The useful part.

Key strengths

Thunderbolt 4 upstream carries video, data and up to 100 W of charging over one cable, and the Thunderbolt 4 downstream port can daisy-chain up to two 5K displays.

At 5120 × 2880 on 27 inches the pixel pitch is 0.117 mm (218 PPI), which ViewSonic says makes text easier to read, with typical figures of 99% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB coverage from a 10-bit (8-bit + FRC) panel.

The stand offers 120 mm of height travel, −5° to 22° tilt, ±30° swivel and 90° pivot each way, and a USB-A/USB-C hub, two 5 W speakers and a woofer are built in.

The checks that matter.

Before you buy

The refresh rate is 75 Hz on the UK specification and 60 Hz on the US page, and ViewSonic names no adaptive-sync technology, certification or variable-refresh range for its Adaptive Sync gaming modes.

There is no headphone jack in the connector list, and power comes from an external adaptor.

ViewSonic’s UK and US pages give different refresh-rate and response-time figures for this model: 75 Hz and 5 ms on the UK page, 60 Hz and 14 ms on the US page.

Every specification. With its source.

Adaptive sync
Yes

The UK product page describes a Gaming Mode with “Adaptive Sync modes tailored for FPS, RTS, and MOBA genres”. ViewSonic names no adaptive-sync technology or certification tier and declares no variable-refresh range; the UK specification’s vertical input-signal frequency is 24–75 Hz, which is not stated to be the adaptive-sync range. The US page does not mention Adaptive Sync.

Self-calibration from the OSD menu (sRGB, DCI-P3 or Rec.709, no software or computer needed) lists the ColorPro Wheel, with X-Rite marked “coming soon”. No calibrator is listed in the package contents.

ViewSonic USA says ColorPro Display Manager lets you adjust brightness and volume with your Mac function keys; Mac-to-Monitor Control requires a MacBook model with physical function keys or a Magic Keyboard.

The ViewSonic USA page for the same VP2788-5K differs as follows: 60 Hz refresh rate (UK 75 Hz); 14 ms typical GtG with no overdrive figure (UK 5 ms typical and with overdrive); USB-C listed as “1 upstream (15W) / 1 downstream (15W)” (UK gives no rating for the USB-C upstream port); tilt printed “5º / 22º” (UK “-5º / 22º”, both labelled forward/back); cable organisation “No” (UK “Yes”); panel surface “Anti-Glare, Low-Reflection, 48% Haze” (UK “Anti-Glare, Low-Reflection, Hard Coating (3H)”); each power figure given with and without audio/USB load (Eco Conserve 232/37 W, Eco optimised 236/41 W, typical 242/47 W, maximum 245/50 W; UK lists 37, 41, 47 and 50 W without a load basis); and a three-year limited warranty on parts, labour and backlight (UK: 3 Year Pickup, Repair and Return). The US page also omits UK entries and statements, including (examples, not an exhaustive list) the dynamic contrast (20M:1), TÜV Flicker Free and TÜV Low Blue Light, PC operating-system and Adaptive Sync entries, Delta E <2 colour accuracy, Pantone Validation, factory calibration with a personalised calibration report, self- and hardware calibration (Colorbration+), ColorPro Sense and the Kensington lock slot; its regulations row names Energy Star 8.0 and EPEAT Silver where the UK row lists Energy Star and EPEAT.
