Quote from RichardR1490 :

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

You need the price in the title....Use the Go Advanced button to add to title.

Cheaper than the Dell by about $40. Good deal!

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
