Skyworth B40Q office experience review: Starting from 1,299 yuan, perfect for office work

For you, what are the most important parameters when buying a monitor?

For gamers, the most important parameters of a monitor must be resolution, refresh rate and response time. Higher resolution means more refined picture performance, and lower response time means lower operating delay. Whether it is FPS games, MOBA games, chicken games or racing games, they all require a higher refresh rate. Provide smoother picture effects.

However, not all computers are used for playing games. For those professionals who only have office needs, they generally only use monitors to build dual screens, or connect an external monitor to thin and light notebooks, such as 240Hz, 1ms response time, G-Sync, HDR1000, partitioned backlight, These parameters of NANO-IPS do not have much effect, but only increase the cost.

So the question is, what should an excellent office monitor look like?

Skyworth F27B40Q is A brand new product of Skyworth's office monitor series, this machine is equipped with a 2K resolution IPS panel. In addition to excellent color performance, it also achieves the low color difference level found only in professional-grade monitors. It is paired with a metal integrated mid-frame art glass cover. The unique appearance design not only meets the office needs of ordinary users, but also makes the entire office environment neat and tidy.

By coincidence, this new monitor product has arrived at the Lei Technology office. Next, let Xiao Lei bring you a detailed evaluation of this Skyworth F27B40Q.

Design: Metal middle frame glass cover

Let’s take a look at the front design first. Skyworth F27B40Q uses three It has a narrow bezel design, and the Skyworth LOGO is printed on the bottom bezel. This front design is similar to many office monitors today. The low-key, smooth lines and dark gray metal middle frame jointly create a classic business product shape.

Turn to the back , you can see that this product adopts a rare glass back panel design. There is a Skyworth LOGO in the middle of the back panel, which will glow when the phone is turned on. After merging with the glossy glass, it reveals a hazy atmosphere. . Among the thousand-yuan monitors I have seen, the design of this product is indeed relatively simple and eye-catching.

Regarding the bracket, In order to ensure the integrity of product design, Skyworth F27B40Q is equipped with an integrated metal bracket. The advantage of this bracket is that it has a very unified look and feel, and it has reserved large cable management holes, leaving a convenient basis for users to route cables. The disadvantage is that the adjustment ability is very poor, except for up and down (-5°-15 °) Except for pitch adjustment, operations such as lifting and rotating are not possible.

For office workers who sit at a desk for a long time, a comfortable screen viewing angle is an important part of a good work experience. Due to the limitation of the bracket, users of Skyworth F27B40Q can only adjust the viewing angle by raising it, carrying it, etc., which will indeed affect the user's office experience to a certain extent. I hope Skyworth can make improvements in future products.

The OSD control method of this product is a rocker type. The rocker is set on the right rear of the monitor. The user can easily control the control by sitting in front of the monitor and extending his right hand. Control with several buttons. In addition, if the user feels that the joystick-type operation is still not intuitive enough, you can also connect a wired mouse/wireless mouse receiver to the monitor to operate the OSD menu, which makes the operation simpler and more direct.

In terms of interface, From left to right are HDMI 1.4, DP 1.2, Type-C, two USB-A interfaces and the power interface. Except for the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, the interface settings of this product are relatively comprehensive, especially the full-featured Type-C interface, which can transmit video signals in addition to 65W power supply, making it more convenient to connect mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. , no need to use an additional HDMI cable.

Accessories of the machine There is a power adapter, an HDMI cable and a Type-C cable. Perhaps to ensure the thin and light design of the body, the power supply adopts a traditional external design with a maximum output power of 120W.

Screen test: 2K HDR400

As a monitor, display effect is a very important product parameter. Skyworth F27B40Q is equipped with a 2K 75Hz IPS screen, nominal 130% sRGB color gamut, HDR400, and supports Adaptive Sync synchronization technology. We connected the computer with the included HDMI cable, adjusted the screen to 2K 75Hz, and then used the Spider-X color corrector to see the specific performance of this screen.

