The Frame 27-inch 2K 165Hz monitor combines a QHD display with a high refresh rate, making it suitable for gaming, everyday work and entertainment. Its 2560 × 1440 resolution provides more detail than Full HD, while the 165Hz refresh rate allows for smoother motion in supported games.
For anyone building a gaming setup or upgrading a home workstation, this monitor offers a combination of screen resolution, refresh rate and connectivity worth considering.
27-Inch QHD Display
The monitor has a 27-inch screen with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels, also known as QHD or 2K. Compared with a 1920 × 1080 Full HD display of the same size, QHD provides more pixels for displaying text, images and other on-screen content.
The extra detail is useful when gaming, viewing high-resolution media or working with several windows. You can keep documents, browser tabs and other applications visible without relying entirely on switching between windows.
165Hz Refresh Rate and 1ms MPRT
The 165Hz refresh rate allows the screen to refresh up to 165 times per second. This is particularly useful in fast-paced games, where movement and camera changes can appear smoother than on a standard 60Hz display.
The monitor also lists a 1ms MPRT response time. MPRT refers to motion picture response time, a measurement associated with perceived motion clarity. It is different from the pixel response time measured using other methods.
To take advantage of the high refresh rate, your computer and connection must support the required resolution and refresh rate. Actual gaming performance will also depend on your graphics card and the game being played.
AMD FreeSync and Adaptive Sync
The monitor supports AMD FreeSync and Adaptive Sync. These technologies help synchronise the display's refresh rate with the output of a compatible graphics card, reducing screen tearing and helping to make gameplay smoother.
The benefit depends on compatibility and the supported operating range. Check your graphics card and connection settings to ensure the display is configured correctly.
Connectivity
The Frame 27-inch monitor includes HDMI and DisplayPort connections, giving you options for connecting a compatible desktop computer, laptop or gaming system.
Before connecting your device, check which port supports your intended resolution and refresh rate. The cable and connected device can affect the maximum refresh rate available.
Suitable for Gaming and Everyday Work
The combination of QHD resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate makes this monitor useful beyond gaming.
- PC gaming: The high refresh rate supports smoother gameplay in compatible titles.
- Office work: The QHD screen provides room for documents, spreadsheets and browser windows.
- Content viewing: The 27-inch display is suitable for watching videos and viewing high-resolution images.
- Everyday multitasking: The screen resolution gives you additional workspace for handling multiple applications.
For graphic design or colour-critical work, check the monitor's colour coverage and colour accuracy specifications before purchasing, as these are not established by resolution and refresh rate alone.
