Is this monitor good to go, or does it require calibration with a solution? Thank you in advance!

It's good to go. But they do include a small bottle of solution for future use.

I'm a pretty dedicated gamer myself and I've had the monitor for a few weeks now. I could hardly notice anything personally. However if you really don't like the colors you could download the proper monitor color profile online and it will supposedly make it look great. Although I never bothered because it was fine to me. And I have no idea what the angle problem is. If you mean is the screen a little tilted or whatever I'm going to say that mine is perfectly fine. Hope this helps you make your choice.

What Mike said. They're all LCDs with LED backlighting. Some better than others. This one's a great monitor though, especially for the price! Only advice I have is if purchasing more than one for a multi-monitor set up you will 100% need some calibration software. I bought two and they are completely different temps. Not even close (this is standard with monitors within the industry). Calibration is a must...but well worth it for product at this price point.

My monitor was ready to go out of the box. Dell provided a sheet listing the color calibration the monitor went through prior to shipment. This monitor is for personal use, so it wasn't necessary for me to second-guess the calibration. If this is for professional use, you may wish to double-check it to ensure it meets your needs. This monitor does give off a very noticeable shimmer when working in white background. Some users may find this distracting, but I'm very happy with the monitor and color regardless.

Really wouldn't know how to test for that. There are a lot of color calibration options so i can't imagine you would have a problem. This is really a game-changing monitor, its that large and hi-res.

It all depends in your price range, personally this is the best monitor I have ever owned, and I'm considering getting a second one

Like on Window's PC's, you will have to download the right drivers. It took me about 4 hours to get my new 1080p monitor to work right, had to download 3 or 4 drivers. Make sure that you go to the ViewSonic page to update all your current drivers first, the disk that it comes with does not have the updates on it. You will probably have to go to Apple to get the right Mac drivers too. It's a pain, but the monitor works awesome once you get it set up. I'm extremely pleased with mine, the side viewing is just as good as direct on viewing. One of my laptops that I have set up for this monitor only has 1GB of Ram, and it works just fine with it.

This, and any 22" or larger LCD monitor, is going to give a softer image when using an analog input like VGA. It really can't be avoided when you get to these sizes and resolutions in LCD, unless you get a truly expensive monitor meant for graphic design artists. It will work, but it won't be as crisp or clear as if it were connected via HDMI or DVI. That's just what you deal with when you switch to large LCDs. However, for a VGA image, this looks pretty darn good. The review you read might have neglected to calibrate the monitor properly once connected via VGA. It's not washed-out at all... It's just not as crystal-crisp as a digital source.

Yeah I dont have any problems with my display, but make sure your camera is decent and adjust to the light so the image looks good. Camera quality makes a difference.

I got this as a secondary monitor but it's actually very good. I also have the 120mhz BenQ. Side by side they are very similar although I can see the smoothness of the 120 mhz. Colors need to be adjusted out of the box.

As an admitted quality snob, I would be lying if I said that the monitor has no ghosting because it most certainly does. However, it is no where near dramatic enough to be called an "issue." The ghosting effect can ONLY be seen when a dark object moves across a white, or nearly white background. For example, you will be able to see a very small amount of ghosting on the edge of icons inside an explorer window if you quickly drag said window from one side of the screen to the other. Other than that it's unlikely that you will ever notice it. I have watched many movies and played many FPS game sessions without being able to detect any ghosting. Bottom line, this monitor will NOT disappoint.

Same here. I don't have the right graphics card in my laptop, so the monitor didn't work well for me. Poor resolution. Since it would cost $160 shipping to return it, I am going to get a new graphics card. Vendor tech support has been helpful. Check the specs first!

Hi Rita, Sorry. I don't have the technical expertise to answer this. I do, however, really like this monitor.

I now have 4 x Dell P2715Q 4k 60hz monitors running on the NVS 510 just fine. No noticeable difference from 4 x 1440p. Open a couple hd videos at once and they will get choppy but normal office work is totally fine. I would give extreme caution about 2160p at 27" though. I've run into several issues with this pixel density on Windows. Several programs have nearly invisible UI elements they are so small. Many/most programs ignore windows display magnification settings so you're at the mercy of the application developers to update their software. I'm trying to decide right now if I should return the 4 monitors and give it another year or stick it out. If this wasn't a business machine with only a few pro apps that will hopefully be updated over the next few months and was running many consumer apps, there would be no question. I'd be returning them and waiting for sure. It would be a mess. On the other hand, 1440p at 27" is not quite dense enough. Text is a little fuzzy. Some UI elements a little pixelated. But at least you can see everything.

Vincent, I have been trying to get someone to hook it up for me. I had the wires run when I built the house a few months ago. When i got the unit, one of the monitor screen was pushed back, I don't think the quality is very good. Or at least their QC. Sorry this doesn't answer your question. I may try to sell mine off because I don't feel that they will back it up with a warranty. I guess we get what we pay for.

I have had this monitor since the beginning of August. I have it connected to a Mac-book Pro. Thunderbolt to Display-port. I would rate this a 5 star monitor. I use it for editing video (I am an amateur). I have no issue with the aspect ratio. I usually have my laptop screen closed.
