3840 × 2160 pixels on a 27-inch diagonal means roughly one and a half times the pixel density of QHD at the same size. Text looks as smooth as a printed page, photos reveal fine detail, and Windows scaling lets you choose between larger type and more workspace. In games, 4K makes landscapes and distant objects clearer, though it also calls for a more powerful graphics card.
Many 4K monitors run at 60 Hz, but the M27UP ICE refreshes at up to 160 Hz. Motion in games is fluid, scrolling and dragging windows on the desktop are smooth, and the 1 ms response time keeps fast objects sharp. If your graphics card cannot sustain high frame rates at 4K, you can lower the render resolution in games and still enjoy 4K sharpness on the desktop.
SS IPS is a faster variant of the IPS panel: it keeps the even colours and 178° viewing angles typical of IPS while offering a response time suited to gaming. Colours do not shift when you look at the screen from the side, which matters in photo editing and when several people watch the screen at once. The 350 cd/m² brightness and non-glare surface are comfortable indoors.
The monitor has two HDMI ports, DisplayPort and USB-C, five USB ports in total and a headphone jack. USB-C supplies up to 18 W, which is enough to charge a phone or tablet, while a laptop will usually need its own charger. The USB ports take a keyboard, mouse and flash drive, keeping cables on the desk under control. Built-in speakers cover video calls and background sound.
The stand adjusts in height and tilt, swivels to the sides and rotates into portrait mode — on an upright 4K screen a huge number of lines of code or text fit on one page. The monitor measures 61.2 × 51.5 × 19.2 cm with the stand and weighs 6.65 kg. The VESA 100 × 100 mm mount lets you put it on a monitor arm.
Gamers who want 4K sharpness and a high refresh rate in one screen; developers and writers who get a comfortable working view from crisp text and portrait mode; photographers and designers who need a detailed picture and even colours; and home office users who want a monitor with USB ports and speakers that helps keep the desk tidy.
