ViewSonic XG XG2736-2K 27" Black
A 240Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms MPRT response time on a 27-inch QHD IPS panel deliver fluid motion and sharp detail, backed by FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility. Integrated RGB lighting and a 65W USB-C port with full ergonomic adjustability add convenience and style. This monitor suits competitive gamers seeking ultra-smooth, tear-free performance in fast-paced shooters and esports titles, though its 4300g weight and minimal portable score rule out travel use.
