Publisher rating supplied by Icecat: 97%
At an MSRP of $1199, the S9 is not super affordable. It's clearly engineered and calibrated for the needs of professionals, though it's certainly elegant-looking enough to sit on more than a few receptionists' desks. It's simply too well-tooled to be used...

Make sense of the details
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.
Compare the specification with your intended use and read the original reviews for performance, comfort, reliability and other qualities that a specification sheet cannot establish.
