Morning All,
First off, this isn't a timed plan upgrade,, as in I will certainly be upgrading within the next month, more simply a prospective look at what currently exists and interests me to have a window of what I may want when the time comes.
-1st and main point will be colour accuracy, above all other feature, this include refresh rate, swivel features and monitor features. Colour & panel are the no1.
- Screen size 27" or 24" ? Obviously 27" is nicer for the real estate, but I would prefer to go 1440p if I go up in size as it is the sweet spot in balance for monitors currently.
- IPS Panel - 144hz above or not doesn't really matter, just a plus.
- Monitor will be colour calibrated regardless of which one I get when I do. (If it doesn't need it obviously it won't be corrected, but the accuracy will at least be checked)
- Price is always a factor, but I believe there are some decent monitors within ~R4-6k (second hand of course), But price is not set, just what I have seen in the past few days of looking.
- HDR would be a nice addition but monitors that actually support HDR(and are good at it) are much less common. Or simply in a higher price bracket.
- No curved Panels.
Options:
- https://www.asus.com/Displays-Desktops/Monitors/ProArt/ProArt-Display-PA278CV/
- TUF Gaming VG27AQ|Monitors|ASUS Global
- ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD, 27 WQHD 144Hz Gaming Monitor
- Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor - U2719D | Dell USA
- 27" WQHD clamp-type Monitor SR75 with Space-Saving Design | LS27R750QEUXEN | Samsung Business ZA
Looking at these monitors, first choices would be the Asus TUF because it is an all-rounder and has great colour accuracy when calibrated, downside to the TUF is that the 60hz XP or variable refresh rate doesn't seem to be great. Second is the pro-art because the panel and colour seem to be decent out of the box.
Appreciate the input
