Alogic 27" UHD 4K Monitor (landscape/portrait modes) w/ Extras - $450

CONDITION

I used this monitor for a little more than a year, and it’s still in excellent condition. No screen blemishes, no damaged pixels. Text and images are extremely sharp/clear. The only damage I can see on the metal components is a nick on the base plate.

BUILD

The monitor consists of 3 connecting pieces: the display, the base, and the connecting column. The column clicks into place over the VESA port on the back of the monitor, and then the column screws into the base. [You can remove the stand and attach the monitor to a 100x100 VESA desk/wall mount if you prefer.]

ADJUSTMENTS

The display can rotate 90°, allowing it to function in both landscape and portrait orientations and any diagonal angle in between. It can tilt upward, and the height is adjustable by sliding the display up and down the column. Despite it being very easy to move the display (and I’m kind of a lightweight), it stays perfectly in place after moving it to the desired position. Buttons on the bottom right of the display operate the on-screen display.

OSD (on-screen display)

Buttons under the lip of the screen navigate the controls for brightness, contrast, color profile, blue light on/off, DCR, HDR, PIP, PBP mode (1:1, 2:1, or 1:2), gravity sensor on/off, volume, and sleep options.

GLARE

Although Alogic describes the screen as anti-glare, it suffers from the usual characteristics of glossy screens: try to avoid placing sources of light directly behind you, and increase the screen’s brightness if you do.

PORTS

All the ports are in the back, with two of them lying directly behind the column in a bit of poor design management. If you use the DisplayPort connection or both HDMI connections, you may need to bend those cables more than you might like.

CABLES

The original cables are included. The HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB A-to-B cables are all new and 1.5-m-long. The 1-m-long USB C-to-C has been used. There are two power cables as well, one which handles standard U.S. sockets.

DISPLAY

Maximum resolution is 3840x2160 (landscape—2160x3840 in portrait) @ 60Hz; the dimensions are 14.6” H x 24.6” W x 2.2” D with a 0.5” bezel on all four sides. This piece weighs 10.5 lbs.

BASE

This measures 8.5” W x 8.9” D (the front of the base lies 2.2” in front of the display’s screen), and weighs 6.3 lbs.)

ADJUSTIBILITY

You can rotate the screen 90° into a portrait orientation (I found it very useful when I had to read through lots of documents). You can also tilt it upward 15° and change the height—distance between bottom of display and stand—from 1.6” to 6.7”.

PORTS

2 HDMI (2.1), 1 DisplayPort (1.4), 2 USB-A, 1 USB-B, 1 USB-C, and 1 3.5mm audio jack.

In addition, I’m including a like-new velvet dust cover [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBGP1PG8?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1]; an open box of unused corner protectors which leave no residue upon removal (I used them to prevent the cover from possibly being damaged by the display's corners) [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN78XVRF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1]; a used, reversible matte/glossy privacy shield that I bought to handle the glare in my brightly-lit office (I held it in place with some strips of black painter’s tape (again, no residue); and a used, plastic monitor stand.

The adjustable stand is made of plastic/polystyrene and supports up to 80 lbs. The outside of the top are slightly rounded (width: 15” in the middle, tapering down to 14" at the edges; depth: 12" in the middle, tapering down to 10" at the edges), and the height is adjustable (2 5/8”, 4 1/4”, or 5 7/8”) using segmented legs [no direct link; search Amazon for '3M Adjustable Monitor Stand MS80B'].
