What Buyers Say
ViewSonic TD2230 22" Black 2016
The ViewSonic TD2430 touchscreen monitor is generally well-received for its value, display quality, and touch responsiveness, especially for non-gaming tasks like video work. However, users consistently warn about the highly glossy screen that requires an anti-glare film, and some find the IO port covers frustratingly difficult to remove. The built-in speakers are mediocre, and the monitor may have minor HDMI/DP detection quirks, but overall it's praised for its portability and price.
Pros
- Good value for money
- Responsive touch screen
- Good display quality
- Portable and lightweight
- Built-in speakers work
Cons
- Glossy screen requires anti-glare film
- Difficult to remove I/O port covers

ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCDMG 27" BLACK 2025
The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27UCDMG is overwhelmingly praised as a top-tier gaming monitor, with users highlighting its stunning 4K QD-OLED picture quality, deep blacks, vibrant colors, and buttery-smooth 240Hz refresh rate. Verified buyers consistently call it the best monitor they've ever used, noting excellent build quality and responsiveness. Minor drawbacks include a glossy screen that can reflect light, potential text clarity issues due to the subpixel layout, and a lack of included VESA screws, but these are far outweighed by the exceptional gaming and media experience. The Neo Proximity Sensor and OLED Care features provide peace of mind against burn-in, making it a highly recommended investment for enthusiasts.
