Most of the monitors we use are Dells, in the ultrasharp range.  They actually upgraded me to a new 4K monitor the other day and then realised the graphics card in my machine couldn’t run it, so it went away again.
I have no idea how they compare to anything else but I can only suggest that you include the price of a calibrator, such as an xrite i-display pro, into your overall budget.

I know Monitors has been the subject of many threads over time –– but when I’m not in the market I tend not pay very close attention. 

But Today: my trusty old 24” Apply display used as a secondary monitor where I preview After Effects sequences has begun to grow dim. It’s about 8 years old, so I think a replacement is due.

Usage: 
β€’ A loaded up late 2015 iMac (32 GB RAM β€’ 1 TB SSD β€’ MD Radeon R9 M395X 4096 MB β€’ RAID etc.)
β€’ Connected via Thunderbolt2, through an OWC breakout box
β€’ Used for After Effects Previews (have my timeline and frequently used windows on the built-in 27” 5K display)

I’m thinking I’d like 27” or larger. Not looking for a bargain brand but on the other hand, I’m not doing 4K deliveries either. Non broadcast, HD, corporate.

Sharing of suggestions / experiences (good and bad) would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Craig
