ASRock is preparing to launch a series of gaming monitors. The new monitors were spotted by @momomo_us<\/a> (via TechPowerUp<\/a>). They’re called PG34WQ15R and PG27FF, and the fact they’ve got ‘PG’ in their names suggests both will be part of the company’s Phantom Gaming line-up.<\/p>\n

Both models have appeared on several certification lists, which means the screens are close to being released. They appear on the list of AMD FreeSync Premium monitors<\/a>, for instance, which conveniently also shows the specifications of both models.<\/p>\n

The PG34WQ15R features a 3440×1440 34-inch VA panel with a 165Hz refresh rate. 165Hz is available through a DisplayPort connection only, with a maximum of 100Hz over HDMI. It also lists HDR support. Depending on its final form, this one is likely to carry a premium price.<\/p>\n

The PG27FF looks like a more affordable model with a 1920×1080 27-inch IPS panel and a refresh rate of up to 165Hz. It also lists support for HDR. A listing at the Digital Content Protection (DCP) website<\/a> shows at least three PG27FF variants, the PG27F15R, PG27FF1A, and PG27F15R2A.<\/p>\n

ASRock’s entry into the monitor market is not a surprise. Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI are now well-established names in monitors. With all of the other big name brands, it’s a very competitive market. It doesn’t look like ASRock’s entrants offer much that isn’t already available from other makers, meaning its monitors will need to be price-competitive if they are to succeed.<\/p>\n
