Amazon.com: Dell S2721QS 27 Inch 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Ultra-Thin Bezel Monitor, AMD FreeSync (HDMI, DisplayPort), VESA Certified, Silver: Computers & Accessories
Mod Price Update: $303.94
I was shopping for a new home use and gaming monitor, and I was about to get the LG 27UL500-W, which is a Prime deal for $299.99, but then I noticed this Dell 27" 4k HDR Freesync IPS monitor, which is comparable - however the Dell has higher brightness (350 cd/m^2), contrast (1300:1), slightly wider sGRB color gamut, thinner bezel and a much better stand (adjustable height/tilt/rotation vs fixed) for the same price. It even includes speakers as a bonus.
After a little further research this seems to me like the better buy, and at $299.99 is lower than previous posts for this Dell.

It'll be great for me coming from an old 24" 1900x1200@60 Hz monitor.
You're quoting from the Dell 32" BTW

Thanks, fixed
I think either would work, but this would have a bit better ease of use and ergonomics due to the adjustable stand.
This short comparison video is worth a quick look

Agree it's not a high end 4k gaming monitor since it's only 60 Hz, but not anyone needs or can afford a high refresh 4k gaming monitor.
