New Monitor Advice - Programming, studying, maybe a bit of gaming

[Terk]

Hey guys, i'm currently using two of these in my 'setup':

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...n-led-multimedia-monitor-black-mo-041-as.html

But I am pretty sick of them, I don't really like using my computer for programming or studying as I prefer using my Macbooks retina display because its much nicer but I thought since I have spare cash about £200-£300 (is my budget ideally) id upgrade and go back to using my computer as it would be more efficient, and a nice way to maybe watch movies etc...

As I stated main uses would be:
-Programming
-Studying (Computer Science)
-Movies
-Maybe a bit of gaming (nothing extreme, I usually would play WoW, small steam games like Bastion)
-Researching, reading and so on... i'm planning to start a small online business, so really I think im just asking for a general use monitor
-I may be doing a bit of video editing in the future, but not as a main job.

Any again budget would be, £200-£300 ideally.

What about ultra wide monitors? I usually have a lot of tabs open when programming, so enough space for split screen would be good.
Appreciate the help!

Ideally you'd want 4K for programming, or 3440x1440. Unfortunately the latter is way out of budget, and the former just a little bit (but can be had for less by waiting for deals/buying used/refurbished).

All things considered that Dell's a pretty good choice imo, but I'd say you'll want the 2'' of https://www.overclockers.co.uk/benq...ing-flicker-free-monitor-black-mo-110-bq.html
