So we finally have competition for the Asus and Acer 1440p, IPS, 144hz, G-Sync monitors.

Just that the price is way, way higher than the comparable Asus/Acer.

ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solution products, announces a new series of professional-level gaming monitors at CES 2016 in Las Vegas. ViewSonic's XG Series of high-performance gaming monitors feature critical color depth with a range of Full HD to 4K UHD resolution, NVIDIA's G-Sync or AMD's FreeSync variable refresh rate technology, ultra-fast response times, super low input lag, and more, to drive dedicated enthusiasts, diehards, and professional gamers to more victories.

From first-person shooters and real-time strategy to multi-player or action-adventure gaming, ViewSonic's XG Series of gaming monitors is packed with all the professional-level features needed for that competitive edge that leads to more victories. The XG Series is specially engineered to meet the demanding needs of gamers and is loaded with the premium features needed to dominate and defeat any and all opponents.

"With up to 4K UHD resolution and 1ms response time, ViewSonic's XG Series delivers some of the fastest response times and best color depth seen in monitors designed for gaming," said Al Giazzon, vice president of marketing at ViewSonic Americas. "We're known as an industry leader for providing some of the highest quality and feature-rich professional monitors, it is simply a natural extension that ViewSonic would provide the best professional-level monitors for gamers."

The XG2401 is a 24-inch Full HD monitor packed with features like a 144Hz refresh rate, and AMD's FreeSync variable refresh rate technology that eliminate screen tearing and stuttering for fluid gameplay during fast-paced action scenes. A blazing-fast 1ms response time and low input lag provides smooth screen performance - even in the most graphic-intense sequences. For optimum speed and performance, SmartSync technology automatically selects the best refresh rate, response time, and lowest input lag needed in FPS games. A black stabilization function helps players spot enemies lurking in the dark, while maintaining brilliant rich colors and contrast.

why would you be looking at this model when there are cheaper alternatives in Asus and Acer for the same specifications?

depends on build quality/consistency? If tested and proven to be consistent I guess people will have no qualms spending more

I'm looking at XG2401 that is 24inch 144hz with freesync which suits my needs. I don't mind that it is a TN panel. Don't need to overkill. Price seems cheapest with those features. Care to advise ?

On a side note, whats wrong with viewsonic? You seem to dislike it.

Sorry. Thought you were looking at the highest end model which is overpriced as compared to competitor brands. For VG2401, probably available on Singapore already. Read somewhere in the PC SHOW subforum that a fellow forumer bought it.

SGD 483.89. Left is VX2401, right is my old IPS viewsonic monitor. Sorry pictures from iphone does not do it justice. Not sure if you can notice from the pictures but theres a very small slight difference on the VX2401. Pictures from IPS is definitely better, no TN panel can beat that. Tried my best colour calibrating the VX2401 but the whiteness is still abit off. Overall for a TN panel, the colour is great. Definitely better than previous generation TN panels.

Gaming wise I play alot of csgo. I was already a Supreme Master First Class using my old IPS with 60hz and 7ms response time. The VX2401 has a 144hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. Immediately notice the difference when playing with 144hz, so smoooothhh. Don't think I can ever go back to 60hz for games like csgo. Haven't try Freesync yet because I'm using a GTX 970. Might change to a AMD card when the next gen comes out. Bottomline is do I think the change to 144hz will make me play better and uprank to Global Elite ? maybe no maybe yes ? its debatable but it definitely made my gaming experience so much better.

First impression, loving the red and black look on the monitor. The side bezel abit too thick in my opinion. Display port is provided. UI buttons are shiit, it is located below the monitor and the number 2 button is on the left while the number 1 button is on the right. ****ing confusing I tell you. Don't know how many times I press the wrong buttons. The pivot stand is amazing! Sturdy and damn solid. Monitor does not wobble when I shake the table. Height and horizontal vertical adjustments are easy, can tilt easily too. The headphone stand at the back is ****ing crap tho. I swear if i accidentally bump it by accident can easily break. Like they stick a ****ing toothpick at the back to hang headphones. Speakers suck, sounds like those $5 speakers you buy at pasar malam.

Really satisfied with my purchase with that kind of price for its features.
