Viewsonic is introducing the smallest 5K monitor ever and I just hope it goes on sale this time
- Viewsonic VP2788-5K has a diagonal of 27 inches and an integrated KVM
- It should be available in March 2025, but Viewsonic hasn’t revealed the price
- Viewsonic launched an 8K monitor at CES 2021, but it never came to market
Viewsonic will unveil its latest monitor, the VP2788-5K, at the upcoming Pepcom Digital Experience in January 2025.
The 27-inch screen (via TechPowerUp) aims to make this the smallest 5K (5120 x 2880) resolution monitor on the market.
ViewSonic will launch several other displays at the event, including the VG2748N, a 27-inch 1080p monitor that offers wireless casting capabilities, and the XG275D-4K gaming monitor, which offers 4K resolution with switchable refresh rates.
High-resolution ViewSonic monitors
ViewSonic’s VP2788-5K is a compact device with a 99% DCI-P3 color gamut and robust connectivity options including Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, USB-C and A, and DisplayPort.
The monitor is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2025, possibly before the end of March.
Personally, I’m cautious about getting too excited about the VP2788-5K, as ViewSonic’s previous 8K offering, the VP3286-8K, never made it to market.
Nevertheless, Jeff Muto, the company’s Business Line Director, said, “ViewSonic is excited about its new product offering in 2025.”
“Our new desktop monitors, along with our current portfolio of portable displays,” he continued, “demonstrate how ViewSonic continues to expand its display solutions to deliver more choices, features and functionality for every type of work or leisure lifestyle.”
