I need to replace my DELL U2413 https://www.dell.com/ae/business/p/dell-u2413/pd, looking over at Dell this model appears to have superseded it as is the recommend via link https://www.dell.com/ae/business/p/dell-up2516d-monitor/pd
I bought the Dell based on online forum recommendations, possibly here. It was a beautiful screens and the colour rendering was impeccable.
However, it developed a serious backlight bleed that made it really uncomfortable to use but I did not fully appreciate until I moved it into a less bright room recently, so it could have been like that for 2 years!
Now it's out of warranty.
I'm on a old dull dell monitor and things are like mush.
Thus, I need some help and guidance, TBH I'm thinking 27" is going to be too big, even the 23" I found big enough or little bit big, and it was 1980x1200. Unless there is a better Physical Size + Res, I found the extra height useful sometimes but I am starting to think it was the undetected backlight bleed that made it a bit uncomfortable to look at and not the size in the end (but 23" or thereabouts seem plenty big), it was such weird hard to put you finger on it thing, once I switch to a lesser but no backlight bleeding, calm was restored, crazy as that seems, but you don't really spot it until you have a very dark room, and the screen is on but black.
Ok to the point - I'm looking at LG since the Dell experience has been bad, and don't want to go that route again if it can be avoided.
Colour Gamut is important, anti-glare, the Dell was 1920*1200 if I remember and that was fine but I do like the 16:9 ratio too, but that extra native height is good for design work.
Naturally there are display limit to the Macmin6,2 - If there was a native 2560*1600 23-25" model I'd consider it! I haven't seen such a spec-config yet. Mostly 2560*1440 but I'd probably also settle right now to have a nice screen for 1920*1080
Any pointers suggestion very much welcomed, because I also have the added disadvantage of not even being abel to go to a store and look at monitors due to the ongoing madness - Thanks!
