Hello all! I've been a long time lurker of the displays section of Hardforum, mulling over all the possible options for replacing my current monitor. After months of research, I've come to the conclusion that none of the current options at 4K are really perfect. In fact, they all seem to have major flaws.
Thus, I make this thread here to ask you all of suggestions for an interim setup. I'm especially interested in forming a multi-monitor setup. I use my Dell 3007wfp for gaming, coding, and creative work which requires a large range of colors, an uniformity. My budget is $500 ($700 maximum), and I'm considering the following options:
1. I'm considering purchasing 2 Dell 2007fp (1600x1200) monitors to form a PLP setup with my current 3007wfp. This has the major Pro that it's dirt cheap. The major Con is that the 2007fp is even older than my 3007wfp.
2. I'm considering purchasing a Dell up3017. The major Pro is that it's the only monitor out there that has great color uniformity etc. The Con is that it's essentially the same thing I currently have, just with some better colors.
3. I'm considering the LG 31MU97Z-B. I don't know much about this, but it seems to have no color uniformity issues and is a terrific display.
4. I am considering one of the 32 inch 4Ks, though none of them seem to be able to compete with the colors of the UP3017.
5. Considering purchasing dual 2560x1440 displays, with plans to eventually add a 3rd display. I don't know which ones I would buy, but if I went this route, I'd want the monitors to have terrific color reproduction/uniformity etc, as well as a high refresh, and possibly g-sync. (Think I may make a separate thread about this).
Let me know which one of these option you think is best, if any.
