Overview

The Asus ZenScreen Smart MS27UC is a 27-inch IPS monitor built around single-cable laptop setups, with 90 W of USB-C power delivery. It offers 4K UHD resolution, 163 ppi pixel density, 350 nits typical brightness (400 nits peak), 1000:1 static contrast and 99% sRGB coverage. The panel refreshes at 40–60 Hz, quotes 5 ms response and supports Adaptive-Sync. Inputs include 1× HDMI 2.0, 1× DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C 90 W and 2× USB-A. The stand tilts only. 2 × 5 W speakers are built in, and it weighs 6 kg with the stand. It suits laptop users who want one-cable docking at the desk. The main trade-off: capped at 60 Hz, so fast games will not feel as smooth.
