Additionally, auto-screen rotation allows for switching between portrait and landscape modes, making this monitor a good companion for both work as well as entertainment purposes.

  • Analyst Take

The use of secondary monitors has increased in recent times as they help enhance productivity and comfort while working. Adding a camera to the secondary monitor was a great convenience during calls. Also to maintain privacy some monitors had a pop-up camera.

All the product showcases were designed by prioritizing user friendliness in basic functions such as camera and mic setup for calls. ViewSonic’s workstation monitors are equipped with AI features to reduce noise from both parties involved in calls. Eco-friendly packaging was a good step toward sustainability. Having a C port for most of the products is also appreciated.

ViewSonic has an impressive range of monitors and displays to meet the needs of gamers, professionals, and everyday users. However, in this competitive market dominated by brands such as Acer, Dell, and ASUS, it seems many consumers are not as familiar with this brand. To improve awareness, we suggest focusing on marketing efforts like working with tech influencers, creating more engaging social media content, and sponsoring more gaming or tech events like this one. A strategic push in branding and visibility could significantly elevate the market presence and unlock new growth opportunities for ViewSonic.

To help more consumers discover and choose ViewSonic’s products, we suggest improving the brand’s visibility and working on closer collaboration with e-commerce platforms. Currently, ViewSonic products show up on the third page of Flipkart search results when searching for ‘monitors’. On Amazon, the first ViewSonic product appears on the fifth page. improving placements on these platforms can also make it easier for customers to find the brand’s products. Combined with effective marketing campaigns, this can greatly increase ViewSonic’s presence and recognition in the competitive monitor market.

Counterpoint recognizes the display industry’s immense growth potential. To strengthen our capabilities in this space, we recently acquired Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC).
