ASRock PG27FFT1A: What Real Users Say About 180Hz on a Budget

Spend the extra $30 for 1440. 1080 on a 27" is hot garbage.

27 inch 1080p is rough. Text looks like shit.

If 1080p is all you've known, it's fine. Otherwise, it's fuzzy. Just as it's true if you've used 120hz+, a 60hz feels choppy.

Apart from having subpar pixel density (I won't blame anyone who prefers it) this has only 250nits so definitely bit of an ouch. Still cheaper than a lot of 1080p 60/75Hz panels though, so...

Tiktok shop discount for an additional -$25 off. Sold by newegg of course.

Get minimum 120hz

Sitting at any reasonable distance text is very noticeably blurry and pixelated unless you absolutely crank the scaling to 200% or more. And that's at 27in, I can't even imagine it at 32in.

at least 144hz, 165hz, OR 180hz. 100Hz monitor is a scam.

27" is bigger than most people like for a 1080p monitor, but having used a 27" 1080p for a while, a 21-24" looks better, but it's not terrible, especially if you have it a little further away than the usual arm's length.

i don't like that pixel density but my god that is tempting

I'd bet anything they don't actually make the monitor, just a rebrand.

If you're on an extreme budget or need 1080p the one in this post is very cheap.

A majority of people sit 2 feet away from their desktop monitors. It really depends on what you're used to. It's hard to go back a resolution if you've upgraded, but if you usually use 1080 you probably wouldn't care.

They still make good mobos. The taichi lite are arguably the best value if you're looking for a high end ($300+) mobo, as it's basically a $500 mobo without some of the aesthetics. Plenty of good not $300+ options too

1080p 27" looks terrible, so fuzzy

Get 24', 27' are expensive and they have less pixels per inch, mine IPS 180hz was 95€

I'd personally go for something better than 1080p it's hard to read on those monitors.

This asrock monitor review is odd. No non-stock pictures of the item, no personal testing of Asrock's claims, and just looks AI written with giant rehashed paragraphs explaining the specs already on the product page.

I specifically want to use this as a 2nd screen in a dark room, and am wondering how it would handle having its brightness turned waaaaay down. My current second screen seems far too bright no matter what I do, and turning the brightness and contrast just make it look messed up as well as still too bright.

Had mine for about a year now, no issues so far. I do feel the colour and settings could be better, but for the price it's pretty good

i would say the acer 120 then lg then lenovo. also look at used market ips monitors last for a long time you might find a good deal

The first one has the version MP275Q that is also cheap

I have one of these, solid monitor, especially for the price.

I ordered 3 of these about a year and a half ago and they all died.

I've been using a similar model for years and it's fine.

Full HD at 27 inches means low PPI. 27 inches is 1440p territory.

27 inch and fhd 1080p does not really look great together at least up it to 1440p but that's not available around 10k so you should rather go for 24 inch or increase your budget a bit and go for 1440p your eyes will thank yourself forever!

Fullhd 27"... Do you know what pixel density is? I'll just say that the higher it is, the more pleasant it is to look at the monitor

1080p suggestion: asrock pg27fft1a (suitable for most people)

This monitor is a real one. I'm actually just typing this comment on it.

Nice, thanks for the review. Gonna use it in my no nonsense $2000 4080S build

Nice but the market could use more gaming monitors without the gamer aesthetics.

The 1080p you mentioned would it be good for a 9060xt 16gb?

The $199 27/1440p/144hz+ IPS panel deal is SO CLOSE I can smell it.

I would get a 1440p monitor because you can handle it, but again, if you're satisfied with the 1080p, I would just tell you to search for a 27-inch.

If you're going for the Radeon 9070xt then don't do 1920x1080 monitor.

There are a lot of options. But built in speakers usually shit anyway. It's better to get a regular monitor and separate speakers.

Classic ASRock junk. Thanks for sharing. I was considering it even tho it was ASRock, but your comment just reinforced my position

Looks pretty budget to me [referring to the ASRock PG27FFT1A on Newegg]

It's kind of scary that AsRock makes monitors. They need to return to focusing on boards. They used to make damn good boards.

No display port connection on any of them. Again it's 2025 that should be what you're using not HDMI. No Nvidia g-sync on any of them.

I use 32" 1080p and it looks ok enough. I do sit 4 feet away though. I don't get the hate at 27" though because it really looks fine unless you're sitting like less than 2 feet away from your screen.
