HKC MG27QH evaluation: fully upgraded Ultrafast IPS is the flagship of the king of fast e-sports

1/Preface

Earlier this year, HKC launched an e-sports display that uses the second generation NanoIPS panel of LGD original factory and has 2K resolution and 180Hz (overfrequency) refresh rate HKC MG27Q At that time, we thought that the performance of the HKC MG27Q display was excellent and could bring excellent game experience to players. Unexpectedly, HKC was not satisfied with this, and recently launched an upgraded version of this HKC MG27Q HKC MG27QH 。 As a comprehensive upgrade, the HKC MG27QH not only inherits its advantages, but also upgrades its users' pain points. It is no exaggeration to say that the HKC MG27QH is one of the most sincere flagship displays before the coming of the Year of the Dragon.

2/Summary

Considering that many friends' time is precious, according to the convention, before we talk about this monitor formally, the author briefly summarizes some features of this monitor, so that friends who do not have time to read the full text can have a general understanding of this monitor.

1、 An original 2K 360Hz Ultrafast IPS panel is used ； The newly upgraded Ultrafast IPS fast panel adopts a new generation of driver circuit design and a new liquid crystal molecular structure, which brings up to 360Hz refresh rate and 1ms response speed, as well as 2K high resolution and 95% DCI-P3 game color gamut coverage, which can maintain stable color updates at high refresh rates, bringing huge improvements to game performance.

2、 Officially claimed to support 100% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 gamut coverage ； The super high color gamut coverage enables it to obtain an audio-visual feast beyond imagination whether it is an e-sports game or an audio-visual entertainment. With the perfect color accuracy of average Δ E ≤ 1, the color transition of the screen will be more natural and smooth, and the game experience will reach a new level.

3、 Through HDR600 certification, the light dark relationship is further strengthened ； HKC MG27QH has obtained the HDR600 certification of VESA. Its ultra-high dynamic range enables it to present a more realistic relationship between light and dark in the picture, greatly improving the level of the picture, and making black and white more distinct.

4、 Abundant interface support to ensure smooth connection ； HKC MG27QH interface has been fully upgraded. In addition to DP1.4 and HDMI2.1, USB interface has also been added to facilitate players to operate multiple host devices with one keyboard and mouse.

5、 Support Freesync/G-sync technology ； The HKC MG27QH supports the Freesync/G-sync technology, which can synchronize the refresh rate of the display with the host computer, and can solve the problems of tearing, jamming, and delay of the game picture caused by vertical synchronization and refresh rate restrictions, bringing fast and smooth game pictures.

3/Practical experience

After briefly summarizing some features of HKC MG27QH, I believe that most friends should have a preliminary understanding of this fully upgraded e-sports display. Next, the author will interpret the winning secret of this e-sports display from the perspective of actual game experience.

The first game selected by the author is the once burning "Shadow Torch City". As a kind of action game similar to the Milky Way Demon City, the player will play "Redwin", a rabbit wielding a huge iron fist, and fight with the legion in the huge world of diesel punk aesthetics. As a horizontal version of the fighting game, Shadow Torch City has high requirements for the refresh rate of the screen. Thanks to the refresh rate of the MG27QH, which is up to 360Hz, and the gray-scale response time, which is as low as 1ms, the delay of the screen is almost imperceptible during the game, and the operation is as smooth as silk, whether it is jumping or attacking, it seems as if there is divine help, The author easily defeated the first Boss.

The second game allows us to travel across half the world to Mexico. As an autobiographical work of Extreme Speed Racing, Extreme Speed Racing: Horizon 5 is more famous than Zhengdai. On the one hand, the simple operation mechanism makes the difficulty of the game plummet, and on the other hand, the beautiful and gorgeous foreign scenery enables most players in the world to experience the great rivers and mountains of the earth without leaving home. When I used the MG27QH to experience this game, I was completely attracted by the game's pictures. The rich and gorgeous beautiful scenery is really something that makes me forget about it. Especially under the super high color performance of the MG27QH display, the game pictures are lifelike. Even if I only experience the game for a few hours, I am also reluctant to leave.

The author of the last game experienced the plague from the Middle Ages. As a sequel, Plague Legend 2: Requiem can be said to be superior to the first one. Compared with the first one, the second one is a classic in both the picture and plot design. As a player, you will play Amisia and Hugo's sister and brother on the journey to find a cure for Hugo, The last time I experienced this kind of game from a female perspective was in Tomb Raider: Shadow. For friends who like this kind of linear plot, action adventure and some film narration, don't miss it; In the game, there are often changes day and night. Thanks to the dynamic picture expression of MG27QH, the author can easily see the details of the dark picture when playing, so as to successfully avoid reading files due to displacement failure.

