Is 1080p sharp enough on a 27-inch screen?

It is usable for office work, but text looks less crisp than on a 24-inch 1080p screen or a 27-inch 1440p one. If you read dense documents all day, step up to QHD.

Does the IPS panel matter for office work?

Yes. IPS keeps colors and contrast stable when you view from an angle, so a colleague sitting beside you still sees a clear image. TN panels wash out off-axis.

Can I use it for gaming?

Only casually. It runs at 60Hz with no adaptive sync, so fast games show motion blur and screen tearing compared with a gaming monitor.

What connections does it have?

It is a business display with standard video inputs, typically HDMI and DisplayPort. Check the port list for your specific model before ordering cables.

Is it good for photo or video editing?

Not really. Its color coverage and resolution are below what editing work needs. A QHD or 4K panel with wide gamut coverage is the better fit.

Does it work with a Mac?

Yes, over HDMI or DisplayPort with the right cable or adapter. macOS handles the resolution fine, though text scaling is less flexible than on a 4K screen.
