A dash means the manufacturer does not publish that figure or we could not verify it. We never fill gaps with estimates.

Size, resolution, panel, refresh rate and response time are each checked against the manufacturer's listing on Amazon.es. Anything we could not confirm shows as “—”: we would rather leave a gap than invent a figure.

The review

QHD across 27 inches gives 109 pixels per inch, the point where text stops looking pixelated and the desktop finally has room for two real windows. It is by far the upgrade you appreciate most in daily use, and you feel it every minute the monitor is on, whether you are gaming or not.

The 180 Hz arrive without demanding an outrageous graphics card: a mid-range card pushes QHD at those frame rates in most games with sensible settings. And the stand has all four adjustments, vertical pivot included, which plenty of monitors at twice the price do not offer. HDR remains nominal, as on almost anything that is not OLED or Mini-LED.

In its favour

  • Ideal pixel density for 27 inches
  • Stand with all four adjustments
  • Four video inputs
  • Three-year warranty

Against it

  • HDR without real brightness
  • Contrast typical of IPS
  • No USB-C

Best for: Practically anyone: this is the default monitor for gaming and working without overspending.
