Overview

• Philips’ Brilliance 27E3U7903 targets creatives with a 27-inch 5K IPS display, Thunderbolt 4 in/out with up to 96 W charging, a 5 MP webcam, Smart KVM, and DisplayHDR 600, priced at €1,159 and due to ship in September 2025.
• Acer’s Nitro XV270X brings 27-inch 5K to gamers at a native 72 Hz with a Dual-Mode option for 2560×1440 at 144 Hz, set at €699 with availability planned for Q2 2026.
• Acer’s Predator X27U F8 uses an OLED panel claimed to hit 540 Hz at WQHD or 720 Hz at 720p, lists DP 2.1, dual HDMI 2.1, and USB‑C 90 W, and is slated to reach market in Q2 2026 for €1,199.
• Four of Acer’s five new gaming monitors incorporate Dual‑Mode (Dynamic Frequency Resolution) that lowers resolution to raise refresh rates, a capability now recognized by a VESA logo.
• Both new 27-inch 5K models report about 218 ppi and roughly 2000:1 contrast, which journalists interpret as pointing to IPS Black‑class panels and a likely new panel supply that could enable more 5K offerings.
