Product Lineup

  1. Gaming Monitor – GR2728OEL-BK-SL (Stand-less): 76,800 yen (tax included)

Gaming Monitor – GR2728OEL-BK: Unleashing Gaming Freedom

The 27-inch QD-OLED panel, combining OLED (Organic EL) and QD (Quantum Dot) technologies, achieves deep blacks and high contrast inherent to OLED, while enhancing the purity of red, green, and blue for clear, vibrant colors. The combination of a 280Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and WQHD resolution significantly reduces ghosting and blur, providing smooth and sharp visuals.

This monitor is designed to enhance various gaming genres: improving target acquisition and situational awareness in FPS/TPS games, faithfully rendering publisher-intended visual experiences in RPG/MMO titles, and delivering intuitive, vivid effect expressions in fighting games.

“Stand-less” as a Rational Choice

For many contemporary gamers, a monitor is an integral part of their setup that influences performance. GRAPHT offers a “stand-less” option for this model to make the exceptional beauty and speed of top-tier QD-OLED technology accessible to more users. Eliminating the stand not only reduces visual clutter on the desk but also removes the burden of storage, disposal, and cost, allowing users to focus purely on the gaming experience. This approach aims to deliver an “ultimate immersion device” that supports the gaming experience without asserting itself.

Key Features of ‘Gaming Monitor – GR2728OEL-BK’

OLED’s Black Expression | Contrast Ratio 1,500,000:1

Compared to the approximate 1,000:1 contrast ratio of typical LCD and Mini-LED panels, this product achieves an impressive 1,500,000:1. The deep, inky blacks characteristic of OLED technology enhance games and videos, making whites and vibrant colors stand out. This creates a highly immersive experience, drawing users into the screen.

Quantum Dot Technology | Minimizing “Unrenderable Colors”

Unlike traditional WOLED (color filter method), this monitor employs Quantum Dot technology, which directly converts light wavelengths using blue light emission. This method maximizes the color purity of red, green, and blue, resulting in clear, unadulterated colors. The color gamut coverage exceeds 99% for sRGB, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB, faithfully reproducing the original colors of the source material.

WQHD Resolution | A Strategic Choice for 280Hz

Maintaining a high frame rate of 280Hz at 4K resolution can be challenging for current hardware. Conversely, choosing Full HD for a 27-inch display might result in noticeable pixelation. WQHD (2560×1440) offers a very fine pixel pitch (approximately 109ppi), providing smooth visuals while allowing high frame rates to be maintained without excessive strain on the GPU. WQHD is presented not as a compromise, but as a “sweet spot” that maximizes the performance of modern GPUs.

280Hz × 0.03ms | Perceive “As Is”

Updating visuals 280 times per second pushes the limits of human visual perception. This allows fast-moving enemy trajectories to be perceived as smooth, continuous lines rather than discontinuous points, aiding in seamless tracking. Furthermore, unlike traditional panels that rely on the physical rotation of liquid crystal molecules, OLED elements instantly emit and extinguish light. This enables instantaneous transitions from full black to full white, ensuring rapid scene changes and quick recovery after flashbang effects.

Panel Protection Features for Long-Term Use

To ensure durability and longevity, the monitor incorporates various panel protection features:

  • Automatic Burn-in Prevention: Constantly monitors color information at the pixel level to prevent burn-in caused by prolonged display of the same colors.

  • Multi-layered Protection System: Utilizes advanced analysis such as still image detection, boundary detection, and pixel shift to automatically detect static images and icons that are primary causes of burn-in, continuously distributing the load on the panel.

  • Background Automatic Maintenance: Automatically performs 4-20 minutes of maintenance during sleep or standby modes, ensuring optimal condition without user intervention.

  • Self-Check Notifications: Displays a notification prompting maintenance every 4 hours of cumulative use (toggleable). It also supports immediate manual maintenance, allowing users to manage the monitor according to their lifestyle.

Stand-less Model (SL Model) Option

In addition to the standard monitor model with a bundled stand, a stand-less model is offered, designed for users who intend to use a monitor arm. This addresses feedback from existing monitor arm users who found the included stand unused or cumbersome to store. The stand-less model facilitates a rational choice tailored to individual desk environments.

Compatible with VESA mounts (75x75mm), it can be attached to a monitor arm right out of the box. By omitting the stand, it frees up desk space and offers a more affordable price. For those new to monitor arms, it provides a fresh experience to organize their desk and create an ideal layout.
