Raywego Gaming Monitor — 24-Inch, 34 Inch Curved & Ultrawide

The right Raywego model depends on three things you probably already know: screen size, how fast you actually play, and whether you're sitting at a PC or connecting a console. Here's how the lineup breaks down by real use case — not by spec sheet order.

You Want the Fastest Competitive Panel

If frame rate is the only thing that matters to you, the Q24B16 is the clear answer. It runs at 200Hz — the highest in the lineup — on a 24-inch 3000R curved VA panel with 1ms MPRT and G-Sync Compatible certification. At 4.5 stars across 149 reviews, it's also the highest-rated model Raywego sells. The tradeoff is screen size: 24 inches is tight if you're used to 27 or wider, and 1920×1080 at 24 inches is about 92 PPI — sharp at a normal desk distance, not stunning up close.

If you want flat instead of curved at a similar price point, the Z240B16 hits 180Hz on a flat 24-inch panel with the same 1ms MPRT. It costs less. It doesn't curve. That's the whole difference.

You Want a 27-Inch Screen for Gaming

The 27-inch black models split cleanly by use case. The Q270B13 is the office-first option — 120Hz, 1800R curve (the subtlest in the lineup), and an explicitly stated 5ms GtG response time. It also includes a Reader Mode, draws only 36 watts, and weighs 7.5 pounds. Good for people who mostly work and game occasionally.

The Z270B16 is the opposite: 180Hz flat, 1ms MPRT, G-Sync Compatible, 3-sided borderless, and it carries a 3-year warranty — the longest available on a black 27-inch model in the lineup. If you're running competitive FPS on a 27-inch flat screen, this is where to start.

The Z270B13 sits in between — 100Hz flat with built-in dual speakers. It's the only Raywego model with integrated audio. If your desk has no room for external speakers and you don't need 180Hz, this is the practical pick.

You Want a 34-Inch Ultrawide

There are three 34-inch UWQHD models, all at 3440×1440 and 165Hz. The differences are physical and ergonomic, not panel-level.

• The Q34B4D is the standard black flagship — dual DP 1.4 ports, dual HDMI 2.0, PIP/PBP, 100×100mm VESA, 14 pounds, 2-year warranty. It's the most-reviewed model in the lineup at 159 reviews.
• The Q340B45 adds the only height-, swivel-, and tilt-adjustable stand in the entire Raywego lineup, plus RGB backlighting and FPS/RTS game modes. It's the right choice if you spend long sessions at your desk and need proper ergonomic positioning. It draws 60 watts versus the Q34B4D's 15 — worth knowing if power consumption matters.
• The Q34P4D-1 is the pink version of the flagship. Same 3440×1440, same 165Hz, same PIP/PBP — just in pink, and about 6 pounds lighter at 8 lbs versus 14 lbs on the Q34B4D.

One thing all three share: 165Hz requires a DisplayPort 1.4 connection. Via HDMI 2.0, the Q340B45 is capped at 100Hz. The Q34B4D and Q34P4D-1 listings don't specify HDMI refresh rate caps explicitly, but HDMI 2.0 bandwidth limits apply — plan accordingly if your GPU or console only has HDMI.

You Want a Pink Monitor

Three options, tiered clearly by what you're giving up at each price point:

• The Q27P1B is the entry point — 27-inch, 100Hz, 3ms MPRT, 1500R curve. Best for aesthetic-first buyers who don't play fast-paced competitive titles. The 3ms MPRT is slower than the rest of the pink lineup.
• The Q270P18 steps up to 180Hz, 4000:1 contrast, HDR10, and — importantly — a 3-year warranty. It's the only pink model with the extended coverage.
• The Q34P4D-1 is the full ultrawide at 3440×1440 and 165Hz. If you want the largest pink screen with no spec compromise, this is it. It's also the priciest model in the lineup at around $249.99.

You're Connecting a Console

Short version: every Raywego model connects via HDMI 2.0, which means PS5 and Xbox Series X will cap out at 120Hz at 1080P — not the panel's peak refresh rate on most models. That's still a real improvement over 60Hz on a TV. Check the separate console compatibility block on this page for a full model-by-model breakdown before you buy.

