Razer Raptor 27 | 27-inch 1440p | 165Hz | 1ms MPRT | $799.99$299.99 at Newegg (save $500)
There are cheaper 1440p high refresh gaming panels, to be sure. But none come close to the beautiful engineering and styling of the Razer Raptor 27, it's truly a sight to behold. It's an older model, but with an IPS panel, 165Hz refresh and HDR 400 certification, it's a decent all round performer. Though that 'before' price is absolute nonsense in 2023.

Price check: Amazon $399

It's an older model, but it checks out. When Razer released the Raptor 27-inch a couple of years back, it looked painfully pricey at $800 for a 165Hz 27-inch 1440p panel. But now you can snag it on Newegg for just $299. Suddenly, a slab of slick Razer-engineered luxury on your desktop just got a whole lot more attainable.

There are, of course, now faster 1440p monitors running at 240Hz and beyond. There are high-refresh 1440p IPS panels available for sub-$200, too, which we'll come to.

But this Razer is a bit special when it comes to design and engineering. And 165Hz is surely quick enough and slick enough for most gamers. The rest of the Razer Raptor 27's spec are decent, too.

You get HDR400 certification, 480 nits peak HDR brightness, IPS panel tech and multiple inputs including HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C. The latter does support power delivery, but sadly only up to 15W.

The only snag is that, as an older model, the IPS panel's response time is a tiny bit off the pace of the latest monitors. The headline performance is rated at 1ms. But that's via the MPRT metric with backlight strobing. The more conventional and arguably more representative GtG figure comes in at 4ms.

So, if you want that absolute fastest available technology, this monitor won't be for
