ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solution products, launches the XG2530, a 25-inch (24.5-inch viewable) gaming monitor with AMD FreeSync technology, a refresh rate of 240Hz, 1ms response time and native Full HD 1080p (1920x1080) resolution. Packed with features for gaming enthusiasts, the ViewSonic® XG2530 can virtually eliminate screen tearing and stuttering for fluid gameplay during fast-paced action sequences. The XG2530 is engineered with an exclusive ColorX gaming mode that delivers optimum speed and visual effects, making it ideal for First Person Shooter [FPS] games, such as Overwatch*.

With a blazing-fast 1ms response time and low input lag, the XG2530 provides seamless screen performance even in the most graphic-intense scenes in gameplay. ViewSonic’s XG2530 features a 240Hz** refresh rate, ensuring greater fluidity and remarkable visual effects, not limiting in-game graphics no matter how fast or swift the action. This eliminates frustrating tracers and motion blur by supplying the smoothest visuals possible. In addition to ColorX, the monitor comes with an arsenal of pre-set customizable visual modes that make FPS, Real-Time Strategy [RTS], or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena [MOBA] games even better. A black stabilization function assists visibility options in dark scenes, while maintaining brilliant and vibrant colors and contrast.

The “ColorX” option delivers the optimal refresh rate, response time, and color for FPS games. A “Game Mode” hotkey opens pre-calibrated settings that deliver the best combination of color and technology for specific gaming scenarios. In addition, the XG2530 has two customizable “Gamer” settings that allows individuals to create and save preferences for specific games.

The XG2530 comes with versatile connectivity options such as DisplayPort® 1.2, HDMI® 1.4 and 2.0, as well as USB 3.0 A/B ports. Two integrated built-in speakers and audio-out provides a complete multimedia experience.

“Inspired to meet the very specific needs of the most demanding gamers, we developed the XG2530 with a wide range of options that can be the difference between winning and losing,” said Kenneth Mau, senior product marketing manager at ViewSonic Americas. “Loaded with lightning quick 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, AMD FreeSync technology, and a number of customizable modes for all types of games, the XG2530 delivers the stellar, stutter-free action that competitive gamers demand.”

The ViewSonic XG2530 will be available in May 2017 for an MSRP of $587.00 (USD).
