    ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV

    6.9/10verdict: buy

    The ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV is a 27-inch 1440p IPS monitor for people who care about colour accuracy, such as photo editors. It suits a single-cable laptop desk, with USB-C at 65W, a four-port USB hub and a fully adjustable stand. It is less suited to HDR, dark-room viewing or fast games.

    BenQ GW2790QT

    6.4/10verdict: good, not the best

    The BenQ GW2790QT is a 27 inch 1440p IPS monitor for people who want to dock a laptop over a single USB-C cable. It suits desk setups that need a USB hub, 65W charging and an adjustable stand more than fast motion. It is a sensible fit for office, admin and development work on a laptop.

    Dell Pro 27 Plus FHD USB-C Monitor - P2725HE

    6.2/10verdict: good, not the best

    The Dell P2725HE is for people who want one cable between a laptop and a desk full of peripherals. It suits office and admin work where a USB-C hub, wired Ethernet and daisy-chaining matter more than pixel density. It is a poor fit for anyone who reads small text all day or wants a sharper panel.

    ARZOPA Z1FC 16.1 inch Portable Monitor

    5.8/10verdict: good, not the best

    The Arzopa Z1FC is a 16.1-inch portable second screen for people who carry a laptop and want smoother motion than 60Hz. It suits general desk work, media and casual gaming over colour-critical jobs. It is a better fit for those who value 144Hz and portability than for those who want high resolution or accurate colour.

    Yodoit PTM15

    5.3/10verdict: good, not the best

    The Yodoit PTM15 is a 15.6-inch portable second screen for people who want to add a display to a laptop with a single USB-C cable. It suits anyone who reads terminals, logs, documents or dashboards and values a light, slim screen that is easy to carry. It is a poor fit for gaming, fixed desk setups or laptops without a USB-C port that supports video.
