Our Verdict
ViewSonic Elite XG270
ViewSonic XG2431
The ViewSonic XG2431 and the ViewSonic Elite XG270 are similar 1080p gaming monitors with a 240Hz refresh rate, although the XG270 is slightly bigger. Motion handling is fantastic between each of them, but the XG2431 has a more customizable backlight strobing feature, as you can control the pulse width and phase. The XG2431 also accepts a 10-bit signal, which the XG270 doesn't, so there's less banding with shades of similar colors.
