Reviewer score 60%The Razer Raptor 27 is the company's first dip into the seething waters of the gaming display market. Its bright 27-inch, 2,560x1,440-pixel panel is quite good, and its feature set hits most of the right notes. It tilts 90 degrees so you can get to the connectors underneath, which is a big convenience.

Pros
- G-Sync and G-Sync compatible adaptive refresh
- Stunningly stylized design
Cons
- Cables don't glide easily through channels
- Rubbery material leaves marks on surfaces
digitaltrends[2]
Reviewer score 86%Razer's Raptor 27 is a 27-inch IPS display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a one-millisecond response time. The frame, base, and stand are all made of machined aluminum, finished in a matte black to match Razer laptops. Chroma makes its presence known, though Razer hasn't glued LED strips to every possible surface.

Pros
- HDR400, FreeSync 2, and 144Hz refresh rate
- Solid build quality
Cons
- No VESA mounting
- No G-Sync
digitaltrends[3]
Reviewer score 77%Razer offers just one version of the Raptor 27, and though it's good, it's also expensive. The screen offers a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution, which is another good choice. The Raptor also features G-Sync, which ensures that you don't experience screen tearing or artifacts. Despite its surprisingly wide color space (100% sRGB and 91% AdobeRGB) and solid contrast, the Razer hasn't been calibrated for color precision.

Pros
- 144Hz refresh rate and G-Sync
- Excellent image quality
- Solid contrast ratio
Cons
- No USB-C port

Reviewer score 88%The Razer Raptor 27 boasts a 27-inch, 2560 x 1400-resolution display with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The IPS panel supports HDR400, which means it has a wide color gamut and a high maximum brightness. The large panel meant I could split the screen in half and work on multiple windows simultaneously.

Pros
- Sleek design

Cons

Reviewer score 90%The Razer Raptor 27 is the company's first gaming monitor. It has a 144Hz refresh rate and supports both AMD's FreeSync and Nvidia's G-Sync adaptive-sync technologies. It also has a near-record-low input-lag time of just 1.7ms. At $699, it's the top end of what you should spend on a 27-inch display.

Pros
- Gorgeous 144Hz display
- Excellent color accuracy
- Good contrast ratio
Cons
- No dedicated G-Sync support

Reviewer score 79%The Razer Raptor 27 is a great gaming monitor with an impressive design, but slightly worse motion handling than most similar models. The LG 27GL850-B has a much faster response time, resulting in much clearer motion with almost no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. The Razer has a significantly better build quality and supports HDR. The ASUS has a slightly higher contrast ratio, better black uniformity, and significantly better reflection handling.

Pros
- Fast response time
- High refresh rate
- Excellent contrast ratio
- RGB lighting feature
Cons
- No FreeSync support
- No adjustable stand
rtings[7]
Reviewer score 63%The Razer Raptor 27 has an incredibly low input lag and excellent response time. It has a native refresh rate of 144Hz and supports FreeSync VRR technology, reducing tearing in games. Unfortunately, the contrast ratio is mediocre and it has poor out-of-box color accuracy, but it displays a wide color gamut for HDR content.

Pros
- Outstanding low input lag
- Wide viewing angles

Cons

Reviewer score 81%The Razer Raptor 27 has a lovely screen, smart design and excellent gaming performance. This 27-inch 1440p display blows past one of its primary competitors, the Dell 24 Monitor. But the interface is a bit of a pain to navigate, and you can't fine-tune the LED's Chroma options.

Pros
- Gorgeous 1440p display
- Excellent gaming performance
- Solid build quality
Cons
- Lackluster LED strip
- No HDMI or DisplayPort support
tomshardware[9]
Reviewer score 79%The Raptor 27's image is reasonably accurate out of the box, but it benefits from calibration. Tweakers will want to make use of the three gamma presets and single-point white balance controls. The only caveat is that DCI-P3 is the one and only available color gamut.

Pros
- Super-fast response times
- Excellent contrast
- HDR color
Cons
- No true sRGB mode
- No HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.4 ports
