ViewSonic announces two new 430 Hz gaming monitors with USB-C 96 W and HDMI 2.1 ports

ViewSonic has offered up various new monitors of late, whether that be the VX2700-4K-PRO or XG323-4K-OLED2. Additionally, it has outlined the VX2781-2K-PRO-4 and XG273-2K, which share far more features than their names would otherwise suggest. As TFTCentral notes, it appears that ViewSonic has sought to distinguish the pair by their designs.

Specifically, the XG273-2K has a much narrower stand than the VX2781-2K-PRO-4, whose stand juts out with two long arms. Moreover, while the XG273-2K's white back panel extends to the rear part of its stand, the VX2781-2K-PRO-4 has a simpler grey and black housing accented with RGB lighting.

Both utilise 27-inch 'Fast IPS' panels though that not only output at 1440p (2,560 x 1,440) but also deliver 430 Hz refresh rates. Furthermore, ViewSonic claims that the two monitors cover 98% of the DCI-P3 colour space while mastering VESA's DisplayHDR 600 tier, thanks to 600 nits peak brightness. Unfortunately, pricing and availability remains unknown for now. Conversely, it is evident that the VX2781-2K-PRO-4 and XG273-2K will eventually be available with the following I/O:

• 2x 3 W speakers
• 1x 3.5 mm jack
• 1x DisplayPort 1.4
• 2x HDMI 2.1
• 1x USB Type-A
• 1x USB Type-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode/96 W Power Delivery)
• 1x USB Type-C (15 W Power Delivery)
