Dell UP2718q
$1,999.99

It's not 144hz so I wouldn't play CS on it, and it's not 16:10 so I wouldn't spreadsheet on it. What's the use case here?

Also a 144hz IPS at 1440p with adaptive sync is the best monitor to have right now.

you dont need adaptive sync just get a titan xp

also that sounds like some asus butt touching, heart excited, kind of monitor with red accents and lasers you cant turn off. show me this display

I run two monitors: an Asus MG279Q for the streets and a Dell U2412M for my 'sheets.

I don't see color very well anyway for example I usually can't tell a navy suit from a black one.

Also if each frame is a 4 out of 10 for quality I still come out ahead because I get 3 times as many.

i need to be able to throw them in a pelican case and drive/fly/ship them around fairly easily

i'm mostly concerned with an easy to detach stand & general build quality, but i'm also looking for a price point that won't hurt too much if they get stolen or trashed


use case is mostly spreadsheets, databases & code so color calibration isn't an issue

Ok, so you plan to look at it with your eyes for EVERY use case? Hm... better get a colorimeter just to be safe.

mine is 16ms. which is one frame. You can't get any faster than rendering one frame to the screen after input.

buying a monitor for input delay is dumb because it's always the refresh rate of the display, Input delay is only a thing for consumer trash tvs because they shove modes into it

1 frame at....60hz lol

sioled internet is going to occur because web browsers are building their own adblockers in to collect money from people who whitelist.

hope you enjoy installing and patching 4 browsers because argh someone made you want to buy a thing

I would rather not use the internet than be exposed to the toxic advertising people poo poo all over, so this works great for me.

Hey I'm recovering from LASIK and I want to calibrate my monitor now that I see a whole new world. What's the best free way to do this?

Use this reference image and adjust your monitor until the colors are correct:
