Ask HN: Great monitor for programming

1 point·eliben··3 comments

I'm on the market for a new monitor, and the Amazon reviews are not very helpful since they focus gaming. My demands are simple: 2560x{1440,1600} resolution, either 27" or 30", good warranty and reliability.

Main usage: programming on Ubuntu (Vim, terminals, web browsers).

What do you recommend?

Thanks in advance

I don't really know much about monitors, but all I know is if you stick with the big brands you should be alright. BenQ, Asus and Dell monitors seem to be quite popular or so I'm told.

I've been using Apple's 27" display for a couple of years now, and have been happy with it.

I use a Dell U2711. But I needed perfect color calibration.
