recently, due to work needs, the original monitor was not enough, so I wanted to change to a new monitor. As an evaluation blogger, of course, I have to compare various parameters and my own needs and choose the monitor that is most suitable for me. Although the overall price of monitors has shown a downward trend this year, in the high-end display market, most products still stick to the original price, and it is not easy to choose a cost-effective monitor. After comparing more than a dozen monitors, I finally chose an monitor called "high cost performance small cannon" - Ant Esports M27QK monitor (hereinafter referred to as M27QK in some places). Next, please follow my perspective to understand.
I believe some friends may not know much about Ant Esports, but in fact Ant Esports is a high-end e-sports brand under Huike (HKCh) and has deep technical accumulation. Relying on Huike's professional R&D strength and production technology, Ant Esports is working hard to bring excellent products that challenge the limits, and this time the Ant Esports M27QK display is a relatively excellent product.
1. Appearance
M27QK The overall appearance takes into account the characteristics of traditional monitors and the popular elements of current monitors. The traditional point is that there is no rash adoption of new structures in the display structure, but it is still a base + bracket + screen structure, and the design idea is more mature. However, in terms of the design of each part, the M27QK is different from traditional monitors.
In terms of base design, the M27QK uses a triangle base, which can form good support on the desktop. It is more stable than the round/square integrated base, and is less likely to be head-heavy. There is an projection light on the base , and the standard configuration is Ant. This can be changed into various patterns you like through customization. If the team uses this monitor, you can also change the pattern to your own logo.
In the design of the bracket, M27QK adopts a green design, and the green color light effect is more in line with the overall design style. The cool ant logo light remains always bright under normal conditions and looks quite energetic. There is also a very beautiful ambient light on the back of the bracket, which can usually be lit very easily.
Of course, this ambient light can not only be displayed regularly, but also synchronizes the divine light. The custom settings are also completely OK. Opening the OSD menu can easily adjust a variety of settings according to your preferences. After actual testing, I feel that my favorite is the colorful loop rhythm, etc.
In addition to the lighting that can be customized, the entire base and bracket can be lifted and adjusted to meet more diverse needs. There are also 75*75 VESA holes on the back. If you need to hang them during daily use, you can directly select the corresponding size monitor bracket to complete the installation.
. From the perspective of the overall appearance design, the screen has an excellent appearance in the entire display structure. The ultra-narrow bezels will make the intuitive and practical visual experience more excellent, and the immersion will be stronger, and it will have a more immersive feeling when playing games. The bottom interface of the monitor is also very complete. The common video output interfaces are all complete, two HDMI 2.0, one DP1.4 interface, and an Audio interface. It is very convenient to connect various devices. With this monitor, you can easily play with Switch and Xbox.
From the overall appearance design, the green appearance is more energetic, and some special and personalized designs make M27QK unique.
2. Screen experience
1, color and contrast
The core technology of Ant Esports M27QK display is Mini LED. When it comes to Mini LED technology, the principle is actually not complicated. In essence, it is to use LED backlight chips with smaller particles and more accurate light control to control the lights in the area according to certain partitions. Overall, Mini LED can be physically "black" by turning off the light control partition, so Mini LED presents a higher contrast ratio. Thanks to the accurate light control chip, Mini LED will also have higher brightness and more delicate display effects.Compared with OLED, Mini LEDs do not burn the screen, have a long life, and require lower power consumption at the same brightness. Relatively speaking, the more partitions, the more delicate the screen display effect.
Therefore, in recent years, the concept of Mini LED has been very popular in the field of displays. However, the performance of each company is different due to various reasons such as chips and training. Ant Esports M27QK adopts an AM architecture Mini direct backlighting method. The 384 partition lighting will make the overall display more delicate, and the overall color will be more vivid with the quantum diaphragm.
The actual color performance is very outstanding. First of all, the color gamut coverage is the color gamut coverage. The coverage rate of sRGB reaches 100%, the color gamut coverage rate of Adobe RGB is 99%, and the DCI-P3 is 95%.
Let’s look at this set of real shots with high saturation, bright and abundance of colors, and the colors of the scenery are truthfully restored.
Secondly, M27QK is 8 10, with 1.07 billion colors, making the types of colors that can be displayed more abundantly, and there will be no display effect faults caused by insufficient color. After turning on HDR, the M27QK can also reach an ultra-high contrast of 200,000:1, making the visual effect more realistic.
2, resolution and brightness
The screen resolution of the Ant Esports M27QK monitor is 2K, the 2K resolution of the 27-inch screen is very delicate, and PPI is 1/3 higher than that of ordinary 1080P, and the daily display is very delicate. The brightness shown by
M27QK is also very outstanding, because the excitation state brightness in HDR mode can exceed 1000cd/㎡, M27QK has obtained Display HDR 1000 certification. Currently, DisplayHDR certification is divided into four levels: DisplayHDR 400, DisplayHDR 500, DisplayHDR 600, DisplayHDR 1000. DisplayHDR 1000 means that it can meet daily professional needs. This means that the M27QK can easily break through 550cd/㎡ in normal mode, making the entire picture more transparent.
Let’s take a look at the real shot below. This photo of sunset against the light is thanks to the certification of HDR1000. The display effect of this picture is real and pure. The details of the bright part are not overexposed. The details of the dark part on the beach are also clearly visible, and the display is more realistic. The overall color is more unified.
3, refresh rate and response speed
This 2K of the Ant Esports M27QK monitor can reach a refresh rate of 240Hz. We have also conducted actual measurements. The refresh rate of the display itself has indeed reached an extremely high 240Hz.
Many people may think that 240Hz is too high and not that practical, but in my experience, if you are a game party or a sports fan, the refresh rate of 240Hz is really practical. Because this type of game or sports will have some delay and a strong sense of tear when displayed at low refresh rate. At 240Hz, there is basically no dynamic blur or delay during daily use. With Free sync/G-sync technology, it solves a series of problems such as vertical synchronization and refresh rate restrictions. Even if you play CS GO and other FPS games in daily life, you can easily handle it.
I tested the average frame rate of for CS GO, with an average of over 500.
Fast LCD (FAST VA) GTG's 1ms response speed can also make the game smoother, and the feeling of Kaka is gone forever. Compared with the delay of about 6ms for the monitor I used before, 1ms is really completely synchronized with the screen, and the experience is simply to beat traditional monitors.
If you want to have a better gaming experience based on this, you can actually try the game mode buttons on the monitor, FPS RCG and RPG, and one-click switching.
M27QK also has a fast adjustment function for aiming at the sight, which can adjust four different sights for everyone to use in different situations.
secretly tells you that in fact, there is also a timer built in this monitor, which is equivalent to a helper, which can help you remember the time of BUFF and the time of a game. Through more reasonable planning, you can better improve your level and make you become a real game expert unknowingly.
3. Summary
Generally speaking, at the moment when the current display market is getting more and more popular, Ant Esports M27QK monitor is more like a high-priced small cannon. For most people, M27QK can easily meet the needs and is one of the excellent monitors for gamers. The delicate silk-like display effect of 240Hz+2K is amazing. It is paired with the excellent Mini LED technology, making this monitor very competitive in the 2000-3000 yuan range.
