Case Study: Shawnee State University elevates esports and game design with ViewSonic gaming monitors and projector

Shawnee State University - Customer Case Study

Shawnee State University, a public university with leading game design and esports programs, faced a challenge supporting its students and varsity teams. Their existing classroom monitors lacked the high refresh rates and low response times needed for optimal game development practice and competitive esports play, particularly in fast-paced titles like Overwatch and Rocket League.

ViewSonic provided a solution with twelve XG2530 gaming monitors and a PX706HD short throw projector. The results were immediate and significant: students gained a critical edge with 240Hz refresh rates and 1ms response times for blur-free gameplay, developers could accurately test their programs, and the projector enhanced both practices and conference presentations. The ViewSonic equipment became so essential that team members compete to use the monitors, and the university is even considering renting out the projector to raise funds.