4/Theoretical test

I simply showed you the experience of the actual game, but considering that in the actual experience link, the screen performance of the display is easily affected by the subjective consciousness of the author, in order to understand this display more objectively, the author will conduct a theoretical test on this display next.

The instrument for this test is SpyderXElite color calibrator, and the test items include gamut, tone response, grayscale, color temperature consistency, color uniformity, brightness uniformity, and color accuracy. Before the test, the display has been restored to the factory settings and warmed up for one hour. It should be noted that due to the difference in the test environment, the measured results may slightly deviate from the official data.

The first is the color gamut test. According to the test results of SpyderXElite software, the coverage of the sRGB color gamut of the HKC MG27QH display is 100%, the coverage of the Adobe RGB color gamut is 88%, and the coverage of the P3 color gamut is 94%, which basically conforms to the official promotion level.

In terms of tone response, the measured black curve should be as consistent as possible with the light blue "Photometric 2.2" curve. It can be seen that the measured black curve is very close to the "Photometric 2.2" curve, and the tone response is good.

In terms of grayscale, the performance of HKC MG27QH display is not satisfactory, the overall color temperature is maintained between 7400-7900, the fluctuation range is general, and the color temperature is slightly cold.

In terms of color temperature consistency, the color temperature of HKC MG27QH keeps good with the increase of brightness. The color temperature of white dots is between 7200K and 7400K, and the color temperature is slightly cooler, with the maximum brightness of 388.1cd/m2.

In the test of color uniformity, the seventh quadrant of the HKC MG27QH display is the closest to the D65 standard. There is a certain gap between the third quadrant on the right of the display and the standard color temperature difference value. The difference value is 2.6. The overall color uniformity performance is very good.

In the test of brightness uniformity, the HKC MG27QH display generally performs well, but there is still room for improvement. The maximum brightness is in quadrant 5, the maximum difference is in quadrant 2, and the difference is 55cd/m?.

In terms of color accuracy, the average Δ E value of 48 colors tested by HKC MG27QH is 1.00, and the minimum value is only 0.20. Generally speaking, if the average Δ E is less than 2, the human eye can hardly distinguish the color difference. The HKC MG27QH even achieves the average Δ E value ≤ 1, and the maximum value does not exceed 2. It can be said that even facing some professional displays, it is not inferior.

5/Appearance design

In terms of appearance design, the HKC MG27QH can be said to have perfectly inherited the advantages of the MG27Q. The front of the MG27QH still uses a three sided micro frame design, which effectively avoids the visual interference generated by the screen frame and improves the players' immersion in the game. In addition, the micro frame design has a stronger visual integrity when building multi connected screens, which can provide a better use experience for both games and offices.

At the back of the display, the MG27QH is also part of the shield series, so the middle part still uses the old "shield" design. The middle armor shield with red lines outlines the feeling of battle and protection, and the combination of the two colors perfectly presents the design concept of the "shield" series of guard players' game experience.

The bracket supports quick disassembly design. Align the bracket slot with the back of the display and press it down to complete the assembly. The installation process is very easy. The bottom of the bracket is also provided with a rational line hole, so that players can easily arrange the wire materials, so that the desktop can be kept clean and fresh at all times.

The bottom part of the base is designed as a hexagonal small base, which is like a shield installed on the display, providing stable and reliable protection for users. And the smaller size can also help players to free up more desktop space and obtain a comfortable operating experience.

The OSD menu adjustment of the HKC MG27QH display is very simple and convenient. The MG27QH uses advanced rocker keys, which are concise in layout and simple in operation. Both Xiaobai and novices can easily use them, and the control experience is very comfortable.

6/Say at the end

The HKC MG27QH, as an all-around upgraded masterpiece, has made significant improvements on the basis of the MG27Q. From the refresh rate of the panel to the backlight brightness that players most care about, the MG27QH can be said to be brand new; Whether it is the "frame rate party" that pursues smooth games or the "picture party" that pursues picture performance, The HKC MG27QH can well meet the needs of players. Just now, this display is being promoted in the flagship store of HKC Jingdong, and the price is only 4999 yuan. If you have a friend who needs to change the display at present, please do not miss this flagship "UltrafastIPS" which is very brilliant in all aspects.
