Looking for monitor

[Max1996LTT]

I'm looking for a new monitor, to replace the current one I'm using.

 

Budget: €250

Desired specs: 27", 2560x1440, IPS, at least 75 Hz, height adjustable.

Country: Netherlands

This stretches your budget a bit at 360 USD which I think is around 300 EUR (assuming the monitor sells at that price in your region), but:

Unfortunately, this is not an option. Here, that one is starting at €394.

Bummer, that's a pretty great display, even at that price I'd say.

I've found what looks like the perfect monitor, the Philips S-Line 275S1AE.

Looks fine on paper. I'm not familiar with it. If you care about performance I'd try to find some response time and color accuracy tests. I'm a snob when it comes to that stuff though so....

Watch even one of Hardware Unboxed's monitor videos (like the one above) and you'll have a general idea what to look for.

Edit: Each video you watch also increases the chance you'll never be able to purchase a budget display again. You can't unknow the truth. You've been warned.
