Hi guys,

I'm trying to choose between the two monitors below. Both are high end 32" 4K monitors. The dell is cheaper and has HDMI 1.0 and the asus has more ports on the back including HDMI 2.0. The monitor will be used connected to the Dell XPS 15 (2017).

Please help me choose between the two. It's not for gaming, graphic design or video editing. It's mainly for productivity where a lot of stuff needs to be on the screen at once. I'm upgrading from the PB278Q whic has a resolution of 2560x1440. I've never used 4K before. But all I know is that my current resolution is no longer enough so I need more. I considered ultrawide too but in the end I decided 4K will have more pixels.

Thanks!

Hi all, thanks for your replies. Sorry I couldn't respond earlier as I was travelling. The Dell XPS 15 (2017) will have a thunderbolt 3 port to which I will attach a docking unit which will have a whole bunch of ports including display port and hdmi. So I will have display port available. My only thought was it may be nice to have HDMI 2.0 on the monitor now as I'll be keeping this for a while and it'll be futureproof that way in case I want to connect other stuff to it too. My current monitor is asus and has been fantastic for years and years. If you have any other thoughts do let me know.

You can see the thunderbolt 3 docking unit here.
