Monitor Asrock PG27QRT1B, 27", VA Curved 1500R, WQHD 2560x1440, 180Hz, 1ms, HDR400, AMD FreeSync Premium

Asrock PG27QRT1B is a 27-inch VA curved monitor aimed at gaming and general use, combining high refresh rate and WQHD resolution. With a resolution of 2560 x 1440, you get a much sharper image than standard 1080p, without the burden of 4K for the GPU. The 1500R curvature makes the screen more immersive for games and movies, especially at a desk one arm's length away. Add a 180 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time, and you get smooth motion and a good foundation for more serious competitive gaming.

What you get is a combination of speed and contrast, typical for a VA panel, but with a focus on gaming. The static contrast of 5000:1 means deeper blacks and more impactful dark scenes compared to a typical IPS, which is immediately noticeable in night maps, movies, and series. At 27" and 2560 x 1440, the pixel density is suitable for detailed images without visible “grid,” and the pixel size of 0.2331 x 0.2331 mm helps with readable text and finer details. The Anti-Glare coating and LED backlight with a brightness of 300 cd/m2 keep reflections under control in a normal room. With AMD FreeSync Premium, 180 Hz, and short response time, you can minimize tearing and stutter, as long as you use DisplayPort and a GPU that can deliver enough frames.

• 27" VA curved panel (1500R) for a more immersive gaming experience and more natural coverage of peripheral vision at the desk.
• WQHD 2560 x 1440 resolution for a more detailed image and more workspace compared to standard Full HD.
• 180 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time for smoother motion and less blur in fast scenes.
• Static contrast 5000:1 thanks to the VA matrix for deep black tones and better separation of shadows and highlights.
• AMD FreeSync Premium for synchronization between the GPU and the monitor, reducing tearing and stuttering with variable FPS.
• Anti-Glare coating and LED backlight with 300 cd/m2 brightness, suitable for everyday use in a typical home or office environment.
• 178°/178° viewing angles, so the image remains readable even when viewed at a slight angle.
• DisplayPort interface, through which you can use the high refresh rate and features like FreeSync Premium.

Who is this monitor suitable for? If you are looking for a balanced 27" gaming display for 1440p with high refresh rate, strong contrast, and a curved screen for greater immersion, this is a good starting point. It is also suitable for general use – work, YouTube, movies – but if your main focus is professional color processing, you might prefer a more specialized IPS model.

The combination of 180 Hz, 2560 x 1440, VA contrast, and curvature of 1500R makes Asrock PG27QRT1B a sensible choice if you want to transition to 1440p gaming with a tight, but not overly “fancy” configuration. You get exactly what you need for serious gaming and everyday use, without unnecessary extras.