First of all, in terms of color gamut, the measured color gamut of this screen covers 100% of sRGB, 91% of Adobe RGB and 93% of P3 color gamut. The larger the color gamut value of the monitor, the more colors the monitor can display, and the richer the colors that pictures and videos can display. Although there are certain differences between the color gamut parameters of this product and professional monitors dedicated to art and design, it is enough Meet daily office needs.

In the tone response test, the tone curve of Skyworth F27B40Q almost coincides with the gamma 2.2 curve, and the gray scale response is excellent. In terms of color temperature performance, the color temperature of this product is concentrated between 6800-7000K, which is slightly higher than the standard 6500K. The overall display effect is bluish, but the brightness will be higher.

The static contrast ratio is up to 1000:1, and the overall white point is well controlled. very nice. From personal experience, the maximum brightness of more than 400 nits will basically not appear dark when used in daily static environments.

To summarize, The display performance of Skyworth F27B40Q is generally at an upper-middle level, with relatively excellent color gamut performance and color accuracy. However, there is still room for improvement in color temperature performance. Positioning as an office monitor basically meets its starting point and the needs of expected usage scenarios. .

Actual experience: office and movie-watching assistant

In daily browsing the web, the brightness of Skyworth F27B40Q is It's enough. Web browsing with a 75Hz refresh rate is smooth enough. At the same time, the sharp font display brought by 2K image quality also makes the overall picture performance much higher than that of mainstream 1080P monitors, making the look and feel better when working at work.

A company owned by Adobe Photoshop is currently the most widely used photo retouching software. We tried to use this monitor to perform color correction and color adjustment on pictures. Skyworth F27B40Q’s rich color gamut and precise color performance can correct the color transition and subtle color differences of pictures. All are retained, leaving enough space for later color grading work.

Thanks to With good color and brightness performance, the viewing experience of Skyworth F27B40Q is also very good. Xiaolei used it to play Panasonic 4K demonstration clips and this season's popular show "Lycoris Recoil". The pictures were colorful and the display effect was really good. It is worth noting that this monitor itself does not have speakers. If you want to enjoy audio-visual entertainment during rest time, users still have to bring their own speakers/headphones.

It may be because office workers work in front of computers for long periods of time, and their eyes can easily become dry and tired. In addition to blue light protection and DC dimming, Skyworth F27B40Q also adds a "reading mode" function. After turning on the reading mode, the screen will automatically switch to black and white mode, which can avoid excessive color stimulation of the eyes. It feels good to use when editing text.

In addition, this product also has a built-in ambient light sensor. Users can set the screen in the OSD to adjust the screen brightness and color temperature in real time according to the environment. From the actual experience, there is a certain delay in the function of adjusting the brightness according to the ambient light. Within a few seconds after the light in the room is pressed, the screen brightness will slowly drop to a more comfortable range. As for the effect of adjusting the color temperature according to the ambient light, it is more subtle, and the overall picture will appear bluish.

After actual experience, Skyworth F27B40Q has a very good experience in office and movie viewing. Not only the screen display effect is clearer and more delicate, but also the unique eye protection function is also It can relieve users' eye fatigue to a certain extent and is enough to meet the various needs of work and audio-visual entertainment in life.

Summary: High-quality office monitor

##Advantages:

1. Metal Mid-frame glass cover, outstanding product design;

2. Supports full-featured Type-C interface;

3. Excellent screen color gamut, color accuracy and brightness;

Shortcomings:

1. Compared with products at the same price, it lacks high refresh rate support;

2. The integrated bracket supports adjustment There are too few angles; The high-quality 2K IPS screen panel and the introduction of the full-featured Type-C interface are also a very practical design, which is enough to make this product a productivity tool for many self-media and e-commerce studios.

Of course, we cannot deny that the 75Hz refresh rate is slightly weak among products in the same price range, and the existence of the integrated bracket limits the use scenarios of this product. If you have high requirements for product design quality and screen color performance, and are not very concerned about high refresh rates, screen cantilevers, etc., then Skyworth F27B40Q can definitely meet all your expectations for an office monitor.
