The Philips 273V7QDAB is a simple, no-frills display for those users that just want a smart-looking monitor with decent all-round image quality.
Its use of a narrow-border design gives it a slim, smart look and its IPS LCD panel produces largely good image quality in all regards.
You do miss out on a huge variety of connectivity and any extras like a USB hub, while the stand is very basic, but that’s precisely why this display is so cheap.
Meanwhile, those that prefer a sharp, higher resolution display will probably balk at the 1080p resolution on this 27inch panel. But, again, it’s all you’ll get for the money, and for many users the larger image will be preferable.
As for gamers, this isn’t the monitor to make a beeline for. Its fine for single-player and other non-competitive games but for anything fast-paced you’ll want to step up to a faster refresh rate screen.
For a solid, all-round monitor at a good price, though, the Philips 273V7QDAB is worth buying. You can get one for £151.22 from CCL HERE.
Pros:
- Good overall image quality.
- High contrast for IPS display.
- Stylish design.
- Reasonable value.
Cons:
- Weak plastic stand.
- Brightness uniformity quite poor.
- Not great for gaming.
KitGuru says: It’s nothing flashy but the Philips 273V7QDAB is a perfectly capable general purpose monitor with good out of the box image quality.
