Viewsonic professional series monitors with us for review, the VP2655wb. Based on IPS technology, the monitor measures 25.5inch diagonally and sports a full HD resolution of 1920x1200 resolution. Thanks to the IPS panel it boasts of a 118% NTSC color gamut and a very good viewing angle of 178-degree horizontal and vertical. The typical contrast ratio is 1000:1 and comes with 400cd/m2 brightness, which is just what you need from a professional series monitor for graphics and multimedia.

The VP5526wp sports the typical Viewsonic design we've seen over the years for their professional series monitors. In fact it does not look all that different from the old one that we tested over a year back. The bezel from the front is not very wide with the panel recessed a bit. All the buttons are lined up in the front with a blue power LED.

The stand is rock solid and very heavy but occupies quite a bit of space on your desk. The tripod like stand is very wide and provides good support with no wobble. The height adjustment is very simple once you remove the safety pin from the back. You can easily lift the stand with two fingers. There are two loops in the rear for cable management. There are just two display ports, VGA and DVI, and four USB downstream ports. The funny thing is that Viewsonic has chosen to place all of them underneath, where it's out of reach, instead of the sides.
