There are so many lists and options and there's always more and then more after that. I'm feeling quite overwhelmed with all these choices and so on.
Okay, so my budget is ideally below £280 and I need a monitor with a 100% sRGB IPS display at either 4K or 2K (QHD) resolution (though I'd prefer 4K) and at 24-27 inches. If you have suggestions outside of these parameters, fine. I'm open to new ideas.
My needs: I'm going to be using this for graphic design, photo/video editing, reading/writing and some gaming when I get the time.
The computer powering the monitor: currently a 13.3" MacBook Air 2014 with an i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and Intel HD 5000 1.5GB GPU. 1440x900 display.
Current monitor finds that I've saved:
UHD monitors
£280 Acer KA270HK 27" 4K UHD Monitor
£290 LG 24UD58 24" 3840X2160 IPS 4K FreeSync
QHD monitors
£190 Asus VX24AH 24 inch Frameless IPS 5 ms 2560 x 1440
£270 AOC Q2577PWQ 25 Inch QHD Monitor With IPS Panel
£230 BenQ BL2420PT 24" 100% sRGB QHD IPS Monitor
£216 DELL 24" P2418D WQHD Slim Bezel IPS Monitor
£260 ASUS 27" Quad HD 2K IPS Monitor 75Hz
Alright, I'm getting quite frustrated because I can't find any actual screenshot or photo comparisons of what 2K and 4K look like on the same display size! If people could share pictures (either screenshots or photos with a camera/phone) of their 2K/4K 24 or 27 inch displays, that'd be great!
