ViewSonic VG2457V 24 Inch 24" Black Review

The ViewSonic VG2457V is a 24-inch monitor built for one thing: video calls. It bundles a webcam, mic, speakers, and a 90W USB-C dock into a compact frame, scoring in the 96th percentile for connectivity. Just don't expect a dazzling display—its panel specs are firmly average. For under $400, it's a tidy all-in-one solution for remote workers.

The ViewSonic VG2457V is a monitor that knows exactly what it is: a dedicated video conferencing hub. It scores a 65.8 out of 100 for office use in our database, which is solid, but its overall score of 57.4 tells you it's a specialist. It's not trying to be a gaming powerhouse or a color-accurate studio display. Instead, it bundles a pop-up webcam, speakers, a mic, and a 90W USB-C dock into a single 24-inch frame, aiming to clean up your desk and your meeting setup in one go.

Where it really shines is in its physical design and connectivity. It lands in the 96th percentile for connectivity and the 93rd for being compact, which means it's packed with ports but doesn't take over your desk. The 88th percentile ergonomic score confirms the height, tilt, and swivel adjustments are top-tier for the category. But you're trading away raw display performance for these conveniences, with its display and color scores sitting in the 40th and 30th percentiles, respectively.

Let's be clear: 'performance' for this monitor means something different. It's not about refresh rates for gaming. Its core performance metric is how well it facilitates video calls, and that's where its integrated hardware stack matters. The 1080p pop-up webcam with Windows Hello support, the built-in 5W stereo speakers, and the microphone are all designed to work together out of the box. The 90W USB-C port is the star here, landing that 96th percentile connectivity score. It delivers power, video, and data over a single cable to your laptop, which is a huge desk-clearing win.

As a pure display, it's middle-of-the-road. The 100Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time are fine for general office work and smoother scrolling, but they're not competitive for serious gaming. The 250-nit brightness and 1080p resolution on a 24-inch panel are adequate for a well-lit office, but you won't get the punch or sharpness of higher-end panels. Its display performance percentile of 50 is the definition of average, which is perfectly acceptable for its intended job.

At around $390, the value proposition is straightforward. You're not paying for a premium panel. You're paying for convenience and integration. That price gets you a monitor, a webcam, speakers, a microphone, and a powerful USB-C dock. Buying those items separately from decent brands would easily surpass $390 and create cable chaos. So, if your primary need is a clean, professional meeting setup, the VG2457V offers a compelling bundle. Just know that every dollar is going towards the 'conference room in a box' experience, not towards cutting-edge screen technology.

Compared to general office monitors like a basic Dell or HP 24-inch model, the VG2457V wins on integrated features and connectivity but likely loses on price-per-panel-quality. Against dedicated webcam monitors from other brands, its 90W USB-C power delivery and strong ergonomics are key differentiators. It's not competing with the Samsung Odyssey or ASUS ROG Swift monitors listed—those are in a different galaxy for gaming. A fairer comparison might be to a Dell UltraSharp with a built-in webcam, where the ViewSonic often undercuts on price while offering similar core conferencing features. The trade-off is usually in brand prestige and sometimes panel quality, where Dell might have an edge.

Skip the VG2457V if you're a creative professional, a hardcore gamer, or just want the best picture quality for the money. Its color performance sits in the 30th percentile and its display score in the 40th, meaning you're getting a very basic panel. If your primary tasks are photo editing, consuming HDR content, or competitive gaming, this monitor's strengths are irrelevant and its weaknesses will frustrate you. Spend your $390 on a monitor with a better panel instead.

We recommend the ViewSonic VG2457V if you live on Zoom, Teams, or Meet and want a single, tidy solution. The data backs this up: its high scores in connectivity, compactness, and ergonomics directly support a better meeting and desk experience. Its weaknesses in display and color performance (30th-40th percentiles) are real, but they're secondary concerns for its target user. If you need a monitor for color-critical work, media consumption, or gaming, look elsewhere. But for turning any desk into a professional-looking home office video booth, this monitor is a data-backed, clutter-killing specialist.
