Cheapest 4K monitor with 160Hz refresh rate! This Philips dropped to just 5.5 thousand and also has a unique feature

27-inch 4K monitor with 160 Hz for 5,590 CZK. Philips 27M2N3800A is on Alza for 5,590 CZK with code ALZADNY30. The main feature is Dual-Mode — with a single switch in the menu, the 4K/160 Hz monitor becomes a Full HD/320 Hz panel for competitive gaming. G-Sync compatible, 0.5 ms response time, 400 nits brightness, and an IPS panel with an anti-glare surface. Rating 4.6 out of 5 and 88% recommendation — but it’s fair to mention that not everyone is thrilled.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want a 4K monitor with a high refresh rate for minimal money — for games, movies, and work. Dual-Mode is a bonus for competitive gamers.
⚠️ Consider that the default color settings may strain your eyes and require manual adjustment. And several users report issues with dead pixels.
💡 For 5,590 CZK you get 4K/160 Hz + FHD/320 Hz Dual-Mode, IPS panel, G-Sync, 0.5 ms response time, 400 nits, pivot, adjustable height, and DP + HDMI cables included.

Two monitors in one

The Dual-Mode feature is the main advantage of this monitor. In 4K mode (3840 × 2160) at 160 Hz, you get a sharp image for movies, work, and AAA games. Switch to Full HD (1920 × 1080) at 320 Hz and you have an ultra-fast panel for competitive shooters. The IPS panel covers 130% sRGB and 90% Adobe RGB with 400 nits brightness — on a 27″ display, the pixel density in 4K is so high that text is sharp even without scaling. Support for HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 with G-Sync compatibility. The stand is height-adjustable with pivot for vertical orientation — excellent for programming or reading documents.

What to expect

Several users report that the default color settings are unsuitable and the monitor can cause eye strain. A solution exists — one reviewer recommends switching to DCI-P3 mode and manually adjusting. After calibration, the sRGB image is decent, but out of the box, it’s not a plug & play experience. Build quality matches the price — plastic body, the OSD joystick works but doesn’t feel premium. Overdrive is overdone — inverse ghosting appears at the lowest setting, one reviewer recommends leaving it completely off. And beware of dead pixels — one reviewer tested four units, three of which had more than five dead pixels. If you encounter this problem, do not hesitate to claim a warranty.

In the package, you will find DisplayPort and HDMI cables — which is not a given with most monitors. 3-year warranty with Pick-up & Return service.
