First, we must thank ViewSonic for delivering their product for analysis.

ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd technical features

Unboxing and design

If something stands out about this ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd it is undoubtedly its large diagonal worthy of a TV but with a much higher level of benefits as we will see little by little. A very versatile monitor that comes in a thick, neutral cardboard box with nothing else except make and model.

Protection is undoubtedly what matters, and the one it carries is very good, with large expanded polystyrene corks and a protection bag. We do not have too many accessories in the purchase pack, in short, it will be an HDMI cable, power connector, user guide and a small screwed bracket for the support of our headphones.

The package, as you can imagine is large, no less than 838 x 615 x 282 mm and a total weight of 10 Kg.

A detail to take into account is that the support arm is fully installed on the monitor from the factory, so we only have to unpack and connect. This arm only allows the front monitor movement, so in that aspect it is quite basic.

The design of the ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd is quite simple in appearance, although it is not for that reason of lower quality. We have a large 32-inch screen with a very low Glossing and really thin bezels, 15 mm on the top and sides, and 20 mm on the inside. The construction of them is in PVC plastic of medium thickness but very firm and with good finishes and in a dark gray color.

An energy label could not be missing, which informs us that it is a category B product, with an average consumption of 52 W, rather low we must say. We will also have another removable sticker that indicates by way of summary the different technologies that this monitor implements.

In the final aspect, it is made quite similar to a flat TV, with a support of little movement and with a fairly prominent bottom to house the necessary hardware, and a thinner and more aesthetic upper area. For the support on the floor / table we have two long legs made of aluminum, like the rest of the support.

Let's take a closer look at this rear area of the ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd. We have a support entirely made of aluminum with a proprietary support in the lower area of the monitor that leaves the monitor fixed in height and orientation. The total measurements of the product placed for use and with its legs are 729.7 mm wide, 495.8 mm high and 230.3 mm thick.

One of the reasons for the low price of this monitor is precisely because of the type of support it brings, being quite basic when it comes to movements, in addition to having a somewhat basic rear aesthetic, although in the end thinner than other similar equipment.

However, we have other possibilities, such as compatibility with a VESA 100 × 100 mm bracket, both for hanging and for attaching a bracket suitable to our needs.

Here we see the small metal support to hang the headphones on the back of the monitor, or whatever we want.

In the mobility section we will be quite brief, since we are only allowed to turn on the Y axis, with a front inclination inward of 5 degrees, and outward of 13 degrees. Not too much, but enough to adjust the monitor to view and height. Obviously we miss the possibility of vertical movement, although being such a large monitor, raising it more almost makes no sense.

A positive aspect of this monitor is that it has passive cooling, so it will not produce any type of noise, except for its two 2.5 W speakers.

Let's see what this ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd offers us in terms of connectivity. To start we have a 230 V power connector, so the power supply of the equipment is located inside, positive to avoid hip flasks lying on the floor, although negative because it generates heat inside.

We turn to the other side to find two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.2a port for video connectivity. In these two we can connect our 4K monitor to the graphics card and also activate FreeSync and HDR10 without problems. We also have a 3.5mm Jack connector for audio output.

In this monitor we do not have USB connectivity or anything similar, perhaps high to consider for many users.

Display and features

Now it's time to see the technical section of the ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd, which we will see is very interesting despite its "good boy" appearance. We have a 32-inch screen capable of reaching a native UHD resolution at 3842 × 2160 pixels (4K), thus achieving a density of 137 pixels per inch. Enough not to see each of these light cells with the naked eye if we are at a viewing distance of more than 40 cm. We also have AMD FreeSync technology to smooth the image and dynamically adapt the refresh rate, although in this case we do not have the 144 Hz so sought after for games.

We have a versatile high quality WLED backlit MVA panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, a brightness of 300 cd / m2 (nits) and a response speed of 9.5 ms GtG although it can be reduced to 3 ms. Also, we have a native contrast of 3000: 1 with DCR 80M: 1. Its color depth is 8 bits + Hi-FRC with 86% NTSC color space and also supporting HDR10. They are undoubtedly good features for an extremely versatile and valid monitor for playing, playing multimedia content and also for low-fidelity design jobs.

The viewing angles of this MVA panel are 17.8 degrees vertically and 178 degrees horizontally, typical of an IPS panel and with results that are obvious. Color loss is much milder than TN panels and color fidelity is close to IPS panels, along with a very good maximum response speed of 3 ms.

We also highlight the presence of a blue light filter, very necessary in LED monitors and very useful to eliminate harmful blue light waves from our sight. We will have it available from hardware with the OSD panel.

OSD panel and USE experience

Well, there are 6 buttons that we have on the back right to interact with our ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd monitor. The bottom one is to turn off and on the screen. First second and third are responsible for providing quick menus to configure view mode, contrast and brightness and input selection. It will be in the room where we have access to the main menu of this monitor. The fifth button is to remove the menu.

Well, we enter the menu to see basically what menus we have. In the first of them nothing special, only the selection of video input, and in the second we have nothing special, only the volume control.

In the third section we have the selection of display modes, among which we have games, movies, web, etc., although we do not have one for design. In the following we have everything related to the selection of colors and also the activation of the HDR10, which by default will be automatic.

From the fifth menu is one of the most important, since we can modify aspects such as the blue light filter, DCR, response time, among other things. Arriving at the last menu we will have the possibility to configure consumption aspects, the display of the OSD and of course the activation of AMD FreeSync. In general it is a very complete menu and not too difficult to manage, although a joystick always makes things easier.

Let's now see a brief description of the user experience with this ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd.

Movies and multimedia content

Without a doubt if this monitor can highlight something, it is in the reproduction of multimedia content. Thanks to HDR support, the 4K movie viewing quality is fabulous. The 60 Hz is more than enough and the MVA panel generates vivid colors and a very high contrast, so it is highly recommended to use it in this type of entertainment indiscriminately.

Games

As for the gaming experience it is also very good with this UHD resolution, the absence of 144 Hz is noticeable, despite having AMD FreeSync the result is not so fluid. Otherwise the 3 ms response time is a good card to play and HDR support gives just as good results as in movies.

Design and general work

MVA is a very versatile panel and it will also be very useful for graphic design or CAD work, although always keeping in mind that it is not a special monitor for design, nor are we going to obtain exactly the same quality as IPS panels. Anyway, for occasional jobs, and for fans of the world we will have more than enough.

Final words and conclusion about ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd

If there is something we should highlight about the ViewSonic VX3211 4K mhd it is the very good quality / price ratio. It is not easy to find a 4K monitor with such a good panel for less than 500 euros. Build quality is good with thin screen bezels with Anti-Glare and relatively thin.

The viewing experience is very good, the HDR works very well and AMD FeeSync is useful despite being a 60 Hz monitor. Important aspect is the hardware configurable blue light filter and the high quality WLED backlight.

We also recommend the best monitors on the market

If something is missing, it is a greater ergonomics in the monitor support, in a way it is a weak point, although we always have the possibility of obtaining a VESA compatible personalized support. We also do not have USB ports to allow us to connect storage units, something quite demanded today.

For our part, we believe that it is a highly recommended monitor precisely because of the value for money, it has been on the market for a long time and we have seen it for prices of even $ 410 on Amazon, so if you want something cheap and enjoy an experience 4K quality, this is a heavyweight option.
