Ask HN: Great monitor for programming

1 points by eliben 12y ago ↗ HN

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

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