Another tilting, swivelling 27-inch IPS display, the VP2772 has lovely colours and a 2560x1440 WQHD resolution (four times as many pixels as standard HD video) with pre-set colour calibration. It’s also height-adjustable by up to 15cm. The menu system was rather utilitarian, but almost everything else about this display was highly likeable. Indeed, the only other sour point is the plasticky design. HDMI plus dual DisplayPort connectors are incorporated for daisy-chaining with other devices, while there are four sets of USB ports (including four USB 3.0s).

Pros: A terrific panel with some nice added extras.

Cons: It’s just not very nice-looking, which is a shame.

We say: We loved this display. So crisp, with brilliant colours.

We weren’t so keen on the cheap-looking glossy design of this display, though the touch-buttons work well
