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

4K spread over 27 inches gives 163 pixels per inch, nearly double the density of a Full HD screen the same size. The result is text with no visible steps and game textures that look carved. It is the resolution that is hardest to describe and most obvious the moment you go back.

The built-in KVM is the underrated feature: it lets you keep a desktop PC and a work laptop connected at once and swap keyboard, mouse and screen between them with one button. Add the two HDMI 2.1 inputs for a console and it covers almost any desk. What it does not cover is elite competitive play: 160 Hz sit a step below the 240 Hz of the OLED tier.

In its favour

  • Outstanding sharpness at 163 ppi
  • KVM for switching between two machines
  • HDMI 2.1 and USB-C
  • Full stand

Against it

  • Needs a powerful card for 4K
  • Modest HDR 400
  • 160 Hz falls short for esports

Best for: Serious mixed use: text and detail work by day, image quality gaming by night.
