Overall Impression

The ViewSonic XG272 is a 27-inch 1440p OLED gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, aimed at PC and console gamers. Commenters call it a great-looking OLED panel and praise the thoroughness of reviews covering it. Several viewers note that current GPUs struggle to push 2K games past 140fps, meaning the monitor's 240Hz ceiling often goes unused on PC. Console owners point out that PS5 cannot fully use 240Hz, with only a possible PS5 Pro getting closer. Price is the most debated topic: some found deals around 476 USD, while US commenters say similarly specced LG, ROG, or Alienware OLEDs cost 100 to 200 dollars less. In Turkey, pricing reportedly reaches 1500 USD, which one commenter called theft.

Cool, the only thing i need now is for the rtx 5080 to come out, so that i can reach those 200 fps in 2k\nSadly right now, the GPUs are falling behind monitors. Oleds are all 240+ now, and barely any game reaches even 140 in 2k.\nMonitora are winning GPUs in the race of progression.

Frequently criticized

Multiple commenters flag the price as a downside, with one noting similarly specced LG or ROG OLED monitors cost about $200 less, or a 360Hz Alienware OLED costs $100 less. Another commenter found a lower price of $476 in their country, questioning why it isn't more popular elsewhere.

@bluehat1234

Great review, im confused why this monitor is not as popular as the other monitors on the market. Is it the price? There is one on sale in my country for 476 USD (Converted fro IDR).

Nice monitor but too expensive (at least in the States). You can get a similarly-specced LG or ROG OLED for $200 less, or a 360hz Alienware OLED for $100 less.

A commenter in Turkey reports the monitor selling for 1500 USD, calling the pricing 'madness and theft' compared to what it should cost.

Take a look at the prices in Türkiye. This monitor is sold for 1500 USD in my country. Madness and theft.

Frequently criticized

A commenter points out that current GPUs can't keep up with the monitor's 240Hz capability in 2K, noting barely any game reaches even 140fps, so the panel's speed advantage over GPUs is currently underused.

One commenter notes that the 240Hz refresh rate is mostly wasted on PS5, since only a potential PS5 Pro might support it, and even that isn't certain.

@bhoqeem1975

240Hz? Mostly wasted on PS5. You need--PERHAPS--PS5 Pro for that, and even that I am not sure it'll support 240Hz.
