Samsung Essential Monitor S4 — 27-inch IPS with speakers and a full ergonomic stand
27″ IPS, 100 HzBuilt-in speakersHeight, swivel & pivotEnergy class C
The LS27D406GAUXEN is Samsung’s 27-inch Essential Monitor S4 (S40GD) — a flat IPS panel at Full HD 1920 × 1080, running at 100 Hz with a 5 ms grey-to-grey response. It is the version of the S4 with built-in speakers, and it keeps everything else the range is bought for: a fully adjustable stand with height, swivel and pivot, DisplayPort 1.2, two HDMI inputs and a two-port USB hub, and the best efficiency in the range at energy class C.
Compatibility — check before buying:
⭐ There are three S40GD part numbers at this size, and the difference is real. Here is the whole thing:
• …400 — base. HDMI cable in the box. No speakers.
• …402 — adds a DisplayPort cable to the box. Still no speakers.
• …406 — this one. Adds built-in 1 W speakers. Box has the HDMI cable only, no DisplayPort cable.
Panel, ports, stand, VESA, energy class, power, dimensions and weight are identical across all three. Note this is a genuine either/or rather than a ladder: you cannot get both the speakers and the DisplayPort cable in one box. If you want sound from the monitor, this is the part; if you want a DP cable supplied, that is the …402; if neither matters, buy whichever is cheapest.
What the S4 gives you over the cheaper S3 models: a height, swivel and pivot stand instead of tilt only; DisplayPort 1.2 plus two HDMI and a USB hub instead of one HDMI and a VGA socket; VESA 100 × 100 (the curved S3 models use 75 × 75); energy class C instead of D or E; and TCO Certified with EPEAT Silver. What you give up is contrast — 1000:1 here against 3000–4000:1 on the curved VA models.
One thing to set yourself: the monitor ships at 60 Hz. Switch it to 100 Hz in the on-screen menu and in your display settings.

Best For
✓ A desk where a separate speaker set would be one thing too many
✓ Eight hours a day of actual work
✓ A screen shared with a colleague, or viewed off-axis
✓ Two machines connected at once, switched from the on-screen menu
Key Features
Built-in speakers — the reason this part number exists
1 W, plus a headphone output. Modest, but it means a laptop or a meeting-room PC needs one cable and nothing else. In the whole S40GD range only the …406 has them, and the difference is published by Samsung on several of its own sites.
A stand that actually adjusts
105 mm of height, ±45° swivel and ±92° pivot to portrait. The single biggest practical difference from every cheaper Essential model, which tilt and nothing else. A screen at the wrong height is a problem you notice in your shoulders by Thursday.
DisplayPort, two HDMI and a USB hub
Enough inputs to leave a desktop and a laptop connected at once and switch between them from the on-screen menu. The two-port USB 2.0 hub handles a keyboard and mouse without reaching behind the PC.
IPS — colour that holds up off-axis
Colour and brightness stay consistent when you are not sitting dead centre, which covers the everyday reality of an office. VA panels shift; this does not.
Energy class C — the best in the Essential range
Notably better than the rest, which run at class D or E. On a screen that is on eight hours a day, five days a week, that is a real running-cost difference, and it comes with TCO Certified and EPEAT Silver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
If you are buying a monitor to work at rather than to watch, the S4 is the one in Samsung’s Essential range worth the money — the height-adjustable, pivoting stand alone justifies it, and the port set and efficiency follow. Within the S4 family, the choice is unusually simple and unusually badly signposted: three part numbers, identical monitors, and the only differences are speakers (…406) versus a DisplayPort cable (…402) versus neither (…400). Since a DisplayPort cable costs a few euro and built-in speakers cannot be added later, the …406 is usually the sensible pick for a desk that has no other audio. What you trade away across the whole S4 range is contrast — 1000:1 against 3000:1 or 4000:1 on the curved VA models — which is the right trade for an office and the wrong one for a living room. Browse the rest of our PC monitors, or a monitor stand or arm if the supplied base is the sticking point.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You work at this screen every day, you want a height-adjustable and pivoting stand with DisplayPort and two HDMI inputs, and you want sound without a separate speaker set.
Skip it if
You mainly watch films at home — the curved VA models have three to four times the contrast — or you specifically need a DisplayPort cable in the box, which is the …402.
Also consider
The …402 version, which swaps the speakers for a DisplayPort cable, the …400 base version, or the curved S39GD if contrast matters more than ergonomics.
