A good monitor is essential for your PC setup. It’s important to get a good monitor based on your requirements such as gaming, editing, productivity, or casual usage. A 27-inch monitor is ideal as it isn’t too big or too small. This size is also good enough for activities like gaming and editing videos and photos.
Choosing the right monitor can be a challenging and stressful task as there are a lot of options, features and specifications to take into consideration. To help you, we have curated a list best 27-inch monitors to buy in India in 2022.
How we do our research
Our ranking criteria
We consider each monitor's features, including screen resolution, screen size, energy efficiency, design, the technology used, number of ports, sound output, video output and more. Additionally, we also consider other factors such as price and brand.
Things to look for while buying
Screen size and resolution
When it comes to the monitor size, bigger is not always better – you have to take pixel density into account. Pixel density is a pixel-per-inch ratio of the monitor’s size and resolution. If a gaming monitor has low pixel density then the image and video will look pixelated, meaning there will be limited screen space and a lack of details. The ideal resolution of a 27-inch monitor is 2560 x 1440 pixels, which results in a pixel density of ~109 pixels per inch. This means you get the perfect amount of screen space and details without any scaling issues.
Response time
The other thing to consider is response time. It means how long it takes each pixel to change from one setting to another. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). Look for sub-5ms response time, but getting it low to 2ms and 1ms is even better. A higher refresh rate with a fast response time will give you the best viewing experience.
Types of panels
Choosing the right type of panel is important but as long as you get the other specs right, you don’t have to worry about panel type.
IPS
IPS or In-Plane Switching panels offer good colour reproduction with fast response time and good contrast. They can be a little expensive.
TN
Twisted Nematic panels have a faster response time and higher refresh rate. They are not good when it comes to colour rendering and viewing angles.
VA
Vertical alignment panels offer decent contrast but lose out on game-critical performance when compared to TN and IPS panels.
