Samsung creates 240Hz G-Sync C27RG5 Gaming Monitor

At the PC Gaming Show 2019, Samsung has revealed their upcoming C27RG5 gaming monitor, what Samsung believes is the world’s first 240Hz curved gaming monitor. 

The C27RG5 utilises a 27-inch 1080p screen which supports a 240Hz maximum refresh and support for Nvidia’s G-Sync technology. For this display, Samsung is using a VA-type panel which lacks support for HDR technology and sports a typical brightness level of 300 nits. 

In the US this monitor will cost around $399.99, with Samsung stating that this monitor is G-Sync Compatible, which means that this is an Adaptive-Sync compatible monitor. Strangely, Samsung’s press release doesn’t list adaptive-sync or FreeSync compatibility, only that the monitor is G-Sync Compatible and is “validated by NVIDIA to meet the performance and image quality requirements for G-Sync compatibility”.  

Out of the box, Samsung’s C27RG5 will support HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 display inputs and support VESA compatible monitor arms and stands.
