I've progressively gone from 20", to 22", 24" and now 27" and there was a noticeable difference in all 'upgrades'. There's a big price leap in IPS panels between 23" and 24" for some reason - the only real option on the plate at 24" is the Dell UltraSharp U2412M. But then you need to ask yourself is that 1" increase worth the extra £130 or so? It's still
only using an e-IPS panel at the end of the day.
I understand your concerns about Hazro. My first WC one had literally 150 or so stuck pixels and a problem where the screen would become distorted after a few hours. I returned it & bought the WD model which has around 6-7 stuck pixels (that are only noticeable on a black image from 2-3 inches away, every other colour is displayed correctly) and lint under the glass in the bottom right. But because the dot pitch is so small a few
stuck pixels aren't a problem to me as 99.9% of the time I'm not looking that close at black images. Dead pixels on the other hand could be pretty annoying. Lint and dust seems to be a common problem on the glass version, so it's something I expected before I even set it up.
Refurb Dell u2711's are available on a certain popular auction site if you want assured quality and guaranteed no dead pixels. However, they only have a years warranty.
But from my experience you should never cut corners with monitors, because I've done that over the years and have probably gone through about 7 of them in the past 3-4 years. Not because they all developed a fault, but because I'd never be fully satisfied and it's been lingering on my mind that there's better out there! And the frustrating thing is I've probably spend £800+ on them all in total before I got the Hazro
I might wait for it to come back in stock.
