WE HAVE A WINNER THANKS TO the aggressive prices of the latest UHD TVs, the value proposition of any given PC monitor is pretty parlous. Take the new ViewSonic XG2703-GS. You get a paltry 27 inches of LCD panel, and a mere 2560×1440 pixels. ViewSonic XG2703-GS Smooth Visuals CHIP CONCLUDES Specifications In UHD TV land, […]

The ViewSonic XG2703-GS is a 27-inch monitor that uses a speedy 165Hz refresh rate and Nvidia's G-Sync technology to deliver stellar gaming performance. For the price, color accuracy could be better, and we wish there were more video ports.

Hands-on: ViewSonic XG2703-GS gaming monitor

As far as we’re concerned, the higher the refresh rate the better. We’re still waiting for a one billion Hz monitor, but we’re probably going to have to wait a little longer. In the meantime we’re psyched that the dawn of 165 Hz displays is finally here, and we’ve been playing around with a few of these high refresh rate beasts. Viewsonic’s 165 Hz IPS offering isn't cheap, but with a panel that does everything this one does you wouldn’t expect it to be.
