What you get

With 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) on 27", you get a very high pixel density – the pixel size of 0.1554 mm makes interfaces, text, and details in games super sharp.

The Anti-Glare coating and brightness of 400 cd/m² help against reflections and working in brighter rooms. DisplayPort and USB 3.0 ports give you flexibility for connection to PC and peripherals.
