2K display for iMac 2017 27"

[radiohead007]

considering Second (external) display options for a 27 inch iMac. How do 2k monitors (2560x1440) look next a 5k iMac? Will it look odd for day to day dual monitor setup?

Looking at the BenQ SW2700PT for my photography pursuits. Open to suggestions. Thanks

A good place to look for possible choices:

not very helpful for my question, seems nothing more than a list of amazon associate commission links, but thanks.

Assuming you are running your 5K display in Retina HDPI and not native resolution, text and lines won't be as sharp, but window sizing will be identical (and that is more important to me).

I have 2 apple TBD 27" hooked up to my 5k imac and they look great as always.

thanks, good point (in Hdpi mode), will likely opt for a 27 2k
