For the gamer who does not leave out any frame, ViewSonic has come with something really mind-blowing: XG2737. This is not just any ordinary monitor. It's a life-curve shaped monitor of 27 inches, speed oriented towards velocity alone. Let's see how this monitor works.
ViewSonic XG2737 Gaming Monitor
520Hz: Welcome to Hyperspeed
This is a 520Hz monitor. It is specifically designed to produce fluid visuals with near lack of motion blurring. This gives you an upper hand in fast-action games. The XG2737 is dedicated to competitive gamers chasing each last precious millisecond advantage. It clearly speaks their language.
There are compromises. ViewSonic opted to go Full HD (1920x1080) resolution on this 27-inch panel to achieve that insane refresh rate. This means pixels are not going to be as sharp compared to those over QHD options. ViewSonic is all about frame rates, targeting the gamers really only interested in speed.
Under the Hood: IPS and Responsiveness
Even though speed was the main focus, ViewSonic did not sacrifice their picture quality. The XG2737 is built on the IPS space with better color and angle adjustment. It provides 1 millisecond gray-to-gray response time, decreasing blurriness and ghost images. The colors cover nearly 99% of the sRGB spectrum, hitting 1000:1 typical contrast ratios with a brightness of 400 nits. These are all very respectable gaming ratings.
Essential Components, No Frills
Practicality is what the XG2737 is about when it comes to additional added features. The XG2737 features:
- USB Hub: Two USB Type-A ports for all peripherals.
- Built-in Speakers: Two 2-watt speakers for basic audio, coupled with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
- Adjustability: Height, tilt, and swivel adjustable to customize your ideal viewing position.
- VESA Mount: 100x100mm VESA-Compatible for sale of replacement monitor arms.
- Port-in: Two sides of HDMI 2.1 and a display port input.
- AMD FreeSync Premium: For tear-free gaming with compatible AMD GPUs.
A VGA standard display and a KVM switch are noticeably absent. ViewSonic is definitely laser-focused on core performance in gaming with the XG2737.
Final Conclusion: Speedy and Racing Ready
ViewSonic XG2737 is not for general purpose. It is a highly specialized device made for those who want nothing but the very best in refresh rates. Whether you are racing in some esports titles or just desiring the smoothest motion your video card can rack out, this monitor's 520Hz panel makes it worth consideration. It is Full HD format, which is not for everyone, but for the adrenaline-fueled action of competitive play at very extreme frame rates, this monitor is one to consider. Availability and pricing details are still forthcoming.
