Gaming monitors that promise high refresh rates are not new to the market, but finding one that actually delivers good visuals as well can be quite a task. Especially if you’re not looking to spend a fortune over the same. One monitor I recently reviewed, however, manages to do both and pack some neat extra features as well. Here’s my full review of the ViewSonic XG2431 gaming monitor. Let’s start with the specifications on offer here.
ViewSonic XG2431 specs: 24-inch, 16:9 FHD, IPS panel | 240Hz refresh rate | AMD FreeSync | 0.5Hz response time | 2x HDMI + DP input, 2 x USB 3.0 Type A, 3.5mm audio port |
ViewSonic XG2431: What’s good?
Design and build
The 24-inch monitor comes with a solid build quality, something evident from the moment you pull it out of the packaging. There are pretty much no bendy areas and no creaky edges. You get a near-frameless design which looks great on every setup, while all the controls are found on the right-bottom of the chin. These are easy to press and find without looking after the first few times. If you’ve used ViewSonic monitors before, you will find a familiar user interface by pressing any of these buttons, after which you can then cycle through all the settings and preset modes.
