The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD is a good 27", 1440p monitor with great peak brightness and wide viewing angles. It delivers a great gaming experience, with low input lag, excellent motion handling, and support for AMD's FreeSync variable refresh rate technology, but very few additional gaming features. Like most IPS monitors, it has a low contrast ratio, but the unit we tested has better black uniformity than most monitors we've tested so far. Unfortunately, the stand has a very limited range of motion, so it might be difficult to place in an ideal viewing position.

Test Results
The base of the stand has a small footprint, but supports the monitor well, with only a bit of wobble.
Unfortunately, the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP has a limited range of motion, so it might be difficult to place it in an ideal viewing position.
The back of the monitor is plain, and there's no cable management. The stand has a quick-release, and it can be VESA mounted, which is great.
Very thin borders on three sides, great for a multi-monitor setup.
The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has a decent overall build quality. The back panels have a nice textured finish, but the plastic feels cheap. The stand supports the monitor well, but there's a bit of wobble, which can be distracting.
Like most IPS monitors, the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has a low contrast ratio. This results in blacks that look gray, but this is mainly noticeable in a dark room. If you're looking for a 1440p monitor with a much better contrast ratio, then check out the AOC CQ27G1.
The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD doesn't have a local dimming feature. The video is provided for reference only.
Great peak brightness. The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD can easily overcome glare in almost any room.

Like most IPS monitors, the image remains accurate when viewed from the sides. This also helps to ensure an accurate image at the sides of the screen when you're sitting close to the screen.
Like most IPS monitors, the image remains accurate when viewed from above or below. This is great if you often share your screen with someone standing beside you, or if you're planning to mount the screen on the wall.
The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has outstanding gray uniformity. The sides of the screen are slightly darker than the rest, and there are a few darker areas on our model, but these aren't very noticeable with most content.
The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has decent overall black uniformity, and it's actually among the best we've seen on a monitor, with very little clouding in dark scenes.
Out of the box, this monitor has decent accuracy. Most scenes are displayed at the correct brightness levels, which is great, but there are some noticeable inaccuracies in all colors and shades of gray. This is good if you enjoy saturated colors, but isn't good if you rely on accurate colors.
After calibration, the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD has outstanding accuracy, with no noticeable inaccuracies in any colors or shades of gray.

This monitor has an excellent response time, resulting in very clear motion, with only a short blur trail behind fast-moving objects when the level of overdrive is set to 'Advanced'. The 'Ultra Fast' setting has a significantly shorter blur trail, but there's noticeable overshoot behind fast-moving objects and color fringing around moving objects, suggesting that different colors have different response times.
At lower backlight settings, there's flicker in the backlight, but it's at an extremely high frequency that isn't noticeable.
This monitor has an optional black frame insertion feature, known as '1ms mode'. Enabling this feature reduces the amount of persistence blur behind fast-moving objects, but also causes a noticeable tripling effect.
This monitor has an excellent refresh rate, and it supports AMD's FreeSync variable refresh rate technology, for a nearly tear-free gaming experience. Although not officially supported, it also works when connected to a recent NVIDIA G-SYNC graphics card over DisplayPort.
This monitor has outstanding low input lag, great for gaming. Even when gaming on a console limited to 60Hz, the input lag due to processing is extremely low.
The 27", 1440p screen is great for multitasking, and makes it easier to see more fine details in your favorite games.
Update 12/23/2019: The DisplayPort connection was incorrectly listed as 1.4. It is in fact a DisplayPort 1.2 port.
This monitor has very few additional features. There are no gaming-oriented features, and it doesn't support HDR.
The control scheme isn't as intuitive as the joystick controls found on most LG monitors and the Pixio PX7 Prime.
Differences Between Sizes and Variants
We tested the 27" ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD, model VS17882, which is part of ViewSonic's VX series of monitors. There are many other monitors in this lineup, but we don't expect our review to be valid for them.
If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their VX2758-2KP-MHD doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we'll update the review. Note that some tests such as the gray uniformity may vary between individual units.

Compared to other monitors
The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD is a good 27" monitor with great gaming performance, but with very few additional features. See our recommendations for the best 27" monitors, the best 27" gaming monitors, and the best office and business monitors.
The LG 27GL850-B is better than the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD. The LG has much better ergonomics, motion handling, and color accuracy, but the ViewSonic has a much better contrast ratio and black uniformity. The LG supports HDR and has a much better gradient performance, but doesn't have a black frame insertion feature like the ViewSonic.
The LG 27GL83A-B is better than the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD. The LG has a much better stand, with a decent height adjustment range and the ability to rotate to portrait orientation. The LG supports HDR, although this doesn't add much. The ViewSonic, on the other hand, has an optional black frame insertion feature for clearer motion, and the unit we tested has better black uniformity.
The ASUS TUF VG27AQ is much better than the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD. The ASUS has significantly better build quality and ergonomics, and it supports HDR. Additionally, the ASUS has a better contrast ratio and its refresh rate can be factory overclocked to 165Hz. However, the ViewSonic has much better reflection handling and significantly better black uniformity.
The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD is better than the Dell S2719DGF. The ViewSonic's IPS panel has much wider viewing angles, a higher contrast ratio, and significantly better black uniformity. However, the Dell is more adjustable due to its excellent ergonomics, its build quality is much better, and it has a slightly higher refresh rate.
The Acer Nitro VG271 and the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD are very similar overall. The ViewSonic has a higher native resolution, making it a better choice for multitasking or gaming, and the unit we tested has better black uniformity. The Acer VG271, on the other hand, supports HDR, although this doesn't add much, and the stand has a slightly better tilt range.
The Pixio PX7 Prime is better than the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD. The PX7 Prime has much better ergonomics, with a fully-adjustable stand, and it supports HDR, although this doesn't add much. On the other hand, the ViewSonic we tested has much better black uniformity and an optional black frame insertion feature.
The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD is better than the Samsung Space SR75, unless you're planning on using your monitor in a dark room. The ViewSonic's IPS panel has much better viewing angles, and the unit we tested has better black uniformity. The ViewSonic also has an optional black frame insertion feature, which some people like for gaming. On the other hand, the Samsung has much better ergonomics, with a unique stand that has an impressive range of motion, and the VA panel delivers much deeper blacks, which is especially noticeable in a dark room.
The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD is a bit better monitor than the AOC CQ27G1, but their differences mainly come down to different panels. The ViewSonic has an IPS panel, so the viewing angles are better. It can also get brighter, the response time is quicker, and it covers more of the sRGB color space used in most content. The AOC has a VA panel, so it's better suited for dark rooms thanks to its great contrast ratio, and its colors are more accurate out of the box.
The ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD is much better than the Dell U2717D. The ViewSonic has significantly better motion handling, black uniformity, and viewing angles, but the Dell's build quality and ergonomics are much better. The ViewSonic has a higher refresh rate of 144Hz, supports FreeSync, and has a much lower input lag than the Dell.
