About this product
The ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27FRS1A is a 27-inch gaming monitor with a VA panel, FHD resolution (1920x1080), and an extremely high 280 Hz refresh rate. It supports FreeSync Premium for tear-free gaming and has a 1ms MPRT response time. The monitor offers a high contrast ratio typical of VA panels. Connectivity includes HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2. It features a gaming-oriented design with slim bezels and a stand with tilt adjustment.
Our take
If you're all about smoothness in competitive gaming, the PG27FRS1A delivers with its 280 Hz refresh rate. The VA panel provides decent contrast, though colors aren't as vibrant as IPS. At 1080p on a 27-inch screen, pixel density is lower, so text isn't as sharp. The 280 Hz refresh rate is overkill for most, but if you have a powerful GPU, it's incredibly fluid. The stand is functional but limited. Overall, it's a niche monitor for esports enthusiasts who prioritize speed over resolution.
