Our take
UltraGear 27 is the monitor we pick when someone says they game enough to care about motion, but they also write email on the same screen. High refresh is real. Fake HDR is not. Ignore the HDR sticker unless you have already calibrated a better set.
If your job is tiny text all day, buy the Dell 4K instead and game on a console TV.
