A worthy upgrade
I had hoped to be the first to review the new XG2402 on here, and perhaps I've just managed it!This (was) the '2017 model', came out in winter 2017, 144Hz freesync monitor (XG2402), an upgraded version of the XG2401.I upgraded from an asus VE248H which is a 60Hz TN panel. Umm, lots of thoughts so far - in general, I find I'm still tweaking to get it how I like it visually (there are loads of settings), but I was pleased to see no pixel problems, so I'm gonna end up keeping it if it doesn't explode over xmas :DWhen I pay hundreds of pounds for something, I expect to have something either in perfect working order or quick-fixable. My RX480 is almost certainly never going to get 144Hz in games with the highest settings, but some compromises here and there (tessellation lowering for one), or simply aiming for anything in the freesync range (e.g. 60fps) is more than doable and it's buttery smooth, tear-free gaming til the cows come home now!I'm finding it harder to 'tweak and be done with it' than the asus, because the site I used last time to calibrate the colours was very obvious when I was at the ideal spot. For the viewsonic, I can see the different colour contrasts perfectly even with lots of adjusting! There is a bit of bleeding around the lower right and a minor difference in warmth when looking at a pure white image between the top and bottom of the screen, so it's by no means an IPS monitor. ATM this doesn't bother me especially, because I'd rather have lower latency and not spend double the price on a monitor right now lolCompared to the XG2401, this is supposed to have more gamma options? It does have a lot to choose from. It's hard to describe, it's made games look more 'gamey', but high definition pictures look so much better.Pushing the option buttons can be a faff, the interface could be a bit better. It has an option not to display the 'power on' light on the monitor, which is nice. The biggest plus by far is the 144Hz and AMD Freesync - it's so nice not to not have tearing anymore and I love how silky the mouse moves around lolI had my asus attached flush to a wall...now it does say repeatedly that the viewsonic is vesa compatible (100x100mm), exactly the same size, but the stand it comes with doesn't look like I can just use the same stuff. (It's a fantastic stand by the way, very meaty) so at the moment I'm looking for a viewsonic proprietary wall mount thing (it slots into the back in a circle you see). Debating whether or not to sacrifice the deskspace permanently lolI'm happy with it so far, the pros definitely outweigh the cons (and thank god I didn't have to send it back for bad pixels), but I find myself wondering what the samsung is like now. I find curved monitors a bit gimmicky though :PWhen these were first available a couple of weeks ago (literally hot off the shelf with a manufacturing date labelled as '1st Nov 2017'), amazon had them at £275 and later £250 which they're at now at time of writing. I'm a little disappointed to pay £25 for the same thing, but I'm just so glad not to have any pixel problems and have to worry about sending it back (fingers crossed).I also looked at the Alienware 240Hz for its deliciously thin bezels but heard it was lacking in the settings department which viewsonic certainly isn't.

Great Monitor
After years of faithful service my old 50Hz LG monitor gave up the ghost and it was time to start hunting for a new one. After hours of research I decided on this. It has some great reviews from various sights and was the right size considering my rather limited space. It was a breeze to set up (except for the cable management loop around the back which required considerable force to snap into place, I was convinced that I was going to break it). You can adjust the screen in both directions and in height which is handy. After switching it on it became obvious that the settings needed recalibrating but a quick search on Google set me up pretty quick. A lack of remote control combined with awkward bezels under the screen made his a little more irritating than necessary but wasn't a major issue in fact it most likely down to me being lazy more than anything. The red light at the back is relatively unobtrusive and after a while I didn't really notice it. Overall for the price this is well worth it, specs similar to a lot of the higher end models for a bit less, easy to use, sturdy stand that's easy to assemble and mount the monitor on and after adjusting the screen settings it became a great value piece of kit. Thoroughly recommend!!

Best value for gaming
The gaming and movie experience is great and gaming on 144hz is awesome. The only downside being white background on black is a bit hard to see in terms of contrast.

Amazing build quality
Had this monitor for 2 months now and can safely say it's a good bang for your buck. Setup out of the box is a matter of sliding some parts together taking no longer than 2 mins with no tools required whatsoever. The picture quality out of the box is a bit washed but I'm you tamper with the settings you can get a decent image quality (I recommend looking up some configs). It comes with a display port so you can utilise the 144hz and the freesync is also a nice touch for the price. The best thing about this monitor though is the stand and the overall build quality. This monitor is so solid. The stand is made from a metal base and the main support is super thick and sturdy. You can adjust the angle and position of the monitor very easily. There is an almost 180 degree pivot on the bottom you can adjust the tilt and overall it is just so easy to use. 10/10 would recommend

Great 1080 gaming budget monitor.
I've owned this for 3 years plus and it is still beautiful... Range of motion is fantastic, I'm not a computer system critic so I don't have much to compare it to but I instantly felt and still feel it is stable and provides great 1080 performance.

Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect colors and responsiveness.
As a video game enthusiast and 1080p enjoyer, this monitor is everything I wanted.Pros:- The wide gamut of colors delivered by this IPS panel is a treat for the eyes, no matter the application.- Able to display 240 frames per second. This makes even just Windows navigation feel wonderfully smooth. But in first-person games, the difference is jaw-dropping. So much so that you'll never want to go back to anything below 120fps again.(Don't forget to select 240hz in your Windows display settings. To do this, right-click the desktop and go to Display settings, then scroll to "Advanced display". The refresh rate setting is in there.)- AMD FreeSync is a fantastic technology that ensures you'll never have any screen tearing in games, no matter the framerate, without adding any input lag.(Note that this setting is turned off by default. To turn it on, press the button just to the left of the power button, then navigate to "Setup Menu" and you will see "AMD FreeSync Premium". Turn that on.)- No lag, flawless response time (no blur or ghosting during motion; the image remains clear at all times).(Note: in "Manual Image Adjust", it's recommended that you change the Response Time setting from Standard to Advanced.)Cons:- The HDR function probably shouldn't have been included, as it might mislead people into thinking this monitor has worthwhile HDR. It doesn't. However, this doesn't matter at all, because if you really wanted an HDR display, you would be in the market for something like an OLED 4K TV to really appreciate the HDR... not a 1080p PC monitor.In conclusion:Know what your needs are. The strengths of this monitor are color accuracy, refresh rate and response time. The fact that it's affordable is also very nice. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best 1080p monitor on the market, and I've done extensive research.

Not bad, but don't use the 60hz strobe mode.
Okay so I got this because of the strobe mode. I am a gamer at heart, but I got into actually testing monitors on my free time especially when companies like RTINGs has a stupid vote system instead of just buying all and working hard.... I mean their job is reviews but they still limit themselves which doesn't make sense. Then you have youtubers which will lie about a product because they got it for free, calling a bad monitor "good" for the sake of not making the monitor maker "overlord" mad at them for a bad review. "no more free products if you say this monitor is crap" type of deal. Which generally gives RTINGs the upper hand as they buy all their displays for testing. No way for manufacturers to influence the review process with a heavy hand.So, where to start. Its an "fast IPS" 1080p 240hz display. The fit and finish is nice. I had zero dead pixels. The color is quite bad, but I have a tuning device which allows me to get more accurate color! So I color calibrated using my x-rite iDisplay pro (you can buy them here on amazon like me!) and got that sorted out....You can find a post on BlurBusters forums where I did 240hz pixel response testing. Its pretty good. Not as fast as say an $800 LG nano-ips monitor, but fast enough compared to other monitors even some 200-300 bucks more expensive. FOR THE PRICE, this monitor is an absolute champ.I also took the blurbusters advice on the flicker backlight. This monitor, you can download a custom program from the viewsonic website which is in collaboration with blurbusters, where you can tweak the purexp settings, you can not only run through the preset modes, but you can also run a custom mode where you are given varying degrees of adjustment that most other monitors do not give you. WITH THAT IN MIND, I tried out the factory 240hz mode with the purexp enabled. Didn't seem all that special. To me, it felt like my old Alienware TN panel at 240hz without flicker backlight. I would say you probably don't even need purexp at 240hz. If you are someone who cannot use flicker backlight due to sensitivity, then don't. This monitor even without flickering at 240hz is pretty good. BUT, I also tried the 120hz mode using "large vertical pixel totals" using a custom resolution. This is to test to see if the custom mode works well enough or not. AND I HAVE TO BE HONEST, the 120hz with a custom flicker setting, works BETTER than 240hz with and without purexp enabled. I can say the motion CLARITY is amazing using this custom mode. However, you have to know how to setup a custom resolution to get this mode to work. Anyway, the motion clarity is INSANE. Its just that good. I can't believe how good it is! Playing FPS titles like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo, its way better than 240hz. I mean way better.Now on that note, and yes I am splitting this part, this is a warning. The 60hz mode for flicker. Don't use it. I don't care how much blurbusters boasts how amazing it is for console gaming. The 60hz flicker WILL hurt your eyes. Even doing the "large vertical pixel totals" to further tweak 60hz strobing, doesn't help. I enabled this mode and sure enough, my eyes started hurting INSTANTLY. I LITERALLY could not look at the monitor. I would wince and recoil at how bad the flickering is. Now don't get me wrong, I can handle flicker. I used to party with people with tons of strobe lights in the room listening to house/dubstep/trance/dnb/etc. This is WORSE. Your eyes just don't want to look at the screen. I even started having my eye water it was so bad. The 120hz mode, no issue, but 60hz mode, killing me. So don't use it. This is a warning.On the whole, for about 300-330 this monitor is amazing. I could honestly say I would pay MORE for this monitor if they included the "large vertical total" mode as part of the EDID information so users wouldn't have to go through the trouble of running a custom resolution to do it. The motion clarity you get is just THAT AMAZING. I could see in the future when Display Port 2.0 finally releases both in monitors and graphics cards, that we could get large vertical totals for 240hz which would make that even more amazing (need the higher bandwidth to do it. currently you are locked at about 120hz to 144hz with large vertical totals due to bandwidth limitations of HDMI2.0 and DP1.4). I would highly recommend this monitor to anyone in this price bracket. If you can afford more, obviously there are better displays out there. But for the price, amazing.

OKUMADAN ALMAYIN
çok fazla monitör denemiş birisi olarak. bu monitör gerçekten aldığı ödülleri hak ediyor görüntü kalitesi bu fiyat bandında inanılmaz. FAKAT 23.8 inch devri artık geçti. Aklında şüpheleri olan arkadaşlar 24.5 inch ve üstü monitörleri öneririm.
