27-inch 4K 160Hz Fast IPS

This 27-inch monitor delivers 4K resolution at a 160Hz refresh rate using a Fast IPS panel. It targets competitive gamers who need high pixel density and rapid motion handling in one display. Adaptive sync works with both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible modes.

Upgrade from 60Hz or 1440p panels

Moving up from a standard 60Hz 4K screen or a 1440p high-refresh model removes the compromise between detail and speed. The jump is worth it when your graphics card can push 4K frame rates above 120 fps consistently. Console players also gain native 4K 120Hz support over HDMI 2.1.

Sustained load with ELMB Sync active

Under extended sessions ELMB Sync keeps motion blur low while variable refresh rate remains enabled, preventing the flicker that can appear when the two features clash. The 300 cd/m2 brightness and 1000:1 contrast hold steady, and the 95% DCI-P3 gamut stays accurate without drifting during long matches.

Questions about this item

What desk clearance does the 27-inch VG27UQ1A need for its stand and 3-sided thin frame?

The 27-inch screen with a 3-sided thin frame fits on a standard-depth desk; allow a few centimetres behind the panel for the stand base and cable routing.

Which cable and port must I use to get 4K at 160 Hz on a PC, and what setting enables it?

Connect the supplied DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort 1.4 input and enable Display Stream Compression in the graphics driver; this unlocks 3840 x 2160 at 160 Hz.

How do I keep the Fast IPS panel and 95% DCI-P3 colour accuracy consistent over time?

Clean the non-glare surface with a dry microfibre cloth; avoid liquids. Re-run a hardware calibration profile every few months to maintain the 95% DCI-P3 gamut.
