My husband is a gaming nerd, I apologize he is a highly proficient gamer with a nack for pointing out all of the flaws with picture quality and speed of refresh. To summarize: I was sick of hearing him complain that he died because the refresh was not fast enough

This panel is probably the best looking TN panel out of the box you can get. If you happen to find one that isnt defective. I have three of these things sitting behind me now ready to go back to Amazon because the quality control on these panels is trash. Each panel has dead or stuck pixels. The company will tell you theres an "Acceptable Range" of pixel issues, but thats a policy thats NOT acceptable. you pay your hard earned money for a functioning panel, and they expect you to accept that youll have a black, red, or blue speck on your screen forever, and that you should just accept it as a thing that happens. Forget that. Refund it and move on to a company that cares about functioning pixels. While the pixels that DO work produce the best TN image on the market, the tiny black dots that ViewSonic is ok with ruin this monitor. Sorry ViewSonic, I cant trust you anymore.

After adjusting the color per an in-depth review site, I was pleasantly surprised by this, my first foray into 144Hz gaming! Versus 60Hz, it didnt exactly feel like I explicitly had more frames per second, but more like the image was just so much sharper, even while moving. It was markedly different! After the first day, I just sort of acclimated to it and I dont notice it, but Im sure going back to 60Hz would feel like a drag! My problem is that within two weeks, I got a line of always-blue pixels from the top to the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, I didnt buy with prime (which I usually always do, this just slipped by) and Amazons answer would have been to pay for half the cost of repairs at a repair center. Fortunately, it was within the return period, so I processed it as a return instead. Now to wait until it comes back in stock to try again! (Yes, I was otherwise happy enough with it to try again. It will be 5 stars if I get a functional unit!).

Excellent monitor. I play Rocket League and the predecessor to this monitor XG2401 was rated at a 10ms input lag response (One of the fastest 144hz monitors). I imagine this XG2402 is the same, if not better. In any case it changes the way I play RL for the better, especially coming from 60hz. Only 2 minor problems so far: 1. Buttons on front rock the monitor up and down when you press them. 2. The wire holder on the back is pretty flimsy and I almost broke it trying to put it on the stand. Otherwise very pleased and I recommend highly after about 2 weeks of use.

On my mom’s account to write a review on this monitor she got for me. Used it for a hour. The colors were a little washed out at first, so I calibrated it, the gamma, color saturation and brightness increased. I used Overwatch as my color reference to see how it was. I am picky with colors (artist, but won’t use monitor for that, recommend an IPS one for design) and have to say the color is impressive. Horizontal viewing angles are not bad. Acts like an IPS. Vertical though, oof, medium amount of color distortion. Not like I’ll sit on a ladder or floor though. Speakers are not the best, but I don’t dislike them. Won’t take off a star since they even did included them. Better than nothing. Getting a PC soon, but tried this on my Xbox One. The game tested, as I said was Overwatch. Performed very well. No lag or image quality issues. Thought there was a dead pixel but it turned out to be a little scrap of something. No big deal. The packaging itself came with the box, no protective box. It was okay though. Overall Pros: Image quality for a TN panel Smooth on console (will update once I get my PC) Menu buttons once you get used to them Diverse options for stand adjustments Cons: Speakers Nothing else so far

All the "plus" features are mentioned in the specifications already. Its really good. Except, drivers and usb slots. 1- Drivers cant be installed on a fully updated Win7 x64(I just reverted from Win10 just cause). Neither signed one nor unsigned. Thankfully, you dont need drivers for 144hz support. You can change it on Catalyst Control Center. 2- Location of usb3 ports are useless. I still have to get back of my pc to use them. But these are nothing. Im fine with the product:)

This monitor looks great in my opinion. Upon receiving it, I looked up setting suggestions on Reddit, and I cant complain at all. People that are complaining about it appearing "washed out" likely have it next to a window which has sunlight shining directly on it - I havent had that problem at all. It does in fact work at 144Hz, but it cant be overclocked to 165Hz like some other models. Make sure to use a display port cable - most people dont know that HDMI only supports 60Hz. I ordered a 4K monitor with this at the same time and only had one display port cable - Im not sure if this came with a display port cable, but Im pretty sure that it didnt and I used the cable from my 4K monitor; I would definitely double check the description to see if it comes with one or not. If not, but one separately.

Its a good monitor. Easy to assemble, good features in settings. Pros: 144hz - Looks amazing Easy to Assemble Great, symmetrical design. Adjustable Monitor position Cons: The Display-Port cable that comes with this monitor is bad. It will give the monitor a yellow tint if put in the monitor. Order a Cable-Matters display port cable if you want to have full, vibrant colors.

This monitor is excellent for 144hz however, a good amount of the colors on this monitor are washed out. The colors arent bad for a TN panel however, Ive seen more TN panels with better color representation then this monitor before. Still 4 stars because the gaming on this monitor has been amazing producing extremely smooth gameplay. This monitor goes very well with my RX 470 and would go well with any other AMD GPU as well.
