Is this monitor good for gaming?

It handles casual gaming, but the 60 Hz refresh rate and lack of adaptive sync make it a poor fit for fast competitive play. Gamers are better served by a high-refresh panel.

Does it work with a Mac?

Yes. It connects over HDMI or DisplayPort, so it works with Macs and PCs that have those outputs. Macs with only USB-C need an adapter or cable.

Is 27 inches too small for 4K?

No. At 27 inches, 4K gives very sharp text and fine detail, which suits editing and reading. Some users prefer scaling the interface up for comfort.

The monitor and its stand are included. Check the listing for which cables ship with it, since HDMI and DisplayPort cables are not always bundled.

Can I mount it on a monitor arm?

The monitor uses a standard VESA mount pattern, so most monitor arms and wall mounts fit. Confirm the pattern before buying an arm.

Our take on the Samsung S27H804EAN 27" Class 4K UHD LCD Monitor

The Samsung S27H804EAN is a 27-inch 4K UHD monitor with an IPS panel, 3840 x 2160 resolution and 178-degree viewing angles. It runs at 60 Hz with 350 nits of brightness and a 1,000:1 native contrast ratio, and it connects over HDMI and DisplayPort. It suits desk work, photo and video editing, and general productivity where sharp text and accurate color across wide angles matter more than fast gaming refresh rates. Against rivals, it offers the solid color and viewing angles of IPS at 4K, but its 60 Hz panel and modest brightness put it behind high-refresh and HDR-focused monitors.
