So I finally went for a new monitor, this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-EW3270U-Enjoyment-Brightness-Intelligence/dp/B07BBRLTRH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=K550PF9TUOQ6&keywords=benq+ew3270u&qid=1577721187&sprefix=benq+ew%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-1
The colours are a bit shit, but nothing a good calibration can't solve.
However, I have found out the USB-C port doesn't seem to work and instead of returning it, I am thinking I might be able to get a discount from Amazon.
I would definitely want to return and get a new one if the USB C does charging but it doesn't so it got me thinking, I might as well just stick to the displayport for my PC and HDMI for my Mac... I'll still need 2 cables after all...
So the monitor costs me £381, how much discount is reasonable for a faulty USB C port?
PS, I have tried the usual troubleshoot and 3 different cables... so I am pretty certain it is faulty.
Update:
Done my calibration, the colours are much better but stil a bit shit, but then I knew this would be the case with it being a VA monitor and not an IPS... but since I don't do much photography these days, the colours are good enough. And the big screen make modelling much more enjoyable!! :-)
On the faulty USB-C port front, managed to get 25% off, so almost £100 off, I am pretty impressed with myself. They were going to give me 10% but I said 1 of the 4 ports don't work and that's 25% of the monitor that doesn't work... :-P
