ASRock has introduced a new 27-inch 1080p high refresh rate monitor: ASRock PG27FFT1B. This is relatively large and promises a fast display of shooters, for example, and thus advantages when playing multiplayer titles.

The manufacturer ASRock also offers a relatively wide range of products for video gamers and has now introduced the PG27FFT1B 1080p 27-inch monitor for gaming. It is a full HD gaming monitor, so the display is sharp due to the 27-inch diagonal screen. However, such a low resolution can also be advantageous for video games in a certain way, as displaying in native resolution does not require such a high computing capacity, and higher frame rates are easier to achieve.
According to the manufacturer, the PG27FFT1B supports a refresh rate of one millisecond, although this information applies to the MPRT and not the gray-to-gray response time. The refresh rate is specified as 180 Hz. Additionally, AMD FreeSync synchronizes the image output of the graphics card with the image display of the monitor. However, the IPS panel does not typically offer exceptionally high brightness or contrast ratio. The typical brightness is 450 cd/m², while the typical contrast ratio is 1,000:1. Despite this, it is sufficient to earn a VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
The sRGB color space is reproduced at 123 percent and the DCI-P3 color space at 94 percent. The ASRock PG27FFT1B can only be tilted. The equipment of the 27-inch 1080p monitor is not particularly extensive. There are two HDMI 2.0 connections, a DisplayPort 1.2, the obligatory headphone output, and two speakers with an output of two watts each. Buyers will look for a USB or a KVM switch in vain.
