Hi all,

I've got some Dell vouchers to spend and I thought I'd upgrade from my old 22" screen (not even Full HD!) to something more fitting.
Majority of my time is spent on photo editing and general work, with little left for games. The PC is not capable of running anything at 4K, so I am in two mind about getting a 2K or 4K screen.
At work, I usually have 2x 24" full HD screens and I'd personally get something with higher resolution rather than 2 displays.
I haven't worked on a 4K screen before so not sure how this will feel, but my thinking is to get a screen that will last a good 5y+
In the near future I should be upgrading my setup to at least take 2K gaming easily, but I can always lower the resolution to full HD if needed.

There are some nice discounts atm on the S2721QS so I could grab that for about £150.

Any thoughts? recommendations?
 
I would want to get something under £350

Work is not photo related, so it's just my own stuff that I do.
I don't really need 4k, but had been struggling to find sensible options at 2k with higher refresh rates.
I don't want to compromise color gammut coverage for refresh rate. I don't play competitevly at all. Equally if for similar money I can grab 4k, why not?

Resurrecting this thread as I didn't get far with it and I am open to buying other screens than Dell now.
My browse through RTings returned likes of:
Acer Nitro XV272U - spec seems unreal to be Acer made lol..
Gigabyte AORUS FI27Q-EK - currently amazing discount here at OCUK
MSI OPTIX MAG272CQR - VA with such color gamut? hmm interesting. also great price right now at OCUK

Anything else I need to consider?
