The product, explained
Philips 27B2N3500JH/00 is listed in the computer monitors category. The recorded specifications include display diagonal: 68.6 cm (27"); display resolution: 2560 x 1440 pixels; panel type: IPS; maximum refresh rate: 120 Hz. This entry covers manufacturer code 27B2N3500JH/00. Specifications relate to this exact source record; other editions or packages may differ.
The 68.6 cm (27") display is specified at 2560 x 1440 pixels. Consider these together: a larger screen provides more physical space, while resolution determines the number of pixels available. Neither specification establishes brightness, colour accuracy or motion quality.
The listed maximum refresh rate is 120 Hz. To use it, the source device, cable, resolution and input must all support the intended mode. Refresh rate is separate from response time and input lag.

An illustration of conversion, not this product’s rating.
Identify the exact model and the version reviewed. Check the manufacturer code, configuration and supplied accessories.
Convert usable ratings to five points, count each publisher once and give each critic equal weight.
Show the average to two decimal places after three distinct critics. Otherwise display tbd, keeping individual reviews visible.
