27" 180Hz Curved QHD Monitor

The Pixio PXC278 Wave is a 27 inch curved gaming monitor built around a Fast VA panel with a 1650R radius. It delivers a 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution at a 180Hz refresh rate and a 1ms GTG response time. Adaptive Sync support keeps frame delivery smooth during play.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Competitive players wanting high refresh rates at 1440p on a curved screen will benefit from the 180Hz panel and 5000:1 contrast. Buyers needing 4K resolution, higher than 180Hz, or a flat panel should consider other models.

180Hz via DisplayPort 1.4

The monitor reaches its maximum 180Hz refresh rate over DisplayPort 1.4, while HDMI 2.0 is limited to 144Hz. Checking your graphics card output and cable type confirms whether you can use the full refresh rate.
