Question Which monitor to choose for a laptop and future PC build?

[Matelo]

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a monitor to use with my current laptop. I plan to build a PC in the future, but since I don't have the budget yet, I'm starting with the monitor.
Main usage: work (light graphics and programming, 3D modeling), entertainment, movies, and occasional gaming.
Budget: around 200 euros, 300 max if it's a great deal.
Size and resolution: My desk isn't very deep, about 60cm, so would a 27" 1440p be suitable or should I consider a 24" instead?
I've already looked at models like the LG 27GS75Q, AOC Q27G4XD, and Dell G2725D but I'm unsure if they are good choices or if there are better options within my budget.
Thank you very much for your help!

You should also include your location and your preferred site for purchase since this site is based in the USA. If you can provide links to your e-tailers, it helps us see what you have access to, since brand and product availability can and will vary with respect to region.

You might want to include the apps that you intend to tax for work. I'm assuming you're looking at IPS panels.

Monitors these days come with HDMI and DP, with some having USB Type-C, is there any connectivity you'd need additionally due to your laptop? Make, model and SKU of your laptop would help to see if you can tax it above 1080p on an external display.

You could get a monitor arm and then have it articulated per your layout. The monitor would need to be VESA compatible.
