27" inch monitor for work use & photo editing

[PatrickD]

Hi,
With the working from home I'm finally going to buy a monitor this week.
Usage: when working from home (Product Support so mainly text & viewing a HCM product) & some photo editing. With a budget of about £200 what would you recommend please?

1440 vs 1080p- if I'm not using/eding videos do I need 1440p, is there much differnece re photo editing?
Some say I'd be mad to go for 1080p, others say no need for 1440p

To me adjustable height sounds essential- I'd be using 2 different tables with differnet heights. I have a height adjustable computer chair though. So is the height adjustable feature needed at all? Until I have a monitor I don't really know if it's important of not...

I'm leaning towards a 27", not for any particular reason.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick.

27" @ 1440p is a nice balance. Sharp without everything being too small at 100% scaling.

My goto would be a Dell Ultrasharp but they're probably over budget.

2560x1440 helps in every usage.
You can fit more content into screen without needing to scroll down/up as much as than in marketing scam 1920x1080, which is worser than resolution that got replaced by it.
(before that 1920x1200 was standard for the size)

Availability is just out of strock in many.

Hi,
Thanks for the responses.
I'm thinking of the

or AOC Q2790PQU
any thoughts please?
Thanks,
Patrick.

Get it calibrated also.
Maybe IPS for contacting colour accuracy?

I have the budget, 49" electriQ monitor, and it really is a great screen for the money!

I ordered BenQ GW2765HT 27" IPS WQHD Monitor for €286, a decent price.
