Performance
To test the performance and the colour accuracy of the Phillips 272G5DYEB monitor, I used a device called the Spyder 4 Elite, which is a tool for monitor calibration. It is very accurate and can tell you things the naked eye cannot.
To get started, after the installation and calibration of the Phillips 272G5DYEB, the results are as follows including a description of what each one means and how this relates to the monitor.
So to sum it up in a way everyone will understand, although sRGB and AbodeRGB are both RGB, they are very different. sRGB is the most common colour-space used today but AdobeRGB has a wider colour-space which can mean more colours but not as accurate when looking at colours which overlap on sRGB. This is mainly used for photographers and people just using their monitors for normal tasks such as web browsing or gaming will never need to worry about this.
Relatively speaking, the colour gamut of the Phillips 272G5DYEB is pretty good and the sRGB colour reproduction is pretty much bang on in terms of quality. With this monitor being of such a high pedigree in the 1080p market, it’s nice to see that the Phillips shows its true colours (mind the pun). Obviously these are calibrated properly to show the true performance and although showing uncalibrated would be ideal for some, everyone has different preferences on contrast, colour and room lighting which can effect ones personal visual experience.
In gaming, this monitor is visually stunning and with the added NVIDIA G-Sync element implemented allowing for seamless synchronisation between the monitors 144Hz refresh rate to an NVIDIA graphics card; we used the NVIDIA GTX 980 to test to see how this 27” 144Hz powerhouse can reach its potential. To sum it up, it does in terms of performance, but is it the whole package?
