I bought this monitor months ago, and returned it. It took a whole month to get my money back! First defect: The freesync never worked. I turned on freesync in the Radeon settings and in the monitor settings. I still saw two horizontal tears simultaneously!!! This happened in every game. Second defect: While moving about in a game, a grid could be seen. This was actually the worst defect. This happened in every game. The third issue is not a defect, it is inherent to all 27" 1080p monitors. You will be able to see the pixels easily in any 27" monitor at 1080p. Larger screens need higher resolutions to look good. I read other negative reviews after buying the monitor, my mistake. Viewsonic used to be a reputable brand, about 20 years ago! I used to have a Viewsonic CRT. Every company changes after 20 years. This one for the worse. Im still using my old monitor, which is fine for now. It doesnt have freesync, but I didnt pay for that. When I get around to picking a new monitor, it will be one that is praised on some discussion forum. I recommend you do the same.
