Yes for me it will be annoying lol. I will wait for the new ASD 2 due out, according to rumours. I want mini LED as for my use it is better, OLED is best but again with my use pointless as they will get burn in.
Got a tip for us?

Acer has a dual-mode 27" 5K on the way, 72Hz/144Hz:
https://news.acer.com/acer-refreshe...werful-new-pcs-and-displays-for-casual-gamers
See the specs for the Nitro XV270X at the end of the press release, announced Q1 2026 release, price = US$899, €699, CN¥4999.
It’s DisplayHDR 400, with 2000:1 (native) contrast and 95% P3 gamut.
I’m not sure what “DFR” means in the specs, but Google AI tells me it stands for “Dynamic Frequency & Resolution” — a term invented by LG Display for this dual-mode capability. See this article (about OLED, but the concept applies to IPS Black as well):
https://news.lgdisplay.com/en/2024/...echnology-a-new-standard-for-gaming-monitors/
Here’s a good quote from the introduction: “While it is theoretically possible for a monitor to achieve high refresh rate and resolution simultaneously, most games are divided into genres that require either high refresh rate or high resolution, which is why it was deemed more efficient to develop the DFR technology. There was also demand from consumers who wanted to use their monitors for things outside of gaming, such as watching movies and office work, which also prompted us to develop a gaming OLED panel that features variable resolution.”

Correct: 72Hz at 5K (QQHD) and 144Hz at 1440p (QHD). The advance specs don’t say anything about 1080p or 720p, but it seems likely they’re also supported — the only question would be at what refresh rates.
The first post is the best the thread contributors know about 27 " 5K monitors. They are all IPS of one form or another.
Looks great. I wish there were display models in the stores so that I could compare it to the ASD. I could buy ASD for the same price Philips is offering theirs, but adjustability + HDMI output is really swaying me towards the Brilliance. I wonder how good the webcam and speakers are, I know the webcam is pretty subpar in the ASD. I'd go as far as to say it's almost as bad as the one in my decade+ old Cinema Displaynot watched yet, but more discussion on Philips 5K and review coming soon

If you can still get your hands on a Dell UP2715K (but note: it must be connected with 2x DisplayPort), which costs around €350 used, then I would recommend it because the image is still great, the monitor has a glossy screen, and the anti-glare coating is very good!
The WikiPost (#1) for this thread is currently being maintained. Unless you can find a sale on one of the global brands, the Kuycon G27X SE through Alibaba is a reliable way to go (shipping is free on first order).
This is because the older 5K monitors (and iMacs) were using plasma deposited anti reflection coating
Glass, Glossy, Matte & Plasma Deposition Coatings Part 1 — Steemit
There are multiple kinds of glass, glossy and matte coatings. Plasma Deposition Coating is a treated glass coating… by ncx
Whereas Kuycon, and maybe Philips, are using electroplated AR coatings. Even the new 4.5K iMac seems not as a good as the older iMacs to my eyes.
