A recurring problem I’ve had with HDR gaming monitors lately is that they don’t seem to be able to do HDR levels of brightness at the same time as HDR levels of colour. Whether it’s the ludicrously expensive Nvidia G-Sync HDR-enabled Acer Predator X27 or the cheap as chips BenQ EW277HDR, there’s always been some sort of compromise involved. Sometimes it’s due to a limitation in the hardware – the BenQ’s maximum brightness simply isn’t as high as the Acer’s, for example – but other times it feels like you’re wrestling with a naughty child (or cat, whichever you prefer) that flatout refuses to do what it’s told, making it even more frustrating when you happened to have paid through the nose for it.
The beautifully parsable and succinctly-named Philips 276E9QJAB isn’t an HDR monitor per se, but at least it’s upfront about what it’s trying to achieve. Instead of setting itself up for disappointment by jumping on the same HDR bandwagon as everyone else, Philips describe this 27in, 1920×1080, 75Hz FreeSync screen as an ‘ultra wide colour’ display, and man alive is it WIDE.
