The 27-inch 60Hz 5K IPS screen delivers 217 pixels per inch (PPI) — just one pixel per inch shy of the pricier options. Who knew that there was a color-accurate, pixel-dense display out there that won’t send creators or the 5K-curious among us into extreme debt?<\/p>

The H27P3 may be worth considering if you just need a good screen. Just know that this is not a premium device. Its design looks like my budget-friendly gaming monitor, it has a limited port selection (and speed) that pales in comparison to pricier models, and its clumsy onscreen menus make accessing its marquee features more difficult than it should be.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

The H27P3 has one HDMI 2.0 port, one DisplayPort 1.4 input, and one USB-C input for power (up to 65W PD passthrough) and video. All video inputs support 5K at 60Hz via display stream compression (DSC) except HDMI, which is limited to 4K \/ 60Hz due to bandwidth limitations. The monitor also has two USB-A 3.0 ports and a headphone jack for audio over HDMI and USB-C. KTC advertises that this model has a KVM switch — enabling the feature requires you to dive once again into the cursed OSD — but it’s not really a KVM switch in the sense that it lets you control multiple connected computers with a single mouse and keyboard. It’s just a USB hub, adding a couple USB-A ports to plug in extra accessories, like a mouse dongle and an SSD.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

This part seems fine to me. Even the Studio Display isn’t a good hub. I don’t think it makes sense to combine that functionality with a display.<\/p>\n\n

The weird thing is that they say its lowest ever price was $355, which is crazy low and I’m 99% sure its never been under $500 (or I probably would’ve bought it to test out).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
