The monitor has a VESA mount. For the average response rate, the ViewSonic XG270QG scores 7.7 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the ViewSonic XG270QG has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 20 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. In terms of pixel density, the ViewSonic XG270QG has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. For graphics color quality, the ViewSonic XG270QG has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The ViewSonic XG270QG has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The ViewSonic XG270QG is a relatively new monitor. For the extremely fast frame rates, the ViewSonic XG270QG has a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. ViewSonic XG270QG has a total input lag of 16.2 ms, which is bad among the competition. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 883 : 1. The brightness of ViewSonic XG270QG is lower than other monitors. Without the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is not compatible with AMD graphics cards.
