Is this 1440p display a good one for productivity?

[Guest]

I am interested in buying 2 1440p displays so I have more display space then my 1080p displays, my main use case will be programming, watching video's, browsing the web, and creating scenes in UE4.

I came across this display: Lenovo L24Q-10 IPS 23.8" QHD 16:9 60Hz

It is a 24" LED IPS display, 1440p, and 6ms refresh time. For more info, look it up.

Do you think it is a good display?

I may sometimes use it for a little bit of gta v, but not much.

 

 

Thanks

Well, the display I mentioned was 200Euro's($235), it was the cheapest I could find in my country.(the Netherlands)

I haven't used Lenovo monitor's before, but DELL UltraSharps are pretty freakin' good on the colour side of things.

Had two UltraSharp U2414M's in the past.

 

What other options do you have in the price range?

Yeah, Dell monitors seem to be the best. Amazing display and tiny bezels.

UltraSharps are good indeed, this one looks like a good one except for the price:

Dell UltraSharp U2518D, it's 317Euro's(~$340)

that is 117 euro's more expensive, just for thinner bezels.

What is different between the panels, aren't all 1440p panels the same on sharpness?

Dell does color calibration on the UltraSharps at the factory, but you can adjust any monitor within reason usually.  Maybe not professionally, but you can adjust it.

 

The Lenovos are likely to be fine for you, but ideally you should see them in person, perhaps in comparison to other models at a shop that already has some type of input connected to them so you can see and compare images, etc.

 

Also, there's different panel technologies as well ex. compare IPS vs. TN, etc.

You would be better off with a 27" 1440p monitor. You'd have more screen real estate for all the windows you'll open while programming, and the ppi of a 24" 1440p is too high for a lot of people, 27" 1440p is better. If you're set on a 24" monitor 1440p might not be worth it because of how small everything would be.

 

Someone mentioned the ultrasharps, and I'd second that. The design of the monitor's themselves a pretty slick, and if I'm not mistaken the ultrasharps have a pretty good warranty as well? Apparently the 25" 1440p monitors they have are also good (and cheaper), despite being a bit smaller. 

 

The benq EW2770QZ would be a better choice for gaming if you don't mind the issues that can be caused by a lack of adaptive sync. I say this because it has a better input lag than the ultrasharps.

Ultrasharps may be color calibrated at the factory, but they are fricking expensive. The Lenovo has ips, which I believe has beter colors then TN and VA, and has better viewing angles. It also says it covers 99% of the sRGB colorpsace, does that mean it is calibrated?

Currently, I have a 21" 1080p monitor which I feed a 1440p signal, I can read it fine, although it is a bit blurry because the resolution is larger then the screen.

That's why I chose this one. There are 27" and even 32" displays, but they are all TN or VA here, unless I pay another $70 for the next IPS display of 27".

You say their 25" 1440p is cheaper, you have a link where I can buy?

 

I don't do gaming, so the benq isn't really for me, it is also too expensive as it costs $180 more here.(I can buy a second 1080p monitor for that)
