I'm looking to replace a monitor, and was looking for one that runs at 3840 x 2160, mainly as this seems to be the max res within my budget. I'm a software developer, so res is important, but I don't play games or watch videos, so high-end graphics are not.
Whilst on Dell's site (to check the specs of the one to be replaced), I saw a S2817Q, for £249 (inc VAT).
Looking on amazon for similar monitors (same res, 4 stars and up, max £310) showed 7 results, all of which were a higher price, and none of which seemed to be noticeably better. The same Dell monitor there was quite a bit more expensive as well.
So, have I found a good deal, or did I miss something?
I'm not hardware expert at all, so please be gentle, but feel free to point out anything I may have missed.
In case it's relevant I have an AMD FirePro w4100 card, which is also supporting the following monitors...
Asus PB278Q (2560 x 14400
AOC V22 (1920 x 1080)
Dell E2311H (1920 x 1080)
The new monitor will replace a faulty Dell U2311H (1920 x 1080).
Thanks
