Comment on Monitors for Work

Comments

Over the years I've settled on 27" 1440p IPS monitors. 2 on my office desk, 3 on my home desk.

I'm currently very satisfied with the Dell P2725DE [1] b/c of the following:

1. 100 Hz refresh rate. I stopped using 60Hz refresh rate monitors years ago and won't go back.

2. Much cleaner cabling. At work I only need to 2 cables: laptop -> usb-c cable -> monitor 1 -> Display Port MST cable -> monitor 2. The usb-c cable from my laptop to monitor 1 provides video and power. And being able to daisy chain from monitor 1 to monitor 2 helps minimize cable clutter (this cable routes out of sight along my monitor arm).

I got all of them refurbished at $163 each. I still feel that's an excellent price b/c, if I recall correctly, few others, if any, offered this unique combo of features I was looking for.
