Buying tips
- Check the USB-C wattage: 65 W is enough for most laptops, 90 W for bigger ones.

Questions and answers
1440p or 4K at 27 inches?
1440p is great for gaming and general use. 4K gives sharper text and suits Macs and photo work, but needs a stronger GPU for games.
Do I need USB-C?
It is very handy with a laptop: one cable for image, USB and charging. For a desktop PC, DisplayPort or HDMI is enough.
Is 60 Hz fine for office work?
Yes, but 100 Hz or more makes scrolling noticeably smoother and costs little extra today.
