ViewSonic VG2456 24-inch 1080p HD Docking Monitor featuring USB Type-C, Ethernet, Dual Integrated Speakers, Ergonomics, 3x USB-A, DisplayPort and HDMI

As someone who teaches from home and having had to downsize from my dual 27in Viewsonic monitors, this made its way to the top of the list. I really liked the idea of having a single cable from my laptop to charge it and carry the video/USB signal, and a DisplayPort in (and out) means I can have a lead from my desktop PC to the monitor too.Easy to unbox and assemble, laptop plugged in, and voila! A charging laptop with video/audio out 🙂 Then ran a DisplayPort cable from my PC to the monitor - the monitor takes its signal from whichever device is switched on first, but it's a couple of taps through the on-screen menus to switch over if needed.If there were any quibbles, and I'm being very picky here, it's that the built-in speakers are a bit tinny, but for the very little use they'll get (I usually wear a headset when teaching and gaming), then they're more than sufficient.As an instructor, a second monitor is always preferred, so I'll either get another one of these or the VG2455 when they hit a price I'm happy with.Definitely recommended.

Purchased 2x VG2456 monitors for home working and occasional gaming.Packaging is great, all cardboard apart from the small cable ties and bags for the monitor and stand components. Great to see plain cardboard boxes used for packaging (not printed/glossy cardboard). The protective interior parts of the box are made from eggbox like material and shaping. No damage to my screens on arrival and an extremely recyclable packaging.Assembly is easy, 2 parts make up the monitor stand, the base and the upright section. This then easily connects to the screen. 1 screw is required for the whole assembly and this has a ring attached to it so you don't need a screwdriver and can twist the ring instead.Connecting the screens is easy. I've got a home PC and a work laptop. So the home PC connects to the DisplayPort In on Screen 1. There is then a DisplayPort cable between Screen 1 DisplayPort Out and Screen 2 DisplayPort In. Easy connection, and with MST on, the image is passed between the screens. Less cable clutter. My work laptop then connects via USB-C from the laptop to the screens. The image is then passed on via the connecting DisplayPort cable. Bonus, the laptop also charges down that same USB-C cable, so another cable reduction on my desk.I've got the monitors set up with 1 landscape and 1 portrait. The stands allow for angling the monitors left/right, whilst the screens can also go up and down and tilt backwards & forwards. Combined with the screen settings in Windows, means the screens are perfectly aligned at a great working height for me.Cable management options are good, I've fed all my cables (inc Keyboard & Mouse) through the cable management slot and dropped straight under the desk.Image quality seems good, the matt finish (anti-glare) on the screens is nice and the bezels are extremely slim.Would recommended this monitors and look forward to them being used daily (oh, and combined their power consumption is less than my previous monitor, so more screen space and less electricity consumption).

I needed a screen that is compatible with a Mac mini 2 as I'd had dreadful problems with my previous set up. So far so good....... Nice build quality and the screen is fine for my limited computing.

This product is absolute garbage. You will not beleive it is ViewSonic, from the astonishing bad material of well everything. The material around the buttons is like a cheap plastic toy. It comes in a very thin package, and in there for "protection" they have someting like an eggs package that protects absolutely nothing. The screen itself looks like a cheap knockout of a viewsonic. In my case it also didn't switch on, but this may have been a conincidence. I still have a VG2719 2K, that is an actual viewsonic but maybe that is the end of this brand...
