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, but this one has as higher brightness, contrast, thinner bezel and a much better stand (adjustable and rotating vs fixed) for the same price. After a little further research, this seems like the better buy, and at $299.99 is lower than previous deals for this Dell

Is this better than the LG UL500 for general coding?

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

Chase cardholders, remember to check if you also qualify for the $15 off $50 when using UR points in your Amazon purchase - see front page deal (sadly I did not qualify)

Here is the link [amazon.com]

As an alternative, you'll receive 5% back using your Amazon Prime Rewards Visa which would be $15 on this deal.

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.

It'll be great for me coming from an old 24" 1900x1200@60 Hz monitor.

You're quoting from the Dell 32" BTW

Just received this and the comparable LG 27UL850. Returning the LG and using the cost savings toward a USB C dock. Hardly noticed any differences in picture quality.

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

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.

How does this Acer compare? You need Costco membership. It's $249.99 plus you get a Costco Shop Card worth 15% of the purchase (~$37.50).
