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

After years of waiting for the technology to mature and then reading many reviews online, I settled on this panel. A few years ago I preferred Samsung panels because of their consistently high quality. However, at the time of writing this article, Samsung has very few 144Hz models, so I had to look for an alternative. The Internet praises this panel for good colors for TN technology, a short response time and low input lag. When compared to my 2014 Samsung S24C300HL, the colors were pretty much

In the few days that I've had it, I've just been blown away by the monitor. This monitor replaces the BenQ RL2455HM for my computer and outperforms my old monitor in every way. Quick background: I had a 60Hz TN gaming monitor with an R9 390. I wanted to go up to 144Hz and Freesync. So, for around the same price, you can get either this monitor or the AOC G2460PF monitor (which is listed cheaper), which is 144Hz and Freesync compliant. There really isn't much of a difference between these two…

Firstly, I've come from a lot of monitors over the last 3 years. I have used Korean B+ 27" 1440p ips monitors overclocked to a 120Hz refresh rate and then also Acer 23" 60Hz ips monitors. My usage ranges from school work, email, surfing the web, and playing Battlefield 3/4. And I have to say that this Viewsonic monitor is my favorite. The 144Hz refresh rate and Freesync with my AMD 290 card is not only great for first person shooters but also easy on the eye for general desktop use and web…

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…

I did a lot of research before purchasing this monitor and was still skeptical when it arrived. The frame and overall look weren't nearly as sleek as the LG monitor it replaced, and my first impression was that it was bulky. There's a headphone stand on the back of the monitor, which is poorly designed and feels delayed. The package includes a monitor, an HDMI cable, a display port cable, a power cable and a USB cable for downloading monitor drivers. The included instructions are lacking and…

This is a gaming monitor that does exactly what it promises. Some people will complain that this is a TN panel with poor color accuracy and poor viewing angles and rate it for that. I don't think it's fair because it shouldn't be judged by that as it's not an IPS display. This monitor offers a smooth, immersive gaming experience. Games run absolutely smoothly and without stuttering, this is my first experience with a 144Hz monitor and I am completely satisfied. This is how every PC gamer should

The monitor is all I asked for. Excellent quality and picture. Good and clear. I can't give a full five because when the computer comes back on from sleep mode the image doesn't appear and I have to turn the computer off/on. Don't know if it's the computer itself or the monitor, but worth sharing. A STAR. If I could rate the shipping and packaging service it would be one star. The original closing tape on the box was already cut so they glued it to the sides instead. In addition, the goods were

Before you read this, I'm not a hardcore modern day gamer or a Nazi. But I've been in the computer gaming world since the late 80's. This monitor was very easy to assemble, took less than 5 minutes, it has an excellent build quality, for the price, pan, tilt/rotate etc just great. The picture is wonderful. I find that a 24" or maybe 27" PC monitor is about as big as you will ever need when viewed from no more than 2 feet away. I had a 34 inch LG 21x9 gaming monitor (sold it) a year ago and it…

This monitor comes standard with a high contrast ratio. Luckily, you can play around with the OSD and fix it so that the panel actually looks fine. The panel is also highly adjustable, movable up and down, and can also be rotated. The hook that protrudes from the rear column as a headphone holder is almost a joke. The column itself serves as the best mount in my experience. The 144Hz refresh rate combined with Freesync makes for a very smooth experience. I don't like the red color but it seems…

I love this monitor! I'm a gamer, mainly FPS games like Overwatch, but I also play other games. Before I bought this monitor I had a 60Hz monitor and am very glad I switched to 144Hz. My game is noticeably more active! Here is an overview: Pros: - 144Hz >>>>> 60Hz is definitely for FPS gamers! - Colors are generally good and with a few tweaks found on a quick google search the settings are perfect. - No noticeable eye fatigue for 5-6 hours of continuous gaming. The…

I upgraded to this monitor from a 10 year old Samsung 60Hz monitor. Initially, image quality was just average (I had to use an HDMI cable because the included DisplayPort cable is insanely short). Second, I was able to switch to the correct Displayport cable and the picture quality improved immediately. For the price this is the best 25 inch on the market in my opinion. Don't waste your time with Acer draining your bank account, it will be very good. However, be aware that you buy a longer…

I bought it for competitive console play and the picture is definitely better than my TV but not great on consoles. This may be entirely due to the release of the console, but neither my PS4 nor XBONE supports HDR, so it does. I hope it gets better in the next gen. Other than that, the graphics were great for games like God of War, Hellblade, Warzone, and Last of us. However, I do enjoy using it as a second monitor with my Apple laptop and Chromebook.

Bought it back then a few years ago don't remember now but it was the best monitor you could get, it was one of the cheapest monitors at 144hz 1ms and it looks good on other monitors, there weren't any Adjustable, this one allows you to move the screen up and down and tilt it as you like and I still recommend it to everyone

I took it as a second monitor, mainly for gaming. It's really beautiful and 144Hz is amazing. The colors work out of the box and it took me a few days to play around with the settings to get them looking the way I wanted, but now the games look GREAT. I play Overwatch, BF1, Diablo 3, and Mass Effect Andromeda to name a few. I can't get past 144 fps yet, but I get 60-100 fps in most games on ultra settings, maybe in the future I'll upgrade my graphics card to really get the advantage. FreeSync…

I've been using this monitor for a couple of weeks. My rating has dropped from 5 to 3 stars. Why? #1 lighting. It looks like an inferior fluorescent lamp. There is a bright halo around the edges and a bright spot in the middle. It looks like someone smeared something on the screen and cleaned it poorly. The darker the scene/game, the worse it looks. In fact, I tried wiping the screen twice before realizing it wasn't a dirty screen. The screen has an LED backlight. I honestly don't see it. Of…

I bought it for my newly built PC. I was sure I needed a 24-inch 1080p 144Hz monitor, but I thought long and hard about buying a G-Sync monitor that doubles the price. Now that I've been using it for a few months, I'm really glad I saved money. When playing games like PUBG, Black Ops 4, and Fortnite, I saw frame rates right in the range that G-Sync is designed for (100-140Hz) and didn't experience noticeable stuttering. The 144Hz refresh definitely makes a difference. Gaming fluid and I'm very…

Just to give a small update, I've had the monitor for a few weeks now, the only thing that surprises me is that every time I plug the cable into the USB ports, the cable dies, no idea why it happens, other than that the monitor works great, soon i will get a graphics card with free sync, looking forward to it, i think the monitor was too bright, i lowered it to 25, contrast ratio to 55 which seems to work. an update from an 11 year old monitor, this is great. with refresh rate and fast response

This is a fairly reliable monitor. It's so easy to put together that a monkey could do it, a really stupid monkey. It was awesome because when I picked it up at 2am my intelligence was probably that of a dumb monkey. It comes mostly assembled right out of the box, all you have to do is screw on the bottom and it's ready to use. The display needs a little tweaking but not too much, I just followed the other guy's settings in another comment. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the…

I bought this monitor to use with a 2017 iMac Radeon Pro 570 and it did not disappoint. Using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable, I'm using 144Hz with FreeSync in Bootcamp! I play Destiny 2 with very high frames on low settings. I hit 144Hz in solo content and it looks fantastic. Higher settings will give you 60Hz, but this monitor should output really fast frames. Now that I've experienced 144Hz, I'll only use the consoles for exclusive games. Before purchasing, please note that this is a TN panel…
