The on-paper HDR10 support doesn’t translate into anything approaching an HDR viewing experience. That’s largely because the image quality is a little old school. Viewsonic’s VP3881 feels surprisingly old school despite its huge 38-inch curved LCD panel. If you want even half-decent sound, you’ll need to use dedicated speakers. But they lack both volume and dynamic range, which is a pity, again because of the promise of single-cable connectivity. It really is a lovely thing for viewing and managing documents (opens in new tab) or for multitasking with a browser window, document window and some other app running in parallel and all viewable on a single panel.įor the record, the Viewsonic VP3881 includes integrated stereo speakers which will get you by in a pinch. But for those who do, this 38-inch class works particularly well. Gradients are smooth and there’s no evidence of compression in black or white scales. It still looks great out of the box, however, and the factory calibration and inherent panel quality means that it performs well in all our test images. It’s bright enough from a pure productivity perspective, but conspicuously lacks the punch and power of anything with true HDR capability. But perhaps the intervening years have allowed for a few refinements that don’t show up in the spec sheets.Īnyway, the Viewsonic VP3881 remains a resolutely SDR monitor despite the HDR10 support. On paper the displays are essentially the equivalent and likely use the same LG-sourced panel. We happened to have an LG 38UC99 to hand and the Viewsonic VP3881 subjectively pips it for contrast and also suffers from less obvious IPS glow. Pluses include great viewing angles and a natural, nicely calibrated feel to the colors. And the five-button control interface can be pretty baffling compared to the joystick controls from competing brands.Ī slightly old school IPS experience pretty much sums up the Viewsonic VP3881’s image quality. However, the color space presets leave off some pretty important options, including DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB.

For the most part it’s pretty comprehensive, with full color controls and even extending to options that productivity-focused users will probably see as superfluous, such as input lag and response adjustments. The OSD is likely a tale of pluses and minuses. However, the external power brick won’t be entirely welcome, especially to those hoping to achieve and clean and uncluttered an installation as possible thanks to the USB-C connectivity.

On the plus side, the stand feels very stable and robust and offers height, swivel and tilt adjustment. The rest of the Viewsonic VP3881’s design and feature elements are somewhat mixed. Inputs DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0 x2, USB C with 60W charging Colour coverage 79% DCI-P3, 76% Adobe RGB
