Is that expensive? i still do not have a wide choice of 1440p 27inch, 144hz free sync monitors.
If it would be pivotable..

That Errrgeebee adds $300 to the price for sure ^.^

Unless you need the colours, this is about 300% of the price I'd pay for this screen in gaming relation. Two friends of mine just this year bought 1440p, 144Hz, Freesync2 screens (Gsync ready) for ~250€...

And its probably 4ms gtg. Razer products remind me of some knockoff chinese brand you'd buy on alibaba but at double the price 😀
buhehe
Most likely not IPS
fantaskarsef
While true, 90% of people wouldn't notice, or bother to buy IPS.
Hence my comment, unless you need something specific, you'd have more than enough options for way cheaper.
Also, I don't buy Razer products. So this monitor would be out of discussion for me personally anyway.

IPS is overvalued.
Currently rolling a VA panel, and once tweaked well color-wise, IMO, it provides supreme picture thanks to deeper blacks.
Won't change my current screen up until Oled will be a proper thing.

damnit!!!

Bought VA myself back then, 2015, 144Hz, 1440p, Gsync, for more money though, but yeah... four years later, I'm not even remotely interested in this particular Razer monitor.
But with Oled... burn ins... not my thing.
cryohellinc
Price-wise they are insane but will get down eventually. Burn-in is a temporary problem, that I'm sure will be tackled with in the years to come.
Undying
I also bought VA panel and quite satisfied it. Who needs an IPS if your gaming on it?
OnnA
Pick this instead 😉 (~500€)
HDR-600, FreeSync 2 and also IPS 1440Hz.

I like Ryzer (i have Keyb. from them) but not at this price point...
buhehe
it's VA, not IPS

It has been tackled in the past.. With screen savers! Ah those glorious days of screen savers, maybe we will watch them again
fantaskarsef
Honestly... good point, didn't think about that. Too because screensavers haven't been running on my rig in a long, long time.
cryohellinc
I still use screen saver. Call me oldschool, but you never know.
Screensaver can help and fix the problem only partically. Oled is still an issue for commercial use - as an example.
OnnA
Yup, the HDR400 one is Samie IPS.
Strange....
+ for good find.

Says everyone who hasn't actually used an OLED screen.

It's very close to the price of when the first mainstream 1440p 27" 144Hz IPS panels came onto the market in 2015. Those had Gsync modules in them too that raised the price. They were around 800 bucks. So this is 100 less, 4 years later, and with freesync. You can get the same type of panel now for much cheaper than this. I would find one that you like and buy a cheap stand for it to pivot if it doesn't have that feature out of the box.
