Hello,

I would like to purchase a new monitor because my old u2413 had some blackligh bleeding and they send me the money back.Since 24" wasn`t felt enough i thinked that i should try a 27" one instead.
Mostly i'll be using this for phto editing, but graphics, web design and video editing will be also regulary present.
I narrow my searches to thease 4 monitors :

Dell - UltraSharp U2713H
Philips - 272P4APJKHB
BenQ - SW2700PT
HP - Z27i

I need your advices because a readed pros and cons on every one of it.
Every suggestion is welcomed.

Thanks!

ps. I don`t think that the 4k monitors in this range of price are that good, and you need super computers to make them reach the 60hz refresh rate.

Hello, The four options you have listed are really all good monitors. If you are really looking for great color, I would definitely go with IPS or AH-IPS over the AHVA monitor you have selected. AHVA still displays nice colors, but it sacrifices some color to get faster speeds. And if every pixel really matters to you, I would go with the Dell due to the AH-IPS bringing out more color. If there is anything else you need, I will try to get back to you as soon as possibile.

No problem! I don't like Dell's support very much either, but I do like the monitors they sell. Sometimes it can be hard to choose one or the other! :p
