ViewSonic VP2468_H2 24-Inch Premium Dual Pack Head-Only IPS 1080p Monitors with ColorPro 100% sRGB Rec 709, 14-bit 3D LUT, Eye Care, HDMI, USB, DP Daisy Chain, VESA

I purchased these monitors to use in my home office as well as for my photography hobby. My goals are to be able to switch between laptops and not use a docking station for either laptop if at all possible. I use an UpLift Desk with the Dual Monitor stand. Having these monitors without stands and the proper connecting cables saved me money and waste. The screens have very thin bezels so they can be very close to each other without a large distracting border. The colors are excellent and I see that my photos are much easier to edit. Since I went from editing my photos on my Alienware laptop to these I see that the laptop was tricking me into a color cast. These screens have no color bias so now my photos are true color. I use two screens at the office and needed the same for the home office as this is now where I will do most of my work for the foreseeable future.My background on Display PortI have not kept up with technology over the years and wanted a solution for multiple monitors with my work and home laptops. At work we use docking stations and the DVI cables. I had not heard of the Display Port standard. After reading about it and checking my laptops, a Dell from work and an Alienware for home I found they both have these ports. The monitor pair came with two cables for Display Port. They use the VESA standard mount which the UpLift Desk stands provide.Getting the MonitorsUnboxing is straightforward and mounting also easy. Now comes the fun part. I ran one cable from the first monitor (DP Out) to the second monitor (DP In) . I put the other cable on the first monitor (DP In) so that the mini Display Port cable end is free to plug into either laptop (mini DP Out). The box had ample padding and space to prevent any damage to the monitors in transit.Monitor Configuration ChangesI had to go into the settings menu on both monitors and turn on MST to get both PCs to recognize these monitors separately. Originally all three screens showed the exact same image. If the use case is a training situation or sharing information with a client in a bank or health care situation this is ideal as each person can have a separate monitor and see the exact same thing.Work Laptop Windows 7 ProfessionalI plugged the Display Port cable into my work laptop and it recognized the new monitors quickly. We are upgrading to Windows 10 later this year. So as far as the monitors doing what they are supposed to do they worked flawlessly. The hard part is getting Windows 7 to use the laptop screen and the two monitors as three separate screens. After some internet research and work with the PC I finally got all three screens so I can have three different screens to work on. I did end up buying a laptop stand so that the laptop screen is more or less level with the ViewSonic screens.Windows 10The home laptop runs Windows 10 already. All I do to switch between the two laptops is unplug the mini DP cable from one and plug into the other. Easy peasy. Now the same hard part as above. For some reason I had a harder time getting Windows 10 to work the same as Windows 7. I did finally get everything configured and this is a dream setup.LightroomI use Lightroom for my photo editing. I like to attend the Cars and Coffee events locally and shoot a lot of photos. My techniques have improved over the years and now I shoot in RAW format and do my post editing in LR. LR can use dual monitors to edit. One screen is showing the catalog and editing tools while the other screen is showing the full size picture. I load my pictures to Flickr and can view them on my TV's using the Flickr app on Roku. I can say after editing the latest batch of photos where the lighting went from early morning cloudy to mid morning full sun that my photos are more consistent that ever before. Using the laptop not only would I get a color cast but also more variation in the f-stop, i.e. lightness and darkness from photo to photo.SoundThe DP standard also carries the sound signal. These monitors do not have speakers but do have an audio out jack for PC speakers. I rounded up an old pair of speakers and plugged them in to one of the monitors. Again more work is spent in Windows getting it to find and use the speakers. I use them for the corporate presentations we get at work as well as on-line classes at UDemy and Lynda. For this purpose they work quite well.ProsJust the monitors you need and just the cables. Especially if you are using the DP standard for connection.DP carries a sound signal and monitors have a sound out feature for PC speakers.Only one cable to plug into either laptop to switch between systems for work and home.ConsA few small ones.I had to research the seb to find out about setting the MST to On to get the OS to recognize these monitors separately.If I were being picky having the buttons on the back of the monitors and the menu on the front I have to count them to find which button selects which item on the menu. But once you get them set up correctly you probably won't touch these buttons again.ConclusionI am very happy with this setup. I am more productive with two monitors for work as well as editing photographs. I may purchase the color calibration sensor for my desktop down the road to get that final piece of the photo colors correct. I don't use these for gaming so no comment on that use case.

I bought these for my graphics setup and they are awesome. Very nice price point and they are working beautiful together. I was in the market for 2 monitors for a long time and trying to find 2 monitors for zoom meetings and some graphics work, but I could not find ones that were not $400 dollars or so. Then these showed up on my recommendations and yes...bought them and I am very pleased with them. They look great, have a usb 3.0 hub built in and multiple ways to configure. Awesome.

Update 10/12/2022: after looking up the model on the manufacturer's website, i found out there was a really good manufacturers warranty on the hardware. I had to pay $30 to ship the monitor to them, but they fixed the hardware failure and sent it back and no issues since then.Update: Out of the box one of the monitors would flicker and turn off very sporadically, but I thought it was a dock issue with my old laptop. Last week, I got a new laptop with a new dock. Today, my monitor that occasionally flickers and turns off went black and will not come back. Power button light turns on and cycles from blue to orange depending on if it is active, but nothing on the monitor. Not cheap monitors for only 2 years of use and now a failure. Outside of that, I generally like the monitor.

This pair of VP2468 H2 monitors are exactly what we needed. Out of the box the two are identical in color, etc. to the naked eye. Black is very well balanced across the entire surface as well. They came with individual color calibration sheets which were very close to each other "on paper". We mounted them on a Vivo clamp on, two monitor stand. We're using the Displayport MTS connections. This does require MTS to be manually turned on. Easy, once you find it under the main menu. The rear mounted menu buttons are our only minor complaint, as access is limited, especially to the left monitor's buttons when it is up against the right monitor. But really... once it's setup, how often do you need to access the buttons? The no-foam, mostly cardboard packaging is HUGELY appreciated as we are trying to lessen our environmental impact. The Vivo mount is similarly packaged as well.We're doing editing of worship services and special events for broadcast in Adobe Premiere with a relatively high performance Dell Optiplex. Upgraded AMD RX550, M.2 boot drive, SSD storage, 32GB of ram, 9th gen i7, Focusrite 4i4, JBL 305P mkII and M-Audio AV-30 monitors.2x24" monitors are plenty of screen space, and the color is spot on. Two screen setup is definitely a big boost in productivity for office style work as well. We're just a few days in at this point. I'll post again if there are any issues, but as of now... we couldn't be happier. Thanks View Sonic!
