On sale at a delectable $209, this 27-inch screen goes all-in on its 1,920 x 1,080-pixel IPS display, 165Hz refresh rate panel. While these specifications are far from the cutting edge, they are exactly what the vast majority of gamers are looking for. The modest 1080p resolution also means that most systems will have no issues maintaining the upper range of that refresh rate, particularly when it comes to less taxing esports titles like League of Legends, Valorant, or Overwatch 2. For its price, the Tecgear Prime PF270G delivers beautifully in terms of image quality. Its glossy coating helps with image sharpness and contrast, and colours are bright and vivid. The monitor also covers 100% of the sRGB colour space, just as Tecgear claims. The screen isn’t necessarily the brightest, with a measured brightness of just under 200 nits at 100%, but I never felt like it was too dim. That said, you probably shouldn’t have direct lighting above the monitor, and the glossy coating means that reflections are a big problem when viewing the screen from an angle. However, the IPS panel means that it never quite comes close to the deep, inky blacks of an OLED screen. Overall, an analysis by Datacolor’s SpyderX Elite turned out a very respectable performance, particularly when it came to colour gamut and contrast levels.
