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 rock a pair of these: LG UltraGear QHD 27-Inch Gaming Monitor 27GL83A-B - IPS 1ms (GtG), with HDR 10 Compatibility, NVIDIA G-SYNC, and AMD FreeSync

Works great for games and productivity. My only complaint is that at 144Hz in HDR the panels tend to get rather warm - causing my eyes to feel dry after a while. Not sure if that's just this model or a common thing.

Personally I prefer multiple discrete screens to a single panel. While working they help me mentally isolate primary and secondary tasks and windows. While gaming I turn one off completely, or keep maps, guides, helpers on the secondary.

That has certainly been my preference in the past, and at the moment I've lost one of my monitors to my wife, which is even more painful.
