This is the reliable middle-ground gaming monitor — 27 inches, sharper than 1080p, fast enough to keep up with competitive shooters. The screen refreshes 165 times per second, which makes motion smooth without needing a graphics card that costs more than your rent. Colors look natural thanks to the IPS panel, and you get two HDMI ports that work with new consoles plus DisplayPort for your PC.
Pixels switch fast enough that you won't see blurry trails in action games, and the size-to-sharpness ratio means you can actually read text without leaning forward. USB-C means you can plug in a laptop for work between gaming sessions, though it won't charge the laptop — just sends picture and connects USB accessories.
The HDR label is on the box but it's basically decoration. Treat this as a regular bright screen and you'll be happy with what you get.
