I have had 2x Dell Ultrasharp 2007WFP 20" monitors for the last 11 years and I am in desperate need of an upgrade.

I am quite fond of the Dell style so I am thinking of buying 1x 27" Dell, unless any one has a good case to get another brand! I really dislike the TN panels so I think sticking to an IPS panel is a must for me.

I mainly use my pc for surfing, movies and gaming. I play all sorts of games, mostly none demanding (don't starve together, age of empires III and recently...elite dangerous).

My GPU is a 960 GTX so I know I will prob need to upgrade that for a 1440p 27" which I am happy to do.

What are your thoughts? I have my eye on the UltraSharp UP2716D so around that sort of budget.

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for the replies. With regards to the gsync, which model would you recommend? Would this only help with FPS gaming (I rarely play these). I also don't notice any lag with my current old 60Hz monitors, maybe my eyes are just old or I haven't know any better :D

With regards to the U2715H billysielu, I was looking at that initially and prefer the stand. I think on paper it is very similar to the UP2716D but just an older model?
 
The price is very appealing on the U2715H. I am sure it was £499.99 yesterday! If only it had the USB ports on the side of the monitor :(
 
Yup I think I will be leaving the G-Sync monitors for the time being. I have another question now though.

I am reluctant to give up my second monitor and I don't think I want to be switching between a nice new 27" and a decade old 20" monitor. I am now in the pipeline for a new second monitor but 27" will be over kill. What size monitor would be best next to it (probably in portrait orientation)? It will be used for web browsing/messenger apps and emails only!

Thanks!
 
The UltraSharp UP2716D is on its way to me now :O Mind you, my missus has bought it for my bday in March so no doubt have to test it and then pack it up again :(

What does the 2407WFP look like next to your 27"? Do you have it portrait? Could you post a pic so I could see what it looks like?
 
Thanks for that! That looks pretty good actually in landscape. I think a 24" in portrait next to the 27" would not look right at all.
 
I received my new monitor yesterday (UP2716D) and it looks amazing so far. The missus is letting me have it as an early birthday present which is a bonus too! Has anyone got any thoughts on what new monitor I could pair it with?

The U2415 looks pretty good but I would prefer it if it had a matching stand (I have OCD). I can't see anything with the same type of model number as the UP2716D.
