So I no longer need usbc

This opens the field to the
AW3418DW

Its 300 pounds less than its newer model and the LG

This will be an all round monitor
I'm a tad concerned with..

Is it OK for photo editing? (non pro)
Is there any reason to go for the 1k lg950/20dw?

Is a massive purchase and I rarely upgrade my monitors. So I dont want to make a mistake in this one!

Was considering the dell U3419w but no opinions on that one it seems
 
Be good to hear from someone who does photography

Everything else like refresh rate etc is fine

The AW3420DW has a much better panel in it than the one in the AW3418DW but I can't advise whether it's worth the extra £300. I am personally not a fan of UW monitors and prefer 2 x 27" 1440p monitors instead for similar money.

Apparently so, but 1k for a. Monitor is too much.
And I don't really mind about refresh rate. I've had 60hz since forever
 
I'm still undecided but need to choose soon.

Nothing seems ideal. VA and ghosting, IPS and bad blacks

I can't stand making most expensive decision on pc hardware and having such a big compromise

Then get a 1440p 27" monitor with an IPS screen. If you then find you need more real estate then buy a 2nd one. 2 LG will cost you around £900 total. If you don't need a gaming monitor I have seen some decent Viewsonic and BenQ 27" 1440p panels for less than £300

Want to move away from dual monitor.

I have a u2711 (1440) UltraSharp and a u2410

To make it worth it I need a 34+
 
I think I'm going to order

A benq EX3501R (VA)
And LG 34gk950f (or AW3418DW or AW3420)

At same time and compare. I don't think I can decide any other way.
YouTube Videos don't help, I guess viewing down a camera on another screen will never work

I've never seen VA so have nothing except mixed advice as to what to go for.
Seeing them side by side I might know instantly.
 
Damn it, just went to purchase and saw its now 831.

Im out

Looks like only option is benq EX3501R
