ViewSonic VX2718-P-MHD 27"
A 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response time on a 27-inch VA panel deliver fluid motion for competitive gaming, while FreeSync prevents screen tearing. The frameless design suits multi-monitor setups, and flicker-free technology with a blue light filter reduces eye strain during long sessions. This monitor is best for budget-conscious esports gamers who prioritize high speed and smooth visuals over 1440p resolution.
