At CES 2016 ViewSonic launched a number of monitors including models aimed at gamers, as well as multimedia monitors and a new series of projectors aimed at home users. The monitor specialist firm revealed a total of four new gaming monitors, as part of its XG series. These variously support resolutions from Full HD to 4K UHD, ultra-fast response times, low input lag, plus Nvidia G-SYNC or AMD FreeSync technologies.

Starting at the low end of the quartet, here is the smallest panel in the new XG range. Its 24-inch diagonal TFT LCD screen sports full HD resolution. The ViewSonic XG2401 supports up to 144Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync technology, and a 1ms response time. This monitor will be available to buy later this month and has an MSRP of $404.
