ViewSonic XG271QG 27 Inch 1440p 1ms 240Hz IPS Gaming Monitor with GSYNC, NVIDIA Reflex, DisplayHDR 400, RGB Lighting, and Advanced Ergonomics for Esports

First off I purchased this ViewSonic 1440p- 240HZ - GSYNC - Nano IPS monitor from NewEgg but nonetheless I’ve been totally satisfied with this product. I also have the prior 27” ViewSonic 144hz (165hz OC) model right beside it for a very clean dual monitor set-up.The input lag (lack thereof), response time, 240HZ refresh rate w/ GYSNC combined with fantastic color reproduction make for a phenomenal gaming experience and general purpose / entertainment monitor.Currently I’m not able to fully take advantage of this monitor’s enormous capabilities (2K@240hz) as I’m still rocking a 1080Ti - 8700K - 16GB DDR4@ 3600MHZ -etc but I’m still enjoying it.I can do OverWatch at a lock solid 240HZ @ 1440p “medium” however and it’s really nice. Destiny 2 at nearly max settings I’m generally averaging ~ 120fps but goes down quite a bit during really demanding stuff.Sometime next month I’ll have all may parts ready to build my RTX 4070Ti build - RYZEN 9 7800X3D - 32GB DDR5 6000MHZ CL30 - 2TB WD_Black SN850X NVMe - Etc. with this build this monitor should be absolutely phenomenal and I can’t wait! This set-up should easily DOUBLE my FPS over my aging GTX 1080Ti build.Update: Ended up with the following build:White Lain Li Dynamic EVO w/ Lain Li FansAsus ROG STRIX X670E-F MotherboardCorsair RMx Shift Series RM1000x 80+ Gold PSUGigabyte Gaming OC RTX 4090 (+133MHz Core / + 200 mem stable via MSI curve editor)Ryzen 9 7900X CPU - 12core / 24 threads (-30) all cores except core 5@ (-15) via curve optimizer / PBO / +100MHz boost clock to 5.8GHz)DeepCool LT720 CPU Cooler, 360mm (Thermal Grizzly Paste)G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series - EXPO "Tweaked" DDR5 64GB (2X32GB) 6000MHZ / 30CLWD_Black SN850X NVMe M.2 2TB X 2 / 4TB Total M.2 NVMe + 1TB SATA Samsung 850 pro + 1TB external via USB-C Samsung 980 6TB Total Storage.* Couldn't be more pleased with this ViewSonic ELITE XG271QG 27 inch 1440p / 240Hz / IPS/ GSYNC monitor.Some suggest that the RTX 4090 is somehow "overkill" for anything below "4K" but I strongly disagree, I believe 1440p/ 240Hz is OPTIMAL for anything from say the RTX 4070 to 4090.Even older titles such as Cyberpunk 2077, Control, Halo Infinite are very arguably best experienced at 1440p for a solid 90+FPS experience. As time goes on 1440p will only continue to prove itself the OPTIMAL resolution for high end GPU's.I have a LG 4K OLED / 120Hz/ VRR display and the visual impact of going from 1440p > 4K isn't nearly as profound as going from 1080p > 1440p - Diminished returns has been my experience beyond 1440p when it comes to gaming. Now I just use my LG 4K OLED for watching the occasional movie.Never would I for example choose 4k/ 60fps over 1440p/ 90fps.

I feel like this is an incredibly ideal monitor! The 2k resolution is perfect for the screen size, the hdr works great, and the out of the box color accuracy is the best I’ve seen for a gaming monitor.

The panel itself works great, Viewsonic's engineering team dropped the ball with mainboard circuitry. If you use the OSD menu to turn off the indicator light, which is a huge obtrusive blue light in the lower right corner of the bezel, the PCB also cuts off power to all of the USB ports on the monitor. Seriously? I'll be opening a ticket with Viewsonic about this.Also the bottom USB lights are wish dot com level of quality. The diffusers used for the back LED needs to have been used for the bottom ones. Had to turn RGB off because of the poor implementation.

Was tired of frame capping every game with a 3080, decided to buy this and I definitely notice a diff from 144hz. Colors are great out of box, less ips glow than my other monitors. Stand is substantial and heavy. Didnt really mess with anything in the OSD because didnt feel the need to change response time etc. Provided dp cable supports 240hz and thankfully is decent length. It has speakers but hope you’re not buying this for them, pretty bad.

I Was thinking about getting Alienware AW271D but saw this instead and even though I took a gamble because there aren’t many reviews on this monitor Im glad I bought it. Saved my self $300. I have zero complaints about this product I like the built and love the picture quality and performance at first It took me a while to calibrate the picture settings but boy after I tuned it to my liking I love it. I would recommend this monitor 10/10 You really get your money’s worth with this one. Gotta say tho the front bottom LED lights strips are better left turned off they’re not all that great. Back LED strip are Pretty solid tho.

Excellent performance for the price esports and cinematic games both look amazing.
