HKC has unveiled the UG27EQ, a 27-inch gaming monitor designed for competitive players, featuring a 2K resolution and an ultra-fast 400Hz refresh rate. It is priced at 1,999 yuan ($281) and available through retail channels in China.

HKC UG27EQ Monitor Specifications

The UG27EQ uses a 2560×1440 Ultrafast IPS panel that supports up to a 400Hz refresh rate and a GTG response time of 0.5ms. HKC has implemented a new dual-direction drive circuit that speeds up pixel transitions beyond what conventional line-by-line scanning allows. The liquid crystal layer also features a restructured architecture to further improve motion clarity.

In terms of color performance, the display offers HDR400 support and reaches 400 nits of brightness. It covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 130% of the sRGB area, with 10-bit color (8-bit + FRC) rendering over a billion colors. The panel supports DC dimming and includes a hardware low blue light mode to reduce flicker and eye strain during extended gaming sessions.

HKC has integrated its DIC 2.0 motion blur reduction engine, offering three adjustable levels of dynamic blur elimination. The monitor also features a dedicated Flash Clarity mode that improves visibility in FPS games by automatically detecting flashbang effects and reducing their glare by up to 20%.

The UG27EQ supports adaptive synchronization with FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. It also includes HKC’s Gaming Visiondock software, which lets players create custom presets, enable crosshair overlays, use sniper zoom assist, adjust dark-enhancement levels, and activate on-screen timers.

For connectivity, the monitor comes with DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, a multifunction USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm audio output. The Type-C port supports full-bandwidth 400Hz signal transmission, 15W reverse charging, and fast data transfer.

The stand supports height adjustment (150mm), tilt (-5° to 25°), swivel (±30°), and pivot (90°) for portrait orientation. The monitor is also VESA-mountable at 100×100mm.
