About this product
The ViewSonic VX2718-2KPC-MHD is a 27-inch QHD (2560x1440) curved gaming monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium.

The monitor is designed for immersive gaming with high refresh rates and vibrant colors.
Our take
This monitor punches above its price point with 1440p resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, making it a great choice for competitive and immersive gaming. The VA panel's 4000:1 contrast ratio delivers deep blacks and rich colors, and the curved screen adds to the immersion. FreeSync Premium ensures smooth, tear-free gameplay. My only gripes are the 250 cd/m² brightness, which is okay but could be brighter for HDR-ish content, and the 5ms response time, which is decent but not the fastest. Also, the stand is basic with limited ergonomics. For $134.99, it's an excellent value for a 1440p high-refresh monitor.
