I can't comment on the rest but I just got a Dell U2719dc which I'm very happy with it. It has a better panel than the S2719dc because it's Ultrasharp and is way more adjustable and has a VESA mount. Also I have no need for freesync. It's 'only' QHD but is very popular in the hackintosh community because it works well as a Mac monitor. Probably worth you reading this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/afast5/dell_u2719dc_vs_s2719dc/I decided against 4K because to get the features/colour accuracy/display quality I wanted was going to be too pricey. It looks great to me but I've never had a 4k monitor...

Hi gang,
Need more screen real estate, and for better posture I'm looking at 27" monitors to plug my MBP into.. but given the laptop is quite old now, wondering if the money on a new monitor is worth it or if I should refresh the whole setup altogether. opportunity to start over perhaps and get that instagrammable minimalist desk look.
Plan A) buy one of the following monitors any other 27" QHD/4k IPS display like these and some cables and keep running the rMBP from 2012 until it dies, then replace the laptop eventually?
dell-s2719dm
acer-h277hk-4k
dell-ultrathin-s2719dc
hp-pavilion-quantum-dot-display
samsung-lu28e590ds-4k
Plan B) just suck it up and buy a 5k iMac given the MBP never leaves the house anyway, but I'd prefer to have an awesome monitor that anything could plug into as for work I use a Windows 10 device and it would be awesome to alternate that and the MBP with the screen (hence selling the Thunderbolt Display recently)
so... was torn between the DELL S2719DM and the SAMSUNG LU28E590DS but the HP Pavilion has so many ports (hdmi/displayport/usb-c/usb? ... is there any reason not to / go for one of the others / reconsider?
I'm sure you realised by now that I don't really know much about monitors... but I'd like the "retina" detail of my rMBP on a far larger surface please k thx bai.
