The concept of a "multimedia" monitor can be very, very vague. For some people, this is a simple 24-inch screen with adequate technical characteristics and a large stock of factory profiles. For others, it is a universal display, behind which you can surf the web, watch YouTube, and then drive a couple of skating rinks with friends in Apex Legends. Well, the third category of users, when they hear the word "multimedia", an image of a massive 32-inch "almost TV" with a remote control, like a TV, appears in their head.


According to Viewsonic, the truth lies somewhere in the middle, and a really good multimedia monitor is always ready to entertain the user. And it doesn't matter whether it's watching a new series of Rick and Morty or going through a story campaign in Red Dead Redemption 2. Therefore, the VX series monitors try to sit on several chairs at once, offering the user a large diagonal, good colour reproduction, and support for HDR with high exposure and FreeSync. A kind of jack of all trades.

The whole essence of the VX line is best revealed by its main bestseller ― the 27-inch Viewsonic VX2718-PC-MHD monitor. This is a universal multimedia model with a curved screen, which is based on a fast and clear VA-matrix with Full HD resolution. Extremely clear and smooth display of fast movement will delight fans of computer games, and the full coverage of the sRGB colour space allows you to consider this monitor as a simple tool for working with vector graphics, 3D animation and photography. However, in none of them will he really shine. The flip side of versatility.
