Review on ViewSonic VX3218-PC-MHD Monitor: Frameless, Curved, 165Hz, Adaptive Sync, Flicker-Free & Blue Light Filter with HDMI Connectivity by Jeff Addison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good budget monitor for high refresh rate gaming

Sure, it's small and only 1080p, but the 144Hz refresh rate makes gaming smooth and buttery smooth. I've had this monitor for 1 year and 8 months now and it's still working with no dead pixels, no ghosting and no artifacts. I recently got a new RTX GPU and enabled FreeSync on the monitor and also enabled G-Sync on the graphics card and it works amazingly well (I had to switch to Displayport of course). I highly recommend this monitor if you just want a high refresh rate but basic gaming monitor. Now that I have a new GPU I'm looking at newer 4K displays, but for cheaper games this display is fine. I will definitely keep it as a second display. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the viewing angle is a bit poor, and there isn't much room to adjust the height or angle either (it flexes a bit in angle, but not much). Overall I'm very happy with this display for how much I spent on it.

Pros
  • IMMERSIVE MONITOR: 1 ms response time (MPRT) and 165 Hz refresh rate (with DisplayPort) deliver professional gaming.
Cons
  • Bad contrast
