ViewSonic, the American electronics company that is driven by what it says is a mission to deliver exceptional visual experiences, will be showing off a new OLED gaming monitor at CES 2025 (January 7–10) that features a 520 Hz refresh rate, according to a new report. News of ViewSonic’s alleged plans comes just two weeks after a local outlet in South Korea reported that Samsung had been developing a very fast OLED display, one that supports a refresh rate of 500 Hz. See below for some promos for the XG272-2K, a 27-inch 1440p monitor from ViewSonic that advertises a 240 Hz refresh rate and other premium features for gamers.
The most important feature of the new gaming monitor is its fast, variable refresh rate of up to 520 Hz. This is to be combined with a response time of 1 ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) and support for AMD FreeSync Premium. It is assumed that the display will have a WQHD resolution of 2,560 × 1,440 pixels and a display diagonal of 27 inches. However, details on this are not yet known.

Hey I had a viewsonic CRT that lasted for freakin ever.
I had a pair of 20" (4:3) flat panel LCDs back in 2000. Their glory days are behind them, I think, because their recent offerings (say, in the last 10 years) have easily been eclipsed by other, less expensive but just as high quality (if not higher quality), brands.
I remember Viewsonic being a decent brand back in the 90's. But that was a long time ago now, and I'm not sure the brand is as highly regarded as it once was.
Viewsonic CRTs were siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!
Yeah, back in the CRT days.
Same.
Yeah, those days were the CRT era, and good gawd did they make some awesome CRTs.
Also I remember the Viewsonic VX922 as the first LCD panel I didn't absolutely hate (this was back during the TN-only days). My friend had one of those. Still, I didn't come around on LCDs until VA and especially IPS started taking off. I never wanna see a TN panel ever again.
