Gaming Monitor 240Hz, Black, Xg2431

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.

J'ai achété cet écran et au bout de 6 mois, il est tombé en panne avec les rayeurs blancs qui traverse l'écran, donc inutilisable. J'ai contacté le vendeur pour resoudre le problème (en trouvant, justement les autres avis clients qui disent la même chose que moi), et il me dit de renvoyer l'écran au pays-bas. Quand je dit que c'est inadmissible que cet envoi est à ma charge, il m'a fourni une étiquette de retour en .jpg (même pas .pdf) pour renvoyer l'écran. La poste n'a presque pas pu le scanner (comme, qualité .jpg). Zero communication de la part du vendeur, j'ai du renvoyer les mails encore et encore pour être mise à jour du progrès avec cet écran. J'en ai déjà remplacé, comme j'utilisais comme écran principal pour le travail, et le vendeur me dit qu'il faut voir avec le fabricateur pour voir s'il peut me rembourser. Après 6 semaines, aujourd'hui, j'ai toujours pas l'écran, ni le quasiment 300 € que j'ai payé pour, Amazon ne peut pas m'aider, et ce vendeur vend ***toujours*** cet écran pour arnaquer les gens d'ici 6 à 12 mois – même avec plus de 50 avis clients qui remonte ce même problème. À fuir – et c'est la dernière fois que j'achète un écran sur le marketplace (ou quoi qu'il soit de ce vendeur en particulier).

This is the best thing i bought in a while

Initial impressions are pretty positive so far!! Very sturdy material and stand, can rotate 90 degrees which is pretty handy. Picture quality is also great. Reminder that this is a FreeSync Premium monitor so you have to enable that in the settings to make use of it. G Sync compatibility label is not there but I tried it with my RTX 3060 and G Sync seems to work fine. Tried playing FPS like Doom Eternal and Neon White with it enabled and it gave me a smooth stutter free experience at high 100-200fps. Make sure to connect your PC with the display port to make maximum use of the monitor, instead of HDMI. Note :- this monitor uses a 16A plug, so make sure to get an adapter to plug it into the normal pin(it works without issue)

Finger weg von diesem Monitor, wie andere Rezessionen und reddit Beiträge beweisen. Nach nur 6 Monaten gab der Bildschrim aus dem nichts das Bild was ich angehängt habe aus. Getestet wurde das auf 3 verschiedenen Plattformen, ein R13 mit einer RTX3080, einen eigenmarke bau mit einer RTX 5090 und einem intel nuc mit intergrated graphics. Update: Ein Tag nachdem ich den Bildschirm an GLS übergeben habe, hat mir Viewsonic ein Neugerät übersendet. Respekt ! View Sonic Support möchte trotz schilderung und Fotos, den Bildschrim abholen und reparieren. Möchten ausschliesen das es nicht am Setup liegt. Das bedeutet für mich das mein Setup erst mal für längere Zeit unbrauchbar ist. Das ist in meinen Augen für ein premium Bildschrim nicht angemessen. Blur Buster hin oder her, View Sonic ist schon lange nicht mehr das was es mal war. Denke auch das bei Blur Buster viel mit sponsoring läuft. Es gibt genügend alternativen die durchaus bessere Ergebnisse liefern im Jahr 2025 Backlight bleeding des todes of doom, als auch eine unterirdische GSync kompatibilität mit flackern. HDR korekkt einzustellen ist katastrophal. Keine Firmware Software updates weit und breit. Dieser Bildschirm wird früher oder später die selben Fehler aufweisen beim kauf.
