  • Good reflection handling and great peak brightness

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from tomshardware have found:
The Razer Raptor 27 has very accurate color and gamma, but its default grayscale tracking is slightly warm in tone. The wide color gamut made everything we played look better, SDR and HDR alike. Contrast is typical for an IPS monitor, with bright whites and decent (if not super-deep) blacks.
Pros
  • Wide color gamut
  • Excellent build quality
  • Excellent gaming performance
Cons
  • Expensive for a 27-inch QHD monitor
