Asus VG279QM vs ViewSonic XG270QG - Response Times

I'm looking for a new gaming monitor and came across the Asus VG279QM and the ViewSonic XG270QG. Can you give me some input on their response times?

Hey @KingKrino, both of those monitors have great response times. The Asus VG279QM has a 1 ms response time, while the ViewSonic XG270QG also offers a 1 ms response time.

Yeah, I've been using the ViewSonic XG270QG for a few weeks now and it's really smooth. I haven't noticed any ghosting or blurring in my games.

Oh nice! I'll definitely take a look at that Asus 27" VG279QM vs. ViewSonic 27" XG270QG. So, is there any other crucial factor apart from response time that we should consider when choosing a monitor?

Response time is definitely important, but you should also consider the refresh rate. The higher the better, as it will give you smoother gameplay and less motion blur.

I've been using the Asus VG279QM for a while now, and I must say its 180 Hz refresh rate really makes a difference in my gaming experience. The smoothness is great!

That's good to know @LarsofArcana. So, are there any downsides to having such high refresh rates?

Well, one thing to keep in mind is that higher refresh rates require more powerful graphics cards to achieve the optimal gaming experience.

True. But if you have a decent GPU, I'm sure both of these monitors would perform admirably. Thanks for sharing your experiences @KingKrino, @dudefromvirginia and @LarsofArcana. I think I might go for one of them!

Yeah, they're both great choices. Just make sure to do some more research before making your final decision. Good luck!
