- Is 1080p sharp enough on a 27-inch screen?
- It is usable for documents and web work, but text is noticeably softer than on a 24-inch Full HD or a 27-inch QHD monitor. If you read small type all day, a higher-resolution panel is the better fit.
- Does the stand adjust for height and portrait mode?
- Yes. It tilts, raises and lowers, and pivots 90 degrees into portrait, which is rare on budget office monitors. It also has VESA holes if you prefer an arm.
- Does it have speakers or a headphone jack?
- There are no built-in speakers. It has a headphone output but no 3.5 mm audio input, so sound comes from your computer or external speakers.
- What can I connect through the USB hub?
- Two USB ports are available for a keyboard, mouse or flash drive. Video comes in over HDMI or DisplayPort 1.2, and there is no Ethernet or VGA.
- Is it good for gaming?
- No. The 5 ms response time and standard refresh rate suit office work, not fast games. Gamers should look at a high-refresh panel.
- How does it compare with BenQ's GW2780?
- The GW2786TC adds a USB hub and full height and pivot adjustment over the plainer GW2780. Both share the same 27-inch Full HD IPS panel, so sharpness and contrast are similar.
