Looking for a new monitor for graphics, web & image work

[redlion]

Hi,

I am looking for a new monitor for graphics, web and photo editing. There are so many choices but am after a 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 panel for under £250.

I want it to produce good colours and be sharp. 100% sRGB? Not interested in gaming.

I am tempted by a 27" 1440p but my current machine might not have the horsepower to even power it? Intel HD4000 laptop?

I have this laptop http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Latitude-E5530-Notebook.80165.0.html with Intel HD4000, HDMI or via a dock Display Port. The laptop has a 81 percent of the sRGB standard which isn't that good compared to a dedicated monitor.

Any one have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

I moved to 1440p about 6 months ago and my partner uses my old 1080p screen and there is no way I could ever go back to 1080p now as it just seems soo basic! If you have displayport this should power 1440p ok but hdmi is really not designed for anything above 1080p.

Which monitor do you have?

Yes when I dock the laptop I have access to display port so it should be able to power it fine. The dell u2713h seems like a good one but expensive. I guess you get what you pay.

I got the cheaper u2713hm as it's native sRBG rather than extended gamut and I would have no need for extended gamut.

3rd gen HD 4000 should be able to support up to 2560 x 1600. On the Dell E5xxx series you'll probably need to use the displayport.
