ViewSonic Elite XG240R 24 Inch 1080p 1ms 144Hz RGB Gaming Monitor with FreeSync Eye Care Advanced Ergonomics for Esports, Black

Comment

So I was going to get the XG2402 model and I saw this was just released. Basically RGB and says Elite. This is not Elite by any means. The writing on the monitor is smeared. Also there is backlight bleed on a tn panel... stay far away my friends.

This monitor doesnt work in Windows 7. Drivers dont work and computer doesnt see it. Have been working with support but nothing has worked. Going to have to return it and buy different monitor.

I bought this monitor months ago, and returned it. It took a whole month to get my money back! First defect: The freesync never worked. I turned on freesync in the Radeon settings and in the monitor settings. I still saw two horizontal tears simultaneously!!! This happened in every game. Second defect: While moving about in a game, a grid could be seen. This was actually the worst defect. This happened in every game. The third issue is not a defect, it is inherent to all 27" 1080p monitors. You will be able to see the pixels easily in any 27" monitor at 1080p. Larger screens need higher resolutions to look good. I read other negative reviews after buying the monitor, my mistake. Viewsonic used to be a reputable brand, about 20 years ago! I used to have a Viewsonic CRT. Every company changes after 20 years. This one for the worse. Im still using my old monitor, which is fine for now. It doesnt have freesync, but I didnt pay for that. When I get around to picking a new monitor, it will be one that is praised on some discussion forum. I recommend you do the same.

Nice monitor but HDMI 2.0 port 1 does not work. Only display port and the port 2 hdmi (not 2.0) works. Large, great stand, plays my games beautifully at 144hz on ultra settings, smooth game play. I am not using freesync and it still looks great. Downside is I cant use the hdmi 2.0 port which to me lowers its value significantly.

The monitor has great colors. Games very nicely. Slight blurring on UFO test, with bit more blurring with the darker background. I was surprised to see that it is a 10 bit color panel, not sure if true 10 bit or 8 bit + FRC (Edit: NVidia Control Panel only allowed me to set 8 bit color. 10-bit color was in the drop down, but I could not get the setting to apply). No signs of light bleed. Uniformity is ok, not impressive. About average for these large panels. The only issue I have with it is that blacks are so dark. On black level adjustment at 2.0 gamma, the 1-4 boxes are indiscernible. Going to 1.8 gamma would correct that, but everything appears more washed out. Since my eyes are light sensitive, I keep the panel darker than most I think. Probably not an issue for most. Freesync seems to work smoother with AMD cards than NVidia at lower frame rates. (Edit 6/13/2019: Definite stutter with a 1080ti while its very smooth with AMD. Some games are ok, and others definite stutter, even though better frame rate on nvidia. Deduct full star for the slightly but consistently stuttering NVidia usage). Part of original review: The first monitor showed up with zero dead pixels, then developed one or two over the course of the first 1.5 days of usage. The second monitor had two dead right of the box and the box is a bit damaged. A bit disappointing. ViewSonic support from comments exchanged it for a new monitor, which has zero pixels, and is great. At this point, not sure I would get a monitor again through Amazon. As the box for the second monitor had some damage.

I was having issues finding a good gaming monitor. After pixel issues with other brands and bad IPS glow with an IPS panel and not liking curve monitors I found the one and its this viewsonic monitor. Colors are great for TN panel. You get all the TN panel perks such as fast response times. Gamers this is rated one of the best monitors from rtings for input lag. Only downside is viewing angles which plague all TN panels but I sit infront of my monitor 99% of the time. Im giving it a 5 but its more like a 4.75 cause the bezel is big, weights alot, and OSD controls are little hard to use but they are all minor things. Picture and performance is great thats what matters most. Had to downgrade this to 3stars. After using it for a week I noticed the panel had very bad backlight clouding. Playing DMC 5 the backlight was showing up in the game.

So after a couple days calibrating it to my liking, Im surprised how amazing games and movies look on it. G-sync works well and so does HDR (though I leave it off for realistic colors). No dead pixels or lines anywhere on my screen. The speakers are loud and audio is better than expected. The only bad thing I can point out is the base stand takes half my desk, making the monitor way too close to me. I would recommend getting a vesa mount to save your eyeballs from exploding.

I purchased two of them and there was a big variation between both of them. One had a more warm color, the other a more neutral. That may be my graphics card, or the monitors themselves since I have had this happen with my previous 4k IPS displays. The second one I got either got a dead pixel within 30 minutes or it was there and I didnt notice it. Spoke with Amazon, got a replacement, no issues since. Im not faulting ViewSonic for it though, because it happens when something is mass produced. Overall, if you know the con of TN panels (Somewhat washed out colors) for the trade off (Higher response time) you will be pleasantly surprised with just how good these panels can look.

Install Flash Player The XG240R is worth every penny, I love this monitor whole heartedly. The picture quality is very good although with that being said I’ve messed with the OSD settings to make it so. The screen quality is nice and smooth, gaming in 144hz with this monitor is so magical I sometimes feel like I’m dreaming, it really is an ethereal experience. The RGB on the back just adds to the experience, very minimalist shaped lights that are customizable via Cooler Master Plus software. The all black design of the monitor mixed with the nice touch of minimalist RGB in the back truly make this specific monitor an aesthetic piece. The ergonomics are fantastic, this thing puts other monitors to shame in terms of flexibility and movement. A con that dissapointed me was the cable holding piece provided, very cheap plastic that’s easy to break when struggling to inplant it - be wary of using force with this item or else it’ll break like mine did. Monitor comes with a manual, RGB quick guide, display port cable, cable holding piece, USB cable for the RGB and screws ready for building. Overall this monitor has surpassed all of my expectations and I’m ecstatic that this was my first monitor to experience the smoothness of 144hz gaming with. Fully endorsed despite the unfortunate cable holding piece, do buy this monitor.
