About this product
The ViewSonic XG2736-2K is a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor with an IPS panel, 240Hz refresh rate, 2ms response time, and FreeSync support. It offers 2560x1440 resolution, 300 cd/m² brightness, and a 1000:1 static contrast ratio. Priced at $319.99, it targets gamers wanting high refresh rates with adaptive sync.
Our take
The XG2736-2K with FreeSync is a step up from the CR version, though they're nearly identical. The 240Hz refresh rate is excellent for competitive gaming, and FreeSync ensures tear-free gameplay with compatible GPUs. The IPS panel delivers good colors and wide viewing angles, but the 2ms response time is not the fastest—fast-paced games may show slight motion blur. Brightness at 300 nits is adequate, and the 1000:1 contrast ratio means blacks look gray in dark scenes. The stand offers height adjustment, but it's a bit bulky. At $319.99, it's a reasonable deal for a 240Hz 1440p monitor, but there are cheaper options with similar specs.
