This 27-inch 4K monitor can be fine-tuned for FPS and strategy games

By Darren Allan

ViewSonic has unveiled a new monitor called the XG2700-4K, which rocks a 27-inch 4K panel. The XG2700 is aimed at gamers and boasts a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160, with the panel being a SuperClear IPS affair which delivers both stunning definition and colours, according to ViewSonic.

The display is rated with a 5ms response time – not the fastest, but ViewSonic claims that a “built-in process reducer” will help with lowering input lag. The XG2700 also comes with AMD FreeSync to ensure smooth frame rates with no stuttering or tearing.

As it’s a gaming monitor, unsurprisingly there are a number of features targeted at gamers, and these include a Game Mode which optimises colour settings and visuals for different genres such as RTS, MOBA, or first-person shooters.

As ever, we’ll just have to see whether that’s genuinely useful or gimmicky, though most folks will probably make use of another feature, namely black stabilisation. This helps pick out enemy players in dark areas while still maintaining colours and contrast levels elsewhere.
