Our take
I've been using the ViewSonic VX2718-P-MHD for a few weeks now, and for the price, it's hard to beat. The 165 Hz refresh rate makes motion look smooth in fast-paced games, and the 4000:1 contrast ratio delivers deep blacks that really pop. That said, the 250 cd/m² brightness is a bit low—I find myself cranking it up in well-lit rooms. The built-in speakers are convenient but nothing special. Adaptive-Sync works well to eliminate screen tearing, and the anti-glare coating is a nice touch. Overall, it's a solid budget gaming monitor that does exactly what it promises.