You Just Need a Budget Monitor to Upgrade From a TV

The Q24B10 is the right starting point — 24-inch curved, 120Hz, and includes both HDMI and VGA ports, which matters if you're connecting an older PC or laptop. At 5 pounds, it's also the lightest monitor in the lineup. The 250 nits brightness is lower than most other models (most hit 300 nits), which is worth knowing if your room gets bright afternoon light.

A lot of the skepticism around Raywego — and budget gaming monitors generally — comes from spec claims that sound too good to be true. Some of those concerns are valid. Most aren't. Here's what the numbers actually mean in practice, and where the real tradeoffs live.

1ms MPRT Is Not the Same as 1ms GtG

Every gaming-focused Raywego model lists 1ms response time. That's MPRT — Moving Picture Response Time — which measures perceived motion blur reduction, usually achieved through backlight strobing. It's a real spec that affects how fast-moving content looks on screen. It is not the same as gray-to-gray (GtG) pixel transition speed, which is what most reviews mean when they say "1ms response time."

The Q270B13 is the only model in the lineup that explicitly lists a GtG figure: 5ms. That's typical for a budget VA panel — not fast by competitive standards, but fine for office work, casual gaming, and anything below 120Hz. The other models' actual GtG speeds aren't published, which is common practice for budget VA panels. Expect somewhere in the 4–8ms range for the 24-inch and 27-inch curved models under real conditions.

In practice, at 180Hz or 200Hz with 1ms MPRT, fast-moving content in FPS and racing games looks clean. You won't see the trailing or smearing you'd get from a 60Hz panel. You might see some VA ghosting in very dark scenes — that's a VA characteristic, not a Raywego-specific issue.

What VA Panels Actually Do

Every model in the Raywego lineup uses a VA panel. This matters for what you get and what you don't.

VA panels produce better contrast ratios than IPS — Raywego's gaming models list 4000:1, which is accurate for VA and meaningfully higher than the typical 1000:1 you'd see on an IPS panel at the same price. In dark gaming environments, that shows up as deeper blacks and more visible shadow detail. The Q340B45 lists a pixel pitch of 2.03mm and 127% sRGB, so colors at the center of the panel are genuinely vivid.

The tradeoff: VA panels can exhibit color shift at extreme viewing angles — not dramatic, but noticeable if someone's watching from the side of your desk. They also tend to show ghosting in very dark, fast-moving scenes more than IPS. For single-user gaming and desk work, neither of these is a real problem. For a monitor three people are watching at once, IPS would be the better call.

HDMI 2.0 Caps and Refresh Rate Reality

The Q340B45 listing explicitly states this: 165Hz via DisplayPort, 100Hz via HDMI 2.0. That's the honest version of what applies, in varying degrees, to every Raywego model with HDMI 2.0 ports.

HDMI 2.0 bandwidth tops out at 14.4 Gbps. At 3440×1440 and 165Hz, you need more bandwidth than that — which is why DisplayPort 1.4 (32.4 Gbps) is required for peak performance on the ultrawide models. For 1920×1080 at 180Hz or 200Hz, HDMI 2.0 does have enough bandwidth. So on the 24-inch and 27-inch FHD models, using HDMI instead of DisplayPort doesn't cost you refresh rate. On the 34-inch UWQHD models, it does.

Every Raywego gaming model includes a DisplayPort cable in the box. Use it.

HDR10 at 300 Nits

Most Raywego models list HDR support. The Q24B10 lists 250 nits; most others list 300 nits. To put that in context: the VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification requires 600 nits of peak brightness, and "true" HDR performance typically starts around 400–500 nits. At 300 nits, you'll see improved contrast in HDR-enabled games compared to SDR mode, but not the bright, punchy specular highlights that define HDR on premium displays.

This isn't a knock on Raywego — it's standard for budget and mid-range monitors. HDR10 at 300 nits is a real feature with real limitations. If cinematic HDR is what you're after, you're shopping in a different category entirely.

VGA on the Entry-Level Models

The Q24B10 and Q270B13 include VGA ports. VGA is an analog signal that tops out at around 1920×1080 — fine at this resolution — but it can't carry audio and doesn't support adaptive sync. If you're connecting a modern PC, use HDMI. If you're connecting an older laptop or a work machine that only has VGA out, these are the two models that still support it. That's the use case VGA serves in 2025: legacy connectivity, not performance.

