Hi guys,
I'm currently using my old 1080p 24" Dell U2414 Ultrasharp monitor but want to upgrade to a 27" version.
I'm debating between the newish Dell U2717D (2570 x 1440) and the brand new Dell U2718Q (3840 x 2160).
The price difference is £450 vs £560.

I had always presumed I would punt for a 4k display come upgrade time, but I'm reading mixed opinions. Some forums say 4k is overkill on a 27" display. Plus there are scaling issues on Windows and Adobe. Coupled with this, the reviews on Amazon for that 4k monitor are poor. Others are saying there's a reason Apple make a 4k and 5k iMac screen in 27", so it obviously works well for creatives.
My question is, will I regret not going for a 4k monitor? Or is the highly-rated 2k version (which still has double the pixel count of my current display) more than enough?
