Tips & Recommendations
Ergonomic Setup
Position your 27" monitor at arm's length (20-26 inches). The top of the screen should be at or slightly below eye level to reduce neck strain.
Eye Care
Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Enable blue light filter in the evening to improve sleep quality.
Productivity Layout
Your 27" screen supports comfortable side-by-side windows. Use Windows Snap or macOS Split View to maximize multitasking efficiency.
Gaming Performance
A 27" monitor is ideal for competitive gaming—you can see the entire screen without moving your head. Enable any "Game Mode" to reduce input lag.
Display Scaling
At 109 PPI, consider 125% scaling for comfortable text size. This maintains sharpness while improving readability at typical desk distances.
