Know before you buy
Yes, to achieve the full 360Hz refresh rate at QHD resolution, you must use the included DisplayPort 1.4 cable with Display Stream Compression (DSC) enabled. The HDMI 2.0 ports on this monitor do not support the full 360Hz bandwidth.
The built-in Reflex Analyzer allows you to measure system latency in real-time. By connecting your mouse to the monitor's dedicated USB port, you can track the exact time it takes for your click to register as an action on the screen, helping you optimize your PC settings for competitive play.
While this monitor is built for esports, it features an Ultrafast IPS panel with 98% DCI-P3 color coverage and VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification. This makes it quite capable for color-accurate work, though it is primarily optimized for high-speed gaming performance.
No, the PG27AQN does not have integrated speakers. You will need to connect a headset or external speakers to your PC or the monitor's audio output jack.
Yes, the monitor is compatible with standard 100x100mm VESA mounts. You can easily remove the included ergonomic stand to attach it to a monitor arm or wall bracket.
The esports dual-mode allows you to toggle the display to a 25-inch diagonal size at 1080p resolution. This is a popular setting for professional players who prefer a smaller screen area to keep their focus centered during intense competitive matches.
