The mobile phone market is very seriously involved, and now the flagship machine has popularized the 2K +120Hz screen. However, whenever I finish using the phone and then look at my 1080P 60Hz computer screen, there is always a sense of separation of the experience, and the resolution, color, brightness, and refresh rate of the monitor are all lagging behind the flagship phone. However, recently the author got the ANT27VU monitor of Ant E-sports, a high-end e-sports brand of Huike, which is also my first experience of high-end e-sports displays, and after half a month, I can't go back at all!
Accessories & Mounting
Like most displays, ant ANT27VU uses cartons and foam packaging, and some accessories are stuffed in the back grooves of the foam, and the protection is still good. Take out the accessories and see at a glance: DP cable, HMDI cable, power adapter, monitor stand and two foot rests.
The back of the display and the bracket are treated with a coarse frosted texture, which has the advantage of not being easy to stain fingerprints, and the back of the entire display adopts a shape similar to the ant tentacles, and its "fighting feeling" can be felt before it is installed.
In addition, the overall workmanship of Ant Esports ANT27VU is quite solid, and the two foot rests are made of metal, weighing up to 404 grams, providing a very strong load-bearing capacity. And the bottom of the foot rest is also made of two non-slip rubber feet, so that the monitor is not easy to slide off. From these details, it can be felt that Ant E-sports really cares.
The installation process is also relatively simple, only need to use four screws to fix the foot rest and bracket, and then the interface between the bracket and the monitor is stuck to complete the installation.
Appearance and functionality
I can only say four words about the appearance of this monitor: full of faith, because the whole design revolves around the logo of Ant Esports. For example, the RGB atmosphere light of the two most conspicuous ant eyes on the back after the power is energized, and the logo light of the ant e-sports at the top.
There is also a projection of an ant on the desktop, coupled with the angular shape of the entire display. Such a design reminds me all the time that I should hurry up and start a game, full of combat!
Whether the angle is adjustable is a very important feature of the monitor but is often overlooked. Because if the angle is not adjustable, whether it is looking down or looking up at the monitor, it will cause cervical spine problems over time. Ant E-sports gives four unique adjustment functions of up and down lift, high and low pitch, left and right rotation and horizontal and vertical switching, which greatly expands the use scenarios of this monitor. For example, I can put it up and use it as an extended second screen. Whether it's writing code or editing text, it's much more efficient.
The interface is also very rich, a power input, 2 HDMI2.1 interface, 1 DP1.4 interface and 2 USB interfaces, in addition to a 3.5mm audio output interface, as well as a C port, this C port can output 15W of power, through the C-C cable to mobile phones, headphones and other common devices to charge, or very convenient.
Screen quality
Light up the screen, the biggest feeling is delicate, transparent, comfortable, and the color performance is just right, and will not be like other monitors, in order to please the eyeball deliberately oversaturated color grading. In this landscape map, even the tiles on the roof and the gap stitching of the distant wall tiles can be perfectly restored.
As can be seen from this Transformers wallpaper, the visual impact of the overall picture is very strong. The reddish chain in the hand is a little dazzling, while the dark part can be completely darkened and the details can be perfectly restored, and the dynamic range of the whole picture is very good, not as plain as the ordinary display.
In this fighter jet picture, the white background is very transparent and the gradient of the sky from yellow to blue is preserved. In addition, the light and dark light and shadow of the fighter fuselage illuminated by the sun are quite in place, giving people the feeling that the fighter jet is flying out of the screen in front of the eyes.
This is a 4K 144Hz high-quality LCD screen from AUO, which uses DC dimming at full brightness, which is quite eye-protecting. And its full-screen maximum brightness is as high as 450 nits, and supports DisPlay HDR 400 certification, support 100% sRGB, 95% P3 wide color gamut coverage, has such a stunning display effect.
In addition, the official said that the maximum viewing angle reached 178 °, the measured view of the screen at a viewing angle of nearly 180 °, the screen still did not have the problem of color casts, and the display effect was still very stunning. It can be said that the quality of this monitor has been fully aligned with the quality of the top mobile phone screen.
Ant Esports ANT27VU has an OSD rocker button on the back, which can be pressed to enter the menu interface, and the direct flick of the rock can achieve quick operation. In the menu interface can be adjusted to the display brightness, color, scene and other configurations, it is worth mentioning that it also supports freeSync Premium function, after opening can effectively improve the fluency of the screen, there will be no tearing of the game screen, is definitely one of the most practical features of the game party.
Interestingly, Ant Esports ANT27VU has a function called "Game Crosshair" in the game accessibility function, and after opening, a crosshair will always appear in the center of the screen, which is simply the physical plug-in of the gunfight game.
However, I need to complain that I personally think that the menu logic is still a bit confusing, such as "game mode" and "game assist" should be merged into one, and "preset mode" should be classified as "display" menu. It is also recommended that the joystick quick operation be changed to a high-frequency operation such as "Adjust Brightness", or it can be customized by the user, which is more convenient. In addition, the "footprint" of the screen bracket is larger, and the depth of the monitor is about 35 cm, so if your desktop width is less than 80cm, then the monitor is too close to the eye, and it is recommended to use it with a wider table.
summary
As a high-end display with a 3000 yuan file, Ant Esports ANT27VU gives an ultra-high-quality 27-inch 4K 144Hz screen, while having excellent color, brightness, viewing angle, and excellent look and feel. In addition, there is a very religious design and lighting blessing, as well as very good materials and workmanship. The fly in the ointment is that the menu is not user-friendly enough, and there are requirements for the width of the desktop.
In short, if you are a heavy game party, and want to start a monitor to take care of audio and video, office, then Ant Esports ANT27VU This monitor is indeed a one-step choice, in the foreseeable next 5 years this monitor will not be obsolete at all, is currently in the special offer, you can rest assured to start.
