In this video I’m checking out ASUS’ new 27-inch 4K smart monitor—the ZenScreen Smart MS27UC—and walking you through the whole first-look experience. I start with the unboxing and setup, then get into the stuff I actually care about for a clean desk setup: the design, build quality, and how it looks on a modern workspace. From there I run through the ports and basic usability so you know what you’re working with if you’re plugging in a laptop, desktop, or using it more like a standalone screen. I also cover the display experience, the built-in audio, and the smart features—because this monitor is trying to live in that “monitor + smart screen” lane. Then I jump into gaming and talk about what it feels like for that use case, and who I think this monitor is really for. If you’re building a dialed-in home office and want a 4K panel with smart functionality baked in, this should give you a clear idea of what it’s like before you buy.
