  • Great colors! QC was not good.
Style: 27-Inch G-Sync 1440p 165Hz
Was expecting a lot when I got this in and was immediately disappointed. I have flashligting coming from not one but 4 places along the edges of the panel. 3 spots on the bottom of the screen and 1 at the top. It's very distracting. Only way for me to get the picture to improve is lowering my backlight all the way down to 20 which is hard to see during the day and really mutes the colors versus say 35 setting. I'm going to get a replacement and see if that one is better, I understand their will be some defects that are inherent to IPS panels but the level of flashligting was not acceptable. I'll update my review when I get the new one. 02/18/20 Update: I finally got a "good" one from a different production batch. This one has no flashlighting spots but it does have some back light bleed I'm the lower left corner but it's at a level I can live with. It is crazy that I had to go through so many to find one I could keep but I'm finally happy. It's been working great and I'm looking forward to what they do with the lighting software they currently have in beta. Recommend the monitor if you can snag a good one. Colors are vibrant and motion is very good! Viewing angles are what you'd expect from an IPS so good but you will notice a lower than average contrast. ... show more

  • Finally, I can ditch the TN panels for competitive gaming! Sony GDM FW-900 CRT in LCD form factor?
Style: 27-Inch 1080p 240Hz
Many years ago I owned a Dell Ultrasharp 23" 60hz panel. It had beautiful, vibrant colors thanks to the IPS panel. I was able to play competitive Counter-Strike on it (reported an input lag of 0.6ms! 0.6!!) while also doing graphic design work due to the terrific color accuracy. But monitor technology was changing and soon enough 120hz and 144hz panels came out. I still wanted to play at a high competitive level in Counter-Strike:Global Offensive, but unfortunately at the time the lowest input lag 144hz monitors were all TN panels. So I had to give up any hobbyist graphic design work. But the BenQ monitors I owned were excellent for CS:GO and using Blur Busters' BENQ Utility tool, you could control how much strobing and crosstalk was displayed on your monitor. The only trade-off is the more strobing at a higher refresh rate, the less luminance the panel emits. Earlier this year I purchased an LG 27GK750F-B 27" 240hz panel. While this wasn't a huge leap from 60hz to 144hz, it was still enough to be noticeable. While the panel itself had decent color reproduction and no dead pixels, the firmware was broken. You had to download a Custom Resolution Utility application in order to "overclock" the monitor to force it into the correct refresh rate. While this monitor for the most part ran well at 240hz with Motion Blur Reduction turned on, there would be black artifacts from the monitor that would come up from time to time, or microstuttering, and so forth. It seemed that the frametimes could not match up with the display output which would cause the stuttering to occur sporadically. Needlessly to say it was an extremely frustrating experience. There were some "workarounds" to try to keep it stable for awhile before it would act up again. LG never bothered to issue a firmware update after repeated requests on their company's message board. So I decided to never purchase an LG brand monitor again after the lack of firmware support and pretty much delivering a monitor that didn't function as advertised. But then I heard about these 240hz IPS monitors on the horizon. I usually frequent the Blur Busters website for the best gaming monitor recommendations. And the owner of the site posted he had calibrated the motion blur reduction of this new ViewSonic panel, and that the strobing at 120hz reminded him of the motion clarity and color of the holy grail of CRT monitors: the Sony GDM FW900. I owned the Sony GDM FW900 about 5 years ago and it truly deserved the reputation as being the best CRT monitor ever made. (Only the Artisan eclipses it by a hair with photography use). So to hear about an IPS panel that can look as good with the motion clarity of the FW900 had me very excited. And yep I can say, while not exactly as bright as the FW900 in blur reduction mode (there will be more brightness in the next firmware version I am told), nor having those inky blacks (there is that IPS glow) it is the closest thing I'll get to that CRT in an LCD. Just superb. I no longer miss having the FW900 which is an incredible achievement. For purists, yes this is still an LCD panel and there is just something about the way CRTs present an image that even the highest end LCDs can't match. It is a total shame CRTs were killed off. However I think with the XG270, with the blur reduction enabled, and 99% sRGB/IPS colors, it considerably closes the gap. The FW900 is dead, long live the FW900! The motion blur reduction in 240hz (it's 241hz in Windows), while there is crosstalk at the bottom, manages to run without a hiccup playing CS:GO, Rocket League, Overwatch, etc. (all games can be set at 240FPS or higher). I am not detecting any input lag when I'm playing CS:GO, in fact it might even be faster than the LG panel I bought earlier. There's no microstuttering or tearing to be had. (I have a RTX2080Ti card and my CPU is i9-9900k.) The G-Sync option is amazing and here you obviously get much more brightness than you do the motion blur reduction. I