Razer Raptor 27-inch Gaming Monitor now Available to Buy

Razer has finally announced the availability of its Raptor gaming monitor. The 27-inch 144 Hz Razer Raptor monitor for gaming comes onto the market with some delay. The extravagant G-Sync and Freesync Razer monitor was announced at CES 2019.

Some Razor fans expected by the end of last year that gaming hardware experts would release their “Raptor” monitor after all. Too bad for fans, the Razor Raptor in the extraordinary RGB look was still taking a long time. The gaming screen has a WQHD IPS display (non-glare) optimized for eSports with a fast refresh rate of up to 144 Hz, HDR support, built-in cable management, and Razer Chroma. 

Additionally, the Raptor has a very narrow frame with only 2.3 millimeters. The Razer WQHD monitor can be folded up 90 degrees for easy plugging and unplugging of the cable connections. It supports HDR with 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, standard sRGB, 144Hz refresh rate, and the Ultra Low Motion Blur technology enhances the sharpness of each individual frame.
