Hi All
Stumbled across this site and a wealth of info. I've done some searching, apologies if the info Im looking for has been posted elsewhere. Also apologies in advance if this is not the best place to post.
Currently using a 42" Sony Bravia 1080p Full HD TV as a monitor for work using my MacBook pro 15" 2017. Also hooked up to my xbox series x for play. For work Its a bit too big so looking to downsize to something smaller. Though for play with my xbox its great.
Use-case:
MS Applications via Macbook Pro, so need to see text clearly, no photo editing or content creation.
Gaming via xbox series x
Requirements:
Size - 32" to 38" ideally not ultrawide as I don't want a display that is wide and short
Resolution - keep seeing 1440p as the sweet spot (can anyone explain why?) but would like to go 4k
Power Delivery - ideally one cable to connect to my MacBook Pro providing 87w charge along with data transfer
Speakers - must have built in speakers as no scope for desktop speakers and don't want to use headphones
Budget - fairly flexibly, happy to go up to £1300
I know there are not many monitors with HDMI 2.1 which would fully utilise my xbox, though happy to wait if required if current 4k monitors not up to spec. Was tempted by LG CX48 but I think it will be too big. I saw the Aorus FV43U which is a potential candidate but doesn't have PD and its fairly new and haven't seen many reviews.
Any suggestions from you guys would be appreciated.
Thanks
