ViewSonic VX2718-P-MHD 27-inch 1080p HD Gaming Monitor, 165Hz, 1ms, Dual Integrated Speakers, Adaptive Sync, DisplayPort, 2x HDMI, for Home Entertainment and Gaming

I've had 2 of these monitors for 18 months now and they're still in tip-top condition. This is everything you could want or need from a monitor that's budget friendly. Fantastic quality for the price from a brand I'd never heard of.

I bought this mainly for the size and the 165hz refresh rate, also I read that VA monitors have a deeper black than IPS without the constant backglow, I can confirm this seems to be the case with this VA monitor, as my previous monitor was an IPS.As an added bonus and something that isn't listed in the specs in the OSD there is an HDR option that you can enable, Windows also allows you to toggle the HDR option within the OS when this is enabled, this sets the screen to a very bright setting with no option to change the brightness but in my personal opinion it is much nicer than not enabling HDR and manually configuring it, this was based on general usage and watching HDR videos on YouTube with and without the HDR setting enabled. It's likely only HDR 400 or close to, though I thought it was a nice surprise addition nonetheless.There does appear to be some slight ghosting? As noted by other reviews, and setting the response time to standard seems to be the go to recommendation, though I would advise you try all of the OSD options and configure your graphics card drivers to get the best possible visual settings that work for you.Aside from the above it seems a perfectly good monitor for the price,the stand is fine though nothing to write home about, the OSD is easy to navigate,it has speakers which most won't use though are fine for basic use, office, maybe the odd YouTube video though I wouldn't recommend for gaming or music.All in all for the £145 I paid for the 27" 165hz version, it's well worth it. 4.5 stars

This is good value for money. Yes it's a bit dark, yes the speakers are poor, yes the settings menu is clunky but overall its not bad. Best way to describe it, is it doesn't have all the bell's and whistles of all the top of the range monitors, but it's not bad. Can it be improved, yes, am I happy with it, yes, is it good value for money, absolutely . Seems to be let down as it it doesn't have all the latest software to make it stunning. A Good starting point for 1080p gaming, but there are better out there, just depends on your budget. Has 165mhz and display port and also comes with dp cable. The only annoying thing I've found strange, is that it doesn't have a little Green/Red led light to tell you if it's on or off.

I’ve been shopping around for a decent sized monitor for quite a while now. There are literally thousands to choose from, but I was working to a budget.I didn’t want to spend anything more than around £175. This monitor came in to save the day. I was a little skeptic about the brand as I hadn’t heard of them before, but I honestly am so impressed with the monitor. The box it comes in is really professional and neatly packed, it sets up really easily too.It automatically starts of at 60Hz, so you will need to increase it manually (something I have not figured out how to do while using an Xbox Series S). But the graphics are really smooth and a major step up from a standard TV.I got the 27” and I don’t think it’s really need to be any bigger.

Grandson has this for his gaming PC, he is super pleased just the right size for a game and course work

Very good value for the money i paid and it has been very reliable and flawless for years so I can fully recommend the brand but I also very much regret buying a VA monitor before looking it up. They have great colour range and accuracy but the blur is terrible in any fast paced games. This is not a gaming monitor.

Happy with the monitor, I am not a pro gamer , so cant rate it bad/good for gaming.has speakers as a bonus. yes its not hidef audio but its meets its purpose for occasional youtube videos. I usually use a headset

Before I ordered my 2nd of this monitor, I loved it. Was cheap, fantastic value for money and was my main monitor. I ordered my 1st way back in April and it has held its own ever since, in fact I loved it so much I thought I would order another one, and as of right now I am using the 1st monitor to write this review.Apon arrival to the 2nd monitor arriving I was very excited, having 2 of the same size monitors, and the same model monitors as my main 2 monitors on my multi-monitor setup. When I opened the box at first everything seemed normal, however when I fixed it on my monitor arm I realised my first issue. It doesn't sit flush on my monitor arm. It sits lower to my other monitor, despite being placed on the EXACT same level and the mount being placed in the EXACT same spot on each monitor. I thought I could let it slide, and I'd be fine with it. But when I got all the leads put the box to power it up, I realised I couldn't. Not only does it not sit flush on my monitor arm, they have sent me the wrong power lead, and as I don't have a spare, I now cannot use the 2nd monitor, until I have to spend more money top buy a power lead as this company couldn't even be bothered to check if everything had been placed inside the box.So from what would've been a fantastic 5* review had everything worked as it should've, is now tainted and I am thus having to leave a 1*. Shocking guys, genuinely shocking. Fix up
