ViewSonic Announces its New Elite XG270QG Gaming Monitor

ViewSonic is one of the most reputable names when it comes to gaming-specific monitors. With the launch of their latest ‘Elite’ range, however, they certainly have a lot of new products to tempt you in 2020.

In this instance, we take a focussed look at the XG270QG. A 27″ gaming monitor offering 1ms response, 1440p resolution and a pretty hefty 165Hz refresh rate! Pretty much everything the ‘enthusiastic’ PC owner would want!

ViewSonic Elite XG270QG

While specifically marketed towards the gaming market, the Elite series offers a lot of practical features that would make it a tempting choice for a lot of consumers.

Some of the more notable aspects of this are the ability to really move that monitor where you want it. This isn’t, incidentally, just limited to height. You can also tilt, swivel and even pivot it to a ‘portrait’ position.

What Do We Think?

While it might’ve been tempting to lead with the 55-inch ELITE XG550, with it not set to launch until late 2020, we think that the ViewSonic XG270QG is the upcoming design of most interest.

With the features included, it is without a doubt a very impressive design on paper. In addition, it’s also probably one of the most appealing to the vast majority of gamers out there. I know that out of the four, it’s the one that I’d probably be most tempted to get!

With it set to launch in March 2020, we expect this to be a very popular choice with consumers throughout the year!
