Size 31.5-in Ratio 16x9 Resolution 3840x2160 Brightness 350cd/m2 Contrast ratio 1300:1 SRGB gamut (claimed) 100%

Adobe RGB gamut (claimed) 77%

This 31.5-inch screen is larger than a 27-inch model, yet the ultra-thin bezel keeps the overall size from being too intimidating, while the 4K UHD resolution maintains pin-sharp image quality despite the pixels being spread a little thinner.

There are Display Port, Mini DP and dual HDMI inputs, as well as the ubiquitous USB 3.0 hub. The 350cd/m2 maximum brightness rating is typical for an Led-backlit panel, while 5ms response time (grey-to-grey) and 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles are respectable.

Features include an HDR mode and a 1300:1 contrast ratio. But, there’s no preset Adobe RGB mode and Viewsonic claims 77% coverage of the full Adobe RGB gamut. Image quality looks a little dull when using the SRGB preset, which locks out any brightness adjustment. Overall, image quality is satisfying, and once you step up to a screen of this scale, you may wonder how you managed with anything smaller!

PROS Big 31.5-in screen; 1300:1 contrast ratio; satisfying image quality with the right setup

CONS Below-par brightness uniformity; only 77% Adobe RGB coverage
