While the ViewSonic V3D231 may not be the smallest or thinnest monitor we have seen recently, this 23” display does have a surprisingly small footprint. Otherwise, it retains all of the nondescript qualities we like in gaming monitors. It was also good to see a somewhat generous list of input options on this TN monitor. You may not get a DisplayPort, but you do get HDMI 1.4, analog VGA, and DVI which is a step up from some other sets on the market. This is in addition to the 3.5mm stereo-in port for the built-in SRS Premium speakers and a 3.5mm stereo-out port for headphones.
The software that accompanies the V3D231 consists of the TriDef package. This is where the magic happens. The TriDef suite is responsible for converting 2D images to 3D as well as interpreting 3D content in a manner that can be displayed on a passive 3D monitor.
Although the ViewSonic V3D231 has an impressive color gamut, it doesn’t have what we would consider an impressive default color profile. The colors are close to being accurate, but the forwardness of the red and blue defaults combined with a slightly weak green default hinder this monitor slightly. The result is a color profile which is close to excellent but not perfect. Thankfully, setting this right is nothing more than a quick and easy fix away. The default colors can make for a very odd color palette that will need to be corrected ASAP, but thanks in no small part to actual physical buttons and a decent onscreen display, manually tweaking the ViewSonic V3D231 to a semblance of correctness is a relatively quick and painless procedure. In grand total it took us approximately 12 minutes to get the colors close, with an additional 10 minutes to dial them in as close to perfection as we could. It was then a relatively simple procedure to adjust the gamma via Windows’ built-in mode. In grand total it took us less than half an hour to get what was a fairly poor color profile to one that would be acceptable to all but the most finicky of users. Source
