A great companion for Mac and iPad Colour Accuracy: Colour Saturation (NTSC): 130% | Colour Saturation (DCI-P3): 97% | Colour Saturation (SRGB): 100% | Colour Saturation (Adobe RGB): 99% | Average ΔE: less than 1 I measured the Clarity Pro Touch's brightness, contrast, color coverage, and color accuracy using a Klein K10-A colorimeter, a Murideo SIX-G signal generator, and Portrait Displays Calman software. The PH2424HT did very well in all of these areas. The Clarity Pro Touch's tested luminance (brightness per unit area) of 506 candelas per meter squared (nits) easily exceeded its 400-nit rating. Its contrast ratio came in at 1,448:1, considerably better than its 1,000:1 rating, which is standard for IPS panels.

Ports: USB-C (Connection for Video (DP Alt Mode required), 90W Laptop Charging and Data), 2x HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, 2x USB-A (5Gbps, 7.5W Charging, For Accessories), 3.5mm Audio, USB-B (Connects computer to USB-A and Audio ports)If you don't need the touch features or webcam, the Alogic Clarity costs considerably less than the Touch and should make a fine display for creators. You can't buy the Clarity Pro Touch without the webcam, which is a shame if you already have one and you don't want to pay extra for features you may not need. If you do buy the Touch, you will want to get the Clarity Fold stand, so you can position the display like a tablet. The Apple Studio Display features a 12-megapixel webcam, although there have been complaints about degraded quality. While Clarity doesn’t include a built-in webcam, you can connect a superior one using one of the USB ports. Alogic even has one of its own, the 1080p HD Iris USB Webcam A09, which has both a USB-A and USB-C connection. Used with the Clarity display, you’ll likely use the USB-A connection unless you are connecting your laptop to the display using the DisplayPort/HDI connections.

This enables you to look at the screen nearly edge-on, either from above or from the side, without obvious degradation in image quality. The Clarity’s 4K Ultra High Definition screen (163 pixels per inch) doesn’t offer the pixel density of a 5K display such as the Studio Display (218 pixels per inch) so might have less appeal to graphics and video professionals, but it’s still over four times as impressive as a High Definition (HD) screen (82 pixels per inch). The Alogic Clarity 27-inch 4K monitor covers up to 99% of the Adobe color space and 100% of SRGB. Alogic The Alogic Clarity Pro Touch gets high marks as a desktop touch-screen monitor geared to creative pros. This 27-inch UHD display is bright, and has excellent contrast and color coverage. The stand that it ships with offers a wide range of height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustment. It supports 10-point multi-touch and responds to finger-based gestures, or to a capacitive stylus (which is an optional extra).And the best part is, the ALOGIC Clarity 4K UHD is much more affordable than competing monitors like Apple’s Studio Display. Pricing and availability There’s no on\off switch on the Studio Display where everything is controlled through the Mac, while the Clarity can be turned on and off and settings and speaker-volume adjusted with under screen buttons—making it a better choice for Windows PCs, which might be important in a mixed-platform environment. Audio and video But having a high resolution display is only part of what makes a monitor good. ALOGIC Clarity excels at delivering 1.07 billion colors with a dynamic contrast ratio of 1000000:1 and 350 nits of brightness.
