27 or 32 inch IPS monitor for professional use

Hi all,

Bit different than the gaming PC I built last year, but thought i'd ask you guys here..

I use a Macbook Pro 2023 M2 (14 inch) with Liquid Retina XDR display, and am looking to buy an external monitor to use whilst at work.

Whilst 70% of my day is spent on Excel, Outlook and Word, I do use Canva, Adobe Express & Youtube as well from time to time.

The last monitor a previous employer purchased for me was really noticeably poor in comparison to the laptop's own display, specifically when word processing (text blurry) which I would expect to a certain extent, but I'm looking to mitigate that as much as possible this time around.

I've spent the last 2 hours researching and watching reviews, but there's so much conflicting information that I thought I'd better ask what people's opinions were..

I've seen a couple of models that look half-decent (Iiyama Red Eagle G-Master GB3271QSU-B1 32" / Dell U2722D UltraSharp 27" QHD / ASUS ProArt Display PA279CV) but would welcome anyone's advice on this.

Thanks

I can't recommend specific models but I would say you would be better sticking to the smaller physical size (27" vs 32") for that same 1440p resolution.

Any external monitor inside a reasonable price range is not going to match the MacBook's for quality anyway but the bigger physical size at that same resolution will be a bit less sharp.

Good to know Slogan - thanks for your reply!
