Razer Raptor 27" - 2021

Overview

The Raptor 27 performs like a $300 entry-level monitor in several areas, despite Razer setting the price tag at an eye-watering $700+. There's absolutely no way I would ever consider paying $800 for this level of performance and it's puzzling to see Razer asking for it in the first place, too.

Though you can buy a competent 27-inch gaming monitor for less, the Razer Raptor 27 delivers a unique and premium experience. Not only are its gaming and video performance among the very best, but it also has unique styling and superb build quality, adding to its credibility.

The Razer Raptor 27 is great for gaming. It has a high 165Hz refresh rate with native FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing. Motion looks smooth thanks to the quick response time, and it has low input lag. Sadly, it's not good for dark room gaming because it has a low contrast ratio and doesn't have a local dimming feature, so blacks look gray.

Terminamos el análisis de este monitor en donde Razer pone toda la carne en el asador para proporcionarnos prestaciones propias de eSport con 165 Hz de refresco y 1 ms de respuesta mínima. A la vez de una excelente calidad de imagen gracias a una resolución 2K para exprimir el rendimiento de las tarjetas gráficas de nueva generación con títulos de gran exigencia y trazado de rayos.

The biggest issue with the Razer Raptor 27 165Hz is its price which isn’t competitive in a market where you can get a 240Hz variant for the same amount. We understand that its parts like its CNC aluminum stand aren’t cheap, but reusing a design means there should be discounts. It’s a worthy purchase for Razer fans who already have the brand’s gear, but otherwise, there are more practical options out there.
