Hi all,

It's been about 8 years since I've treated myself to some new monitors, so I'm a bit out the loop where to comes to what is currently available.

I'm a software developer, so 95% of the time will be spent developing with a small amount of time gaming.

I currently have a pair of Dell U2515H.

Specs I would love

Minimum QHD resolution, Single cable solution (power, display and data over single cable) Matte display Minimum 25"

Bonus

60Hz display VESA mount

Not sold on whether to go for duel screen again or ultrawide

Budget is fairly flexible preferably under £1000 for a pair though.

Looking forward to seeing what people recommend.

If this is the wrong community then my apologies I couldn't see a monitor community.

Edit,

Thank you all for your replies, I'm currently looking at the dell u3223qe which ticks a lot of the boxes, was also considering one if the lg ultrafine models, but the usb hub + KVM is really selling me on the dell.

So while I keep looking for a little longer to make sure I haven't missed anything, I think I'm going to end up with the dell (again)

I went 34" ultrawide. I work in IT so frequently researching and comparing things. Window snapping has been a thing for decades and now that window 10 finally joined the bandwagon there's really no reason to use 2 monitors if you don't have to. It's bezeless dual monitors. Mines also 144hz which is nice even when I'm not gaming. Next time I'd probably go even bigger.
