Which monitor would you choose?

Hi all, I am looking for two new monitors, my eyes are not the best now and I thought of leaving my 2 24" monitors and get 2 27" monitors. Currently I have 2 P24h-10 Thinkvision monitors which have QHD resolution. I am thinking on going to 27" 4k and scale fonts to get clearer text and being able to see it better while not losing many code lines. I have a Lenovo 40AJ ultra dock station which has display port and HDMI options. OK, the monitors I've seen as most recommended out there are: Dell Ultrasharp 27" U2723QE >> 676,39 € Samsung ViewFinity S8 S27B800TGU >> 509,14 € HP Z27k G3 >> 512,12 € Dell P2723QE >> 467,54 € Dell S2722QC >> 311,03 € LG 27UK650-W >> 526,81 € Some of them have an integrated dock station and that could be a good thing as mine is usually going nuts every time I arrive at the office after having used my small portable monitor and I end up unplugging the monitors every time... From time to time, I play a couple of games, but that is not important at all, my current monitors do that fine enough and I guess anything I could by today should be better than my current ones. Would you choose a monitor from that list or you wouldn't and choose something else? Thank you all!

I'm not familiar with any of those models, but I'm currently using a pair of 32" LGs and love them. I had to replace my previous two monitors because of an errant recoil spring in a 1911 .45 ACP pistol, which taught me not to repair firearms whilst sitting in front of my monitors. :-D

Seriously consider: Dell UltraSharp 30 USB-C-hub monitor - U3023E I have 2x 27" hp z27 at work. During covid wfh, I bought this dell. It is far better on the eyes with clearview 2. Pixel spacing is slightly bigger, without zooming it results in slightly bigger texts. Has integrated usb-c dock But best of all 1600 pxl height... I see it dropped 30% since I bought it.

Personally, I've had two transitions. Sorry about the lengthy post... First from a dell 27" 2560x1440 to a samsung 49" 5120x1440. It was either that, or two 27" monitors. While the 49" 5120x1440 is a _very_ wide monitor, it is superb for e.g. Visual stuido. 3-4 files open side-by-side, as well as toolboxes. Awesome! Highly recommended! But also more expensive than the two corresponding 27" monitors. Physical screen size is 100% equivalent between those two solutions, it's only a question of having the insanely annoying bracket between the monitors, or not. I prefer the single monitor solution by far, since I otherwise tend to have "two fullscreen monitors", rather than "one huge surface where I can place windows - also in the middle, since there are no annoying brackets". With to monitors I find myself looking directly at one right in front of me, and getting a neck-pain from looking at the other one, located to the left or right. Alternatively, having both located to the side of your "staring straight ahead" line, you have to look either to the left or the right. You're probably used to that now, but after *not* having those brackets down the middle, you don't want to go back. Regarding physical monitor size and old-eyes problems (I'm getting there, getting closer to 50 now :) ). You're used to 1440p vertically on a 24" monitor. Switching to a 1440p on 27" is a huge improvement, since you will get the same number of pixels, but each pixel will be larger, so no change in number of code lines visible, but everything will be larger. Equivalent to moving your eyes closer to your current monitors. If you switch to 27" 4K you will more or less retain pixel size, but will have more pixels (hence get room for more code lines). Like adding more pixels to your current monitors. In that case, you will have to start scaling in order to get larger text, so thats that... More or less the same, I don't think you will find that the scaled version is significantly better or worse than the non-scaled one. So, either one will probably be fine. Now, what I didn't think of beforehand - but has come to appreciate a lot later - was the switch from 60 Hz to 120 Hz. The strain on your eyes is really a lot less. 120 Hz is just a lot more "calm" to look at. Not like the difference from - say 30Hz to 60Hz on the old CRT tubes. But it's there. Very much. Now, the second transition. Due to office re-arrangements, I decided to move the 49" 5120x1440 from the home-office to the office-office, and got a 34" (OLED) 3440x1440 for the home

If you were thinking about the more pricey ones, I wouldn't just because for 2x of those you can get one massive curved one, have no bezel sitting in the middle, and have all the real-estate of two screens. They tend to be built more for gaming but the higher refresh rates are beneficial to your eyes. I liked the Odyssey G9 so much for fun that the next home (work) purchase was a curved panel. Though not the G9... it was still like $1500 then.

Yeah I second what Jan said. "5120x1440 49" - It is sooo nice to work on." There's also something to be said for one-screen setups just because it is the same picture characteristics/refresh rate meaning your eyes aren't adjusting to different screens with minor variances.

Well, I made the mistake of being too cheap last year when I bought 2 more 27" monitors, the Dell U2722 which is 2K+ with DP and HDMI. I should have bought the one you mentioned, Dell Ultrasharp 27" U2723QE. That Samsung looks nice with Thunderbolt 4 support, would work nice on my new Mac Mini. Apple wants $2K USD for theirs made by Sony. Most of these panels are made by the same companies, and OEMs buy them and add a interface package to them, encase them in plastic and offer them for sale. Consider the video interface first, how your going to hook them up, and your video card and it's ports, like DP over HDMI. And the cables do make a difference, where I found 8K cables to be cheaper than 4K cables, and worth the price. Run a separate DP cable to each monitor, if your card supports it, or you can daisy chain DP with a single card port with the Dells. I like Dell, and even though I'm a ViewSonic reseller, I haven't bought one yet. PC's seem to lean towards Display Port, and Macs lean towards HDMI, and now Thunderbolt 4. The Samsung looks appealing to me, but no DP ports so I will pass on that one. And high end NVidia cards like DP ports as well.

I found taking my glasses off was the best solution. The progressives do not work because one must hold the head at just the right angle for a single line and it does not work going up and down the page/screen. Then after that it doesn't matter much what the monitor is doing.

I have 4 BenQ EL2870 (27.9", 3840 x 2160, built-in speakers), cost $250 each in 2022 from B+H Photo in NY. No problems. Used mostly for coding, occasional photos. BenQ changes their model numbers frequently, so you may not be able to get this exact model. I have found them to be the least expensive brand with the features I need.