actually find G-Sync with Ultra low latency and VSYNC enabled to be pretty good with CS:GO. If you really want to shave off those miliseconds, obviously keep the G-Sync off but I might actually stick with it. For other games that aren't CS:GO, I will probably use G-SYNC and maybe dial down the refresh rate to 120hz since it's difficult for most modern games to hit 240FPS consistently. The sRGB color temperature setting in the OSD provides the best preset colors IMO. Of course you can adjust it as you wish. Also the monitor and stand feel very well built, doesn't seem cheap. TL;DR - Time to throw away your TN panels and upgrade to an IPS panel if you want both motion clarity and color accuracy. I could not be happier. This appeals to me as a serious competitive CS:GO player who occasionally does ESEA to regular casual games. I love having the flexibility of having settings for competitive use and for eyecandy, where I couldn't get that with my BenQ panels. Highly recommended! Great job ViewSonic! ... show more

  • XG270. Not the Motion Blur Reduction king that was promised. (updated)
Style: 27-Inch 1080p 240Hz
The media could not be loaded. If you have no intention of using this monitors Motion Blur Reduction (PureXP) then this review should be of no concern to you. If you do intend on using PureXP, be wary of the quality control on the PureXP portion of this monitor. I had to do two exchanges before being getting an acceptable monitor. The XG270 is supposed to be "Blur Busters Approved" but the level of MBR crosstalk on this monitor is completely unacceptable and unworthy of the Blur Busters certification. [UPDATE: This behaves better in replacement unit; see addendum below] Keep in mind that the center of a screen is where an image will look best with motion blur reduction and120hz is supposedly the sweet spot for the XG270 monitor for the cleanest strobed image. I took a photo of my XG270 with PureXP enabled to show motion blur reduction crosstalk from the CENTER of the screen with the monitor refresh rate set to 120hz and the alien move speed set to 960 pixels/sec. This is what it looks like to the naked eye when there is an object in motion on the screen. The object creates a very unpleasant double image that destroys the clarity of your viewing experience. Now, imagine trying to game with this effect happening to everything on your screen. The crosstalk gets much worse as you deviate to the top and bottom of the image. I've tried fiddling with the every possible display image setting to try and correct this bad crosstalk. I've also tried changing the refresh rate to 100hz and 144hz to see if there would be a difference, it didn't help. I downloaded the monitor driver and display controller from the Viewsonic XG270 software page. Nothing included in any of that helped. I am completely disappointed by the MBR performance on this monitor. It is nothing like it was promoted to be. I included a bonus backlight bleed photo for anyone curious about that. I'm going to attempt to exchange this unit for another one on the off chance that I was sent a lemon. I will update this accordingly depending on how that goes. UPDATE: I received my replacement, plugged it in, and tested it in portrait mode. The blur reduction was MUCH cleaner than the last unit. I was very happy with it. I properly set up the monitor and changed it to landscape mode. When I looked at the moving aliens again, they returned to looking like garbage like in the first monitor... this time disabling and re-enabling PureXP fixed this issue. This was a bit strange because disabling and re-enabling PureXP didn't fix anything with the first monitor I tested. Beware of this issue. I'm taking a guess here that if you enable PureXP and then change your display settings in any way, PureXP doesn't recalculate it's blur reduction settings with your new display settings. You must manually disable and re-enable PureXP every time you change your display settings or else your image will look horrible. This is a hardware oversight and I hope they fix this with a firmware update. As of the date of this review, there are no firmware updates available for this monitor. Edit: Apparently this issue is present when restarting my computer as well. The PureXP will display bad crosstalk if you've restarted your computer with PureXP on. This will also happen when launching CSGO in fullscreen or any source game. Turning the monitor on and off will also break PureXP in the same way. This forces the user to disable and re-enable PureXP VERY often just to get it working as intended. PureXP is great when it works but it 's not very reliable on this monitor. ViewSonic needs to fix this issue. I included a full monitor photo of the blur reduction effect at work this time (same settings as previously mentioned). I wouldn't say this monitor rivals a CRT display in motion clarity but it's still very nice. The middle of the display is very clear with little visible crosstalk. The top and bottom of the monitor has acceptable crosstalk for those areas of the screen. Here's a second backlight bleed photo for your viewing pleasure too. Overall, I am somewhat satisfied with this monitor but I am annoyed with the unreliable PureXP. It's IPS colors are great. The TN-like response times are swift. It has very good motion blur reduction (when it does work). I hope that ViewSonic puts out a firmware update soon to fix this issue. ... show more
