Product Information

Drastically overlooked, yet absolutely crucial - a great PC monitor is the lifeblood of your computer - and can either make or break your favourite pastimes, whether it's gaming, watching your favourite shows or video editing - and a 27-inch monitor is the perfect size for it all. Ryan Houghton is a tech writer and reviewer for What's The Best, specialising in PCs and gaming. He is a keen PC gamer and an avid reader. DC power out function only supports Intel NUC with 19 V, max 65 W. Only one PC or notebook should be connected to either USB-C or DC out port for power passthrough function.

Contrast ratio is a direct comparison of the lightest shade a screen can produce compared to the darkest shade. The greater the contrast, the more vivid the picture will be overall. This gives any games or shows you're watching a wonderful depth - and enhances the overall beauty of the screen. What is a monitor panel?A monitor panel is the part of your screen that displays the actual image outputted by your external device. There are three primary types of monitor: You can squeeze a wider palette of colours out of the panel by switching to the default mode and tweaking the red, green and blue channels, but unlike the Dell there’s no option to simply switch to a DCI-P3 preset. If you have a colorimeter to hand, though, you should be able to match our increase in DCI-P3 coverage from 69% to 81%. Alternatively, use one of Philips’ SmartImage presets: the Movie mode pushed the DCI-P3 coverage to just under 80%, and in this mode, it also hit 382cd/m2 peak brightness. It’s still no match for the DCI-P3 mode of the Dell, but it’s a decent substitute.

You may be building your very first PC or simply stepping up your monitor game - but in any case, we've got some of the most superb 27-inch monitors of the year, perfect for any budget.inch monitors are large enough for comfortable viewing, and small enough for easy transportation - so wherever you go, you can always have that extra screen.
