Hi all,

It’s been about 8 years since I’ve treated myself to some new monitors, so I’m a bit out the loop where to comes to what is currently available.

I’m a software developer, so 95% of the time will be spent developing with a small amount of time gaming.

I currently have a pair of Dell U2515H.

Specs I would love

Minimum QHD resolution, Single cable solution (power, display and data over single cable) Matte display Minimum 25"

Bonus

60Hz display VESA mount

Not sold on whether to go for duel screen again or ultrawide

Budget is fairly flexible preferably under £1000 for a pair though.

Looking forward to seeing what people recommend.

If this is the wrong community then my apologies I couldn’t see a monitor community.

Edit,

Thank you all for your replies, I’m currently looking at the dell u3223qe which ticks a lot of the boxes, was also considering one if the lg ultrafine models, but the usb hub + KVM is really selling me on the dell.

So while I keep looking for a little longer to make sure I haven’t missed anything, I think I’m going to end up with the dell (again)

    All I can say is that when I tried ultra wide, I was unimpressed. It’s good for somethings but it felt more awkward working on it than multiple displays.

    It’s absolutely a preference thing, but if you can just get a bigger screen instead of an ultra wide, that would be my pick. I ended up going multi screen with my work set up.

    Generally the return polices are pretty good so you can try something and return it if it doesn’t meet your expectations. I returned 3 ultrawides before I decided it just wasn’t what I wanted.
