Pick a monitor

Solution
I don't have much info on the newer u2417h but I'm currently using the u2414h. I'm really happy with it. Another solid monitor for design work though it's a bit older, the viewsonic vp2365-led.

Depending on the graphics design you do it may or may not matter. It used to be that ips panels were 8bit but in the past couple years or so they've been going to 6bit + frc dithering. Web design won't matter as much since everyone's displays aren't going to be perfectly matched. Even if your screen is calibrated perfectly if someone's viewing it on an improperly calibrated screen it's still going to be 'off'. If using it for print work then accuracy becomes more critical. The viewsonic I mentioned is a true 8bit panel, not dithered.

Looks like I'll get the U2417H insted of U2414H just because it's newer. I did find somone on reddit saying the ASUS MX259H is a better option ;( I really can't decide

While the dell is nice it isn't a true 8bit, it's a 6bit + frc panel.

I've used both and both monitors are pretty nice for the price. Of course there are nicer or more accurate screens out there but pro panels by companies like Eizo tend to get pretty pricey.
