The reviews are just so good it seemed worth the extra and you get extra ports. I was going for the 25" but capitalised on leaving FRS VAT to get a 'free' upgrade to the 27" now I can reclaim 20%!

So my Mac Mini supports a maximum of 2560x1440 through DisplayPort and only 1920x1200 from the HDMI port, though I can use both at once.
A full 4K monitor therefore seems a bit daft... in fact would driving it at 2560*1440 look crap anyway? Is 2560x1440 a standard resolution, that monitors are built to... and does it have a moniker like 3K or super-duper-VGA I can use for searching?
My backup monitor is making an annoying noise so may have to go too; I'm considering a landscape 2560x1440 and a portrait HD monitor could be one option. Maybe get the former and see if I need the latter.
UPDATE
Yes it's WQHD. Seems ~£300 is the going rate. I saw the Dell U2515H and a 27" Ilyama at that price... decisions decisions!
The Dell U2518D is £100 more than the U1515H but same sort of featureset... is this just for more serious users like gamers?Last edited by d000hg; 29 September 2017, 22:31.

Didn't change anything now it just alternates every second from single display to extended and back again. WTF!
Anyone had this and resolve it? Driving me nuts!

Excellent screens
Excellent, even works with my KVM (client laptop/company laptop connected through USB docking station).
Almost too much screen estate, but can have two full sized windows side by side; and as a PM, the viewablity of MS Project is excellent!
