You may have a decently specced gaming system, but you’d be spending most of your time interacting with the peripherals, and so choosing them wisely is paramount. One such investment is a good gaming monitor and if you’re just starting out, you may get overwhelmed by the sheer cost and variety in the market. The <keyword id="511212" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="viewsonic" source="Orion">ViewSonic</keyword> XG2405 is a 24-inch gaming monitor that sets out to bridge this gap. It claims to offer several gamer-centric features such as support for AMD FreeSync, 144Hz refresh and low-input lag of 1ms, all at a price of ₹18,999. So should you consider buying it? Find out in our review. Design &amp; I/O <div type="image" title="hero" msid="88616773" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The ViewSonic XG2405 has an understated design that blends in well with any desktop setting. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Gaming monitors usually have the reputation of having gaudy, ostentatious designs marked by bright-coloured accents, RGB lights or angular lines. The ViewSonic XG2405 is a welcome deviation from this, as it has a rather understated design that’s tuned more towards practicality. Despite a slightly wide chin with the ViewSonic logo, it has really slim bezels, which is useful if you plan on going for a multi-monitor setup in the future. The entire monitor has a single colour although the finish of the plastic is different on the base and stand. Behind the display, on the right side, you’ll find five buttons that will help you navigate through the on-screen display (OSD) menu. While these are useful, I personally prefer a tiny joystick that makes selection much easier. Moving on to the stand, I found it to be extremely useful. It allowed me to painlessly go from landscape to portrait modes, without using any tools or upper body strength, and even height and tilt adjustments were super easy to make. You get about 12cm worth of wiggle room for height adjustment and you can tilt it between -5° and 20°. If you wish you hang it on a wall, you also get 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. Oh, and the stand also doubles up as a headphones holder. The rectangular base is extremely sturdy and there’s absolutely no chance of wobbling. But because it’s so big, it does end up eating a bit of your table’s real estate. That’s the price you have to pay for such a versatile stand, but it would get better if the company can find a way to shrink its size in the upcoming models. <div type="image" title="base" msid="88616854" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The ViewSonic XG2405&amp;#39;s sturdy base may take up a bit of your table’s real estate.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> In terms of I/O options, you have two HDMI ports, a DisplayPort and an audio input jack that allows you to connect your headphones. Display The XG2405 has a 24-inch IPS LCD panel with Full HD resolution and pixel density of 93 PPI. In terms of display size, this isn’t the biggest fish in the pond, but it doesn’t even have to be. It’s suited well to those who have a rather cosy setup or are planning to have multiple monitors as an extended setup. The IPS panel offers good viewing angles to the tune of 178°, but the contrast ratio of 1,000:1 isn’t as good as the ones provided by similarly price VA panels. There’s also a bit of visible blooming or a white glow around the corners, but it’s to an acceptable level for a monitor this price. It’s not too distracting and you’ll observe it only when you’ll watching or playing something that’s dark. Further, the monitor has a peak brightness of 250 nits it also comes with an anti-reflective coating that does a good job of keeping glares and reflections at bay. I used the monitor mostly in a brightly lit room, and I rarely ever had any issues using it. <div type="image" title="vertical" msid="88616932" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The ViewSonic XG2405 can be used in a portrait configuration with very little effort. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Moving on, it offers 8-bit colour depth and is capable of covering the basic sRGB colour gamut. Although theoretically, the colours should seem neutral and not oversaturated, I found that the default colour temperature to be slightly cooler. Nevertheless, you can change this to your liking and it shouldn’t be much of a dealbreaker if you’re planning to mostly game using this monitor. If you’re, however, planning to create content, it also comes with a pre-calibrated sRGB mode in which you can change brightness, unlike other monitors in the same range. Performance Moving on to the response times and gaming performance, the 144Hz refresh rate makes things smoother, a characteristic of high refresh rate monitors. It’s not only beneficial in gaming, but also in the overall fluidity of your experience. Further, it has a claimed MPRT or moving picture response time of just 1 millisecond, but to take advantage of this, you’ll have to enable a special mode in the settings. Once you do it, you’ll see a noticeable drop in brightness, but you’ll also observe reduced ghosting that enables smoother motion clarity. This should only be done in games that can achieve a steady FPS on your system that’s equal to the refresh rate of your monitor (so 144FPS:144Hz), or else you’ll not enjoy the intended result. I tried this on CS: GO on an Asus ROG Strix G15, and it does make things much, much faster. Another gamery feature of this monitor is the ability to support AMD FreeSync out-of-the-box. Although there’s no official support for Nvidia’s G-Sync, it does work with supported GeForce cards (GTX 10-series or newer) without giving you much grief, although if you want to enjoy this, you’ll have to connect only via the DisplayPort. <div type="image" title="swivel stand" msid="88616975" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;ViewSonic XG2405&amp;#39;s offers a lot of freedom of movement in every axis. