As much as we like to yearn for ultra-wide high refresh rate or 4K monitors, in reality for most of us, this is beyond our budget, both in terms of the monitor price and the PC required to run it. If you are a gamer on a budget, then 1080p is still your best bet,…
Dell is one of the first companies to release 4K HDR monitors to the market. The UP2718Q that I have been loaned to review is one of 2 models that have HDR and is the one with the best HDR credential, and price to match. Costing an eye-watering £1,200 this is aimed squarely at professionals,…
The past 2 weeks I have been using the Acer XF270HUA 27″ monitor for my main screen, which is an AMD FreeSync enabled IPS display that can run at 144Hz with a resolution of 2560×1440. It is priced at £499.99 making it quite affordable for its specification. Based on a brief amount of research I…
The Dell UltraSharp U2518D appears to be the successor to Dells universally praised U2515H, and I have been reviewing the monitor the past 2 weeks. The U2518D employs a similar InfinityEdge bezel as the recently reviewed XPS 13 hybrid making it physically quite small for a 25” monitor. It runs at 2560 x 1440 at…
My previous AOC and Philips reviews have all been for quite expensive monitors and as much as I would like to own an AGON AG271QG I personally can’t quite justify the expense. I am sure this is also the case for many others. For me, I want a 27in 2560 x 1440 monitor as one…
Following on from my review of the excellent ultrawide monitor from Philips, I have been sent the Philips 328P6VJEB. This is a 32” 4k screen which at the moment costs £574.99 on Scan and is the cheapest 32” 4K screen that I can find on the market. The full specification includes: Manufacturer Philips Model Brilliance…
Following my review of the impressive AOC 27” AGON gaming monitor, I have been sent the Philips Brilliance 34” ultra wide to review. This is the flagship model from Philips and is visually stunning. The 34-inch screen is ultra wide giving you a 21:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 3440 x 1440 using and…
I have worked in web development for years, and while I am aware of monitor calibration, and the need for it in the graphic design industry, I have never actually tried it out until recently, thanks to Datacolor and their Spyder5 device. The Spyder5 is a hardware device that plugs in via USB that can…
The ViewSonic XG2700-4K is one of the new gaming orientated monitors from ViewSonic with a 27-inch IPS display running at 4K and with AMD FreeSync. Priced at just £479.99 on Amazon it is a very tempting monitor based on the specifications. The monitor is very easy to set up you just insert the stand into…
Acer have been focussing heavily on their gaming orientated products recently. I had the pleasure of trying out several of the Predator products during the #AcerLiveBlog2016 even in Belfast last month, and the past two weeks I have had the Predator Z35 monitor at my office to review. The Predator monitors are without a doubt…
Acer have been jumping on the 4k PC monitor tend big this year, they have released several models including the impressive looking S277HK and XB280HK. The former is a beautiful slim bezel 27″, which I think is the only slim bezel on the market and sells for around £530. The XB280HK is designed for gamers…
