Though the accuracy of factory-calibrated monitors is generally great, professional calibration can usually improve it. If you’re doing professional image work on the monitor, we recommend either calibrating it yourself or hiring a professional to handle the task. Coverage of the wider DCI-P3 color gamut is also a plus. For the best image quality, your monitor should also cover as much of the sRGB color gamut as possible the more gamut coverage a monitor provides, the wider the range of colors it can accurately represent. Monitors that have been calibrated by their manufacturers offer better color accuracy than monitors that haven’t. For more casual everyday use, you just need color to be accurate enough that web pages, photos, or movies don’t look off because of overly saturated colors or weird color tints. 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. Instead of relying on the manufacturer’s listing, we measured each monitor’s contrast ratio during our testing.

For most people, QHD monitors offer the best combination of detail, usable desktop space, and price. And 4K monitors, while excellent for photo or video work, are much more expensive-this is part of the reason we have a separate guide for them.

For a 27-inch monitor, 1080p is too low a resolution-text and images are likely to be visibly pixelated or blocky. Resolution: The three most common monitor resolutions that we test across all our guides are 1080p, or 1920×1080 Quad HD/QHD, or 2560×1440 and 4K, or 3840×2160.
