Our take
I've been using the ViewSonic VX2718-PC-MHD for a few weeks now, and it's a solid budget gaming monitor. The 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make fast-paced games feel smooth and responsive. The 1080p resolution looks sharp on the 27-inch curved screen, and the VA panel delivers deep blacks with a 4000:1 contrast ratio. Colors are decent out of the box, but I had to tweak settings to get the brightness right—250 nits is fine for indoor use. The built-in speakers are weak, but that's expected. Connectivity is adequate with DisplayPort and HDMI 1.4, though HDMI 2.0 would be nicer. For under $200, this monitor offers great value for competitive gaming on a budget.
