Product Information

The cabinet is attached to a vertical shaft—with a hole about halfway up, through which you can route cables—that fits into a rectangular base with a footprint of roughly 9. hub—with one USB upstream port and four USB downstream ports—for charging devices and attaching peripherals.

If you require a 27-inch monitor that gives you more control over color quality while providing excellent performance, check out our Editors' Choice big-screen, midrange monitor, the BenQ SW2700PT. Buttons for controlling the monitor's onscreen display (OSD) menu system are on the panel's lower-right-hand edge, next to the power button. If gaming is your priority, the affordability of gaming-tuned screens with higher refresh rates makes them a much better bet. At the rear of the U2717D's cabinet, facing downward, are two DisplayPort inputs (one full size and one mini), a DisplayPort output for daisy-chaining multiple monitors, an HDMI input, an upstream USB 3. You don't get the advanced 6-Axis-Hue and -Saturation color controls that you get with the BenQ SW2700PT and the Acer Predator XB271HU , and there are no Blue Light settings on this model.A 37-millisecond input lag (the time it takes for the monitor to react to a controller command), which I measured using a Leo Bodnar Video Signal Lag Tester , is at the high end of acceptable lag; our fastest monitors, the BenQ XL2430T and the SW2700PT, measured 9. These aren’t only for cosmetic benefit: you could happily place two of these monitors side by side, perhaps in portrait mode, for an enlarged workspace. The thickest part of the monitor is less than 2cm I believe, and the weight of the panel + the stand feels lighter than my older U2417H. The output is really not too bad for a built in sound, but due to the rolled off bass, I still prefer a dedicated DAC + amp.

I've also written a host of articles about astronomy, space science, travel photography, and astrophotography for PCMag and its past and present sibling publications (among them, Mashable and ExtremeTech), as well as for the PCMag Digital Edition. Colors appeared uniform in the DisplayMate Color Purity and Uniformity tests, and scenes from Marvel's Antman on Blu-ray were rich in color and showed excellent image detail. com and PC Magazine are among the federally registered trademarks of Ziff Davis and may not be used by third parties without explicit permission.

This hugely simplifies a desk setup as you can power the monitor via the single power cable (there’s no external power brick) and then use USB Type-C to both transmit data and charge laptops that need a maximum of 65W. The sound bar's power light is on, but I can get no sound to play no matter whether I'm testing the speakers with the OS device settings or by playing some music from the HDD through a software music player.

I tested brightness, contrast ratio, and color accuracy using our standard test equipment: a Klein K-10A colorimeter, a Murideo Six-G signal generator, and Portrait Displays' Calman 5 display-calibration software. It’s like a superpowered version of Windows Snap and genuinely saves time once you get used to the way it works. The U2719D gets top marks for ergonomic twisting, providing height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustment. I had hoped that activating it might increase the coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, but in fact it only covered 68.Over the years, I have reviewed iPad and iPhone science apps, plus the occasional camera, laptop, keyboard, and mouse.