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Just so you know, this tech allows the monitor to change its refresh rate dynamically, synchronized with the frame rate of your game. This helps eliminate a visual artefact called ‘screen tearing’, in which you literally see a tear between the content being displayed on your screen. It also helps in reducing stuttering without a noticeable input lag penalty. There are also other notable features in this monitor such as Black Stabilization, which improves visibility in darker games, and some other pre-calibrated genre-specific picture presets such as FPS, RTS &amp; MOBA. You may dig some of these, I just set it either on Text or Standard presets as it suited my style more. Verdict In my month of usage, the ViewSonic XG2405 managed to offer good features and decent performance. It doesn’t break the bank, offers an IPS display and a decent choice of ports too. And when you toss in that ergonomic stand in the mix, it becomes difficult to recommend this monitor for anybody starting to get serious about gaming. Sure, it does struggle with a bit of blooming and the added heft of its base, but that’s not something that should break the deal. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 451.276pt;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Pros </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Cons </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">144Hz refresh rate </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">The base of the stand takes up a lot of space </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">IPS panel with good viewing angles </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Blooming may be visible when playing darker games at night </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Competitively priced </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Nvidia G-Sync support only on DisplayPort </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">AMD FreeSync support out of the box </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Navigating through the OSD may be annoying </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Low input lag </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"> </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Fantastic ergonomic stand </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"> </td></tr></tbody></table>

Now, a patent published by the United States Patent &amp; Trademark Office (<a href="https://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;d=PG01&amp;p=1&amp;u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&amp;r=1&amp;f=G&amp;l=50&amp;s1=%2220210402888%22.PGNR.&amp;OS=DN/20210402888&amp;RS=DN/20210402888">USPTO</a>) showcases how various charging systems can be used to power autonomous vehicles like cars, trucks, boats and more. Since charging an electric vehicle can get complex depending on its requirement i.e., charging method, power levels and location of charging, the company is looking to develop various charging systems to meet the demands. Let’s take a look at the charging systems that Apple might introduce with its electric car. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="On-board charging" comment="subhead" text="On-board charging">On-board charging</cmsannotation> First, we take a look at the onboard charging system, which is installed in vehicles and requires less space, weighing less than the off-board charger. Here, the vehicle gets charged by connecting the charger using a plug interface to the vehicle’s battery. It uses two conductors where one will be connected to the alternating current terminals of an onboard alternating current-to-direct current converter of the vehicle and the second pair of conductors are connected to terminals of a battery of the vehicle. The battery gets charged through alternating current from the first conductor while being charged via direct current from the second conductor. This system will be used for limited charging requirements. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Off-board charging" comment="subhead" text="Off-board charging">Off-board charging</cmsannotation> If a user requires large power and fast charging, then an off-board set-up that requires an alternating current circuit breaker panel can be installed at home to charge the battery of a vehicle. Here, the off-board charging system will allow the vehicle battery to be charged concurrently with both alternating current and direct current. Here, an external battery can be used to provide direct current and increase the charging rate. The off-board charger can help provide alternating current to the onboard charging system alternating current-to-direct current converter, which will then be utilised to charge the battery. It can help reduce the size and cost of the external charger. Sometimes, a charging communications system of the vehicle controls both the alternating current based onboard charger and the direct current output of the off-board charger. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Solar charging" comment="subhead" text="Solar charging">Solar charging</cmsannotation> Even solar cells can be used to power the vehicle battery. It will be able to provide a direct current to charge the battery and can be used to charge external battery storage. The external battery storage can later be used with the off-board charging system to provide power at a faster rate. External battery usage can also be used bi-directionally using direct-current to direct-current converter. This can be utilised to either charge the battery of the vehicle or at home during blackouts. A charging interface is used to connect the charging modules to the battery of the vehicles. These modules of charging open up many possibilities for powering electric vehicles in the future.
