Gaming Philips with QHD and 180 Hz costs 3,990 CZK with a code. It has a curved VA panel

QHD image and high refresh rate don’t have to swallow the entire gaming rig budget. You can now buy the Philips 27M2C5501 on Alza for 3,990 CZK with code ALZADNY30. For this price, you get a 27-inch curved monitor with a 180Hz VA panel. The offer is thus aimed primarily at gamers who want a finer image and a high refresh rate at the same time.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense for: Gamers who, in addition to a fast panel, will also use screen height adjustment.
⚠️ Consider: The screen is curved. If you want a flat panel for work as well, this model does not meet your requirements.
💡 Both HDMI and DisplayPort cables are included in the package, you don’t have to add them to the cart separately.

Not just speed, but also contrast

The 2560 × 1440 pixel resolution is complemented by FreeSync for image synchronization. In addition to the gaming refresh rate, the stated native contrast of 5000:1 is also noteworthy. Contrast is particularly interesting for those who, in addition to fast-paced games, also seek out dark scenes and care about the difference between bright and dark parts of the image.

You will also find HDR and a maximum brightness of 300 cd/m2 in the specifications. However, we would not consider HDR support itself as the main argument for purchase; with this brightness, it is more of a marketing claim.

Connect your PC and console side-by-side

Two HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort allow multiple devices, such as a computer and a console, to remain connected without swapping a shared cable. A headphone output is also present. Those who use their own arm can utilize the VESA 100×100 mounting.

Alza lists a regular price of 5,700 CZK, against which the code ALZADNY30 reduces the amount by 30% to 3,990 CZK. The monitor is in stock, and customer ratings reach 4.6 out of 5 from 29 reviews. For those interested in a more affordable gaming setup, it’s important that the budget covers not only the panel itself, but also the adjustable stand and connecting cables.

Do you prefer a curved screen for a gaming monitor, or do you prefer a flat screen?
