I've used imacs for years so my knowledge of standalone monitors is hopelessly out of date. Moving to a macbook air M1 and a separate monitor so need to choose one. Most of the time it will be used for my Mrs' work which is general MS office type stuff but it will also be my photo editing computer and other half does the odd bit of video editing.
Current imac is 27" but pre retina.
Search so far has been centred on 4k IPS panels of 27" +
Been considering this as it seems to offer good value and features.
But have some concerns about going for something as large as this for day to day use. Maybe unatural at typical viewing distances? Also, I guess with something so large, some 'crispness' will be lost. Response time seems higher than some but I'm not sure how important this is.
The appeal of that one is that it has built in speakers and usb-c power through connection so we would not need a separate hub and speakers which is appealing in terms of reducing clutter.
But maybe we'd be better with a separate hub and a more sensibly sized monitor? Which actually might also be cheaper overall.
