Our take on the VIEWSONIC MONITOR VA 27 16:9 QHD CURVO 1M 165HZ HDMI DP COLUNAS VX2718-2KPC-MHD

The ViewSonic VX2718-2KPC-MHD is a 27-inch curved gaming monitor with a 2560 x 1440 QHD panel, a 165 Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms response time. It uses a VA panel with 178-degree viewing angles, built-in speakers and a VESA mount. The 1500R curve wraps the image around your view, which suits desk gaming but is a taste some buyers never get used to. Against flat IPS rivals it trades color accuracy and off-angle consistency for deeper blacks and a more immersive curve.

Questions and answers

Is this monitor good for gaming?

Yes. It pairs a 165 Hz refresh rate with a 1 ms response time and QHD resolution, which suits fast-paced games. The VA panel favors contrast over the fastest dark-scene clarity.

Is the curve a problem for office work?

It depends on taste. The 1500R curve is mild, but some users find straight lines and text less comfortable on a curved screen over long work sessions.

Does it have built-in speakers?

Yes, it has built-in speakers, so you get sound without separate units. They are basic and better suited to alerts and casual listening than to serious audio.

Can I mount it on an arm or wall bracket?

Yes, it supports VESA mounting, so you can use a monitor arm or wall bracket instead of the included stand.

What connections does it offer?

It has HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, so it works with PCs, consoles and laptops that output over either connection.

Is it worth choosing over a flat IPS monitor?

Choose it for contrast, the curve and high refresh at QHD. Pick a flat IPS model instead if you need accurate colors and consistent viewing from wide angles.
