That’s nice if your computer only has USB-c 3.1+ or Thunderbolt 3+ ports to avoid an adapter. The ViewSonic has not only DisplayPort and HDMI ports but also a USB-c port and comes with a USB-c 3.1 cable that lets you get 60 FPS at its 2560x1440 native resolution. There’s also a 27” 1440p variant of it for 10 bucks more if you wanted something bigger. Since then I’ve also recently purchased a 24” ViewSonic VG2455-2K 1440p monitor as an external monitor for a work laptop and it’s really good and about $300. If I were buying a new monitor today it would be this one. It’s basically the successor to the U2515H and happens to only be $300 too. It has the same resolution and nearly the same low level specs and panel. The above monitor is great and I’m still using it 5+ years later but the Dell U2518D makes for a very good alternative that is slightly newer. If you just want to cut to the chase, I ended up purchasing the Dell UltraSharp U2515H 2560x1440 monitor for $330 and it was one of the best development environment upgrades I’ve made in 5 years. I purchased a new monitor a month ago (it was back in Jan 2017 for reference!) and it was the result of days of research. The goal of this article is to explain all of the above so that you can make an informed decision when you purchase your next monitor.

Just read a few reviews and add it to your cart, easy peasy. You would think buying a monitor is easy. Lots of great picks to choose from which are linked below! Update for Sep 2022: Good news, a few of the updated monitor selections are back to normal prices of about $250-300. I added a very good “successor” monitor that’s $270 which has basically the same specs and a similar model number. 2020: The monitor now costs $550 instead of $330 which for most folks puts it into a much different price bracket. I would still purchase the same one today. 2019: It’s been close to 3 years since I bought the monitor we’re about to talk about here and I still love it.
