Product Overview
Cooler Master GM27-CF is a mainstream 27-inch FHD 1500R-curved gaming monitor in Cooler Master's 2020 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel that reaches 165 Hz refresh rate.
Its 1500R curvature provides a more immersive visual experience. In terms of color reproduction, one can expect above average performance. The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty.

Reviewer score 80%Calibration controls are included, along with gaming features like aim points and FreeSync. There is no blur-reduction, and overclocking must be done in Windows Control Panel. With adjustments, the picture was very good with deep blacks and highlights that pop. The extra-wide color gamut added a nice visual pop.
