Konic 27” FHD Curved Gaming Monitor Review

Serious gamer but can’t (or wont) pay a hefty sum to get you in to the game?
Then Konic has the solution for you with their Konic 27” Full HD Curved Gaming Monitor (KD27712GF).
The Konic 27” Full HD Curved Gaming Monitor has a almost zero bezel curved screen with a visually stunning and gaming specific 144Hz refresh rate. This is heightened when you make use of the built-in ‘Game mode active sync’.

At FHD 1920 x 1080 the 27 inch monitor has three connection options; HDMI, Display Cable and old skool VGA. I recommend not using the VGA to get the best out of what this monitor can offer.
Oddly Konic do not supply you with a HDMI cable, but you do get the Display Cable in the box which is the preferable use to maximise your visuals to a eye blistering 165Hz, should your laptop or PC be compatible.
The Konic 27” Full HD Curved Gaming Monitor missed out on the USB-C display connection which a lot of the more recent gaming laptops are opting for. There is also no built-in speakers.

From the box there is a bit of DIY.
But it is super simple to screw on the back stand and wide angled base.
Unlike last years Konka KD32908GC there’s no lighting effects on the back, which is a shame, as this really set the range apart from it’s more pricier counterparts.
Still if you’re after some stunning visuals. This has it.

PC or console, both look stunning on this panel through either HDMI or DisplayPort. There’s no noticeable onscreen latency, and with the higher refresh rate paired with a decent graphics card, or a current-gen console running at 60 fps, you’re set up for pro-level play.
The Konic 27″ Full HD Curved Gaming Monitor is going to cost you just under $400 NZD. For what this monitor offers that makes it the cheapest out there without compromising on the eye-candy.
Stealthy in it’s black and red build the Konic 27″ Full HD Curved Gaming Monitor is superb as a solo primary screen or an addition to a multi screen setup.







I got this monitor for Christmas and while it is pretty great I wondered if the physical bezel is fake because there is a larger bezel when the screen is on.No amount of display fixes got rid of it so I’m pretty sure this is just part of the design which is a bit of a shame and kind of misleading.
