27" 1080p 120Hz IPS Gaming Monitor

The ViewSonic VX2716A is a 27 inch Full HD gaming monitor built on an IPS panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time. It covers 16.7 million colours at 300 cd/m2 brightness and a 1300:1 static contrast ratio. Connectivity includes USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort with daisy-chain support. Anti-glare coating and 178° viewing angles complete the package.

Suited for 120Hz gaming and multi-screen setups

This display suits players who want smooth 120Hz motion on a 27 inch 1080p screen and need USB-C alongside HDMI and DisplayPort for a tidy desk. The daisy-chain capability helps multi-monitor users reduce cable clutter. Buyers targeting higher resolutions, HDR certification or refresh rates above 120Hz should consider other models.

120Hz refresh rate at 1920x1080

The single specification that decides fit is the 120Hz refresh rate at 1920x1080 resolution. It defines the motion clarity and GPU load you can expect. If your workflow or games demand a faster panel or more pixels, this monitor will not match those requirements.
