Spec me a cheap photo editing monitor please

Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my 4+ year old Iilyama prolite TN display to something IPS based and excellent for photo editing.

Colour accuracy being the top priority.

My current monitor is 24" and I don't really want to downgrade in size but for the right specs I could do I suppose. Ideally I need HDMI as well.

I'm on a budget of £250. Any pointers much appreciated!

Like easyrider said, Dell U2515H. I bought two to add to my Iiyama Prolite E2473HDS, and the 1440p resolution is so much better. The monitor also comes with a calibration report, as I'm sure most/all of the Dells do.

I agree with above, Dell U2515H. I have the 27" version which is fantastic.

That's brilliant thank you. Hopefully my current graphics card will be able to cope with the res bump for photo editing. I'm going to be upgrading to use Lightroom 6 with it.
