27in WQHD 2560x1440 IPS Gaming Monitor - 100Hz, 1ms VRB

Our review of this 27in WQHD monitor finds it best for gamers and home office users who want sharper detail than 1080p without stepping up to 4K. The single biggest reason to buy is its blend of a 2560 x 1440 IPS panel with a 100Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync, which delivers smoother motion and clearer visuals in fast games while remaining comfortable for long work sessions thanks to flicker-less and low blue light features.

Key Features

• 27in WQHD IPS: The 2560 x 1440 panel offers noticeably more desktop space and crisper images than 1080p, useful for gaming and productivity.
• 100Hz refresh with 1ms VRB: Higher refresh and motion blur reduction make fast-moving scenes feel smoother for competitive play.
• AMD FreeSync technology: Adaptive sync reduces screen tearing by matching the monitor frame timing to the graphics card.
• Ergonomic tilt and VESA mount: Tilt from -5 to 15 degrees and 75 x 75mm VESA support let users set comfortable viewing angles or add a monitor arm.
• Multiple inputs: One DisplayPort 1.2, two HDMI 2.0 ports and an audio out make it easy to connect a PC, console and peripherals.
• Space-saving zero-frame design: The slim bezel design makes placing multiple monitors side-by-side for a near-seamless multi-monitor setup easier.

Who It's For

This monitor suits gamers who want higher-than-1080p clarity without the GPU demands of 4K; its 100Hz and 1ms VRB help competitive and fast-paced titles feel responsive. It also works well for home office users who need more screen real estate for multiple windows and accurate on-screen detail during long sessions.

Photographers or color-critical professionals seeking factory-calibrated reference color or extreme brightness should look elsewhere, since the panel is tuned for general picture quality and gaming rather than studio-grade color accuracy or very high peak brightness.
