I, like yourself, have finally clicked on this amazon listing, after hours of searching, and google chrome giving my Ram sticks a leg day workout with 63 tabs we arrive at the Electriq 27" QHD 1440p 95hz IPS Display.
Not our first click, and kind of the one you keep coming back to. No frills, no effort has been put into making this stick out and if you go to their website it has uncompleted modules.
So why am I giving this 5 Stars? Let's get a preliminary report below:
Big Ticks:
1440p panel.
Freesync + Gsync as well!
IPS Panel. (If you're here you know why this is great. If you don't know the difference between TN/VA/IPS do a quick search and then come back. I'll wait.)
Mediocre Ticks:
27" really wanted? Eh kinda check, I think if the option is there 27" over 24" is great. (Subjective).
95hz? Bit odd, not the 144hz I was looking for.
OSD (On Screen Display): I mean it works fine, a lot better than people make it out. It's simple, it does have customisation just not the 18 tabs of gaming modes.
Unticks... Crosses:
The included stand.
The elephant in the room:
The Price: £199.
Alright with that out the way let's finish up with a small review/summary of how this all played out in practice.
-The box it comes in might as well have been the plastic bag Katy Perry was singing about in Fireworks, but it was protected well with styrofoam. The 5 Fragile labels did make me chuckle though.
-Upon opening you have some goodies. HDMI cable Power Cable and the Stand along with the display.
-Installing the stand is a real pain in the butt, I actually bought a VESA mount off amazon for £25 I suggest picking one up, great value. Otherwise you have no height adjust at all.
Now let's get onto the display. It's fantastic, the panel is actually a Pixio PX275h rebranded under Appliance/Laptops Directs OEM. If you are worried about the display being mediocre etc.. Worry no more, it's fantastic.
95hz refresh rate though? Right so this was the only "compromise" in the whole thing, considering it's £199 there had to be something. You can't just pick up a 27 inch 1440p 144hz Freesync/Gsync IPS display for £199. Now can you tell it's not 144hz? Yes, obviously you can. Is it really noticeable? I would say no*. The difference between 60hz -> 95hz is huge and very noticeable. The difference between 144hz -> 95hz is I would say small and not as impactful.
Also if you are here, you probably aren't rocking a 2080TI let's be real here guys. So the chances of us running AAA games with our RX 5700xt or RTX 2060 at 144FPS 1440p maxed settings is adorable at the very least. I feel the 95hz is a great middle ground, with little difference felt while gaming.
So... thanks for reading to the end man. Yeah you, looking great today by the way. In conclusion is this monitor perfect? To be honest it's pretty close, but there is no monitor I would consider perfect. You always have a balancing act of features - price. This monitor is a winner in achieving the best overall features - price. I am very happy with the monitor (For now - 2 odd weeks of using so far) and if you read this wall of text then I can safely recommend purchasing this with no holding back.
Have a great day you little minx.
