I have just invested a lot of hard-earned cash on a new MacMini and now attention turned to a display. I would appreciate some advice please. I am after something that is at least as good as my 'old' 2014 27" iMac display. I will use it for analysing trading data (so lots of numbers / graphs etc) and also for streaming 4k video and web conferencing for work. I am happy to get external speakers and webcam if the monitor doesn't include that. Thanks for helping out.
Got a tip for us?

You can try risking it by getting the Planar 27" 5K for $785 https://www.amazon.com/Planar-IX279...d=1&keywords=planar+27"&qid=1590245560&sr=8-4 which is the same LG panel as the iMac 5K but from my research its the panels that don't meet the quality requirements so they may have a couple dead pixels.

I just recently bought the UltraSharp 25 USB-C Monitor: U2520D. It's a great looking monitor! And it's still $380. That's $100 off.

LG 5K Ultrafine. Has speakers and webcam and USB-C hub. Great image right out the box. No fiddling. Just plug it in and you're good for the next 5 years. Set it and forget it.....

I actually am sending back my Dell 2520D QHD monitor. The whole left half of the screen has a warmer tint than the right half. You mainly only notice it when you have a white or bright screen on, but once you see it, you can't un-see it.
Today I just got an LG GN850 27" QHD from Best Buy. So far I am liking it much better than the Dell.
