DELL u2515h vs AOC Q2577PWQ

[curlzman]

I want a 1440p display and colours are a bigger priority than refresh rate. That is why i have come to those two monitors but i cant deside which one is better. I cant find an answer or a tread so i tought i would ask.
Any other suggestions are welcome just note that i live in europe and some monitors will be cheaper/more expensive here.

i have a u2515h and the colours are fantastic. the matte finish is top notch. use it for lightroom and other adobe apps and i'm very happy with it. price was reasonable imo. the aoc panel looks almost identical to me. i believe both models are using LG LCD inside.

I think so. In the reviews i have seen the are almost similar. The dell is a tad more expensive but offers 4 usb3 ports (no idea what for 😀 ). There is one ms difference in response time and also the aoc has higher dynamic contrast ratio.
Ok if we get this things out of the way. do you use the usbs and can you live without them and the same about the stands swivel?

I personally don't use the USB ports on the screen as I have a 5.25" bay with usb and card readers on the front of my tower which I find more accessible, and an iphone dock stuck down on the desk next to my screen which offers a quicker easier charge than a cable dangling out of the screen.

the stand on the other hand I find amazing. it goes REALLY high so when I want to stand and read the screen is perfect. also have seen the u2515h used in vertical mode which looks very useful too in some setups.

I think they both go equally high. The only thing that the AOC's stand lacks is turning to the side ( your monitor faceing to the left. And i dont see it noted anywhere that the dell is flicker free.
