Comment on Ask HN: Best monitor for a MacBook Pro for ~US$700?

Comments

Personal experience has been great with Dell 27 4K UHD Monitor - S2721QS [0]. Similar workload to you although I am not a developer . Cost about 300 AUD. There's a USB-C one , too for about 700 SGD [1]

These are ok but I prefer the U line, eg the U2723q. 27” 4K also, but the display is much better. I know this because I have the U and S side by side at work.

Also, the U comes with what is essentially a USB-C dock with Ethernet and a built in KVM.

Caveat: This is in the US market.

Careful with Dells, their USB-C support for Macs have been historically horrible. I have one, there are sleep/wake issues, as well as USB accessories connectivity problems. Their website is full of complaints, but they don't seem to care.

Another vote for Dell Ultrasharp, and I _am_ a developer.
