Very good monitor, I would buy it again. I personally was convinced by the reviews on RTINGS and here from reviews.
I'm not a hardcore gamer, nor a cinephile, and I don't deal with photography, editing, etc. I watch videos on YouTube and generally a little of everything.
So I had the dilemma of whether to get this for the refresh rate or 4K 60hz.
Since I have a good PC (for VR) and occasionally play a game on the screen, I thought I'd go for this one that does it all and leave the 4K as I consider it for a slightly more specialized use.
And in the end, I'm glad I went here. I would have regretted the 4K. Before I had a TN panel 21.5in.
This one seems huge to me in comparison and I wouldn't want it any bigger. A friend of mine who I often visit has an ultrawide curved VA and personally I'm not impressed at all. In fact, it seems excessive to me, and in his office, I would prefer it to have better speakers in the space it occupies. But those are tastes and he likes it.
So for me, 27 is the sweetspot.
In games like CSGO, you don't notice anything special when playing. And when I say you don't notice anything, I mean there's no tearing, stuck frames, or motion blur at all. And that's the point. That's what gaming monitors give you.
I'm not an eagle and I haven't tried anything better, but I think you have to be an alien or a professional to see something negative.
As a result, gaming is so much better, and I didn't expect it to be so much more enjoyable to play. Much more relaxing and with good equipment, the only limitation is your skill and nothing else.
Now in relation to 4K vs 2K, I think it doesn't make much sense to discuss. In 27 inches, we're talking about 163 vs 109 pixel density.
Obviously, 4K is better. But as I said about screen tearing, that you don't notice anything here, in 4K you simply don't notice imperfections and it's not blurry at all even when you get close.
2K is a bit blurry in videos, but it's not so much about the panel density as it is about scaling. That is, videos and movies are shot in either 1080 or 4K. I won't go into details, you can look it up on your own, but I'll tell you that personally it doesn't bother me much.
It's like with music. Even if you have the best sound system, you need a good source, otherwise, YouTube and mp3 will never sound good. So here, if you plan to get 4K, you need 4K format, otherwise, it won't be good.
Personally, it doesn't bother me and I don't plan to go for more expensive subscriptions, bluray, etc. 2K is just fine.
But in gaming, this is not the case at all. Because the rendering is done at that moment and is native for the resolution, it looks very good. I've tried 4K and didn't see a difference.
Otherwise, I was amazed by the colors coming from TN and the blacks are not so bad. The truth is it has IPS glow, meaning when the screen is black, it lights up quite a bit in the corners, especially in the upper left, while in the center it's a little better. At least in the first few days, it bothered me mainly due to excitement and expectations. Now I don't even see it. In fact, if you told me it "settled" due to use, I would believe it.
Probably everything is getting used to (except for the screen tearing :) which it doesn't have at all and that's why I chose it.
Until the prices drop on OLED, this is my monitor of choice and it's very good.
If you're not into gaming at all and don't even have a good PC, go for 4K instead.
If you're a gamer, get it. If you do a little bit of everything but can't decide, get it.
P.S.
Also, I shouldn't forget. The ergonomics of the stand.
10/10 I can put it exactly where I want it to be, even if I'm standing and it's very convenient.
If you have another monitor with the classic stand that has only one position, just buy one like this.
