The Q27B3CF2 stands out with its ultra-narrow bezels, making it an attractive option for setups requiring multiple monitors without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Its 27" IPS panel offers a sharp, vivid display with a 109 ppi pixel density, making details crisp and clear.

1440p on a 27-inch screen doesn't look exactly "crisp and clear".
PPI for 1080p - 24" is 91.79.
PPI for 1440p - 27" is 108.79.
PPI for 2160p - 24" is 183.58.

You average phone's screen PPI is >400.
While the record holder Sony XZ Premium phone features 807 PPI.

The screen is £199.99.. Any screen with DPI close to phone screens would costs hundreds of dollars more atleast. I can assure you 1440p at 27" is quite good for an office environment, especially with the IMO much more important 100hz refresh rate compared to most office screens stuck to 75 or less.

You're comparing smart phone screens to desktop monitor screens. If they made monitor screens with the same pixel density as smart phones, you would end up paying many times more. Also keep in mind that your phone's screen is typically 1 ft.(30.5 cm) or less away from your eyes. It would make no sense from a manufacturing perspective to make much larger & expensive screens with the same pixel density where the user will be viewing it from 2 ft+ away. While greater PPI becomes more important for higher resolutions + bigger screen sizes, eventually you reach a point where a greater PPI only ends up increasing the cost without providing any increased benefit with regards to clarity. Sure, you might be able to sit really close to the monitor screen without seeing pixels, but you're not going to be using it like that when gaming, internet browsing, reading, etc. It just wouldn't make any sense.

Yeah, I agree. I'm on a 27" 1440p screen right now & sit about 2 ft. away from it. A higher PPI monitor would just be more expensive without providing any increase in clarity.

Good, now make another one in 32" 2160p, don't overcharge it, and you have a customer here.

Depends on the office environment, if your job requires high image quality with high level of details, designer tasks, lack of a screen door effect, grainy image, then this is obviously not a monitor for you.
Even worse for home use, where you would need the highest possible image quality, and Apple-style retina-class screens.

This thing here can be approved only for tasks which don't need a direct intense interaction with it too often - light tasks in stores/shops of all types, where you could mark different products that have been bought.

So you want what? 8K 20" displays? And drive that at 100 Hz with office laptop running an iGPU?

24" 1080p screens are de facto standard for office use. 27" 1440p offers higher PPI at 100% scaling, then you have 27" 4K which forces you into using scaling with PPI of 163. Then maybe 4K 32" which still isn't optimal at 100% as recommended is 125% scaling.

Nope. But I would accept 1440p at 20", 2160p at 22-24", 5K at 27", 8K at 32", 10K at 50", etc.

Bad management. I leave such jobs which require from me to work on so low quality screens.

Scaling is Microsoft's fault. It should make 100% to be 2160p at 24", and then scale from there as the base line. Maybe 50% being 1080p at 24".

If you're seeing IPS glow at work then you probably should tell your boss to stop saving on electricity and make sure your working space is well lit.

True, it's terrible in dark rooms.

I will stick with my EIZO CX240 for much longer than i expected, love the ATW-Polarizer.
