Surely, for gamers, there is no need to introduce ViewSonic – the American electronics company with many years of experience in producing display devices and computer monitors. In the current trend, when gamers always need a large screen with high resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate for smooth FPS gaming, along with FreeSync™ technology… all of these are packed into the ViewSonic VX2705-2KP-mhd. This is the latest product that kicks off the smoky year of 2021.
We recently had the opportunity to experience the VX2705-2KP-mhd. The first impression is that this is a relatively high-quality monitor, with a price of just over 8 million VND, considered “affordable” in the same segment.
With current gaming needs, 27 inches has almost become a mandatory requirement for gamers. This is considered the standard size for the eyes to comfortably adjust without straining when gamers “battle” for long periods.
The ViewSonic VX2705-2KP-mhd monitor, with a high QHD resolution, and a SuperClear® IPS panel, is designed for users to focus on work, especially for home entertainment gaming…
In terms of appearance, the VX2705-2KP-mhd is quite… classic. The screen bezel is relatively thick, and the physical control buttons are arranged underneath. The V-shaped base is fixed and does not adjust in height or tilt. Therefore, this is probably a monitor that meets the criteria of “better performance than appearance.”
Moving into actual usage. With a 2K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, along with an IPS panel with a 1ms response time, it provides you with a very wide viewing angle, beautiful colors, and high contrast. Playing MOBA or FPS titles on this monitor can be described as “very satisfying.” The mouse tracking, image processing, frame switching, and synchronization handling are very good when tested at high settings on high-end PC configurations.
Another plus for the VX2705-2KP-mhd is its FreeSync technology: Synchronizing the refresh rate of the monitor with the frame rate of the graphics card, completely eliminating stuttering, freezing, and screen tearing due to the imbalance between frame rate and refresh rate. This gives you a smoother gaming experience or watching movies with emotional transitions.
One point I really appreciate about this device is that it is integrated with protective technology, filtering harmful blue light that causes eye strain. It can be seen that the manufacturer has made a significant investment by integrating many technologies into the product to help gamers ensure their eye health during long gaming sessions.
With proprietary ViewMode technology that allows customization or immediate activation of pre-installed color modes like gaming, web browsing, watching movies, or reading text… Depending on your usage needs.
The monitor is equipped with 02 HDMI ports, 01 DP port, and 01 line-out port for audio. It has built-in speakers, making it a sufficient product for those who do not have high demands on sound quality.
In summary, at a not-too-high price, what you get is quite a lot. Especially suitable for fast-paced combat games like Overwatch, League of Legends, Battlefield 5, Fortnite… giving you plenty of time to react to difficult combats and annoying effects in the game. However, if your needs are for strategy games like StarCraft 2 or DOTA 2, this is truly a significant upgrade for your gaming experience.
If you do not care too much about appearance, this is still a product worth trying for those with a moderate budget.
