ViewSonic ELITE XG270 27 Inch 1080p 1ms 240Hz IPS Gaming Monitor with GSYNC Compatible, Advanced RGB Lighting and Advanced Ergonomics for Esports

The media could not be loaded. Amazing monitor. The PureXP+ is the best way to get ghosting free and accurate controls. I'm a competitive Street Fighter player and the PureXP+ along overclocking is almost there in comparison to a CRT monitor. The sRGB preset is the same as my Macbook Pro in both color, pixel density and quality of the screen so this could be used for work involving color accuracy (photoshot, etc). There isnt any input lag playing both FPS and fighting games that I can notice (30+ years playing fighting games in CRT, LCD, projectors, VA, IPS, etc). There are 2 presets where I have it one for gaming and another for color accuracy and work fine. If the 4k was cheaper I wouldve got that one.The video is from the first monitor I got. After a couple weeks of use it got that bar of flickering pixels which after searching the net and asking a few people they all suggested to exchange. The exchange process with Amazon was a pain since the CSR Mabel is really the CSR from hell. Good thing the escalation I asked for 10 minutes got thru and a lead CSR helped me with the return process. I suggest Amazon to return to the old prepaid label with everything in it because the UPS QR isnt accepted anywhere here. I'm raising awareness to return to the old method since the worst part of my experience (getting a dud of a tech product isnt rare) but hauling the thing back and forth and then getting an absolutely awful CSR just got me wary of buying more stuff here and going thru the same problem again.

You have to know what you're getting for your $: it's a 1080p monitor. If you want 4K or 1440, then that's your deciding factor and you already know that you want that increased resolution, and you'll look elsewhere. If you're looking for 1080p with bells and whistles, this is THE ONE.I have a upper mid-range (or lower high-end, if you prefer) self built gaming rig, and the last thing I ended up buying for it was this monitor. I spent a looooot of time working through articles and reviews, bleeding edge discussions, and wikipedia and google searches trying to whittle down my preferred monitor, and only saw this monitor in passing . . . EXCEPT . . . I went to "Blur-Busters" with my current monitor because I wanted to get a feel for what I wanted when I saw the new "Blur-Busters Approved" blurb. I went to the list to see what was there because this is a new thing they're trying to get in the industry, and this was the only monitor on the list (so far). So I looked a little harder at it, and I got excited, a little more research, and I made the plunge. I was skeptical about having only DP1.2 considering it's cranking out a 240Hz refresh with less than 1ms GTG, but reviews were great (except people were talking about about no HDR -- more on that later).Worth every penny!1) The screen is amazingly fresh and stable2) G-Sync compatibility works automatically with current drivers (don't forget to change your resolution to PC - 1080p - 240Hz . . . Win10 defaults to HD - 1080p - 60Hz -- UNLESS you want HDR, read on)3) Color and brightness are very well matched at default calibration without any fiddling with the OSD4) With the tuning the "Blur-Buster" guys did with Viewsonic on the refresh strobing, it's liquid smooth when the 2080 is pumping out serious frames at any refresh.Now, I wanted it all, and posted pics as proof: HDR10 with G-Sync at a 120Hz refresh. DP1.2 CAN run HDR10, even though compliance came out in DP1.4. Stated by VESA guidelines, it's basically all about bandwidth. DP1.2 will run HDR10 if . . . AND ONLY IF . . . you allow enough room on the signal for the 25% extra data that 10bpp has over 8bpp. There are two ways to do this (easily): reduce resolution, or reduce refresh rate. HDR10 will run with a DP1.2 or higher rated cable, if you lower your refresh to 120Hz to allow it room on the bus, because let's face it . . . we're not going to lower our resolution, right?!Tested on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, G-Sync at 120Hz with HDR10 is buttery smooth and amazing! Everything I've tested has worked, and been stutter, tear, and blur free, with amazing color and light and dark contrast.Get this monitor, it's a beast!

I was looking for a good monitor that could run with both my desktop PC and my Macbook pro if I needed the extra screen space. After much research I stumbled upon this monitor. First let me just say that if you intend to game, 144hz is something you won't realize you needed until you have it. With that alone I would recommend this monitor for the price. Below I am going to list some pros and cons of the monitor and try to answer some of the questions that I had when purchasing.Pros:- The overall picture quality for a monitor in this price range is great for all forms of use (Gaming, work, browsing and shows) One recommendation I would have would be to adjust the picture settings to your liking upon receiving it.- The Stand. I really didn't think this is something I would care about, I mean after all it's just a stand. The one included with this monitor is so much better than those just offering a slight tilt or height adjustment. Especially if you are working with minimal space I have been able to make it work for my liking.- The speakers. All in all monitor and tv speakers are not great and I would always recommend picking up a pair of external ones for a good setup. The ones included in the monitor are above average and will work for whatever you may need. They won't blow you away with their quality, but upon purchasing they also wont make you constantly be thinking you need external speakers.- All of the built in technology (FreeSync, 1ms response time, etc.) The tiny features that ViewSync has been able to put into this monitor is great! I have been blown away with just what I have been able to do with some customization in the settings.Cons:- As any TN panel would be it is not great with color accuracy in all conditions. So just be aware if you are by a window or a brighter light, that your settings may need to be tweaked slightly more than some of the top rated custom settings for this device.Notes:- RGB. To be entirely honest I was not the biggest fan of the RGB when I received the device. Even as someone who has their PC and all peripherals with RGB. The monitor has back facing lights that are not very bright nor extremely customizable. I would highly recommend getting the non RGB if you do not need it and saving a little money. Besides those back lights I have not found any more "elite" features that you get with this.- If you can, buy two. This is not a necessity, but more something I would recommend for anyone. Two monitors is one of those things you don't realize was so useful until you have it. Especially if you are not into gaming it is great for productivity, I am a college student and have loved being able to have a word document on one side with my research on the other monitor.- Lastly, does the screen size really matter? One of the main questions I had when getting this was whether or not I would like the extra real estate. After going with the 24" monitor I can say this is the perfect screen size for a 1080p panel. Everything is crisp and accurate but trying to stretch that same pixel density over a larger panel would be and is noticeable. Plus, at the average desk setup, where one is sitting approx. 2-3 feet away, it would just be too large of a display. My recommendation is the 24"
