Great monitor - very poor instructions.

I've been using this monitor for about a month and I'm very happy with it. The picture is crisp, clear and fast - ideal for gaming, watching videos and other tasks on the computer. I find white to be a lot "whiter" than other monitors I currently use. The advertised faster speeds are only really good with DisplayPort - I had to connect mine via HDMI - it's still very fast. My only criticism of this monitor is the terrible lack of instructions. They are very general and don't give you details…

Signal issues in my review

The only guide that accompanies this monitor is what is called the Quick Start Guide, which consists of a very small diagram of how to connect to a computer tower and information on how to download monitor drivers from the ViewSonic website. I only have a laptop so I don't need a chart here. I have a fast processor, lots of RAM and 1 TBHD. I am using Windows 8.1. I downloaded and installed the drivers. I followed the instructions in the guide I had to download which also didn't take into…

Great gaming monitor

The price is high, but considering the high refresh rate and the combination of gsync, the price is fair. The lack of dropped frames means everything is clear. The colors look good too (after playing around with the image adjustment). The bad news is that since it's a TN panel, even tilting your head slightly will make a noticeable difference in lighting and tint. I've also found that the settings for gaming don't work for web browsing or other work (too bright). Luckily, you can use it to…

Worst customer support experience imaginable.

DisplayPort is not working on my monitor. This monitor has a DisplayPort, so if it fails, 240 Hz cannot be reached. Contacted ViewSonic regarding warranty. The exchange was at my expense (about $50). The replacement I received was in terrible condition. The support tried to say that it is normal if the metal on the back is cracked and the case is damaged. I convinced her to make a second change. The second transfer wasn't much better, but I was tired of dealing with these people. DisplayPort…

good monitor best in my rating

This is a good monitor. The footrest adjusts up and down and side to side for your comfort. Although I'm not a gamer, it works well with medium stuff and the color resolution is excellent. The only complaint is that it turns on forever.

240 Hz is very good for me

I bought this 240hz gsync monitor to mainly play FPS games. Playing at that many frames per second offers a huge benefit. When the characters move, everything is smooth and they don't teleport when you're in melee combat. If you love competitive gaming or want to take advantage of PC gaming, buy this monitor. Colors look great for a TN panel and this is one of the cheapest 240Hz gsync monitors out there.

ViewSonic gaming monitor

Really good monitor. Easy to connect, no glare, no reflection, high definition, large, more than large enough. Two experienced gamers think it's a great monitor, but their only negative comment is that it gets dirty easily.

error after a few days

The display port of the monitor failed after a few days of use. The monitor also turns itself off. I should also mention that the picture quality is terrible and there is a lot of backlighting on this display. All of this is what you should expect from crappy brands like ViewSonic. First and last product I will ever buy from them. Don't make the same mistake I did.
