ASRock has officially introduced its latest gaming monitor, the PG27QFW2A, aiming to provide an excellent balance between speed and visual quality. This new display features an impressive 400Hz refresh rate and a QHD IPS panel, setting a new standard for smooth and detailed gaming experiences.

Key Information

  • The ASRock PG27QFW2A model offers a 27-inch QHD IPS panel and a 400Hz refresh rate.
  • It is equipped with a 1ms GTG response time, 99% DCI-P3 color gamut, and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
  • The monitor includes an integrated Wi-Fi antenna stand to boost signal strength.
  • ASRock also introduced the larger 32-inch PG32QFT model, which offers a 180Hz refresh rate.

Unique Speed and Visual Clarity

The PG27QFW2A is designed for gamers who demand the highest refresh rates without compromising on image quality. Considering that many high refresh rate monitors use TN panels, ASRock has changed this by utilizing Fast IPS technology. This allows the monitor to achieve a smooth 400Hz refresh rate while providing accurate color reproduction and wide viewing angles, helping to maintain clear visuals during intense and fast-paced gaming.

Superior Color Performance and HDR Support

Color accuracy is a key feature of the PG27QFW2A. With a 99% DCI-P3 wide color gamut and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, the monitor offers a broader color spectrum and enhanced tonal details. This feature positions it as a strong alternative to OLED displays, delivering refresh rates and color performance at a more accessible price point. Additionally, AMD FreeSync Premium technology is integrated to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, providing a smooth and stable gaming experience.

Innovative Design and Connectivity Options

The monitor's design features a prominent, alien-inspired motif on the back that aligns with ASRock's Phantom Gaming series bold aesthetics. A notable feature is the custom PHANTOM GAMING Wi-Fi antenna integrated into the stand. This innovative design can boost Wi-Fi signal strength by up to 7dBi, enhancing wireless stability for a more reliable online gaming experience.

Functionality is further enhanced with practical tools such as ASRock’s Dark Boost, which increases visibility in dark scenes, Overdrive settings, multiple preset modes, and a target point guide. Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 FRL ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and one USB 3.2 Gen1 hub.

A Larger Alternative: PG32QFT

Together with the PG27QFW2A, ASRock introduced the PG32QFT model. This larger 32-inch QHD IPS gaming monitor offers a 180Hz refresh rate, providing a wider and more impressive viewing experience for users prioritizing screen size. Like its smaller sibling, the PG32QFT also features an integrated Wi-Fi antenna stand. However, it comes with two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4, and does not include a USB hub.

The pricing and availability of the PG27QFW2A and PG32QFT have not yet been officially confirmed and may vary by region.
