Kicking things off with the design of the ASRock PG27QFT2A, this is a relatively conventional-looking monitor. ASRock has opted for a three-sided ‘frameless' design on the front, while the chin is a bit thicker, measuring approximately 20mm. Round the back we can see a relatively simple matte black plastic design, thought the Phantom Gaming (PG) logo adds a splash of colour.
The stand, you will note, is relatively chunky and that may well have something to do with the built-in WiFi antenna capabilities, though it also means the monitor feels reassuringly sturdy. ASRock is using a traditional v-shaped foot, and that measures approximately 45cm across.
On the back of the stand you get a closer look at the WiFi antenna connectors, and the cables that come supplied with the monitor to screw into your motherboard or WiFi card.
The stand also features a reasonable amount of ergonomic adjustments, including up to 100mm of height adjustment, 20 degrees of swivel both left and right, and then tilt from -5 to +20 degrees. There's no pivot functionality here, though VESA 100×100 mounting options are supported.
Unfortunately, like many screens around this price point, ASRock is not using a joystick to navigate the OSD, instead relying on five small buttons positioned on the back of the screen. We take a look at the OSD on the next page.
Connectivity options are also very basic, with just 2x HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 and an audio jack, so there's no modern creature comforts like USB Type-A ports, let alone USB-C, or KVM functionality here.