The "Too Good to Be True" Question

Honestly? The specs are real. A 165Hz UWQHD VA panel at 3440×1440 with 127% sRGB and FreeSync is achievable at this price from a Shenzhen manufacturer selling direct on Amazon. The compromises are the ones listed above — tilt-only stands on most models, no USB-C, no built-in speakers on gaming models except the Z270B13, HDR that's entry-level rather than premium.

The r/buildapc concern about hardware failure is worth taking seriously. One documented case of a unit stopping after a few months is a real data point. It's also one data point out of a lineup that holds 4.1–4.5 stars across hundreds of reviews. The 2-to-3-year warranty is the practical answer — if a unit fails within that window, Raywego's Amazon support process covers it.

PS5 and Xbox Series X connect to Raywego monitors via HDMI 2.0, which supports up to 120Hz at 1920×1080. That's a real upgrade over the 60Hz most TVs deliver — but it's not the panel's peak refresh rate on the 34-inch ultrawide models. Here's the full picture by model.

What HDMI 2.0 Actually Allows on Console

Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X output at up to 120Hz over HDMI. The catch is resolution: at 4K (3840×2160), they're limited to 60Hz over HDMI 2.0. At 1080P, they can hit 120Hz. None of that changes based on the monitor — it's a console output limitation.

For Raywego's 24-inch and 27-inch FHD models, this means a console connection via HDMI will let you run at 1920×1080 at up to 120Hz — which is exactly what those panels are built for. The Q24B16's peak is 200Hz, so a PS5 won't reach that ceiling. But 120Hz at 1080P on a 24-inch curved VA panel with 4000:1 contrast is a legitimate performance upgrade over a 60Hz TV.

The Ultrawide Models and Console Play

The 34-inch UWQHD models (Q34B4D, Q340B45, Q34P4D-1) run at 3440×1440 natively. PS5 and Xbox Series X do not output at 3440×1440 — the 21:9 resolution isn't natively supported by current consoles. When connected via HDMI 2.0, consoles will output at 1920×1080 or 3840×2160, and the monitor will scale the image to fill the 34-inch screen.

The Q340B45 listing explicitly confirms the HDMI 2.0 cap on that model: 100Hz via HDMI 2.0, 165Hz via DisplayPort 1.4. Console users on the ultrawide models are looking at 1080P scaled to 34 inches at up to 120Hz — watchable, and the wide screen format still gives you a different field of view than a standard 16:9 panel, but not the native UWQHD experience you get from a PC with a proper GPU.

Bottom line on ultrawide for console: it works, it looks decent, but the native UWQHD resolution requires a PC connected via DisplayPort.

Model-by-Model Console Reference

One More Thing Worth Knowing

FreeSync — which ships on every gaming Raywego model — doesn't function with PS5 or Xbox. Adaptive sync over HDMI requires HDMI 2.1 VRR, which none of the current Raywego models support. You'll get 120Hz and sharp visuals on a 24-inch or 27-inch FHD panel, but screen tearing during frame rate dips isn't corrected by FreeSync when the signal is coming from a console. For most console titles this isn't noticeable at 120Hz. For the few that drop frames heavily, it can be.

The Raywego pink lineup — Q27P1B, Q270P18, and Q34P4D-1 — isn't a cosmetic-only tier. Each model carries the same core specs as its black counterpart. What varies is which spec level you're buying into, and what the physical monitor actually looks like on a real desk.

What the Pink Actually Looks Like

The finish on Raywego's pink monitors is a warm pastel rose — not neon, not salmon. The Amazon listings describe it as "hot pink" in the Q270P18 listing and "stylish pastel pink" for the Q27P1B, which gives you a sense of the range. The listings' product images show the rear panel in the same pink colorway as the bezel, so the monitor reads as pink from most angles — not just from the front.

All three models use a three-sided frameless bezel design, which keeps the desk look clean. The stands are tilt-only on all pink models — there's no height adjustment in the pink lineup. If you want the ergonomic stand with height and swivel adjustment, that's only available on the Q340B45, which ships in black.

VESA compatibility: the Q27P1B and Q270P18 are 75×75mm; the Q34P4D-1 is 100×100mm. A monitor arm replaces the stand entirely and frees up desk space — worth considering if you're building a minimal setup.

Choosing Between the Three Pink Models

The Q27P1B is where most aesthetic-first buyers start. At 100Hz and 3ms MPRT, it's built for casual gaming, content consumption, studying, and work — not competitive FPS. The 1500R curve at 27 inches is a genuine wrap; at a typical 24-to-28-inch desk distance, you'll feel the screen extend toward you on both sides. It draws only 15 watts and weighs 8 pounds. The 3000:1 contrast ratio is a step below the 4000:1 on the Q270P18, which shows up as slightly less punch in dark scenes.

