ViewSonic Introduces ELITE Gaming Monitors with G-SYNC IPS Nano Color and 1ms Response Time
ViewSonic announced new additions to the ELITE gaming portfolio. The company is expanding its gaming line-up with the ELITE XG27 gaming monitor series, XG05 gaming monitor series, ELITE Ally monitor control peripheral, and two new software applications.
ELITE XG270QG Gaming Monitor
The 27-inch ELITE XG270QG is an IPS Nano Color G-SYNC gaming monitor capable of achieving a true 1ms (GTG) response time. With its 144Hz (165Hz OC) refresh rate and NVIDIA G-SYNC technology, this groundbreaking monitor ensures smooth and uninterrupted gameplay for even the fastest scenarios. The new IPS Nano Color panel boasts a 2560x1440 (QHD) resolution and 98% DCI-P3 color coverage that brings games to life with deeper and more vibrant colors.
The XG270QG monitor also includes ELITE Design Enhancements; a series of features created to improve organization and elevate a gamer’s setup. These enhancements include a built-in mouse bungee, headphone hook, ELITE RGB ambient lighting, and an ultra-thin brushed aluminum base.
ELITE XG270 Gaming Monitor
The 27-inch ELITE XG270 is a 240Hz IPS panel that delivers incredible speed and clarity for esports enthusiasts. The IPS display’s ultra-fast 1ms (GTG) response time and 240Hz refresh rate enables smooth screen transitions while offering accurate color reproduction and wide viewing angles. The panel is equipped with a 1920x1080 (Full HD) resolution and 99%* sRGB color coverage to provide stunning images during gameplay. The XG270 also supports AMD Radeon™ FreeSync™ technology to help minimize screen artifacts and tearing.
ELITE XG270QC Gaming Monitor
The 27-inch ELITE XG270QC gaming monitor is designed to provide lifelike visuals and immerse gamers with its 1500R curvature and 2560x1440 (QHD) resolution. The XG270QC elevates gaming worlds with its 550 cd/m2 luminance and its wide DCI-P3 >90% color coverage. The monitor is fully loaded with a 165Hz refresh rate, 3ms (1ms MPRT) response time, and AMD Radeon FreeSync 2 technology to ensure a seamless gaming experience.
XG05 Gaming Monitor Series
The XG05 gaming monitor series launches with two new monitors: the 24-inch XG2405 and 27-inch XG2705. These gaming monitors consciously strike a balance between essential gaming features and affordability. Both displays are equipped with a 1920x1080 (Full HD) resolution and 3-side borderless IPS screen for immersive multi-monitor gaming. With a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms (MPRT), and AMD Radeon FreeSync technology, gamers are equipped with the tools they need to succeed.
“ViewSonic is always in pursuit of offering the latest and greatest in gaming technology,” said Kendall Miller, global gaming manager for ViewSonic ELITE. “These exciting new additions to the ELITE gaming monitor series deliver displays capable of providing the speed and clarity that gamers have been searching for.”
ELITE RGB & OSD Software
The first app to launch for ELITE gaming monitors, the ELITE RGB Controller, will allow easier access and control over a compatible monitor’s RGB accent backlighting. Users can choose from different lighting modes or customize their RGB colors from a collection of more than 16.8 million colors for a personalized RGB gaming atmosphere. An OSD software application, the ELITE Display Controller is capable of controlling both monitor display options and RGB ambient lighting modes. With the click of a mouse, users can customize display modes and change settings without physically interacting with the monitor’s OSD.
ELITE Ally
The ELITE Ally peripheral is a USB-connected touch-screen device that allows gamers to quickly access on-screen display settings, such as game modes, adaptive sync, HDR, brightness, contrast, RGB lighting and more. Users can fine-tune their gaming experience without touching the monitor or opening their ELITE display controller software. Currently, the ELITE Ally peripheral is only compatible with select ViewSonic ELITE gaming monitors.
Availability
The XG270QG and XG270 will be available worldwide in November 2019 with the following estimated street pricing:
Model ESP
- XG270QG $599.99 (USD)
- XG270 $429.99 (USD)

I assume these use the same LG panel as the new LG 27GL850. I think the LG one is a bit cheaper, but without the RGB stuff.

Nano IPS, means great colours and terrible contrast ratio. Although 550nits is brighter than the average "HDR" monitor.

It been long time since I owned Viewsonic Monitor, Think last one I had was one there High end CRT back in the day, sadly I no longer have it.
1ms for IPS is acceptable to me well as far as lcd/led response times go anyway, but there contrast and uniformity is still turn off for me.
normal IPS has horrid contrast why would "Nano" be any better?

Wait, how it suppose to produce colors without RGB?

The XG270QG is interesting but should have enabled HDR support. Even though it doesn't get super bright the 98 percent dci-p3 would result in some pretty colours in HDR!
Apparently nano IPS is an extra layer in the panel that actually helps with contrast?

Then let us know if that IPS gets ghosting at 240Hz. It should not if their claim of 1ms gtg is true.
But be warned. Check that screen in advance. 1920x1080 on 27'' makes for huge pixels. Check for space between them. And if you can distinct pixels from each other at your usual sitting distance. Or if you can see grid made of space between pixels.
Even my 24'' screen does have that issue if I am too close and there are certain colors shown while I move away from screen. Pretty annoying as it makes me fee like those pixels were much bigger. (Kind of like weak screen door effect.)
Nice. I love me some Viewsonic. Looks like i can step up from my 25 inch 240hz tn o that 27 inch ips......be picking that up pretty soon. I needes to move monitors around in the lab anyways. My old envision finally died, so I'm short one.

You're just trying too hard to see it..... I use a 27" Viewsonic 1080P display and I can't discern individual pixels without actually trying to see them.

God f'ing dammit. This looked like my next monitor. Well, nope.
There's 5 different monitors discussed in the article.... Only 1 of those 5 is a curved screen and that's the XG270QC. The XG270 and XG270QG, as well as both XG05 monitors are all flat screen.

There is a detailed review of the XG270QG on YouTube (I think the channel is called PC Monitors) apparently it's gen 1 G-SYNC with limitations like inability to use 10-bit colour and strobing when G-SYNC is enabled and the LG actually handles lower refresh rate better despite not having the G-SYNC module IIRC.
Was willing to spend the money to get this monitor until I saw that review so instead bought the LG 27GL850 (which I should hopefully receive today); should be a nice upgrade coming from an almost 10 year old Dell U2711 monitor.
