Great for gaming, but at a cost...
How much are you willing to sacrifice for the best possible gaming experience? Resolution? Viewing angles? Stick both on the list, along with color accuracy— they’re all going to take a hit if you go for the new ViewSonic Elite XG240R.
That’s not necessarily a problem. The XG240R is nothing if not unapologetic. It’s all about gaming. And not just any old gaming, but specifically esports. Consequently, its 24-inch LCD not only uses TN as opposed to IPS or VA panel tech, but it sports a mere 1920x1080 native res. But factor the sub-$300 price into the gaming remit, and those are positive choices rather than compromises.
