Photo Editing - Benq GW2765HE 27" 2560x1440 IPS?

Following on from my earlier post, regarding a replacement for my Dell 2007 20" WFP monitor for photo editing, https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/monitor-for-photo-editing.18806585/ I'm considering this:

Benq GW2765HE

Any other suggestions for a similar price? I won't be gaming, and I will require either a monitor with DVI ports, or I'll need to add a discrete graphics card as my system using an AMD APU onboard graphics with only DVI / HDMI / VGA connectors. However the gloss black bezel on the monitor would be an issue.

Would a 25" 2560x1440 screen be a better choice? Or is the sweet spot with regards to screen size / resolution 27" 2560x1440?

Colour accuracy is my main concern, what ever monitor I get I'll be calibrating it using my Spyder2 express.

Thanks,

Just took a punt on a Benq PD2700Q Designer Monitor.

Should hopefully be here in a couple of days :-)

Better also get my gpu ordered!

I've only used 1440p with a 27" panel and I think it's pretty spot on, hope you enjoy the BenQ.

Thanks Matt.

Pretty pleased with the monitor. Seems to be quite well calibrated out of the box. Certainly much more screen real estate compared to my old dell 20" 1680x1050 monitor :-)
