As per title folks.

I've had a Dell Monitor (bought from here) U2312HM for over 10 years & its served me well. But it cant go on forever and one day it will fail, last thing I want is to search for a replacement & a slight upgrade. I'm quite happy to replace with another Dell, though I'm open to other makes & models.

I dont game on it, web browsing, media viewing & office work mainly, though gaming would be nice to have if I decide to delve into that world again.

Requirements are
IPS, unless convinced otherwise.
Higher refresh rate if possible
Must have a USB hub as my keyboard & mouse are plugged into the current monitor & I have one lead which I can plug into my daily drive or backup PC's.
space is limited, max width 80cm height 50cm. Adjustable would be nice too.

Budget less than £500? I've no idea really

so spec away! :D
Thanks
 
Dough Spectrum One is probably worth a look as its around your budget and is well specced for an IPS. Can get it with or without a stand so you can use whatever adjustable stand you like. Also comes in matte or glossy versions.

I had one for a bit before I switched to a 32" Mini LED screen.

General specs are

27" 4K HDR, 144Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms Response, IPS Panel, Freesync Premium Pro, USB-C Docking, DisplayPort, HDMI
 
From the Overclockers range, any of these meet your requirements, although they are a cm or so over your height requirement, but I think a lot of 27" monitors will be:

Gigabyte 27" M27U 3840x2160 IPS 160Hz 1ms A-sync HDMI 2.1 Widescreen Gaming Monitor £429.95


ASUS 27" Rog Strix XG27UCS IPS 3840x2160 IPS 160Hz 1ms Widescreen Gaming Monitor £438.95


LG 27" 27GR93U-B 3840x2160 IPS 144Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync HDMI 2.1 Widescreen Gaming Monitor £448.99
