CES 2019 is already here and that means it's Razer's turn to make its own presentation, like every year.
For 2019, Razer presents the Razer Raptor, a 27‑inch gaming monitor, standing out as a hardware company once again. The most interesting thing is that the Raptor is not just a CES prototype but will hit the market as a product that will cost about $699.99.
What are the features of the Raptor?
At first glance, Razer seems to have made a very impressive Raptor for PC gaming. In terms of design , there are razor-thin bezels around the screen and behind it is the integrated cord management system that has a nice texture. In addition, there are green cables to manage the inputs without altering their design. To be precise, the cables contain a power cord, an HDMI, a Display Port, a USB-C and a USB-A.
The company seems to have made the most impressive display, as it is a 27-inch screen with 2560×1440 QHD resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate and a response rate between 1ms and 7ms. The brightness of the screen reaches 420 nits and supports HDR. The only downside of all is that there is support only for FreeSync technology from AMD and not for G-Sync from Nvidia.
As for software, the Raptor will support picture-in-picture input capabilities, which means you'll be able to see multiple inputs one at a time. There's also support for screen-mirroring via a USB cable if you have a Razer phone.
Aside from the new Raptor, the company announced an update to the Razer Blade 15 gaming laptop, which essentially upgrades the Blade that already exists with the new GeForce RTX 20-series laptop from Nvidia. The new upgraded «Razer Blade 15 Advanced» will be available soon with an RTX 2060, RTX 2070 Max-Q or RTX 2080 Max-Q.
