The Sceptre 27-inch Curved C275B-FWT240 provides an exceptional 240 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response on a VA panel with 99% sRGB coverage, delivering ultra-smooth gameplay.

Targeted at competitive PC gamers who prioritize refresh speed and immersion.
The ViewSonic VX2718-PC-MHD is a 27-inch curved VA monitor offering 180 Hz refresh, 1 ms MPRT response and FreeSync Premium for fast gaming.

Professional reviewers praise the VX2718-PC-MHD for its high refresh rates and low response times, but note the low pixel density and limited color accuracy make it unsuitable for professional content creation.
Professional reviewers commend the Sceptre C275B-FWT240 for delivering a rare combination of a 240 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time, and near-full sRGB coverage at a very affordable price, making it a standout budget VA gaming monitor. They appreciate the immersive 1500R curve, flexible connectivity, and added conveniences like built-in speakers and blue-light filtering. However, they caution that the 1080p panel may look coarse on a 27-inch display and that console gamers cannot exploit the high refresh rate due to platform limitations, while the modest brightness could be a drawback in bright environments.
Everyday buyers praise the monitor's ultra-smooth 240 Hz performance, immersive curvature, and the convenience of built-in speakers and multiple HDMI ports. Common complaints revolve around the 1080p resolution appearing low on a large screen, limited ergonomic adjustments, and insufficient brightness for very bright rooms, especially when used outside of a dim gaming setup.
