Fast-paced shooters, battle royales, and racing titles respond with precision, so you can track targets and react instantly as scenes unfold in real time.
- Adaptive sync for seamless visuals: AMD FreeSync Premium technology works with compatible GPUs to synchronize frame output with the monitor’s refresh rate, dramatically reducing screen tearing and stutter even during sudden frame-rate drops, so you stay in the moment rather than chasing artifacts.
- Immersive frameless design: The nearly edge-to-edge bezels deliver a true multi-monitor feel and minimize visual disruption when you game across adjacent panels. This design choice enhances immersion for wide panorama scenes and co-op campaigns, making it a strong centerpiece in any gaming rig.
- Eye comfort for long sessions: Built with eye-care features, including flicker-free operation and blue-light reduction, the VX2718-P-MHD helps reduce eye strain during extended gaming or binge-watching sessions, letting you play longer without fatigue.

How to install ViewSonic VX2718-P-MHD
Before you begin, position the monitor on a sturdy desk with enough space for cables and airflow. Remove the packaging and keep the base and stand components handy, along with your HDMI and/or DisplayPort cables and power source. This quick setup focuses on reliability, ease of use, and immediate improvement in your gaming environment.
1) Connect the monitor to your computer or console using HDMI or DisplayPort. For the best balance of bandwidth and performance, DisplayPort is preferred when your system supports it, as it can deliver higher data transfer rates that complement the 180Hz refresh capability.
2) Attach the power cable and turn on the monitor. Access the on-screen display (OSD) menu to adjust basic settings such as brightness, contrast, and color temperature. Consider selecting a picture mode tailored for gaming, then fine-tune gamma and color balance to your preference for vibrant, accurate visuals.
3) Enable AMD FreeSync Premium in your graphics card software if required, and ensure the monitor is set to its native refresh rate of 180 Hz in your operating system’s display settings. If you use a multi-monitor setup, align the bezel gaps and arrange monitors in your display settings to create a seamless panoramic view.
4) Calibrate the display for your environment. You can tweak game-specific color profiles, enable the blue light filter for late-night sessions, and adjust sharpness to reduce perceived blur without sacrificing detail. Save these adjustments as a dedicated gaming profile for quick access during play.
5) Test with a variety of content—from fast-action gameplay to cinematic trailers—to verify that motion remains smooth and that color rendering is consistent across different scenes. If you notice color shifts or drift, revisit the OSD to re-balance brightness and color temperature. Remember to keep firmware and GPU drivers up to date to maximize compatibility and performance.
