Hi all,

I'm finally looking to get a second monitor for my 27" 2015 5K iMac. Since it would be directly hooked up, it definitely needs Thunderbolt, but having HDMI and DP would be a bonus if I needed to use it with other machines at some point.

I'm thinking 27" to keep it matched up size-wise. Usage is just as a second monitor - non-glossy would be preferable, since I have lights just above and behind where the computer sits.

Haven't been monitor shopping in a pretty long time, so I don't really know what prices are like right now, but I'm thinking a max budget of around $350'ish.

I'm just starting to look around, but if anyone has some good suggestions, that would be appreciated. I remember Samsung being very good, and I'm not sure how good LG is these days - years ago, they didn't have a great reputation. I know Dell has also been really good in the past few years.

Thanks!
