ASRock Phantom Gaming Monitor 27″ 180 Hz IPS QHD FreeSync (AMD Adaptive Sync) 99% sRGB / 90% DCI-P3 PG27QFT1B

Pros: 180hz is so nice and the 1440p is awesome. Cons: The only problem I have is that theres was one dead pixel in the middle of it Overall Review: Overall pretty good for the price!

Pros: – Packaging: Clear instructions on how to unbox, right on the box,
– Two HD cables and a power cable are included that aren’t junk,
– Stand is easy to assymble, tight tolerances, two screws with screwdriver included,
– Built-in speakers are LOUD, but lack bass as is typical with PC monitors,
– Pretty standard OSD controls; Five main Menu sections:
Luminance: DCR on/off, MPRT on/off, Six Luminance Preset Modes for contrast & brightness,
Three pre-configured Color/RGB settingsm with a User setting for Color/RGB fine tuning,
A Low Blue Light adjustment (0 – 10), 0 being full blue, 10 being blue removed,
– Detected FreeSync once the latest graphics driver was installed (AMD),
– IMO, colors are clear and bright, with a wide range of adjustment,
– 180 Hz with Diplay Port, 144 Hz with HDMI, with applicaple grahics (Windows 10),
– Quality for the price is exceptional and mine has NO dead pixels. Cons: – Quality Control might be an issue with some; mine came with the top bezel not fully snapped into the back shell. I didn’t notice this right away, only after using it for almost a week as I went around behind to plug in another cable. Snapping it into place was no problem, but I did take a much closer look at every area afterwards. Overall Review: I’ve owned mine for over a month, and for south of a buck fifty, this seems like a good deal. There were ZERO reviews when I ordered & it arrived.
The two speakers, located at the bottom on either side of the stand neck, do stick out towards the rear. Some might have issues attaching the HDMI cable(s), as the ports are directly above the left speaker housing. The DP port is not an issue, as it is further out with little to no interference.
All cables seem quality. The stand base is square and wide, yet not thick (tall).
The OSD buttons are located on the lower right-rear of the unit, directly behind their respective symbol, with the power-on button much further away from the other four. The manual was helpful with understanding the Menu details. To adjust OSD settings, you’ll need to reach underneath and behind the lower bezel, which is the only thick one. Placing anything directly beneath the lower right corner will block access to the controls.
Coming from an 11-year-old Asus 24″ 1080p, 60Hz LCD, I’m impressed and hope to have many happy hours using mine.

Pros: The color depth and price are quite attractive. 180hz is a weird refresh rate, but accurate. Cons: Every single update causes issues. Nvidia driver update? Flickering screen that takes down all 3 of my monitors. System/windows update? Need to redo all settings every time. You THINK about changing orientation, all 3 of my screens go down until I power off this panel. I’ve never experienced issues with a panel, and certainly not to this extent. Overall Review: Would not reccomend the product I received. The stat page and when functioning i would. It just doesn’t function reliably.

Pros: For the price this monitor is unbeatable. It has everything you’d want at half the price of a comparable monitor. I bought two and neither have any flaws. Edit: One month later I can say that one of the monitors did exhibit a problem I’ve seen in another review where it wouldn’t resume from sleep, usually short sleeps but not always. It would power on with the signal and backlight would come on but the screen itself would never come on. Power cycling the monitor would resolve it but it became more frequent and I had to swap it out. Given another user had the same issue, maybe buyer beware (though 2 out of 3 did work). Cons: I didn’t deduct an egg for this but I hate that the input OSD is in the center and can’t be changed or disabled. On my Linux and Windows systems, this obscures the login input. Every monitor I’ve used flashes the input on the screen upon wake, I get that, but please, manufacturers, park this in a corner. What makes it even more annoying is that you can move the OSD for the menu and adjust the timeout but it doesn’t affect the input OSD. Overall Review: Again, for the price you aren’t going to beat this. You’re barely going to get a FHD monitor for this price. It works, looks fine (it’s not stylish by any means), and has features like a fully adjustable stand and 180Hz/Freesync that you can’t get for this money anywhere else. Removed from the great deal, it’s less appealing. I’d buy it again.
