ASRock PG27FFX2A Review (1080p/520Hz IPS)

Rating: 8.0.

Today we are checking out the fastest monitor ever reviewed here at KitGuru – ASRock's PG27FFX2A, thanks to its 520Hz 1080p IPS panel. Squarely targeted at competitive gamers, it also supports adaptive sync, up to 400 nits peak brightness, and offers a claimed 1ms response time. But is a 27in screen size just too big for the FHD resolution? And does 520Hz even offer any benefits over cheaper 240 or 360Hz monitors? We find out today.

Clearly the PG277FX2A is all about the 520Hz refresh rate, eclipsing other 360Hz monitors we have reviewed in the past. It's not as expensive as you might have thought, too, priced at around £380 from NeoComputers, though it's more like £460 at Scan. Let's find out if it's worth the cash.
