Product Gallery
Product Overview
ViewSonic XG270 is a mainstream 27-inch FHD gaming monitor in ViewSonic's 2019 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit IPS panel with 240 Hz refresh rate.
The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. With a fast 1 ms response time, this display is a good gaming option. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty. It also comes with build-in speakers that make media consumption in a pinch an effortless experience.
In terms of drawbacks, this monitor lacks HDR support. Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.

Reviewer score 87%The ViewSonic Elite XG270 has a 27-inch display with a 240Hz refresh rate. At 1080p, the screen is sharp enough to show details in the panels clamped onto Natasha Romanoff's suit of armor. The drums were incredibly light on bass, and when the chorus hit, all of the instruments muddled together into one audio glob.

Pros
- Bright 240Hz refresh rate panel
- Sleek design
- Good speakers
Cons
- Not as colorful as advertised
- No onboard audio settings

Reviewer score 98%The ViewSonic Elite XG270 is the first 240Hz monitor to pass through Blur Buster's PureXP tuning program. It's the first and only monitor that can safely claim that it's ahead of the curve in the battle against motion blur. At a reading of 413.8 peak nits in HDR mode, the brightness levels fell squarely within the expectations set by its HDR 10 spec.

Pros
- Sleek design

- Fast response time
- G-Sync certification
Cons
- Motion blur could be better

Reviewer score 67%The ViewSonic Elite XG270 is a good monitor for most uses. It excels as a gaming monitor due to its high refresh rate, fast response time, and low input lag. Its 27 inch screen provides plenty of room for multitasking. It has good coverage of the Adobe RGB color space, but it may need calibration if you want to do some photo editing.
