Was looking to see if there were any cheaper alternatives to the Dell U2715H (still around $560+ in the UK) and managed to find 2:
1. CrossOver 27개간지 (27Ganjidog) ~$350
2. QNIX QHD2730R ~$399 (+$20 for pivot stand)

When I say alternative to the Dell U2715H, I mean something with a really slim bezel and 27" 2560x1440 IPS with multiple inputs along with a VESA mount. I'm not a massive gamer so things like g-sync/freesync and 120/144hz is not important to me.

I'm currently using a cheapish Acer G277HU which is a 27" 2560x1440 monitor with multiple inputs but only a VN panel (pretty bad one too) and no VESA mount so I was looking for something with better viewing angles and with a VESA mount as I like to mount my monitors to an arm. These two monitors look like exactly what I'm looking for.

Here is some information about them:

Roughly the same width as the Dell U2715H but a little bit shorter without the stand.

Google translate doesn't seem to work so well with Korean so I don't really understand the reviews but it seems it may be able to run at 120Hz (Review 4) OR "virtual" 4k@30Hz (3840x2160) OR 5k@30Hz (5120x2880). Not sure what that "virtual" bit means?

This seems to be the monitor to go for IMO but I'll make another link for the CrossOver monitor too.

Ordered this myself and received it. Very lovely build quality. Slim bezels are amazing. Haven't tried running a higher res or refresh rate yet though. However one weird thing is the viewing angles don't look as good as an IPS panel although subjectively the colours look the same. I thought PLS and IPS were effectively the same?
