Top 10 27" monitors

A gaming monitor from AOC that we recommend to professional gamers and enthusiasts. The rest of the buyers will either buy it out of ignorance or pass by. This reaction is due to the high price, even despite the amazing 240Hz refresh rate and comfortable stand. But you have to give it its due, it costs an order of magnitude cheaper than the Predator line.

The modest resolution of 1920x1080 had a positive effect on the price, but that's not the point. If you are a fan of competitive disciplines and especially shooters, then with the purchase of this model you will get the best control over the gameplay and it will be noticeable even when moving from 144 Hz, not to mention other models. In addition, the image becomes more detailed, which allows you to notice more details. With such a model, no 4K is needed, which many mistakenly consider the best for games.

Budget monitor for everyday home or office use. Solidly assembled, looks great, got thin frames and a good version of the IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, as well as a sufficient margin of backlight brightness of 250 cd/m2. Other parameters are also standard: response time - 5 ms, refresh rate - 60 Hz, color depth - 8 bits. There are two ports for connecting to a computer: HDMI and VGA.In general, nothing superfluous, but we note the power consumption reduced to 31 W.

Reviews say that for its price, the monitor offers even more than expected, especially in terms of picture quality. Experts also confirm this conclusion, but at the same time they speak about the presence of significant shortcomings: for the sake of a “thin” design, the manufacturer got rid of the VESA mount, the price reduction was also achieved due to the minimal use of eye protection technologies, and the dimensions of the stand are too bulky, from What limits free space on the table.

For gamers who want to purchase a branded monitor with 2K resolution and increased hertz, we recommend that you pay attention to the C27JG50QQI. This model can be considered the best in terms of the ratio of installed iron and price. It produces a great picture, which, in addition, can also be customized. We recommend connecting it via DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0.

Color reproduction from the factory is noted as almost perfect. Note that such a monster needs a powerful system with a card of at least a 1070Ti or 2060 level. You can install weaker hardware, but then only freeplay games and projects that are not very demanding on components will be available to you. Lights are visible only when turned on or off, the rest of the time they are not visible. Among the shortcomings, buyers note a relatively high percentage of defects and broken pixels on the monitor.

Stylish IPS monitor with bezel-less design, built-in speakers, low power consumption (up to 27W) and gaming-grade functionality. Here, 2K resolution, a good margin of brightness, a response of only 1 ms, support for AMD FreeSync, as well as 10-bit color depth. For complete happiness, only the gaming refresh rate is missing, so you have to be content with 75 Hz. Among other things, we note the presence of DisplayPort, low weight (only 5.8 kg) and high-quality matte finish.

In reviews, the model is praised for its good design, optimal price / quality ratio, the presence of a DisplayPort cable in the package, minimal glare and overall image quality. There are also dissatisfied buyers who miss the louder sound of the speakers, the stability of the stand and the greater variety of position adjustments, since only the tilt option is available.

This monitor is designed specifically for the best professionals in the field of graphic design. Flat frameless display has a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, IPS-matrix with 8-bit color depth and 100% Rec.709 and sRGB color gamut. There is a built-in four-port USB hub, a rich selection of video connectors and a unique swivel stand with adjustments in any plane. In general, everything that is needed for convenient work with graphics packages on a computer is available.

Based on customer reviews, this monitor stands out for its perfect color reproduction, factory calibration quality, backlight uniformity, and overall usability, especially in terms of stand adjustment.There are also disadvantages, which are mostly common to all models with an IPS matrix: micro-glare is possible in the corners at certain viewing angles, “grayness” of black shades when watching video in the dark, lack of a refresh rate – the maximum here is only 75 Hz.

Philips offers an excellent alternative to Samsung Acer and AOC. Its budget 27-inch monitor is not only large, but also has high-quality filling, which is why the screen does not flicker and offers buyers modes for tired eyes. At this price, the quality is simply excellent, in addition, all monitors are carefully checked at the factories and calibrated. There are two built-in speakers, but it is not recommended to use them, as the sound quality is mediocre.

The headphone jack is located at the back, which is not very convenient. The power supply is built-in, not remote. Mounting on the wall is problematic, as this is prevented by an extremely thick network wire. Buyers highly appreciated all technical characteristics except for the stand. She thinks it's flimsy and it's better to use a VESA mount anyway. Highly lit scenes lack colors from the factory, so manual calibration will be needed.

If you want to buy a model with an IPS-matrix, then AOC 27B1H will be the best budget choice. A large and at the same time light monitor with a comfortable stand, colors and viewing angles have become a tasty morsel for buyers. The type of matrix negatively affected the response time, which is one of the largest and is 7 ms.The refresh rate is considered standard for its segment and varies from 50 to 76 Hertz. Works well in brightly lit rooms.

In addition to a modern and attractive appearance, the bezel-less design provides a seamless look when using three monitors at once. The cursor and windows will no longer "sink" and ensure the completeness of the picture. The slim design looks elegant in any interior. There is support for HDMI versions 1.3 and 1.4. There are no USB outputs. Standard brightness settings blind the eyes and by default they are set to 80%, but it is better to reduce them to 50%. Management is carried out not by a joystick, but by a classic push-button menu.

The Samsung C27F390FHI is the best budget choice for a gaming PC. The monitor is curved, but it does not play a big role for 27 inches. The matrix is ​​of high quality, the colors are not bad, as is the response, black is black, and white is white. There are a lot of pixels and they are invisible on the screen. There is no flicker.

Full HD resolution and it fully complies with the highest quality standards. We recommend buying 2 of these and placing them on the sides of a 24-inch or 27-inch direct monitor with a similar matrix and create a semblance of a studio at home. Among the shortcomings, one can note the on and off button located on the rear panel, which is why you have to reach for it and look for a long time. From the inputs there are HDMI and VGA for modern video cards. There are headphone outputs and fine color calibration. It is better not to twist the brightness by 100%, but stop at 50%. There is also a game mode that allows you to better navigate in the dark in games.

Not the most budgetary of course, but an excellent gaming monitor from ASUS with a diagonal of 27 inches. The model, highly rated by both experts and buyers, can offer an excellent IPS-matrix with a response of 1 ms, FullHD resolution, 99% sRGB, support for NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and a refresh rate of 280 Hz. With this set of parameters, any game will look just perfect. The only thing missing is a curved screen shape, but that would push the price even higher.

Judging by the reviews, the possibilities declared by the manufacturer are fully justified: there are no jerks in the picture even in the latest shooters with an abundance of dynamic shootouts. There is no eye fatigue during long gaming sessions, and some call the quality of the backlight almost a reference. Of the available nit-picking, we note the low volume of the built-in speakers, an external power supply and overpriced factory brightness settings.

This monitor is among the best for a number of reasons. A high-quality VA matrix does not cause any complaints. The minimum response time of just 4 ms has a positive effect on the picture, smoothness and overall interaction with the monitor. The stock of brightness is more than enough and many buyers consider it even redundant. The 178-degree viewing angle lets you view the screen from almost any position. Unfortunately, the package does not include HDMI and Display Port cables, instead VGA and DVI-D are waiting for you.

The sleek, thin bezel design has made the monitor an eye-catcher on any computer desk, and while it's not ultra-thin, it still has some charm.Full HD resolution can be considered the minimum for games. There are no glare and trails, including in demanding projects. This monitor is a vivid example of the fact that VA-matrix is ​​sometimes better than IPS, besides it is cheaper and does not have "out of the blue" colors.
