Hello.
I need a new monitor for my PC and I need your comments.

I am an architect. I work on drawing, designing, modelling etc...
So I use Autocad, 3DSMax, Photoshop, Catia etc programs

My preference monitor size is 27" . Maybe can be 32" (i am not sure)

You can find so many information for gamers. But there is no info for designer monitors.
There are some criteria for monitor choosing:

Display Sİze: 24", 27", 32"
Aspect Ratio: 16:9 or 21:9
Panel Type: TN, VA, IPS
Response Time: ...
Signal Frequency: 60, 75, 144 Hz
Resolution: 1920*1080, 2560*1440 (2K), 3840*2160 (4K)
I/O Ports: HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2

Which criteria should be higher priority?

Thanks in advance...

Panel type: only IPS. Other panels are junk for designers.

Dell UltraSharp monitors are awesome. Excellent color representation.

Great review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H-Hgk0lN-M

Just bought one of those myself. Plugged into iMac 27, compared colors with factory calibration. Colors were perfect. Same cannot be said for my 4 years old iMac.

Also BenQ displays are excellent, but slightly more expensive.
Specs for 27" PD2710QC: http://www.benq.us/product/monitor/pd2710qc/specifications/

Both monitors are 2k monitors. I did extensive research before buying. Found something wrong with monitors from all other vendors, only Dell and BenQ matched my requirements (27" with 2k resolution and excellent color precision)

For designer what matters more is color support. Monitor must have perfect color. Only IPS panels can deliver that. Stay away from all TN panels, so #1, #4, #9 are out.

From the rest only 2 monitors have color support information in their specs:

Asus VZ27AQ: 100% sRGB
BenQ EW2770QZ: 100% sRGB, Rec.709

Very good color support, the rest of stats are good as well.

Other monitors look like average gaming/business monitors.
