I love this monitor. If you can pick it up for $400 or less definitely get it. The screen is beautiful and the build quality is unparalleled. Also pick up some geek squad protection because as an avid razer customer I know first hand that their products tend to have issues in some form.

Razer 27

The Razer Raptor 27 is great for gaming. It has a high 165Hz refresh rate with native FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing. Motion looks smooth thanks to the quick response time, and it has low input lag. Sadly, it's not good for dark room gaming because it has a low contrast ratio and doesn't have a local dimming feature, so blacks look gray.
I must of got a lemon since I just notice after about a year of having it the G-sync has never been working a long with being able to update the firmware. I still enjoy my time gaming on this Monitor.

The monitor was a pain to get from Best Buy cause of a mix up, but after a month I got it and it’s really great. It’s a shame i haven’t seen this item available on Best Buy since I got it last year.

I bought the Razer Raptor and I have to say, the THX, the 165 frames, and the 1k resolution is mind blowing. I am glad I got my hands on this monitor.

This monitor is fantastic. I would have given it five stars but there is an issue with the RGB. I am not able to customize it in synapse and updating firmware did not solve the problem. I read online that other people have had the same problem which has no solution. For the price, even at a discount, I would expect everything to function perfectly.

Design and Build:
The design is sleek and modern with a solid aluminum base. The thin bezels and neat cable management system are nice touches that keep everything looking clean and organized on my desk. It’s clear that the design is both functional and stylish.
Display Quality:
The 27-inch display with a resolution of 2560x1440 is impressive. The visuals are sharp and vibrant, thanks to the IPS panel. Colors are accurate, and the HDR support enhances the overall viewing experience with deeper blacks and brighter whites. Whether I'm working or gaming, the picture quality is consistently excellent.
Performance:
For gaming, this monitor performs really well. The 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make for smooth gameplay with no noticeable lag. It also supports both AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync, which helps eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. It handles everything from fast-paced shooters to open-world games without any issues.
Features:
There are plenty of ports, including HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C, which makes it easy to connect different devices. The stand is adjustable for height, tilt, and swivel, which is great for finding the perfect viewing angle. The RGB lighting on the base is a cool feature, though it’s more of an aesthetic touch than a necessity.
Overall:
This 27" monitor has been a great addition to my setup. It combines strong performance with a stylish design and useful features. If you’re in the market for a new monitor, I think this one is definitely worth considering.

Really great monitor! The quality is superb. Only reason why I’m not giving it 5stars is due to its pricing. I do believe its too expensive for what it is. But if you manage to get this monitor at a lower price like I did then its well worth it!

I purchased this Razer Raptor 165 monitor to use with my Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles. The quality of this monitor is amazing! The 165 Hz refresh rates make such an incredible difference. The clarity and brilliant colors of the screen is better than I expected. The only down side is that the RGB color features built into the base only works when combined with a a PC that contains the Razer software. Not a big deal for me. The cord management on the back of the stand is such a great idea! I highly recommend this monitor for anyone who loves console gaming. And picking this up on sale for $499.99 was a no brainer! Go for it!

Amazing monitors! I love that the Razer Chroma synchs it all up so my wave goes from my monitors to my keyboard to my firefly and my mouse. It looks stunning!
**I will warn you that if you have a lot going to one outlet and/or a mid-grade power supply, you may have to turn off the bottom lights on the monitors. I recommend a Razer Katana Power Supply.

I have owned this monitor for less than a month. 2 days ago vertical black lines began appearing. Almost as if they were being burned into the screen. Now the word “LE” is burned onto my screen. Awesome. The WORST part about this is the customer service, Razer admitted that it is faulty and needs to be replaced. However, i only have 2 options to choose from, A. Ship the broken one to razer and wait to receive a new one (meanwhile i wont have a monitor and have no idea how long that will take) or B. Buy a new one, then ship the old one, and get reinbursted if they ever receive it in the mail. That might be an okay plan if it was a small mouse or pad. this is a 35lb 27” monitor. How am i supposed to easily ship this thing.

I was disappointed that the images show much slimmer bezels than what's actually on the device. Overall this is a middle of the road QHD display with 165Hz. I think better can be found for cheaper.
If you are a hard core Razer fan this may make sense, but I am not sure the upgrades from last years model is worth the price difference.
