Hey guys,

 

I am thinking of buying a new monitor for a friend for him birthday.

 

He will mainly use it for coding and development work and will not be he only monitor. 

 

I am currently having issues trying to decide on what kind of monitor for him. 

Would you recommend either 2 X 1080P monitors, 1 X 1440P or 1 X ultrawide monitor for this work load.

 

If you could let me know what kind of monitor you would recommend and a model of possible.

 

Thank you in advance.

Just had a quick look for this kind of monitor in my area but would be around $1000.

A little out of my budget. 

 

 

Looking around $500-600

Then I guess 1080p IPS or an Ultrawide is your only option

 

Ultrawides can be good for productivity but are an acquired taste

My friend just got an Asus PB278Q which is 1440p, IPS and 27 inch. It seems really good and has a nice stand too.

This site is Aussie but shipping is still a factor, but some stores where I live (Perth) had it in stock or available for order with no extra cost.
