I was just eating my dinner. This is also an irrelevant post.

Perfect monitor for everyday use. Looks awesome and Full HD is more than enough for sitting a few feet away. And honestly how much content is there for 4K anyway. Wait for another 3 years before buying a 4K monitor. Oh, this of course does not matter is you have loads of money to spent!


You cant differentiate pixels from that far :smiley:

Thanks OP.

Didn't need it.. ordered anyway .. like a true HUKD member :laughing:

I don't know how far you sit away from your monitor but it must be far!

At 27" on a monitor it is easy to see the difference between 1080p, 1440p and 4k.

Good price, but only 1920x1080 Full HD resolution.

Good price. But no vesa bracket spoils it for me:/

27" of glorious 1080p, the pixels are the size of Lego blocks. None for me, cheers.

Both sides of the debate are silly as it depends on viewing distance. A slim ikea desk that's barely deep enough for just the monitor stand and keyboard and has your knees touching the wall behind requires a quite different DPI to a big executive desk that lets you stretch out your legs and still not touch the back.

And complicating things you have the fact that smaller 3840x2160 & 5120x2880 displays are intended to be used as HighDPI/Retina type screens with sizing set to 200% so the extra pixels are used for more detail at the same size, rather than displaying things smaller.

Personally I sit around 1-1.2m away so I'd find 1920x1080 at 27" the best resolution for my setup, but plenty of people sit at half that distance and find 2560x1080 at 27" usable.

There's a useful dot pitch calculator here: https://www.sven.de/dpi/

I struggle with anything under 0.28mm as the text is too small and gives me a headache.

Few places this is £165-£180 not as big saving as the Amazon Comparison shows.
