I’m a big fan of ViewSonic, having used plenty of their monitors over the decades, from their amazing CRT monitors of my youth to their latest high-end gaming monitors. However, today it seems they’re proving their prestige once again, with the release of their first OLED gaming monitor the XG272-2K-OLED Monitor.
Featuring an industry-leading 0.01ms pixel response time, this monitor is sure to grab the attention of gamers around the world, and with a 27″ OLED panel that promises amazing colours and contrast, as well as a blisteringly fast 240Hz refresh rate at 2560×1440, it’s certainly grabbing my attention too. The XG272-2K-OLED has been engineered for gamers, there’s no doubt about that.
