Approximate Purchase Date: Immediately.
Budget Range: $300-400 after rebates. Can stretch $30-40 more if significantly more value.
Monitor Usage from Most to Least Important: Programming (some minor design and PS work too), Internet, Movies and video.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference. Newegg, Amazon, whatever is fine.
Country of Origin: US
Brand Preferences: None
Physical Size (Diagonal): 25-27" If it doesn't make sense to get a 27" monitor at a 1920x1080 resolution then I'll drop down to a 25".
Resolution(s) You'll Consider: 1920x1080, 1920x1200
Inputs Needed: HDMI
Panel Type(s) Desired: Not sure? If it makes sense to get a smaller IPS monitor for my use case, that sounds good I guess? You would know better than me.
LED Backlight: Indifferent
Speakers: Avoided, but not too important either way.
Wall-Mount: Avoided.
Stand Functions: No preferences. Will probably just use as a normal monitor.
Additional Comments: Emphasis on image quality, I never play games. Must be new (I just can't bring myself to trust refurb /used). I spend pretty much my entire day in front of a computer monitor between my work and programming for fun, so I'm trying to avoid anything with defects that will annoy me over time. I've heard a lot of larger monitors tend to have gradients across the screen, this is definitely something that I'm trying to avoid as much as possible.
Thanks for any help! I've been searching for about a month now, and I really can't wait too much longer to buy one.
