How to install ViewSonic VX2718-2KPC-MHD
Setting up your VX2718-2KPC-MHD is quick and straightforward. Start by placing the monitor on a stable desk surface or mounting it to a compatible stand or arm. Attach the power cable to the monitor and plug it into a reliable power source. Connect your computer or console using either the HDMI or DisplayPort cable—HDMI is ideal for most consoles and laptops, while DisplayPort provides the best performance for PC gaming at high refresh rates. If you plan to use multiple displays, ensure the primary video source is connected to the DisplayPort or HDMI port recommended by your GPU configuration. Once connected, power on the monitor and your device, then use the monitor’s on-screen display (OSD) menu to select the correct input source.
In the OSD, adjust picture settings to taste or choose pre-set modes designed for gaming, cinema, or reading. Enable Eye Care features to minimize eye strain during extended sessions, and set brightness and contrast to a comfortable level for your environment. If your graphics card supports FreeSync, ensure FreeSync is enabled in both the monitor’s OSD and your GPU control panel. Finally, take a moment to position the monitor for ergonomic comfort—tilt and position it so that your eyes align with the top third of the screen, reducing neck strain during long gaming or work sessions. Regularly updating your GPU drivers ensures you get the best possible frame pacing and freeSync performance from this high-refresh monitor.
