ViewSonic VG2452 24" Black 2025

The VG2452's connectivity is the absolute best right now, landing in the 99th percentile with three USB-C ports, Thunderbolt, and 65W power delivery. The ergonomic stand is also a standout at the 91st percentile. But the display quality is below average and user sentiment is a rough 4th percentile, so this is a niche pick for desk setups that need serious port expansion, not a monitor for people who care about picture quality.

Let's talk about what this monitor actually does well. The 100Hz refresh rate is a nice bump over the standard 60Hz you get on most office monitors, and Adaptive-Sync keeps things smooth if you're doing light gaming or just scrolling through spreadsheets. The 5ms response time is fine for productivity but won't impress anyone chasing fast-paced gaming. The IPS panel delivers 99% sRGB coverage and 350 nits of brightness, which puts color performance solidly above average but nowhere near the top of the charts.

The real story here is connectivity. Three USB-C ports, Thunderbolt support, HDMI, DisplayPort, and a 5-port USB hub. That's the 99th percentile in our database, and it means you can run a laptop, charge it at 65W, and connect peripherals all through one cable. The built-in speakers are a nice touch, though they're not going to replace a decent pair of headphones. The 110W power draw is on the higher side for a 24-inch monitor, which makes sense given all the ports doing double duty as a hub.

Stacked against the competition, the VG2452 is a weird one. The MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 and ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACDNG are in a completely different league for display quality, with QD-OLED panels that make this IPS screen look washed out by comparison. The LG UltraGear 27G810A-B and Samsung Odyssey G7 G75F both offer higher refresh rates and better gaming performance. But none of those monitors match the VG2452's connectivity. Three USB-C ports with Thunderbolt and 65W power delivery is a productivity feature set that those gaming-focused competitors simply don't have. The BenQ MA270U is probably the closest rival in spirit, aimed at office users, but it still doesn't match the port selection here. So the VG2452 wins on connectivity and ergonomics, loses on display quality and overall features.

Pricing on the VG2452 is all over the place depending on where you shop. In the US, you'll see prices ranging from USD 180 to USD 240 across six listings. That's a USD 60 spread for the exact same monitor, which is worth paying attention to. The lower end of that range feels reasonable for what you get, especially if you value the USB-C hub and ergonomic stand. At USD 240, you're creeping into territory where better displays start showing up. In Canada, the spread is CAD 303 to CAD 350, a CAD 47 difference. If you're shopping in the US, aim for the USD 180 end. If you're in Canada, the CAD 303 listing is the one to grab. The single GBP 449 listing in the UK is a much harder sell given the exchange rate reality.

The ViewSonic VG2452 is a 24-inch 1080p IPS monitor that's trying to be the Swiss Army knife of office displays. The headline numbers are a 100Hz refresh rate, 350 nits of brightness, and a connectivity suite that lands in the 99th percentile of our database. That's not a typo. This thing has more ports than some docking stations, including three USB-C ports and Thunderbolt support. But the user sentiment score sits at a rough 4th percentile, which is a red flag we can't ignore. More on that later.

At its core, this is a productivity monitor with a 5-port USB hub and 65W USB-C power delivery. The ergonomic stand is a genuine standout, hitting the 91st percentile with full tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustment. The display itself is more middle of the pack, with color performance around the 68th percentile and overall display quality landing at 39th. So you're not buying this for the panel. You're buying it for the ports and the stand.

If you care about display quality, skip this one. The panel ranks at the 39th percentile, which means most monitors in this category look better. Creative professionals should also look elsewhere, since the creative use case score is a mediocre 54.5 out of 100. And if you're someone who relies on community feedback before buying, the 4th percentile user sentiment score and near-empty Q&A section should be a dealbreaker. There's just not enough real-world data to trust this monitor for anything beyond basic office work. Gamers should also pass, since the 5ms response time and 100Hz refresh rate won't keep up with the competition from MSI, ASUS, or LG.

The ViewSonic VG2452 is a monitor with a split personality. The connectivity and ergonomics are genuinely excellent, ranking at the 99th and 91st percentiles respectively. If you're setting up a desk where one cable needs to handle video, data, and laptop charging, this monitor does that job better than almost anything else in our database. But the display itself is below average, and the user sentiment score of 4th percentile is hard to overlook. With only 8 reviews and a 4.1 rating, there's just not enough real-world feedback to feel confident about long-term reliability. At USD 180, it's a reasonable buy for the right use case. At USD 240, you should probably look elsewhere.
