Michael1 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hi Damien, I've been looking for a new monitor with a budget under £500. I've narrowed it down to the dell 2421e (£280) or the 2722d (£320). I'm more interested in quality than size but dont mind paying 40 more for the bigger monitor if the quality is comparable. They look very similar to me but I'm still pretty new to this. Could you tell me if they are similar enough and also if there are any obvious sub 500 monitors that I have missed that would outperform these?

Damien Symonds Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hi @Michael1 would you mind giving me links to the specs of each screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/f3b523f797 There are three monitors in this comparison, but just ignore the other one. Thanks for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The 2722 is definitely worth the extra 40 quid, because it's 10-bit. That's really good for smoothness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Thanks a lot for that, it's really helpful. I've also been offered a second hand eizo cg277 which looks to be even better as far as I can tell. https://www.wexphotovideo.com/eizo-coloredge-cg277-27-inch-monitor-1551161/?cpgnid=325838169&adext=&account=859-581-1486&campaign=PPC+-+DSAs+-+Monitors+-+ALL&group=DSAs+-+Monitors+-+ALL&mkwid=sGoEfJsds_dm&pcrid=399561045596&kword=&match=&plid=&pgrid=21434812929&ptaid=dsa-128263238409&si=&gclid=CjwKCAiAzKqdBhAnEiwAePEjkmQUY5GJYVqa1UBMmMQNcR7GXzeW1IUpMW6FHZSkcvcNRcBbJDvNVRoCVtAQAvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Heck yeah, the CG line are awesome. Will you get to see it working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Yes, making sure there are no dead pixels/even colour across the screen etc. I'm looking to do your raw class but after reading the articles nd comments I thought I would get more out of it if my screen is half decent.
