Best colour accurate monitor for 300

[UnycornyRainbow]

So I'm looking for a new monitor for not really more than 300€ (so far I had some randome 1080p, 60hz, bad response time display from LG). I want WQHD and a very good colour accuracy. I want to do photo/video editing, drawing (with a graphics tablet) and a bit light gaming (refresh rate and response time are not that important). I'm working in srgb.

By now I have fgured out the Benq 2500Q and the Ilyama Prolite XUB2792QSU would fit the best, but I just can't decide.

I'm looking for some tips to help me decide.

In my opinion, I'd go for the BenQ monitor, they're generally more reputable for their color accuracy, I can't comment on Ilyama monitors having never used one outside of low-end school computers.

I've had my BL2420PT from BenQ for almost a year now and I've no complaints really - great colours (100% sRGB), good enough response times, even for competitive games such as CS:GO (though I've always been used to 60Hz and average response times, so I didn't really have anything better to compare it to), and sharp at 1440p and 24 inches. Got mine for about €250 if I remember correctly.

See if anything here is available to u.

Additionally ur most likely going to need to calibrate what ever u get, factory calibrations are not always so good. A cheap calibrator costs in the region of £/$100-200 (eg. X-rite i1 Display Pro, Datacolor SpyderX). or get it calibrated by som1 u know who owns one.

 

The

seems like a good choice.

 

if u really dont care about Adobe RGB and want to rely on factory calibration, see the following.

Thanks, your monitor sounds also quite interesting but I'd like to have a bit bigger screen, I think 25 or better 27 inch. How do you get along with this high pixel density?(I'm only used to 93 ppi or less^^)

It is noticeably sharper than my old 1080p 22" monitor, and while it is obviously not quite as sharp as a high resolution phone or even laptop display (as those are much smaller), it still looks great and pixels are unnoticeable, unless you get within just a few centimeters of it.

 

Even at 27 inches though, the PPI count will be around 100-110.
