E2417H considered as "Essential"

but he specs are 99.9% identical to the "Professional" series...i am missing something here?(the differences are only physical like pivot and usb3.0 which dosen't that matter to me)

Flexible stand (Pivot, tilt, swivel, height, etc) and more ports pretty much. P model has a bit faster responce time (still nothing impressive though).

Without a proper thorough review its impossible to tell what the real differences are.

Specs tell only a fraction of the information you actually need to determine if a monitor is good or not. Only reviews can tell u what u need to know.

its possible these 2 monitors have completely different panels that while having very similar specs, or even the same specs, will actually performs very different when reviewed.

 

If you care enough about your next monitor purchase that your askign question like this i highley sugest you only buy / consider buying a monitor that has been properly reviewed.

 

Among other places, rtings.com and tftcentral.co.uk have competent reviews, though they each use different testing methods so its not easy to compare results between multiple websites.
