Conclusion

The Philips 272P4APJKHB lends itself towards a productivity-focused environment with its abundant connectivity options, versatile stand and feature rich software...

Without a doubt the Philips 272P4APJKHB serves a very specific type of user - someone who regularly works with Adobe applications and demands a high level of colour reproduction and accuracy, while other professionals involved in colour-sensitive content creation can also benefit from these features. The Philips 272P4APJKHB lends itself towards a productivity-focused environment with its abundant connectivity options, versatile stand and feature-rich software.

The average user will, in most cases, be better served by more affordable 27in 1440p monitors that can be had for as little as half the price of the Philips 272P4APJKHB; around £275 in comparison to £600. The extra mark-up over these more affordable options is only justified for a particular audience so prospective buyers should carefully consider the available options. That said, Philips still demonstrates the productivity potential of a 27-inch 1440p monitor when executed properly, meaning there's little to complain about with the 272P4APJKHB aside from a lack of a card-reader and somewhat mediocre uniformity performance.
