- Is 5K worth it over 4K at 27 inches?
- Yes, if sharp text matters. At 27 inches, 5K is noticeably denser than 4K, which helps with documents, code and photo editing. For gaming or video, 4K at a higher refresh rate may suit you better.
- Can it charge a MacBook over USB-C?
- Yes. The USB-C port delivers up to 90 W, enough for most 14-inch and 13-inch laptops. Larger 16-inch models may charge slowly under heavy load.
- Does it support HDR?
- It accepts HDR10 signals, but the 350-nit IPS panel has limited contrast, so HDR looks subtle rather than dramatic. Treat it as an SDR-first monitor.
- Is it good for gaming?
- Not really. The 60 Hz refresh rate and 5 ms response time are fine for casual play but not for fast competitive games. High-refresh 1440p or 4K monitors are better choices there.
- What connections does it have?
- It offers USB-C with 90 W charging, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, plus USB hub ports for peripherals. Check the box contents for the cables included.
- Does the stand adjust?
- Yes, the stand supports height, tilt and pivot, and the panel is VESA-compatible for arm mounting. It weighs about 5.4 kg, so check your arm's rating.
