ViewSonic has expanded its monitor lineup with the release of the XG272-2K-OLED in the US market. This launch follows the recent global debut of their VX2758A-2K-PRO and the China-exclusive VX2758-4K-PRO-2. The XG272-2K-OLED features a 27-inch OLED panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution (also known as 2.5K or 1440p). The OLED technology is known for its exceptional contrast, deep blacks, and vibrant colors, so the content should look pretty good here.
While ViewSonic hasn’t disclosed the OLED
panel supplier, the specifications strongly suggest it’s sourced from LG
Display, a leading provider of OLED panels for various devices. Anyway, the
panel boasts a speedy 240Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals and a fast 0.02ms
GtG response time to minimize ghosting during fast-paced action. Likewise, its
peak brightness can reach up to 450 nits for HDR content.
The monitor includes both AMD FreeSync
Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility to minimize screen tearing during gaming
sessions. For improved comfort during extended use, it offers an adjustable
stand for customizable positioning. The
monitor also features RGB lighting elements that can be tailored to your
preferences, as well as integrated 3W speakers for basic audio output.
As for the connectivity options, it
includes a USB Type-C input, four USB 3.1 ports (offering both Type-A and
Type-B connections), and a 3.5mm audio jack for headphones or external
speakers. Unfortunately, ViewSonic has not yet announced the pricing for the
XG272-2K-OLED. Instead, the company is showing a “contact sales” button on the
website which could likely mean the pricing may vary based on individual or
bulk orders. Just our guess though.
