Top 10 27 inch monitors

For all that, when choosing a computer configuration when buying, almost always focuses on the power of individual systems and performance in general, it is obvious that in the end the user will have to watch any content on the monitor. That is why the visual component is sometimes even more important than the performance of electronics, especially when it comes to the work of professional designers and video makers.

The market offer of monitors is very large and replete with a variety of technologies, innovations and improvements. We decided to devote today's rating review to one of the most noticeable categories of monitors - a device with a 27-inch large screen diagonally. expert.bigbadmole.com/en/ experts selected the best models in three nominations today - for gamers, for professional work with graphics, and optimal models in terms of price, quality and opportunities for general use.

Top 27 inch game monitors

In the first category of the review, we will look at two outstanding models targeted at enthusiastic professional gamers. These are powerful machines with excellent performance and, quite expectedly, very expensive. The first model is made by the famous Taiwanese company ASUS, the second is the product of the engineering thought of the best specialists from another Taiwanese company Acer.

ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ

Rating: 4.9

The first in the game pair will be a bright game model of the wide-format monitor of the ASUS ROG Swift series. Already only by its appearance this monitor leaves no doubt about its purpose and high class.

The manufacturer itself positions the model as “the world's first monitor capable of reproducing an image as 4K UHD at a frequency of 144 Hz”. Despite some controversialness of this statement, it’s still the gaming monitor of the highest level, and its outstanding parameters - operation in the technical quality of 3840 × 2160 with a frequency of 144 Hz fully correspond to reality. The response speed of the matrix is ​​almost a record 4 ms, which is important for particularly intense gaming processes.

In this model, the “impugned” technology of quantum dots is implemented, due to which the DCI-P3 standard is fully covered, the maximum accuracy of colors and smooth gradient transitions are achieved.

The monitor contains a sensor that records the intensity of external lighting. According to its results, the brightness parameters are automatically adjusted.

This model is fully compatible with such a remarkable visual innovation in recent years as HDR, which reveals a richer range of brightness "pictures." At the same time, a wider coverage of shades is provided when compared with monitors that do not have this technology.Actually, this is one of the first monitors on the market, which received certification in the framework of the industry standard DisplayHDR1000.

Perhaps one of the highest engineering achievements in this model is the implementation of LED-backlighting with flexible control. In practice, it looks like this. The screen is divided into 384 conditional zones, the backlight of each of which is controlled independently with the possibility of selective on and off. Thus, the possibilities of displaying contrasting colors, natural black, and achieving maximum realism of the graphics are further expanded.

Of great importance for a professional gamer is also implemented in this model, the technology G-SYNC ™ from NVIDIA, which achieves accurate synchronization of the frame rate of the graphics subsystem with the refresh rate of the screen itself. This technology acquires particular importance at the maximum settings of the game.

Using the built-in AuraSync technologies, the light signature and the projection of the LightSignal, the installation position of the monitor can be visually adjusted to the individual style of the space.

As part of the “ideology” of gaming devices of the ROG series, the monitor developers also included a number of special functions in the model that can be activated by pressing the GamePlus button.

Acer Predator X27bmiiphzx

Rating: 4.8

And another bright monitor model for gamers in our ranking is a representative of the Acer Predator series of gaming devices. In many ways, the model does not lag behind the previous one, while possessing some interesting personalities of its own.

Despite these similarities, these two models are by no means identical, and the second is noticeably losing the first in terms of functionality and capabilities. However, this difference is rightly compensated by a more affordable price.

This monitor also supports HDR, which is not as versatile as in the first case, but still exists. The maximum screen brightness is 600 cd / sq. The response time of the matrix is ​​just as fast - 4 ms.

IPS-matrix technology allows you to realize the maximum possible angles of comfortable visibility of the image without distortion - by 178 ° in both directions. The maximum number of reproducible color tones is 16.7 million.

In more detail, let's talk about the specifics of the frequency of changing the “picture”. Progressive varies from 30 to 322 kHz, personnel - from 24 to 144 Hz.

The following interfaces are used to connect functional modules or the monitor itself: standard DisplayPort, two HDMI sockets, USB TypeA (4 pcs), USB TypeB (1 pc). There is also a 4-port USB hub standard USB 3.0. The multimedia capabilities of the monitor are complemented by a pair of stereo speakers of 8 W each.

The position of the canvas can be changed in height at the front. The kit contains special accessories for mounting the display on the wall. The package also includes: power cables of various specifications (2 pcs), power supply, cable for DisplayPort, USB cable for computer, hook for fixing headphones, cable wiring device, vane adapter for VESA brackets, screws (4 pcs), visors (blends) of light protection, installation and configuration guide, warranty book, booklet with recommendations for safe operation, booklet in Arabic, report with calibration results produced in the factory.

BenQ PV270

Rating: 4.7

The rating is continued by another monitor produced by the Taiwanese company BenQ, but of a different series and with significant differences in performance downward. Limited opportunities are rightly offset by a much more affordable cost.

The dimensions of this model are 639x418x254mm, the net weight is extremely small compared to most of the solutions described above - only 7.80 kg. The monitor is powered by a built-in power supply with power consumption parameters of 73 W in operation and 0.5 W each in standby and sleep modes.

Acer Predator Z271Ubmiphzx

Rating: 4.7

Completes this group of rating, and at the same time and our entire review monitor series Predator manufactured by Acer. Given the monitor’s belonging to the Predator series of gaming devices, there is a suspicion about the gaming “specialization” of this monitor. This is partly true, but you need to understand that it can not be put on a par with the top hemer models described in the first category of our review.

The dimensions of this model are 614x512x269mm, the weight without packaging is only slightly larger than that of the previous model - 8.50 kg. Energy parameters: consumption up to 41 W in operation and 0.5 W in sleep and standby modes. The model complies with the environmental standard MPR-II.

The resolution of the matrix at this monitor is 2560x1440 with proportions of 16 to 9. But specifically in this case, the type of the matrix itself becomes important. This is the only model in our entire review where a budget TN matrix is ​​used, which is characterized by significantly smaller viewing angles without distortion - 170 degrees horizontally and 160 vertically. Accordingly, the question arises how then this model can be a game. In this particular case, the developers partly compensated for the shortcomings of the viewing angles of the matrix with the curved shape of the panel and a number of other characteristics that command respect.

Of these properties, first of all, it is worth highlighting the unprecedented response speed of the matrix - 1 ms, the highest frame refresh rate at the level of the top gaming models - 144 Hz, uniform WLED backlight. Brightness reaches 400 cd per square meter. meter. Points are distributed with a step of 0.233 mm in both directions. The contrast is 1000 to 1. The matrix reproduces up to 16.7 million tones.

The monitor is connected via the HDMI and DisplayPort inputs. Other interfaces are USB TypeA (4 pcs), USB TypeB, four port USB 3.0 dispenser. Quite powerful stereo speakers of 7 W each are built into the monitor.

The functionality of the monitor includes a variable refresh rate with the ability to maximize in acceleration mode up to 165 Hz, a set of tools for calibration. The panel is easily adjustable in height on the stand, or it can be mounted on the wall with a special tool included in the kit.