The Q270P18 is the serious gamer's pink option. It runs at 180Hz — the same as the Z270B16 black flat model — with 4000:1 contrast, HDR10, and a 3-year warranty. That warranty is the longest available on any pink model and longer than most black models in the lineup. It also includes a USB port, DisplayPort, HDMI, and an audio jack. The 250 nits brightness is slightly lower than the 300 nits on the Q27P1B, which is worth noting for brighter rooms.

The Q34P4D-1 is the full ultrawide version — 34 inches, 3440×1440 UWQHD, 165Hz via DisplayPort 1.4, 127% sRGB, PIP/PBP. At 8 pounds it's noticeably lighter than the black Q34B4D at 14 pounds, though the dimensions at 31.7 inches wide are identical. The 34-inch panel at 1500R curvature wraps significantly more aggressively than the 27-inch 1500R on the Q270P18 — at a standard desk depth, both sides of the screen curve toward you in a way that's immediately noticeable the first time you sit in front of it.

What Pink Buyers Should Know Before Ordering

None of the pink models include built-in speakers — audio requires headphones or external speakers. The Q34P4D-1 has an audio out jack; the Q27P1B lists HDMI and DisplayPort but no explicit audio out port in the spec table (check the current listing for confirmation). The Q270P18 includes an audio jack.

The Q34P4D-1 is wide. At 31.7 inches across, it requires a desk at least 36 inches deep to sit at a comfortable viewing distance — under 24 inches from the screen and you'll notice the edges of the curve sooner than you'd like. Standard 24-inch desks work; shallow console desks don't.

Who Should Step Up and Who Should Save

Get the Q27P1B if desk aesthetics matter more than gaming performance and you're not playing fast-paced competitive titles. It's the most affordable entry into the pink lineup and the lightest commitment — if you decide you want the larger screen later, it resells easily.

Get the Q270P18 if you game seriously on PC and want the pink setup without giving up refresh rate or warranty coverage. The 180Hz + 3-year warranty combination at the 27-inch size is the clearest value proposition in the pink tier.

Get the Q34P4D-1 if you want the ultrawide format and you've already confirmed your desk fits a 34-inch panel, your GPU outputs via DisplayPort 1.4, and you're not going to need USB-C connectivity — Raywego's current ultrawide lineup doesn't offer it. For creative work, streaming, or open-world gaming where the 21:9 format changes the experience, this is the only pink option that delivers those benefits.

Raywego's warranty structure splits across the lineup in a way that's worth understanding before you buy. The standard coverage is 2 years on most models — that includes the Q34B4D, Q34P4D-1, Q24B16, Q24B10, Z240B16, Q27P1B, Q270B13, Z270B13, and Q340B45. Three models carry a 3-year warranty: the Q270P18 27-inch pink curved, the Z270B16 27-inch flat 180Hz, and — notably — the Q340B45 34-inch ergonomic ultrawide, which is worth flagging since its Amazon listing description mentions 3 years while the primary warranty field shows 2. Verify the current listing before purchase to confirm the specific term on your model.

All warranty claims and support requests run through Amazon. The listings explicitly cover damage, malfunctions, and missing accessories — so if you receive a unit with a missing cable or a display defect out of the box, that's within scope. The r/buildapc thread documenting an early hardware failure ("worked okay, now won't turn on") is a real data point, not something to dismiss. Early failures do happen with panels at this price tier across all brands. What matters practically is whether the warranty process is accessible — and going through Amazon's claim system means you have a documented channel rather than dealing with overseas manufacturer support directly. That's a meaningful practical difference for a budget-tier monitor purchase.

One thing the warranty doesn't resolve: the stand limitations present on most models. Tilt-only adjustment on the majority of the lineup means ergonomic positioning largely depends on your desk setup rather than the stand itself. The Q340B45 is the only model with height, swivel, and tilt adjustment built in. If you're buying any other model and need height adjustment, budget for a VESA monitor arm — all gaming models in the lineup support 75×75mm or 100×100mm mounting, so the option is there. A decent arm runs $25–$40 and solves the ergonomic gap the stand doesn't cover.
