Monitor recommendations 24-26in

[Paratus]

My 24in 19x12 Hp IPS display died today. I want to replace it with something equal or better. I'm thinking something in the 2560x1440 24in - 26 in size would be a step up. I'm limited in desk space so much larger probably won't work.

I'd want an IPS display with good color calibration as my wife does some photography on it. I do game occasionally with the rig in my sig. I can continue to make due with 60hz.

Anyone have some recommendations for quality displays?

Thanks!

Well I'm going to check my local Frys today but if they don't have anything I'm seriously considering the Dell Ultrasharp U2515H.

• 25"
• 2560x1440
• IPS
• Factory calibrated

Newegg has it for $400.
Anyone have this display?

You can fit 26" but not 27"? For $400, might as well get the 27".

All prices from Newegg

25" AHIPS 1440p options:
ASUS PB258Q $275
ASUS MX25AQ $350
Acer H257HU $365
Dell U2515H $400

Fairly certain all the above use the same LG.Display LM250WQ1-SSA1 AH-IPS Panel.

At 27" your options:
Dell U2715H $469
ASUS PB278Q $419
ASUS MX27AQ $469

And other older. less responsive IPS 1440p panels. You could always take a look at the korean models too.

I'll check out the other models using that panel. Thanks!

What would be the benefits of the same resolution in a larger format? I guess text size will be easier to read.

If I tried any larger I'd kind of want to go 4K.

I really wasn't ready get a new monitor. I wanted to wait another year or two until 4K was cheaper and more mainstream. I don't want to go back to 19x12 since I've had that for the last 7 years. (We also had our DSLR and lawn mower die in the last month. So I really wasn't looking to spend another several hundred bucks or more right now.) Really bad timing.

I would scoop that ASUS PB258Q up then, $125 cheaper than the dell for the same panel. If for some reason the monitor is defective, just RMA it and get a new one.

I've personally been pretty interested in the Samsung U24E590D. It is a 23.6" 3840x2160 PLS panel. Looks pretty sweet. It's advertised at $399 but I don't think it has hit retailers yet (maybe not US stores?). Here's a review if you're interested, albeit not a quality review.

I ended up going for the dell. I found it on Amazion for 360 and free prime shipping. Plus I had some Amazon credit laying around.

I actually came close to ordering a 4K. Local Frys electronics had an Asus 27 model for $699. I decided the pain in the ass of updating to Win10 and dealing with my rig struggling at native resolution until i rebuild it wasn't worth it right now. I can get a 4K or 5K monitor in another couple of years.
