Yes, I know this has been done to death before and I apologise right here and now for dragging the subject up again but I am looking for some personal recommendations please.
My requirements are quite simple:
1. 3840 x 2160 resolution
2. 27 or 28" size
3. IPS screen
4. 100% sRGB (or more)
5. HDMI and DP ports
6. Speakers would be nice too
7. £400(ish) budget
I'm trying to restrict my budget to £400.00 but TBH that's a figure I plucked out of the air rather than the max I have to spend. My PC is less than 3 years old with an i5-8400 CPU, 16GB RAM, 250GB M2.2 system drive, 256GB Seagate SSD, 1TB Toshiba HDD, Nvidia GTX1030 graphics card with 2GB RAM. W10/64 operating system with all the latest updates and security fixes installed. I use the computer for image editing (with LRC, PS and On1 Photo RAW 2021) plus general tasks using Office365 and general web browsing. My current monitor is a 27" ASUS VZ279HE and if I had the space I would add another one but it's a bit cramped in here so I'd like to go 4k to get some extra screen real estate. I'm also hoping the 4k screen will stop me hankering after an iMac
I've been going round in circles for the past few days looking at specification, functions and features so thought I'd give my brain a rest and come here for some real world user recommendations.
Over to you folks
