Review on 🔝 Enhance Your Viewing Experience with ViewSonic XG2401 FreeSync Monitor: Advanced Ergonomics, Full HD, Swivel & Pivot Adjustment, Anti-Glare Coating, HDMI by Luis Horne

First, here are my recommended settings: CONTRAST: 69 BRIGHTNESS: 60 (adjust according to the level of light around you) COLOR: custom color, red=95, green=95, blue=99 ECO MODE: default BLUE LIGHT FILTER: 0 ADVANCED PICTURE SETTING :VIEWMODE: StandardSMARTSYNC: OffFREESYNC: On (Remember to enable this via your GPU driver and set Windows to 144Hz via Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings " > View adapter properties > Monitor > Screen refresh speed. Otherwise you will not see any Freesync or 144 Hz.) Response Time: Enhanced LOW INPUT DELAY: Ultra-fast out of the way, let me just say one thing: the XG2401 really delivers. It has pretty much everything you could expect, from the ultra-low input lag (it's 3.38ms according to pcmonitors.info, which is incredibly fast for a modern display) to the color matching and response time (how fast pixels brightness/color change). ). . 144Hz really makes a difference and is noticeably smoother even on desktop or when browsing the web, not to mention video games. Speaking of video games, this monitor also supports free syncing. If you have an AMD card that supports Freesync, it means the monitor is essentially being forced to match the refresh rate of the graphics card. This means you can run your games at an unlocked framerate (vsync disabled) and there's absolutely no stuttering or tearing unless you go above 144 fps. Some games are fairly easy to run at 144fps, like Rocket League, while others are much more demanding, but loose sync means anything you run at up to 144fps looks perfectly smooth. Because it's a TN panel, color and black levels aren't particularly good compared to IPS LCDs. Regardless, this monitor has damn good color reproduction; However, the colors can appear a bit dull. Don't let that fool you though: the downside of a TN panel is that black levels, color and viewing angles suffer somewhat, but response times are considerably faster, which is essential for quality 144Hz playback. The slow response time results in lots of ghosting and blurring, and the 144 fps effect doesn't show; The fast response time makes every single frame stand out and looks super smooth. The optimal response time setting at 144 Hz is "Extended" because "Standard" is too slow and blurry and "Super Fast" has too much acceleration, causing annoying shadows behind fast-moving parts of the image. The XG2401 is an elegant and unobtrusive monitor. It's not flashy or distracting, and the red undertone is hidden behind the monitor and at its base. Also, the power indicator isn't visible from normal viewing angles, which is good because it's not distracting when gaming in the dark. The monitor has a matte screen finish, which has its pros and cons; It reduces the bright glare of the smooth glass screen, but also diffuses it across the screen and degrades the image quality a bit unless you're gaming in the dark. The monitor control buttons are located below the screen where they are fairly easy to find and use. Overall the XG2401 is a great product at a great price. While the picture quality (colour, black level) won't blow you away, it delivers good 144Hz sync and the price is cheap considering that. highlighted.
