ViewSonic has listed the VX25G26-2K-10, a compact gaming monitor that combines a 24.5-inch Fast IPS panel with a 2560 × 1440 resolution and a native 280Hz refresh rate.
The model was spotted on the company’s website and reported by IT Home. It occupies a relatively specialised part of the gaming-monitor market: most high-refresh 24-inch-class displays use Full HD panels, while QHD is more commonly paired with 27-inch screens.
A dense QHD panel built for fast games
According to the listed specifications, the VX25G26-2K-10 reaches 350 nits of brightness and has a claimed 1,300:1 static contrast ratio. ViewSonic quotes a 1ms grey-to-grey response time, while colour reproduction is rated at 100% of the sRGB gamut and 92% of DCI-P3. The panel uses 8-bit colour with frame-rate control and carries a 25% haze, 3H anti-glare coating.
The 280Hz refresh rate is paired with variable refresh rate support to reduce tearing when a game’s frame rate fluctuates. Hardware-level low-blue-light functionality and flicker-free operation are also listed. As usual, response-time, colour and motion-performance claims will need independent testing to show how the display behaves across its available settings.
HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort connectivity
Connectivity consists of two HDMI 2.1 inputs, one DisplayPort 1.4 input and a 3.5mm audio output. A USB-A port is included solely for firmware updates rather than peripheral connectivity, and there is no built-in USB hub or USB-C input.
The monitor uses an external power supply and does not include speakers. Its stand supports tilt adjustment from -5 to +20 degrees, but the published specifications do not list height, swivel or pivot adjustment. Buyers who need a more flexible setup may therefore want to check mounting compatibility or budget for a separate monitor arm.
Black and ivory-white versions
The standard VX25G26-2K-10 comes in a black-and-grey finish. ViewSonic has also prepared the ivory-white VX25G26-2K-W-10, offering the same underlying display in a colour that should fit lighter desktop setups.
Pricing and market-by-market availability were not disclosed in the report. The port labels also do not, by themselves, establish the maximum refresh rate available over each input, so prospective buyers should consult ViewSonic’s regional product documentation before choosing a cable or graphics-card connection.
