I know there are some real experts here so I'd welcome some advice.
I am using a 2013 Mac Book Pro and want to replace an old and failing external monitor, a cheap LG 22" Widescreen 1680 x1050, It has served me well and I have certainly had my money out of it.
I use LR4 on the Mac Book Pro to tweak my scanned images from film. I also use Photoshop Elements, but only for dust and scanning artifact removal. I do not undertake heavy processing, I am old school and set out to get as much right in the camera as possible.
I have been looking at the 27" Dell Ultrasharp U2713HM, which seems to have had some good press and is a good price.
I spotted this new monitor, the Dell Ultrasharp U2515H QHD IPS and wondered whether anyone has knowledge of it? Although a little smaller , its still bigger than I am used to.
It seems a bit on the cheap side at around £299, there are a couple of internet reviews but not enough to assist me in seeing if it is a contender. If it is any good at that price it could be a good choice for a matched pair.
There is of course the Apple 27" Thunderbolt display, which I could run too but it would wipe out my current photo funds for a while.
I will pull the trigger on something over the next week or so as the current external monitor is playing up, I have some leave on the horizon and will be doing some scanning and processing for a personal photo book project that I want to complete.
I should add I am a keen amateur and photography is my escape from a busy professional life and although I like to have good kit and try and produce the odd pleasing image, I am far from having the needs of a pro tog!
Any advice gratefully received.
