Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Gawfolk is the cheapest well-evidenced route to QHD 2560x1440 in our ranking. The listing describes a 27-inch IPS-style panel at 120Hz with a 2ms response time, adaptive sync and a flicker-free backlight, listing AMD FreeSync Premium among the picture features. Viewing angles are given as 178 degrees.
One entry in the listing deserves caution: the specification table quotes a 4000:1 contrast ratio while describing the panel as a standard IPS type, a figure well outside the usual range for that technology. Connectivity as listed is one HDMI port and one video output alongside DisplayPort, and the product features mention a frameless design and tilt adjustment. At the time of collection it carried 1,387 ratings at 4.2 stars, the second largest sample in this ranking. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
