Hi there,

An excellent monitor is the BenQ BL2711U.

Hi

The Dell 27" UP2716D should fit the bill its IPS so ideal for photos and video viewing and it 2560x1440 resolution will give you much more desktop space to play when compared to your currant monitor.

You don't say what your budget is so if you don't wish to spend so much then you can get a AOC 25" IPS 2560X1440 for under £300.

Hi there

Monitor arrived today, I'm a bit confused on what cable type connection to use with my Nvidia m2000 quadriceps which has only 4 display ports outputs. Monitor has all the inputs incl hdmi 2.0. I'm using display port to display port at the moment but wondering if I go display port to hdmi 2 will give me any gains in quality?

No difference just use the display port connection.

hi guys,

i am now using the BenQ BL2711U with windows 10 pro, and left the display settings on default, do u reccomend altering the settings for a better viewing experience or leave them as they are?
reason im asking is that ive noticed sometimes blurred wordings in apps or webpages, most of the time is ok though, bit smaller in general but i can live with it. Any calibration required for this screen ?
