Z-EDGE G274K 27" 4K 160Hz IPS gaming monitor

27" 4K 160Hz IPS Gaming Monitor

The Z-EDGE G274K is a 27-inch flat IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 resolution, 160Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response time. It delivers 1.07 billion colours at 450cd/m² brightness with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 178° viewing angles. Adaptive-Sync is provided via FreeSync compatibility and connectivity includes two HDMI 2.1 ports and two DP 1.4 ports, all supporting the full 160Hz rate.

Suitable uses and limits

This monitor suits gamers who want 4K detail combined with high refresh rates over a single cable, and general users who value the anti-glare IPS panel for media consumption or productivity. It is not suited for competitive players who need refresh rates above 160Hz, nor for professional colour-critical work that demands hardware calibration or gamut coverage beyond the standard sRGB range. Buyers requiring integrated speakers, USB hubs or curved ultrawide formats should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the 160Hz maximum refresh rate at native 4K resolution across both HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 interfaces. If your graphics card and titles can sustain frame rates near that ceiling at 3840 x 2160, the panel’s 1ms response and FreeSync support will translate that performance into smooth motion; if your workload centres on 60Hz productivity or lower refresh gaming, a lower-specification panel may meet the need at lower cost.
