Hi
Slightly out of the loop on monitors as my current one is a Dell 2209WAF, but as it's starting to show signs of failing I guess I need to replace it*
I'm looking at the monitors but have no idea what is "good" these days, I know when I last bought a TV an IPS screen was considered better for my use and budget, and IIRC that was the same with my current monitor at the time.
I'm not a heavy gamer at all, and this one has done me well for that, so I'm guessing I don't need a massively fast response time.
I don't need a huge number of inputs, or I suspect 4k (my TV does that), 1080 should be fine as anything higher than that and I suspect I'll have to scale things up which tends to look a bit blurry.
What I do want/need is a good picture for video, and things like the odd photo editing and of course forums and the like
Size wise, anything from about a 22-27", but ideally 24-27" as my eyes are not what they once were and I don't currently have space to go much larger.
Budget: up to around £300, but obviously the lower the better (besides anything else I'm hoping later in the year I'll be able to rearrange my computer area and go dual monitor).
The model that's caught my eye from a quick browse is the Dell SE2719HR because it seems similar to my current one, but the price seems too low (and a couple of reviews don't seem very happy with it).
One of the things I do like about the dell's is their bright pixel policy, but I'm guessing modern displays tend not to have dead/bright pixels as often as the older models.
So any suggestions for monitor would be welcome
*It's only had 11 years of long, hard use, how dare it start to fail
