Given that I'm getting a discount the slightly more expensive UP2715K falls in to budget. Does anyone know if it is as good as the U2715H with the advantage of also being 5k or are there tradeoffs elsewhere so that the U2715H has some advantages?
The other interesting looking model at this size is the U2717D, but again I don't know how this compares the U2715H really.
I've been doing a bit of reading up on this myself last day or two. I'm looking for a new 16:9 1440p monitor, most likely a Dell as I want the colour accuracy for graphic design and photography, but I also do some gaming.
From what I can glean from reviews:
U2715H (1440p, IPS) is a well respected all-rounder, good colour accuracy and reasonable response time for gaming (8ms).
U2717D (1440p, IPS) is the updated version of the U2715H. Similar specs, but with a thinner bezel and ability to detach the screen from the stand.
U2515H (1440p, IPS) is essentially the same as the U2715H but with a smaller physical size and so a smaller pixel pitch (some may prefer, some may not).
UP2716D (1440p, IPS) is a professional grade monitor that offers a range of colour spaces, including 100% sRGB and 100% Adobe RGB. It claims a 6ms response time, but I can't find any reviews which tackle how suited to gaming it is. Obviously will be very good for photography and design.
UP2715K (5k IPS) is kind of in a different ballpark to the rest. It's a lot pixels in a 27" screen, with obvious implications for pixel pitch and of course having a graphics card capable of driving it for gaming (let's face it, 4k is problematic enough).
Personally I've got my eye on the UP2716D because my main use will be digital art and graphic design and so like the colour gamut modes. However, I do also game a lot too, so I'm trying to find out how well suited this is for that.
