Esports monitor for competitive play

The ViewSonic XG2536 is a 25 inch gaming monitor built for fast-paced competition. Its 280 Hz refresh rate and 0.5 ms MPRT response time keep motion sharp during high-speed action. AMD FreeSync Premium synchronises the panel with compatible graphics output for tear-free gameplay. The 24.5 inch viewable area fits inside most peripheral vision zones.

Connections and desk space to verify

Check that your system can output 1920x1080 at 280 Hz over DisplayPort, HDMI or USB-C before ordering. The USB-C port delivers up to 65 W power delivery for charging a laptop or phone while gaming. A narrow-footprint stand reduces the base depth so keyboard and mouse sit closer to the screen. Ensure your desk allows the stand footprint and preferred viewing distance.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The IPS panel runs at 300 cd/m² brightness with a 1000:1 static contrast ratio and 16.7 million colours. LED backlighting and anti-glare coating keep surface temperatures low during extended sessions. No fan is present so acoustic output is limited to coil whine at typical levels. Power draw scales with brightness and USB-C load but remains within standard monitor ranges.

Questions about this item

Will this monitor fit on a compact desk without pushing my keyboard back?

The narrow-footprint stand is designed to sit closer to the rear edge, leaving more room for mouse and keyboard placement.

Can I run a laptop and charge it from the same cable?

The USB-C port delivers up to 65 W of power, so most ultrabooks and thin-and-light laptops can charge while sending video.

Does the panel support variable refresh rate with an Nvidia card?

FreeSync Premium is certified for AMD adaptive sync; Nvidia G-Sync Compatible mode works on many cards but is not guaranteed by the manufacturer.
