Finally, someone made a gaming monitor with both 144Hz and a decent resolution at 1440P. IMO, 1440P is the sweet spot right now. It looks good, but isn't too many pixels to drive. Bravo Razer, now let's just see some numbers for price.

I really hope this Freesync passes Nvidia's official list of G-Sync compatible monitors they just announced support for. Makes the price a hella more palpable, especially since Razer Blade owners would be getting the short end of the stick if not.

Also I know they're allowing force enable but rather not have any issues or have to buy a Core AND a AMD GPU and bring the cost up more.

But love the design, much better than the Alienware albeit not as bright though they don't support HDR.

Looking forward to other models and hopefully a BFG display 😃

Finally I've been waiting for years for Razer to release a monitor.

any non Chroma version at cheaper price?

Too big for a setup with two monitors. 24" is better imo.

Looks awesome.

the lack of bezel here looks more awesome and defining than on a phone..

Looks nice indeed, and it will go nicely with the rest of the Razer Chroma collection...
However, why not proposing directly a Ultra-wide and curved version of it?
This 27 inch format and small bezel was the hit 2 yrs ago, now Ultra-wide and/or curved is the way to go for a greater gaming experience (since last summer already)

my 2 sense...

Can't say it doesn't look sweet!
Where am I?

This is a good start. Hope to see more competitive prices like their Razer blade stealth, and G-sync as well.

Well... the only thing this Monitor has that other monitors don't have is Chroma...
I'd rather trade that for VESA mounting holes, G-Sync or the choice of multiple screen sizes :wink_:

Impressive! Looks like a few industry firsts as far as I know, thinnest bezels, 1ms IPS, and ULMB was only on Gsync monitors before. The tilting will be convinient also. 27" 1440 high refresh is the perfect combo right now too. Curious to see if it passes Nvidia's new tests to be Gsync compatible.
Also really like the flat back of the monitor so its easy to stick on the HDK kit.

  • 27" Non-Glare WQHD IPS Display - very nice
  • Fast 144Hz Refresh Rate and wide color gamut with HDR support - sweet spot
  • Ultra thin bezels at 2.3mm - so nice and clean
  • Adaptive display via AMD FreeSync - I'm sure it's to keep costs down , so on that part it's good , but I'd perfer G-sync ,
  • 90° tilt for easy setup and access to ports - Always nice to have
  • Built-in CNC cable management system - A excellent addition that seems like a no brainer
  • USB-C power delivery to charge mobile devices - Neat, but not really needed
  • Razer Chroma™️ with 16.8 million colors for customization - And of coarse the Razer trademark that everone steals,


I really wanted a Razer monitor for the longest time, but I was able to get a monitor very similar to this (just not HDR or IPS so not as fancy) But it's got the thin bezel, 90^ mount,27', G-sync , and I have the Razer HDK so ithas chroma as well.

I was able to get this monitor for 400$ so I know won't be able to get the Razer Raptor, but even still I don't know if I could go without G-sync anymore.

But anyways ,Thank you Razer for making this awesome monitor can't wait to see it.

HDR400 is essentially a watered down version of HDR. No where near bright enough for true HDR. Highly disappointed and surprised at the lack of G-sync, especially when every blade is powered by nvidia. Otherwise I think they did well with the design and other specs.

The fact that it is called the "Raptor 27" is a pretty strong hint that a larger, hopefully wider and curved, monitor is coming. Just an educated guess.

Fingers crossed for Raptor 49.

A display that truly enraptures. Set your eyes on Razer Raptor, our first 27” gaming monitor: http://rzr.to/Raptor



Flanked by thin bezels for a more immersive experience, the Razer Raptor features a WQHD IPS display supporting HDR400. The premium display also boasts 95% DCI-P3 color gamut—wider than sRGB for cinematic, life-like hues whether you’re playing games or watching movies.

With a 144Hz refresh rate, get more than double the frame rates of the industry standard for stunning clarity and seamless gameplay. Ultra Low Motion Blur technology keeps response rates at 1ms, so each individual frame stays sharper for blistering fast, precise reactions.

Forged out of a single piece of aluminium, the monitor’s base is also designed with height, tilt and swivel adjustments. Complete with its own cable management system, the Razer Raptor is a perfect fit for any setup.

Love how Razer puts it's on twist of style on their products. Amazing. I of course do which it came at a slightly lower price point but I imagine that style doesn't come cheap. I prefer quality manufsimanufa any day and I know that's what you get with a Razer branded item

All we need is that Chroma at the base of the monitor.

What a beauty, I was looking for a monitor and with this I think that my choose is clearly decided!

The panel spec is good (not great) and the stand looks nice along with the Chroma but that is not enough to sway me away from G-Sync. PC builds IMO have to be a blend of form and function and I lean just slightly more towards function when it comes to my display. The sad part is that the end user experience for Freesync and G-Sync is the pretty much the same but AMD just cannot build a flagship GPU to compete with Nvidia. Now with Intel poaching talent from them I doubt AMD will be putting out anything significant in the next few years GPU wise.

I’ve got a lot to say about this product since I am very much in the market for pretty much this exact kind of monitor and have been thinking about getting an Asus MG279q or a similar model (but given this being announced I am reconsidering these Asus panels). For starters I’m going to put the claim to rest that no Gsync means this monitor is dead in the water because that’s not true, plain and simple: freesync is the better standard and I am glad that Razer chose to support it (it isn’t proprietary and also doesn’t force Razer to unnecessarily raise the price for us consumers while still supporting variable refresh rate). To continue, this monitor is sick; the color gamut, very slim bezels and great cable management means that this is going to be a very useful and downright beautiful daily driver for practically everyone that buys one. Moving on to the panel specs, HDR and frame rates- they’re fine: 144hz is a great experience and the user base will undoubtedly love it and HDR support -although not fully fledged- will be a definite bonus. Lastly, it’s Razer we’re talking about here: some of the best customer service in the business, and who can forget the Chroma lighting as well as their signature brushed aluminum finish which is practically a trademark of theirs by now.

Now to move on to some of the gripes I have with the keynote so far, for starters, I’d love for it to be higher refresh rate. If it is overclockable up to 165hz, this is pretty much an instant purchase from me -even if Razer chooses to sell 165hz models at a higher price I’d still do it because that’s really the target I’m looking to hit: 2K 165. Next, it’d be an easier pill to swallow if it supported HDR10, VESA mounting -for those of us that want a truly bezelless experience with multiple seamlessly connected monitors,- and/or HDMI 2.1 (with an on-board memory chip for a firmware update whenever the spec for it becomes fully fleshed out) because with such said functionality it would be a dead simple no-brainer for those looking for a 2K monitor with the most functionality. Hell I’d even pay $900 for it with those specs since it would straightforwardly just be better than the competition -which is pretty stalwartly Asus at the minute.

TL;DR- this monitor is sick but if Razer wants to meet the market they’re selling it to (enthusiast users with a mighty need for high refresh rate 2K monitors) then it will likely need a bit more functionality since it is a bit lacking at the minute -especially for the hefty price tag on it.

Also high refresh rate IPS FTW

The cable management system looks great~~~

it should also be available for 20 gazillion razer silver, for the quantum computer gamers who mine silver like the flash
