With ViewSonic's monitor you get 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, an ultra-fast 1 ms response time, and an awesome 144 Hz refresh rate. That makes it ideal for gamers. It also uses AMD FreeSync technology to reduce screen tearing during high-paced action and smooth out those frame rates. It might also be G-Sync compatible, but that information is not available yet. The IPS panel gives you 178-degree viewing angles so you can get a good view of what's on the screen no matter where you're watching from.

Some of the built-in tech includes flicker-free technology and a blue light filter to help reduce eye fatigue during long sessions. It also has pre-set visual modes that are customizable for whatever type of game you're playing.

Connectivity options include two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort. ViewSonic covers it with a three-year warranty.

The key to this screen is that it's an IPS panel with large viewing angles and good color accuracy. But at the same time it has a 1 ms response time, which is unusual for these panel types. Include a price that's under $300 and you've got a very unique product. Similar monitors go for as much as $500 or more and even then still don't have 1 ms response times. Only monitors with TN panels can reach this price with these specifications generally, but TN panels are less expensive because they're less accurate with strict viewing angles.
