27 Inch 1500R Curved Gaming Monitor

The ViewSonic VX2718-PC-MHD is a 27 inch curved gaming monitor built on a VA panel with a 1500R radius. It delivers Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution at a 165Hz refresh rate with a 1ms MPRT response time. AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync and 4000:1 static contrast complete the core specification.

Competitive Players Versus Colour-Critical Users

The high refresh rate, low response time and adaptive sync suit competitive FPS, RTS and MOBA players who prioritise motion clarity. The VA panel’s deep contrast benefits dark-scene visibility. Professionals requiring factory colour accuracy or wide-gamut coverage for print or grading work should evaluate dedicated creator displays instead.

165Hz Refresh Rate Over DisplayPort 1.2

The single specification that decides suitability is the 165Hz maximum refresh rate available through the DisplayPort 1.2 input. HDMI 1.4 ports are also provided but do not support this rate. If your graphics card and cable cannot drive 165Hz at 1080p over DisplayPort, the monitor will run at a lower refresh rate.

Questions about this item

What are the physical dimensions and mounting options for the 27 inch curved screen?

The monitor has a 1500R curvature and a frameless design with a black cabinet. A DisplayPort cable and power adapter are included in the box.

How do I connect the monitor to achieve the 165Hz refresh rate and enable FreeSync Premium?

Use the included DisplayPort 1.2 cable for 165Hz. Adaptive-Sync works over DisplayPort to eliminate screen tearing. HDMI 1.4 ports are also available for other devices.

What long-term care does the VA panel need to maintain the 4000:1 contrast and eye-care features?

The flicker-free backlight and blue light filter are hardware-based and require no settings changes. Clean the screen gently with a dry microfiber cloth to preserve the anti-glare coating.
