I have been using this ACER computer R231 and not happy with picture quality.

I would like recommendation on middle range monitor.


- use mainly for internet surfing

- use for graphic processing using photoshop

- no gaming so don't need inbuild speaker

- so most important if beautiful colors and non-straining to eyes

- no problems with reliability for 3 years.

Can somebody recommend please

Highly dependent on your budget, many people have recommended me the DELL U2720Q, albeit a little on the pricey side. If slightly smaller screen then the U2520D. I have been using the DELL U2311H for a good 8-9 years now. Have worked wonders for me. But I just bought the Lenovo P27u-10 and i really love it, colours are great, ports are aplenty and the price for what u get cannot be beat. I paid just over RM1.7k for it coz its on sale with usage of a voucher.

U should go survey the many brands available, I was also considering BenQ, but both the DELL and BenQ was lacking 1 port. I needed 4 ports and they each had 3. Also check out the offerings from LG like the 27UL600.

Since ur doing photoshop, try searching for a monitor which has at least 99% sRGB coverage with a colour accuracy of Delta E<2. If your PC is capable, of course, a 10 bit panel and high adobeRGB coverage (>95%) would be nice, but this comes at a premium and most people do not require it.

I have a 24” BenQ LCD monitor that is still going strong. Bought it all the way back in 2009 and is still punching above its weight with no dead pixels. Not sure about BenQ’s quality now, but if I am to replace my unit I’d go for the same brand.

I don't need so many ports. 2 is enough.

What is most important is the color quality and sharpness of text and reliability (doesn't give problems later).

I am using ACER R231 (IPS panel) now.

Which is better? DELL or BENQ?
