Morning all

Moving the PC build I had from the TV to a seperate desk so going to pick up a new monitor for it.

Was looking at about 27-28" and was thinking of 4k however was looking at the below monitors.
PC is mainly used for watching media, gaming and working from home

Dell U2715H, Asus PB287Q, LG 27UD68P or Samsung LU28H750UQUXEN

What are peoples recommendations? I was leaning towards the Asus mainly but have heard good things about the Dell although not 4k and and the Samsung is interesting because of the QLED

Have you considered an Ultrawide monitor? They are great for productivity, make gaming more immersive and are best for watching movies (if the content is 21:9).

I didnt really but i'm looking at £300-400 on a monitor so not sure if these are within budget

What you will be using this monitor for. If gaming then a TN panel will do the job as well but if any productivity work such as image/video editing then must pick up IPS.

I went from 4K to 34" 100hz ultra wide (3440x1440) but was not very pleased with pixel density personally. But it's down to personal choice. Since then I have sold it.
