Best 2k Monitor for Design (U2717D vs UP2716D vs U2715H)

[intzaki]

Hello,

I would like to start by saying that I've been doing a lot of research on monitors lately and I work as a graphic designer. Basically I am stuck between these 3 models. I came to the conclusion of getting a 2K, IPS monitor (WQHD). I am not interested in any other models so please don't suggest any. I would like to know what the actual difference between the U2717D and the UP2716D is. They make so many models nowadays that I can't really tell them apart. Where I live, the monitors both cost the same price. The U2717D being like 5-10 euro extra. I do play games and they both come at 60Hz. But I really do not understand the difference between them. Putting the U2715H monitor which works great but, I want a higher end one, it comes down to the U2717D and the UP2716D. I want to see which is better and for what reason. This is all basically.

Thanks

The U2717D is the better monitor for design, as the UP2716D has a false 10 bit color depth on a native 8 bit panel through the use of FRC.
The U2717D uses a Samsung PLS panel, while the UP2716D uses an LG AH-IPS panel which is somewhat lesser in terms of image quality.
Get the U2717D, for 5-10 euros more it's well worth it.
