Monitor ASRock 27" / 180Hz / QHD / VA

ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27QRT1B 27-inch Curved Gaming Monitor

The ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27QRT1B is a 27-inch curved gaming monitor designed to combine detailed QHD visuals with a fast 180Hz refresh rate. Its VA panel features a 2560 × 1440 resolution and a 1500R curvature, creating an immersive viewing experience while maintaining a practical 16:9 format. With a 1ms MPRT response time and AMD FreeSync support, the monitor is designed for smooth and responsive gameplay across a wide range of frame rates. The display also offers a high 5000:1 typical contrast ratio, 300 cd/m² brightness and 1.07 billion display colours. Combined with 95% DCI-P3 and 132% sRGB colour coverage, the PG27QRT1B provides a strong balance of gaming performance, image quality and everyday usability.

27-inch QHD 1500R Curved VA Display

The PG27QRT1B features a 27-inch VA panel with a native QHD resolution of 2560 × 1440. Compared with Full HD, the higher resolution provides additional screen detail and workspace, making it suitable for modern games, multimedia and desktop applications. The display uses a 1500R curved design that follows the natural field of view more closely and gives the screen a more immersive appearance. The active viewing area measures approximately 597 × 336mm, with a 0.2331mm pixel pitch and 16:9 aspect ratio. Its anti-glare surface helps reduce reflections from surrounding light sources, while the VA panel provides a specified 5000:1 typical contrast ratio. The display also offers 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles for consistent visibility from different positions.

180Hz Refresh Rate and 1ms Response

The monitor is built around a 180Hz maximum refresh rate, providing smoother motion and more responsive visual feedback than conventional 60Hz displays. This high refresh rate is particularly useful in fast-paced games, where rapid camera movements and changing scenes benefit from increased temporal smoothness. ASRock specifies a 1ms MPRT response time, helping the display react quickly to changes in the image and reducing the appearance of motion blur during fast movement. Through DisplayPort 1.4, the monitor supports a vertical signal frequency of up to 180Hz, while HDMI 2.0 supports up to 144Hz at the native resolution. The combination of QHD resolution, high refresh rate and fast response makes the PG27QRT1B suitable for users who want detailed visuals without sacrificing responsive gaming performance.

AMD FreeSync and Gaming Features

The PG27QRT1B supports AMD FreeSync technology, allowing compatible graphics hardware to coordinate the monitor's refresh behaviour with the frame rate being produced by the GPU. This can help reduce visible screen tearing and stuttering when frame rates fluctuate during gameplay. The monitor supports a vertical frequency range of 48–180Hz through DisplayPort and 48–144Hz through HDMI, providing flexibility depending on the connection being used. ASRock also includes Flicker-Free technology and its Low Blue Light technology, designed to make extended viewing more comfortable. These features complement the high-refresh gaming specifications, providing a display that can be used for long gaming sessions while also remaining suitable for general desktop work, browsing and multimedia consumption.

Wide Colour Coverage and HDR10

The VA panel provides broad colour coverage with a specified 95% DCI-P3 and 132% sRGB colour space, giving games, videos and other supported content a wider range of displayed colours. The monitor supports up to 1.07 billion colours using an 8-bit + FRC configuration, while its 300 cd/m² typical brightness provides a practical level of illumination for everyday use. The PG27QRT1B also supports HDR10, allowing compatible content to make use of the monitor's HDR capabilities. The 5000:1 typical contrast ratio is particularly suited to the VA panel design, providing strong differentiation between darker and brighter areas of an image. Combined with the QHD resolution and curved 1500R format, these specifications make the monitor suitable for gaming, films, streaming and general multimedia use.

HDMI, DisplayPort and Flexible Mounting

The monitor provides two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 connection and a 3.5mm headphone output, allowing it to connect to gaming PCs and other compatible devices. Integrated 2W × 2 speakers provide basic audio without requiring a separate speaker system. The stand supports tilt adjustment from -5° to +23°, allowing the viewing angle to be adapted to different seating positions and desk configurations. For alternative mounting arrangements, the monitor supports a standard 100 × 100mm VESA mount. With the stand attached, the PG27QRT1B measures approximately 610 × 452 × 225mm and weighs 4.59kg. Without the stand, it measures 610 × 367 × 93mm. The package includes HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4 and power cables.
