Cheaper but Capable Monitor for Photo Work?

Hello experts!

A friend asked me to spec him a monitor for photo editing, but I'm not really au fait with anything outside of gaming panels, so I'm asking here on his behalf. There'll be no gaming done on it at all, so the only consideration is PS/Lightroom etc, as well as general browsing etc... He wants "as good and as big a screen/resolution" as he can get for ~£300.

Thanks for all suggestions!

Thanks Baddass, I appreciate your time.

I'll have a word with him this evening and pass on the recommendation. I'm not sure how seriously he wants to take his photography - at the moment, it's just a hobby to him, but he's still willing to spend thousands on lenses etc, so investing in a better monitor might be a good idea. Anyway, I'll get back to you if he ups the budget! Thanks again!

Okay, I copied and pasted this thread for him and he wants to know what sort of price range he's looking at for "higher end colour professional range monitors, and wide gamut support"?

Thanks for all the comments guys - very much appreciated. He actually went ahead and ordered the U2515H this morning. I'm sure he'll be happy when he gets it. Thanks again!
