![]() ![]() Color accuracy and color gamut: For any kind of photo, video, or graphics work, a monitor’s color accuracy ensures that your images look the way you intend them to when they appear on another screen or in print.Having a good contrast ratio is a little more important than having accurate color-you can often fix inaccurate color after the fact by calibrating the monitor yourself, but a poor contrast ratio is harder to address. A contrast ratio of 1000:1 or higher (note that higher is better) is typical of IPS panels. We measure each monitor’s contrast ratio during our testing, instead of relying on the manufacturer’s listing. Contrast ratio: A good contrast ratio makes the dark areas of a screen easier to see when you’re watching a movie or playing a game.Great monitors should also include a USB 3.0 hub so that you can connect peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and webcams, since modern laptops come with fewer and fewer ports of their own. Ports: HDMI and DisplayPort connections are both requirements for any decent 4K monitor, and the best models also include a USB-C port that can send a display signal and charge a connected laptop at the same time.You can buy a high-quality 32-inch model for $700 to $900. Price: An excellent 27-inch 4K monitor should cost less than $700, and a decent budget model should cost $400 or less.Display technology: Your 4K monitor’s display should be IPS, not TN (or VA), because IPS panels provide far better viewing angles and color reproduction. ![]() We didn’t look at any 4K monitors bigger than 32 inches because they occupy too much desk space. Size: A 27-inch monitor is large enough to take advantage of some of 4K’s extra screen resolution yet isn’t too large to use on a desk. ![]()
