If your budget can accommodate a premium gaming monitor, the first consideration should be resolution versus frame rate. The highest resolution currently generally available is 3840x2160 (4K). And a 27-inch panel with that resolution will have very high pixel density at 163ppi. But 4K monitors are currently limited to 144 Hz, while QHD screens can run at 240 Hz. In my experience, motion resolution wins out and I would pick the 240 Hz QHD panel for gaming, assuming I had a sufficiently powerful video card to drive it. But what if an Ultra HD monitor came with a super-clean overdrive that could virtually eliminate motion blur?
The Eve Spectrum ES07D03 is that monitor. It takes all the features found in a high-end 4K display and adds the absolute best overdrive. With 63-step control, I was able to tune it to where there was no ghosting whatsoever and motion blur was nearly nonexistent. Note that I say nearly. I have experienced QHD 240 Hz monitors like the Samsung Odyssey G7 that have no motion blur at all. But the ES07D03 delivers the best blur reduction I've seen on a 4K gaming monitor yet.
With 144 Hz, G-Sync and FreeSync certification, DisplayHDR 600 and a wide color gamut, Eve's monitor flagship hits all the benchmarks set by more expensive displays like Asus’ PG27UQ. What puts it over the top is superb HDR courtesy of the 16-zone dimming edge backlight, accurate factory-calibrated color and that wonderful overdrive. Add in solid build quality and a no-nonsense OSD design and you have a winning combination.
If you’re looking to buy a 4K display in the 27-inch size, the Eve Spectrum ES07D03 has few peers. Definitely check it out.
