27" curved 1440p gaming monitor

The KTC H27S17 is a 27 inch WQHD display built for fast-paced gaming. Its 1500R curvature wraps the 2560 x 1440 panel around the viewer for a more immersive field of view. A 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response time keep motion sharp in competitive titles. HDR10 support and 99% sRGB coverage deliver vibrant colour for both games and media.

Suits high-refresh 1440p gamers.

This monitor fits players who want smooth 1440p performance at 165Hz with adaptive sync support. The 1500R curve benefits single-monitor setups where immersion matters. Buyers who need 4K resolution, an ultrawide aspect ratio, or professional colour calibration should look elsewhere. The 250 cd/m² brightness also limits HDR impact in brightly lit rooms.

165Hz refresh rate with 1ms MPRT decides

The 165Hz panel combined with a 1ms moving-picture response time is the specification that determines whether this display matches a gamer's speed requirements. FreeSync Premium and G-Sync Compatible operation keep frames tear-free across supported GPUs. If the target system cannot push high frame rates at 1440p, the refresh advantage goes unused.

Questions about this item

Does the monitor include VESA mounting holes for a wall bracket?

Yes, the cabinet supports VESA wall mounting, so you can attach a compatible arm or bracket directly to the back.

Can my graphics card drive 165 Hz at 2560 x 1440 over DisplayPort?

The panel accepts 165 Hz at its native 2560 x 1440 resolution; any modern GPU with a DisplayPort 1.2 or newer output will deliver that refresh rate.

Will the 1 ms MPRT spec eliminate ghosting in fast shooters?

The 1 ms moving-picture response time is designed to reduce motion blur, giving clearer trails on fast-moving objects in competitive titles.
