165Hz QHD models to start from £349… without a stand
NZXT, having previously expanded from PC cases and coolers into motherboards, microphones, mice, and keyboards, have now launched a pair of 1440p gaming monitors as well. Far from being just another PC hardwarethingto check off, they look like they might be alright?
Both hit the 2560x1440 resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate, with the Canvas 27QHD being a flat 27in screen and the Canvas 32QHD Curved being 32in and… well, curved. They supportAMD FreeSync Premium, meaning they should work with Nvidia G-Sync as well, and come with anti-glare coatings to see off reflections.

The pricing is surprisingly competitive too. The black and black/white Canvas 27QHDs will set you back £389 / $360, with the all-white model at £399 / $380. The Canvas 32QHD Curved, meanwhile, is £469 / $430 for the black and black/white models, or £489 / $450 for the white.
The standard stands are still adjustable for height and tilt.
First-gen hardware should always be approached with caution, but NZXT has earned a little interest in my eyes. Their debutFunction keyboardsare lovely, and the NZXT Capsule made it straight onto ourbest gaming microphoneslist. Let’s see if the Canvas monitors can continue this hot streak, though if you can’t wait, they’re on sale now fromNZXT.comand the NZXT BLD build-a-PC service.
