync with 60 Hz Native Refresh Rate.
• Acer Predator XB271HU is 350 cd/m2 brightness where ViewSonic VX3209-2k only 250 cd/m2.
• Acer Predator XB271HU is 4ms GTG where ViewSonic VX3209-2k is 8ms GTG.
• The only win is ViewSonic VX3209-2k is 1.07B colors where Acer Predator XB271HU is 16.7M colors and also bigger 0.5"

This probably the new model for replacing VX3209-2K and it is not out yet, even at USA also coming soon.

http://www.viewsonic.com/us/vx3211-2k-mhd.html

It looks very similar spec as VS3209-2K except much better wider color gamut at 99% sRGB with integrate speaker.

It probably much expensive due to it 99% sRGB tune.

Using this card seems a bit over push.

Try custom resolution and set 50hz see working or not. Then slowly increase. I read somewhere certain older card only work in 59hz.

Also if you not using the bundle HDMI cable, try use it. Maybe who knows your existing HDMI did not support as due to version issue.

Another is buy a DVI to HDMI converter. Some manage to do this by set the custom resolution to 2560x1440 progressive 59hz and changed the timing to CVT reduced blank. (if your existing HDMI did not work at all).

Above is I gather from internet, I never try myself.

Wished you success. All the best.

Actually I also didn't check during purchase, lucky my HDMI can support up to 2k 60hz. But overclock no longer work as the maximum is 60hz.

After reading so many, DisplayPort shall be the future for the moment.

Oh I see.

100% brightness not enough bright!!! Oops, then I can't help.

Possible also. that is extra 100 cd/m2, surely big differences. Hehe

haha! I buy 2 years ago also. Never plan to change so far, yup very nice lappie.

Hahaha! Cool possibility.

Finally done calibrating my laptop screen color near identical to my ViewSonic monitor color.

After google around, I think GTX 1050 is equalvalent to GTX 960M, if yours is 4GB RAM edition, I think you still can play most the games ok. I not sure as hard to find benchmark on it. But if yours is 2 GB RAM edition then maybe more hardly.

I am using 6GB RAM edition of GTX 970M, so far can be said all my games still very playable. Off course I am not demand all games must be at 60fps, for me 30fps is playable already, 45 to 50fps is very good and no complain.

Below is my average fps (from steam counter) in 1440p in some games I just test on GTX 970m.
All games in maximum quality setting with 4x AA or below.

In summary, I get frame drop around 10 to 15 fps compare with 1080p.

• Doom - 35 to 42 fps
• Grim Dawn - 60fps
• Rise of the Tomb Raider - 25 to 30 fps
• Metal Gear Solid Phantom of Manage - 37fps to 44fps
