Maximum refresh
What is the maximum refresh rate?
Refresh rate is what makes scrolling and motion feel smooth. Here is the top speed of each Kuycon monitor, and which one to pick if fluidity matters to you.
The fastest is the P27Z
The P27Z reaches 5K at up to 180 Hz, and 330 Hz at 2K, the fastest in the range. It also supports variable refresh, so motion stays smooth without tearing.
The G27P runs 5K at up to 75 Hz, and the 6K G32P at 60 Hz. Both are perfectly smooth for everyday work; the P27Z is the one to choose when you want high-refresh scrolling and gaming.
High refresh on a Mac
On an Apple Silicon Mac, a high-refresh panel gives you fluid, ProMotion-style scrolling and animation. The Mac negotiates the rate automatically over USB-C or DisplayPort.
If you split your time between focused work and fast-paced games, the P27Z covers both without a second monitor.
From 60 Hz to 180 Hz
Choose by how much you value motion smoothness against maximum resolution.
