Current setup:
2015 MacBook Pro 13'
Dell U2312hm 1080p

Usage:
- photo & video editing
- the rest

As you can see, the 1080p monitor is falling short after getting used to Apple's Retina display. Hence I'm looking for an upgrade for the monitor.

I have a few models in my mind and they're all from Dell. So maybe got sifu would recommend me something better at the same price bracket instead being a Dell fanboy.

- RM2299 - P2715Q 27' 2160p
- RM1999 - UP2516D 25' 1440p (premier colour) 100% sRGB probably overkill though
- RM2099 - U2715H 27' 1440p
- RM2299 - U2717D 27' 1440p (infinity display)

anyone please enlighten me?

he needs at least QHD or 4k already. the one you're recommending is still only 1080.

U2715H all the way

I got the predecessor monitor U2713HM in 2014 and its still solid today

Thanks for the suggestion, will look into those models cause I never had a Viewsonic monitor before.

yeah, it's a fine choice, but given the P2715Q 2160p is about the same price, well well well

around 2.2k perhaps

Here are some good read for u:

4k in smaller screen not nice one

Bigger screen better

Thanks, it was a great read.

Why 4K in smaller screen is not nice?

I thought it would be sharper, if I scale it down.

Just like the macbook's 2560*1600 on 13.3 inch display

4k in small screen is not nice...true. at least 27"inch or above is better for 4k.
U will have issue with most especially browsing or daily task.

Haha i still prefer 4k in 32 inch

4k needs to be at least 32 inches up to 40 inches to avoid any scaling imo

P2715Q looks interesting for a 4k monitor. Might replace my 2410 with it.

Urgh my dream is to get an ultrawide monitor but all cost like 2-4k

If using native 4K resolution with 1:1 scaling, everything would be minuscule.

But why avoid scaling though, in fact scaling should make the content appear much sharper.

LG's 29UM68 is only about 1.1k.. (;

Without G-sync?

AFAIK all LG monitors are Freesync.

I see...since I got an Nvidia GPU so I was thinking to switch over to an Ultra Wide G sync monitor but all of them cost like 2k for 27"

After research, I'll get a 27-inch 2160p monitor for the following reasons:
- panel size upgrade from 23 to 27
- 2160p scale to 1080p for that retina-ish crispiness

wut chu getting

Haha, that's the next question, I'm still researching on the exact model I'm going to get. But at least I sorted out my requirements.

Currently lean towards the dell P2715Q

well $$ is yours but hey hope you found the right one then
