ViewSonic 24" 1080p 1ms 144 Hz Gaming Monitor with FreeSync Eye Care Advanced Ergonomics HDMI and DP (XG2401)

Comment

Pros: - Awesome adjustable stand. - Good color accuracy with a little fiddling. - Does everything its supposed to performance-wise. - Looks nice. Cons: - Navigating menus can be a little annoying. - Included DisplayPort cable is only 5 feet. I have enjoyed my time with this monitor and have yet to have any significant problems. I would easily recommend this anyone looking for a FreeSync 1080p monitor. The display quality coupled with the monitor stand makes a great setup for the price. The DisplayPort cable is a bit short for my tastes, so measure how long you need your cable to be before you buy (Cable is ~60 inches/5 feet). I just bought a larger one, so it wasnt a big enough annoyance to take off a star.

Get the latest drivers from 1/15/19. Open the display settings on the LCD itself, to activate freesync. Your GTX Nvidia card can now enable Freesync in the settings. ;) Yes, its a kickn awesome screen.

I love it! Its my first 144hz monitor and trying it out on games that could run over 60fps will have you amazed because of how simply smoother it is than 60. The colors are great but I do have another monitor thats LED and I could certainly tell my LED is much more vibrant than this one. No matter what settings I tried adjusting this monitor, my LED was far better. But I consider it to be a small drawback. As I said, I love how much smoother everything is and I do not regret the purchase at all. You can raise the monitor vertically or tilt it to your viewing angle and even rotate it right or left. It does bring the Display Port like it says and the Freesync is easy to set up. Literally a push of a button for this monitor.

My computers specifications: GPU: NVIDIA GTX 970 CPU: i5-4590 RAM: 8 GB Bought for $260 on January 30, 2017. 2 dead pixels on arrival. Returned February 6, 2017 for $0. Replacement arrived February 8, 2017. Upgraded from a ASUS VH236H monitor (60 Hz, 1080). Mainly play Overwatch and Dirt Rally. Requires a little calibration at first, so I used Toms Hardwares calibration settings. You may need to Google "Toms Hardware XG2401" to find it. Great monitor. I do think the comments you see people share (for example, "OMG! Life-changing! Youll never go back!"-type comments) from time to time is a bit exaggerated. You can still see individual frames if you intently search for them during extremely fast movements, but in actual practice while playing games you probably wont notice it. Going through fast movements on this 144 Hz screen is quite better than going through the same fast movements on my 60 Hz screen. The monitor is smooth, and it shows on both Overwatch and Dirt Rally. I turn my graphics down to roughly "medium" to "medium-low" settings to keep up with the 144 Hz since I dont have an AMD graphics card for Freesync. The monitor did first arrive with 2 dead pixels on the left side, but I didnt notice it until later that night. Returned it, and a replacement arrived 2 days later. No dead pixels with the second monitor. Very fast and painless process on Amazons part. This is a very solid entry level 144 Hz monitor without all the fancy bells and whistles of more expensive monitors. Im enjoying the monitor even with an NVIDIA graphics card, but I imagine that this monitor would be an even better investment for those with AMD graphics cards.

excellent quality, sturdy as a tank, has options to change response time among other things, the ASUS of equal specs that I bought is cheap compared to these monitors, could not recommend more highly, like the other reviewer here says "never heard of viewsonic so I was skeptical" well, take it from him and me, it is an excellent monitor, have purchased two, the ASUS we recently got was cheaper, but.. its also cheaper quality, would recommend this monitor any day of the week over the ASUS! also, this comes with all cords you could need vs asus only coming with a DVI...

Purchased 2 24in. 144hz freesync, only vertical tilt. Great product. Got two I have been using for a couple weeks. The panels look pretty good despite being tn. Cant beat 144hz with freesync and vesa mount compatible for $150. Got an inexpensive dual arm vesa mount to go with them, and its been a dream. I had heard that high refresh rates could make a difference, and they really do (especially in games like Rocket League, which is the only game I play where it makes more than an aesthetic difference).

I had no problems setting this up. I will be getting another for dual monitors. Its that good. Especially for the price. I concur, the brightness was set to 100 (max) out of the box. I had to turn it down. The colors are fantastic. I use the DP port in my Geforce GTX 1070 ti and the refresh rate is 144hz. Confirmed.

This monitor worked for about 3 months no issue but then the contrast would start to flare up and then some heavy ghosting/burn in would occur for about bit under 5 minutes at times and it went away on its own at first. Then it finally happened to where it it would show horrible ghosting all the time along with the contrast boosting itself up making the mouse cursor nearly invisible and just completely unusable in general. Had to RMA it and thankfully got a new working monitor (for now) cost about 55$ to ship back though. The picture quality is fine and the refresh rate is great. Hopefully this new unit that was delivered has not issues in the future otherwise this would be a 5 star review.

This monitor is great. It works exactly as advertised and I can really see a difference when playing games. My only complaint, and the reason Im giving it a 4-star instead of 5, is that the settings out of the box are completely terrible. When I first plugged the monitor in I thought it was broken or something because everything looked so bad. I dont remember exactly where but I found someone elses recommended settings online and tried those out and now it looks great. I wish they would make the factory settings more ideal and let people turn them down if they need to, instead of the opposite, making it look bad and letting people turn it up if they need to, mainly because its hard to figure out how to do it

This is a pretty solid monitor. It is so easy to put together a monkey can do it, a really dumb monkey. This was fantastic because when I was assembling it at 2 am my intelligence was probably that of a dumb monkey. It comes mostly put together from right out of the box, you just have to screw in the bottom piece and its ready to go. The display needs a little tweaking but not too much, I just followed another guys settings in another comment. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the speakers. They of course arent the best but are pretty decent for built in speakers. My biggest gripe with this monitor is that I feel like the buttons to enter and exit should be switched around, but even my dumb monkey brain got used to them after awhile. Over all good for the price.
