A compact Full HD monitor can suit slide editing when desk space is limited and you mainly work in one window. If you regularly keep slides, notes and source material visible together, consider a 27-inch QHD display; a 4K display is worth considering when inspecting fine graphics matters more, provided its text scaling works for you. Check laptop video output, charging requirements and stand adjustment before choosing.
If you want one desk connection for a display, charging and peripherals, check that your laptop supports video over USB-C and that the monitor’s power delivery meets its charging requirements. Dell UK, BenQ UK and LG UK specify different charging capabilities for their respective monitor models.
If you keep a slide editor, speaker notes, research and assets open together, screen space matters alongside physical size. BenQ UK specifies a 27-inch QHD panel for the GW2790QT; LG UK specifies a 27-inch 4K panel for the 27UP850K-W.
If your slides contain fine charts, photographs or branded graphics, a detailed display can help you inspect the work. LG UK specifies 4K resolution and DCI-P3 95% typical coverage for the 27UP850K-W, but you should still check the finished presentation on the projector or venue display you intend to use.
Decide how much of your deck and supporting material you need to see at once, then check the laptop connection and whether the screen can be positioned comfortably. These concerns reflect different primary needs among consumers choosing a monitor for slide-deck work.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Slide workspace | Compare screen size and native resolution together. Dell UK specifies 23.8-inch Full HD for the P2425HE, while BenQ UK specifies 27-inch QHD for the GW2790QT. | I want to edit slides while keeping notes and source material in view, rather than repeatedly switching windows. Roughly 37% of consumers put workspace first. |
| Laptop connection | Check USB-C video support and power delivery against your laptop; confirm the required cable or an alternative display input. | If I move my laptop between desks, I want the display and charging arrangement to work without repeated cable changes. For around 36% of consumers, the connection is the primary concern. |
| Visual detail and comfort | Check resolution and text scaling alongside stand adjustment, screen position and glare. Test the intended presentation display separately when colour matters. | Fine charts and graphics need close inspection, but I also need a screen position that works through long editing sessions. Visual detail and comfort come first for roughly 27% of consumers. |
USB-C capabilities differ by monitor and laptop. BenQ UK specifies DisplayPort Alt Mode, data and 65W power delivery for the GW2790QT, while Dell UK and LG UK specify charging up to 90W for the P2425HE and 27UP850K-W respectively. Charging wattage alone does not establish that your laptop will support a one-cable setup.
Check the laptop’s USB-C video output and charging requirement against the exact monitor port, and confirm which cable is supplied.
If the connection does not cover your needs, you may have to keep using the laptop charger or use another cable or dock.
A 27-inch 4K panel provides more pixel detail than the 27-inch QHD models described by LG UK and BenQ UK, but the amount of usable workspace depends on the text and interface scaling you choose.
If possible, try your laptop at the intended resolution and scaling. Judge whether you can comfortably read slides and notes at your usual desk distance.
The UK Health and Safety Executive advises attention to posture, screen position, lighting and breaks or changes of activity when using display screen equipment. A monitor feature does not replace those adjustments.
Check whether the stand or a suitable mount lets you position the screen well, reduce reflections where possible and change activity during long editing sessions.
LG UK’s colour-coverage specification describes the 27UP850K-W, not the projector or meeting-room screen on which your slides may eventually appear.
For image-led or branded presentations, export a test file and view it on the intended display before presenting.
Dell UK’s P2425HE illustrates a compact, laptop-oriented desk monitor rather than a large multi-window display.
BenQ UK’s GW2790QT represents a 27-inch QHD route for editing slides alongside other documents.
LG UK’s 27UP850K-W represents a 27-inch 4K option for close inspection of detailed slide graphics.
These monitors cover compact slide editing, WQHD desk work and a larger 4K display. Compare each model’s stated connections and physical fit with the laptop and desk you will actually use.

Consider this for slide editing alongside source material. The product name identifies an IPS WQHD display; if you want to connect a laptop through one cable, check video compatibility and charging power before relying on that setup.
No image available
Consider this when you want a larger desk view for a deck and its supporting documents. The product name specifies IPS WQHD; check that its physical size suits your desk and confirm the laptop connection you need.
No image available
Consider this for inspecting detailed charts or images if a large curved screen suits your desk. Its product name specifies 3840 × 2160 resolution and Type-C 65W; confirm whether Type-C carries video from your laptop before planning a one-cable connection.
No image available
Consider this when your desk has room for a larger view of slides and supporting windows. The product name specifies a 31.5-inch IPS display; check its connections and how you would position the screen before purchase.

Consider this for a compact slide-editing desk if you mainly use one working window at a time. Check the exact display input against your laptop and whether the stand can place the screen at a comfortable height.
It can be enough if you mainly edit one deck at a time and have limited desk space. Dell UK’s 23.8-inch Full HD P2425HE illustrates that route; consider a larger QHD or 4K workspace if notes, research and assets regularly need to stay visible beside your slides.
Yes, if the laptop supports video over its USB-C port and the monitor’s connection provides suitable video and charging. BenQ UK specifies DisplayPort Alt Mode and 65W power delivery for the GW2790QT; compare the exact monitor’s port and cable with your laptop’s video and charging requirements.
No. The UK Health and Safety Executive advises appropriate posture, screen and lighting adjustments, and breaks or changes of activity for display-screen work. Check how you can position the monitor and manage reflections as well as any advertised screen features.
They can matter for work done at home. The UK Health and Safety Executive says the Display Screen Equipment Regulations apply to workers who use a screen daily for continuous periods of an hour or more; if that describes your work, ask your employer about assessing your workstation.
Contact the trader that sold it and describe the fault, keeping your order record and any useful evidence. The UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 provides remedies for faulty goods, including repair or replacement where applicable; a voluntary warranty is separate from those statutory rights.
