amazon ViewSonic VG2401mh reviews
Using VG2401mh, not only picture smoothly, the accuracy of the mouse cursor is also raised significantly. Sometimes just click faster, more standard each other a tick is enough to decide the failure of the game.
For a gaming system, graphics quality is undoubtedly the most important factor. The more beautiful the picture, the smoother the frame, the happier the game. So on the tea tables of PC enthusiasts and gamers, the hot topics usually revolve around this powerful graphics card, how the CPU gaming….
On the other hand, another very important component is that the screen is rarely mentioned. In fact, the screen is rarely upgraded, usually for a few years until newcomers (sometimes dozens of years). It is true that such a long-term investment must be thoroughly studied and selected right. Regrettably, based on what factor to judge a good or bad screen is 99% of users …not know.
Even gamers who read videogames on each of the gaming cards, know the best CPUs on the CPU, look at the configuration of the game as a daily game, and sometimes the game is still unfamiliar. . Which screen does not play games ?! That’s right. So what “gaming screen” is different from conventional monitors, and what difference does that make? Let’s get acquainted with ViewSonic VG2401mh – screen designed for gamers.

Before we thoroughly investigate the product, let’s take a look at the specifications of the ViewSonic VG2401mh is something different than usual.
Refresh frequency 144 Hz
This is the first difference, and also the largest between the screen game and normal screen. Compared to the screen we use daily (refresh rate is only 60 Hz), VG2401mh can display the number of frames in a second more than 2.4 times. If you wonder if the human eye feels the difference between 60 FPS and 144 FPS then the answer is: Yes, just try it out!
Beside the smoother image, the high refresh rate also helps to control the mouse cursor more accurately, especially important for you to play shooters. Of course, the requirement is that your PC must be powerful enough to output more than 60 frames per second.
Response time 1 ms
Contrast with the refresh rate as high as possible, response time as small as possible. Calculated in milliseconds, the response time is the time interval for a color to appear on a pixel and the time it completely disappears (rise and fall). The faster the response time, the less the ghost phenomenon when playing games or watching movies. What is ghost? Old image overlays the new image, because the old color did not turn off, the pixel was ordered by the graphics card display new color. In other words, the graphics card requires too fast color shifting, the pixel does not respond promptly, falls into the two-color display state at the same time, leaving the shade behind. This phenomenon is common in the action scenes rushed. Those who watch football on old TV probably understand the most “ghost” is like. Extremely dizzy
With 2.4-folds of normal screen, dedicated gaming monitors must lower the response time (the home screen is typically 5-8 ms), such as the ViewSonic VG2401mh is only 1 ms.
Brightness 350 cd / m2
The larger the parameter, the greater the brightness of the screen. 1 cd / m2 (candela / m2) is the brightness of a candle, meaning the brightness of VG2401mh is equivalent to the brightness of 350 candles. Compared to VX2263Smhl – another high quality ViewSonic products – the brightness is only 250 cd / m2, can see how high brightness VG2401mh. This factor makes it possible to display the screen clearly when faced against a strong light source, or to look more clearly when playing dark background games such as Silent Hill, Outlast, Doom …

Viewing angle 170/160 degrees
The ViewSonic VG2401mh has a 170/160-degree viewing angle, which means that you can still view the image on the screen while standing at the edge of the screen. In fact, no one wants to use a computer from such a bizarre position, but the wide viewing angles allow you to change your position.
ViewSonic VG2401mh
Although the VG2401mh is a special product, ViewSonic still uses the same box design as other conventional products. On this point I do not approve of, because there is no impression on the user at all.
Even on the cover of many technology applications on the product, but absolutely no where to show that this is Gaming products. The most impressive parameters such as 144 Hz, 1 ms, 350 cd / m2 … also completely not appear.
The hinges are solidly designed and subtle, the force acting to change the proper opening angle is heavy enough that the screen does not collapse but still does not make it difficult for the user.
The next feature that I found was even more unique: the VG2401mh has a swivel design on the back of the screen, which allows the screen to rotate.
On the slider, the user can freely change the height of the screen.
Operation keys are made by touch rather than the normal button, touch is the command.
Black screen, thick enough. I like the black borders and this thickness, and hate the thin border because there is no boundary between the image on the screen and the back wall, very easy to dazzle.
There is a strange detail and enlightenment on the support of VG2401mh. ViewSonic has a snap-on design that can be inserted and suspended. This detail I just commented is “strange” only, Using is not much.
The base is another plus point of this screen: Elegant but extremely solid.
There is a point that is a common feature of all monitors on the market: the sturdier the stand, the more difficult to remove. VG2401mh escape this rule. The connection between the support and the base is extremely smart, easily removable with just a simple screw.
The bottom of the base has a total of 5 rubber cushions: 3 pieces of rings and 2 circles. The friction with the tabletop is extremely tight.
Add a good point and unique: At the edge of the screen there are two USB 3.0 ports and one audio out. Removable HDD cables and pre-installed phone chargers are here, always in front of the user waiting to connect to the device. Headphones plugged directly into the screen also make the wire a bit more neat.
Number of rounded shoulder ports for a high-end monitor: 1 DisplayPort, 1 DVI and 2 HDMI.
Quality display
Targeted gamers are very strict about the image, quality display of VG2401mh need not argue. Clear color, crisp detail. The 144 Hz refresh rate and the 1 ms response time if used normally have little effect, but give a very different experience when playing games or watching movies. In fast-paced action scenes, the frame quickly flashes, ghosting is almost suppressed.
However, for better images playing games and watching movies better, the color of the VG2401mh slightly flatter a little more, meaning that what is shown on the screen will look better than the actual. While ViewSonic is trying not to abuse, graphic designers should also test before deciding to choose this product.
Viewing Angle – Light up
VG2401mh has a very wide viewing angle, even from the edge can still see the image clearly on the screen. Within 45 degrees from the right direction, the color is as beautiful as the look. From 45 degrees to the next begin to fade color gradually. On this point, the VG2401mh is somewhat inferior to the IPS-based monitors, but there is no such person sitting so far as to use the computer.
The bright test made me completely satisfied. Brightness takes place on the ultra-light VG2401mh, almost completely black. This is the least exposed product among the screens I’ve ever exposed.
Conclude
There is a phenomenon recently, the birth of the branded components “Gaming” – that is designed for gamers. They all have the same thing: beautiful, durable, high performance, many features. Not only gamers but many other users are convinced.
ViewSonic 2401mh is also a product like that. Although only play Dota 2 – a game with less high-speed processing situations (compared to shooters game) but I still feel the smoothness, smoother than many 60 Hz screen I am using. Over the image, the most significant is the accuracy of the cursor is raised significantly. Sometimes just click faster, more standard each other a tick is enough to decide the failure of the game.
Pros:
– The frequency of refreshed 144 Hz, response time 1 ms – almost completely eliminate phenomenon “ghost” in the action scenes rushed.
– Smooth game play, more precise mouse cursors thanks to maximum frame rate which can display up to 144 FPS.
– Clear colors, detailed images, sharp.

– Built-in 3W speaker.
– There are two USB 3.0 ports and an audio out port, so you have to connect the wires to the computer under the desk.
– Fix is light, almost completely black reproduction.
Cons:
– Colors slightly flattering eyes, is a minus point for people or graphic designers.
– In addition to the normal display mode only “Gaming” mode, no movie modes, editing, web surfing …
