Help Me Choose a 27” Monitor for Programming.

See if you can pick up a HUAWEI MateView second hand. The BenQ RD280U but over your budget. However the MateView is the same aspect ratio and that extra vertical space is great for programming. I've owned both previously.

This is what I got for amonitor under warranty. Is there any hope ?

Ugh, really a shame reading this. I was planning on buying a few RD280UGs to compliment my 40" Dell UltraSharps and BenQ's supposedly good warranty service was a big factor in that :\ Guess not, smfh.

Is RD280UG just a paper launch?

I would recommend the Gawfolk 28,2 inch monitor. Same display as the rd280u but for less than 1/4th of the price. It‘s a steal ! Kuycon P20 ist also an 28.2 inch 3:2 monitor but with 4,5k resolution instead of 4k only 4k like the Benq.

BenQ RD280U vs ASUS PA27JCV 5K for programming on macOS?

I'll buy 5k monitors instead. I returned RD280U.I have Samsung Viewfinity 5k 27 inch but looking for second monitor as PA27JCV or BenQ 5K. Still not decided. 5K has better text.
