Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the Philips 27E1N8900 run at?
The panel shows 3840x2160 pixels across 27 inches, around 163 pixels per inch. That is a 4K definition, roughly 4 times the pixels of a Full HD panel, so text looks sharper at the same display size. The OLED panel delivers perfect blacks, with the usual caveat about burn in on static interfaces.
Is the Philips 27E1N8900 a good monitor for gaming?
Not as a priority. The panel tops out at 60 Hz, enough for office work, video and slow paced games. For fast games, the 144 Hz and higher models in the comparison remain far better suited. The 27 inches at 3840x2160 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
Does the Philips 27E1N8900 have a USB-C connection?
Yes, a USB-C port sits on its connection panel, which keeps the number of desk cables down. Beyond that it offers HDR and a height adjustable stand, but goes without built in speakers and a curved panel. The adjustable stand saves you from adding a riser to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the Philips 27E1N8900 worth 800 euros?
At 800 euros it scores 4.5/5 across 600 Amazon reviews. That is one of the best scores in the category. It sits in the 4K category of our selection. Main strength: OLED panel with exceptional contrast. Main compromise: very high price.
