A new 27-inch 170Hz 1440p gaming monitor, the Cooler Master GM27-CQS, is now available on Amazon UK with a discount offer. This monitor boasts a 170Hz refresh rate and a WQHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. It uses a VA panel with a 4000:1 contrast ratio, which should produce solid black values, making it suitable for dark and atmospheric games.
The DisplayHDR 400-certified monitor also offers a brightness of 350 cd/m², 8-bit color depth, 1500 R curvature, 120 percent sRGB, and 90 percent DCI-P3.
The GM27-CQS comes equipped with 2-watt dual internal speakers and features tearing-free gaming sessions with FreeSync Premium and G-Sync-compatible Adaptive Sync features. Additionally, the monitor has a black stabilizer, an fps display, and crosshair overlays.
One unique feature of this monitor is Dynamic Overdrive, which adjusts the overdrive to the respective frame rate, reducing ghosting and overshoot. It also has two HDMI 2.0 inputs, a DisplayPort, and a headphone output for connectivity.
The Cooler Master GM27-CQS also offers ergonomic features such as tilt, rotation, height adjustment, VESA mount (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and a flicker-free backlight.
