ViewSonic Elite XG270Q Gaming Monitor Review; Mesmerizing gaming experience
Viewsonic has recently expanded its gaming monitor portfolio in the Indian market with the launch of the shared a surprise box with ViewSonic Elite XG270Q. The gaming monitor comes with a plethora of features and the company has shared one review unit with me so that I have some good time playing games on it and writing reviews. In this article, I bought you a detailed review of the ViewSonic Elite XG270Q 27-inch gaming monitor and tell you whether it’s worth spending Rs 50,000 on this gaming monitor or not, let’s start with the design first.
ViewSonic Elite XG270Q Gaming Monitor Design
The ViewSonic Elite XG270Q comes in different screen sizes and the one which I received at my doorstep was the 27-inch one. The black color gaming monitor comes with minimal bezels on the top and sides, but the but chin has a slightly thicker chin which has the Elite branding and control buttons.
The two most amazing part of the ViewSonic Elite XG270Q gaming monitor was the stand and rear-mounted RGB lighting. The LED lights enhance the gaming experience in the low light scenario, the metal stand is a heavy one but it seems very sturdy as the display fits best on it. You can also adjust the height and viewing angle of the monitor thanks to the hydraulics adjustment panel. It also comes with a headphone stand placed on the left side of the monitor. You can pull out the hanger and place your headphones on them, it seems very thoughtful to me as I don’t have any dedicated stand for my gaming headphones. The overall design of the ViewSonic Elite XG270Q impressed me to the core and I must say that it would be a good asset on your gaming table in terms of looks.

ViewSonic Elite XG270Q Gaming Monitor performance
I have reviewed an array of gaming monitors so far but the ViewSonic Elite XG270Q stands out for some of the really interesting reasons.

The gaming performance of the ViewSonic Elite XG270Q was amazing, I have hardly witnessed any distortion in the video quality. Thanks to Nvidia G-Sync the gaming output was mesmerizing, on top of that the built-in speakers on the monitor performed really well.
