ASRock PG27Q15R2A 2K Curved Gaming monitor with 165 Hz and 1 ms

Pegatron subsidiary ASRock has unveiled another best budget 27 inch 2K monitor. The PG27Q15R2A relies on a 27-inch VA panel with WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels), a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz, 1500R curve, and DisplayHDR 400 certification.

In addition, the new 165 Hz 27 inch monitor has a 4000:1 contrast ratio, 8-bit color depth, 550 cd/m² typical brightness, 110 percent sRGB, and 87 percent DCI-P3. Two internal 2-watt speakers can be used as sound generators if desired.

The best budget 27 inch 2K monitor from ASRock also comes with a 7dBi WiFi antenna that can be wired to a PC and improve signal strength. FreeSync Premium is here for tear-free gaming fun. The typical power consumption of the 27 inches is estimated at 45 watts, which can probably be significantly undercut in practice.

The new ASRock PG27Q15R2A does not have USB ports, but two HDMI 2.0 inputs (WQHD at max. 144 Hz ), a DisplayPort 1.4 (WQHD at max. 165 Hz), and a headphone output. Comprehensive ergonomic functions are offered with tilt, rotation, height adjustment, VESA mount (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-free backlighting.

The ASRock PG27Q15R2A weighs 4.65 kg and has dimensions of 610.34 x 367.34 x 93.22 mm (W x H x D) without the stand.
