A remote, work-from-home setup is not complete with just a laptop; it starts with it, with a monitor following quickly after. Boring 19 and 24-inch monitors are a thing of the past, a 34-inch ultra-wide monitor on the other hand, makes a work setup very exciting but also productive. One really needs to let their imagination run wild. ViewSonic’s new VA3456-MHDJ is just the display that should be on your wish list, whether you’re considering it for work, or as your primary home desktop monitor. It’s massive, it’s sporting an extremely impressive resolution and it really isn’t expensive for what you get.
The 34-inch ViewSonic VA3456-MHDJ ultra-wide monitor sells at Rs. 40,999*, which might sound like a lot of money, but it’s the hardware that impresses. Most entry-class laptops today are priced way more than this, and an accompanying monitor like this enables you to do a lot more than the everyday, boring 24-inch full HD monitor. The VA3456-MHDJ runs a whopping resolution of 3440 x 1440, popularly termed as WQHD. It has the resolution seen on popular and premium 27-inch monitors, and a much wider corresponding width. If regular full HD and 4K monitors are considered widescreen, then this monitor is most definitely an ultra-wide. Technically, the aspect ratio is marked as 21:9, way more than the 16:9 aspect ratio of other widescreen displays.
The size and resolution together enable a world of multi-tasking possibilities. The extra width lets you align up three windows side-by-side without any constraint. It’s also not too high where you need to move your head up and down to find different windows. This kind of window layout can be useful if you’re working on multiple spreadsheets, or alongside web pages, and an e-mail or chat client. You no longer need to switch between windows using Alt-Tabs, rather you have everything you need on the screen all the time. When you’re gaming or watching movies, the monitor covers your entire field of view. It’s really something!
The VA3456-MHDJ isn’t all about size and resolution, it’s powered by a very capable and trusted technology – IPS. This means, you can find accurate colour rendition. It’s more accurate than the cheaper TN technology seen on cheaper displays. IPS panels also enjoy better viewing angles too and ViewSonic claims a viewing angle of about 178 degrees, which is quite impressive. The VA3456-MHDJ is also HDR400 ready so you can experience higher contrast ratios and a wider colour gamut, just what you want while streaming TV shows and movies from media streaming services. There are other features meant for gamers, such as AMD FreeSync. This helps the monitor synchronize with the PC or laptop’s graphics card frame rate. This eliminates tearing, allowing you to enjoy a flawless gaming experience.
Connectivity is plentiful, as the ViewSonic VA3456-MHDJ comes with two HDMI ports. This is great for connecting most laptops and PCs to it. There is also a DisplayPort for graphics cards that use the newer technology. There is also a headphone jack that helps remove the need for long cables running from your laptop or PC. You don’t absolutely need to use headphones either because this monitor comes with 3W stereo speakers. While these aren’t the kind of speakers to play games and watch action movies on, they will be more than you need for watching casual videos off YouTube.
A monitor also must be practical and ViewSonic has the experience of making quality computer monitors for a very long time now. For one, the bezels on this massive display are tiny, so you could if you wish, you could align up identical monitors next to each other for a multi-monitor setup. The stand too lets you tilt the monitor which helps if you’re looking up or down at it. If you want the monitor at your eye level, the stand lets you raise or lower the monitor by 10cm. You can even swivel the monitor around if you need to. You won’t have to worry about a sore neck or back anytime soon even after spending hours in front of your workstation. If you want to mount the monitor on the wall instead of using the stand, you can utilize the VESA mount at the rear using a third-party mounting bracket.
There are other enhancements, that make working long hours a little easy on your eyes. The display is flicker-free, and it has a blue light filter. It’s even coated with a glare-free treatment. An eco mode built into the monitor, turns down brightness and that helps reduce power consumption as well.
