27 Inch Monitors

27in is the size most people land on, and the reason is resolution rather than physical size: at 27in, 1080p starts to look soft, so this is where 1440p earns its money. Our range covers all three tiers — 1080p, 1440p and 4K — plus a handful of OLED panels.

Refresh rates run from 60Hz office panels through 100Hz and 120Hz up to 144Hz and 240Hz for gaming. The panel type is overwhelmingly IPS, which is the one to pick if colour accuracy or off-angle viewing matters; a few VA and Rapid VA screens sit in the range for deeper blacks at the expense of viewing angle.

Most of these screens adjust for height, and a large share carry two HDMI inputs rather than one, which is what you need if a console and a PC share the same screen.

If you already know the resolution you want, go straight to QHD monitors or 4K monitors; for the fast panels see gaming monitors.
