Razer Announces Raptor Monitor: 27" IPS, 2560 x 1440, 144 Hz, HDR 400, AMD FreeSync
Razer announced their intro into the monitor market with the Raptor. The Raptor is a 27" diagonal monitor sporting an IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. That many pixels tick along at a rate of 144 Hz and 1 ms response time - which is made fluid and jitter-free with recourse to AMD's FreeSync. Additionally, the panel sports the lowest available HDR certification in the form of HDR 400, with brightness levels of 420 nits.
Razer is quoting a 95% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut on the "edge-to-edge" monitor. The Raptor also features support for Razer's Chroma and a RGB LED on the base of the aluminium stand, which incorporates a built-in CNC cable management solution running through the back. The Razer Raptor can now be pre-purchased for $699.

Look at the LG 27gl850, that monitor claims 1ms but overshoots terribly at the 1ms setting, it does however perform best of class at roughly 4ms when set to reasonable settings.
Other IPS monitors with the same specs on paper are over double the response rate of the LG when set to reasonable settings.
If this razer monitor can actually do sub 4ms responses while boasting the other specs I think the $699 price is within reason. If it cant do sub 4ms though then it's overpriced.
