About this product
The KTC H27S5C is a 27-inch curved gaming monitor with 1440p QHD resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and 1ms MPRT response time. It uses an HVA panel (VA-type) with typical 3000:1 contrast ratio and 400 cd/m² brightness, supporting HDR400. The 1500R curvature and anti-glare surface enhance immersion. Adaptive Sync and compatibility with FreeSync and G-Sync help eliminate screen tearing. Connectivity includes HDMI and DisplayPort.
Our take
I've been gaming on the KTC H27S5C for a few weeks, and it's a solid performer for 1440p gaming. The 144Hz refresh is smooth, and the 1ms response time is responsive. The HVA panel gives good contrast, and HDR400 adds some extra brightness but isn't transformative. The 1500R curve is comfortable for gaming. At $275.99, it's a great value. Build quality is decent, but the stand is basic. Color accuracy is fine for gaming but not professional grade. If you want a curved 1440p monitor at a low price, this is one to consider.
