Know before you buy
The 1500R curve is designed to wrap the screen around your field of vision. This helps maintain a consistent distance between your eyes and the edges of the display, which can reduce eye strain and increase immersion during long gaming sessions.
Yes, while this monitor features AMD FreeSync Premium, it is compatible with NVIDIA graphics cards. You can typically enable G-Sync Compatible mode through the NVIDIA Control Panel to reduce screen tearing, though performance may vary compared to a native G-Sync display.
To achieve the full 180Hz refresh rate, it is recommended to use the DisplayPort connection. While HDMI is available for versatile connectivity, older HDMI versions may be limited to lower refresh rates depending on your specific hardware configuration.
The 1ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) is highly effective at reducing motion blur in fast-paced games. It provides a crisp visual experience, though it is primarily designed for gaming rather than professional color-critical photo or video editing.
Yes, the VX2718-PC-MHD is VESA mount compatible. You can easily attach it to a standard wall mount or an adjustable desk arm if you prefer to save desk space or need more ergonomic positioning.
ViewMode presets are pre-calibrated settings that adjust gamma, color temperature, and contrast to suit different tasks. You can quickly switch between modes like 'Game,' 'Movie,' 'Web,' or 'Text' to get the best visual performance for whatever you are currently doing.
