    I picked up this one in December: Samsung 32" UJ590 UHD Monitor

    https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/uhd-and-wqhd/32-uj590-uhd-monitor-lu32j590uqnxza/

    I have been very happy with it. Decent number inputs. Clear screen. Easy to access on screen menu. Picture in picture option.

    I admit, my monitor was more expensive from Amazon. But it was a end of year company bonus type of thing. It only came in Amazon credit. This was the best monitor I could get for the credit.

    I was also sold on the Samsung name as I haven't had any issues with my other Samsung products. The picture in picture and multiple inputs were very important for what I needed.

    I have the Samsung side by side with a 32 inch Sceptre and that makes the Samsung look even better. I havem't had an LG, so can't give comments on that.

    I have never heard of a "4K" PC monitor, other than those "Thunder"-something ones that required a thick cable.

    I would be interested to hear about comparisons of the two types, side by side.

    Occasionally, I see screens in a store like Staples that I don't like, eg. when I look at them "it's clear" that's not the one for me, sort of thing. Other than that the only thing I can say is that the "Retina" ones generally seem better... for a lot more money. frown

    Related: I have never looked at a "Cintiq" screen. Have those kept up with the technology, I wonder.

    As far as I remember, 4k computer monitors are often referred to as UHD. But are essentially the same. There may be some technical differences or I may have the term wrong.

    Dell hasn't been something I've recommended in a while. The past ten years or so their support has gone signiicantly down. I don't know about the hardware as a result. I used to swear by Dell though.

    I used this for a while and it was nice, but I shelved it and brought my LG 3440 x 1440 ultra-wide back into play. I just didn't like how much juice the 4k monitor required with the Daz viewport, particularly because I use Iray preview a lot. Bigger viewport = more juice needed for the Iray preview. Also, the ultra-wide is just so damn beauteous to game on. Once you go ultra-wide for gaming, you won't ever want to go back. I think for practically purposes, 2k is the sweet spot. 

    In terms of color accuracy, I make sure to go with anything that covers or is at least 99% coverage of the sRGB gamut. You can find monitors that will give specs on the AdobeRGB gamut, but I don't need screen to print accuracy anymore and everything on the web uses sRGB. If it doesn't tell you minimum of 99% coverage of the sRGB gamut, then I wouldn't waste your time. Also, I'd make sure to pick up an IPS panel to avoid color/contrast wonkification on viewing angles. The bigger the monitor, the more this matters. I initially bought a cheaper 4k model when I was shopping that wasn't an IPS panel (I think it was a TN panel) and then had to return it because things would literally turn color on me as I would watch them scroll from the top to the bottom of the screen. That's no deal for me.
