Viewsonic Monitor Cannot Change The Brightness

I *thought* this was an HDR monitor because the Dell website listed it as Ultra High Definition in the list of monitors when I filtered for that feature...however it is not. Initially I was really upset and felt that I wasted my money. B&H really tried hard to help any way they could, but their site clearly says that it's not an HDR monitor in the detail specs tab, but I didn't look there because Dell already said it was. BUT, after using the monitor for a few weeks now, I really, REALLY love this monitor! It's soooooo big, and beautiful with awesome color depth. If you download the Dell monitor software, you can even schedule the brightness and contrast to change according to the time of day (looks like there is 2 settings: day and night...but you might be able to do more detailed scheduling). It even allows for transitions between the two settings so they gradually take effect over, say, an hour (or whatever you want.) I'm usually working with lower ambient lighting in the evening hours, so this is a fun feature to play with. I do wish it had an ambient light sensor to change the brightness automatically, but that's okay. You can even have it automatically dim the screen when your screensaver is going, to save on energy. There's also some great screen sectioning capabilities to split your screen up into multiple zones that you can dock your windows into. Since the monitor is so big, I find it rare for me to ever want to have a window full screen, so this is a great feature as well. Overall, I'm super happy with the quality of this monitor!!! Yes, I'm disappointed that I still cannot edit my photos in HDR, but I don't regret this purchase because it's definitely better than what I had before!

Glad to have this coverage for my Viewsonic ProColor monitor.

Great that you can change the brightness as-well as colour temperature.

Cannot be better!

Bought this model to color match with my 10 year old ViewSonic monitor. Looks beautiful and matches perfectly!

Needed a larger screen for my home setup and decided to go with this monitor. It's a newer model from ViewSonic and I like that it has a built in docking station so I don't have to think about buying one separately. I also like the ergonomics, which made it easier to get it setup.

Hard to beat a good ViewSonic monitor. This might be the best value at 1080P 165hz! If it's anything like my past VS monitors, it'll last you 10+ years!

Been using ViewSonic for years and never been let down. Always brilliant displays and durable/trustworthy. This monitor is no different - true to colors and excellent resolution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor replaced an older consumer grade ViewSonic monitor. I could not believe how much better my photos look on this monitor.

I'm a writer so I use this monitor primarily for documents. So, while I can't offer comment on color-related stuff, it's bright and big and clear. I love it. Oh, and I love ViewSonic. After having used multiple different brands of monitors over the years, I've settled on ViewSonic because the quality is consistently good.
