From the ad copy of a Dell U2720Q 4K 27":
> Exceptional color: Get wide color coverage with 95% DCI-P3 – which covers approximately 25% more color space than sRGB – for true color reproduction. This monitor also offers 99% sRGB and 99% Rec 709 color coverage.
> Outstanding color depth: With and outstanding color depth of 1.07 billion colors (that’s 64 times more color depth than standard monitors), excellent peak brightness and a high contrast ratio of 1300:1, images are displayed in true-to-life color with clear details even in dark shadows or brightly lit areas. Be prepared for better color gradation and precision in more shades on this VESA DisplayHDR™ 400 monitor.
> True-to-life details: 4K UHD (3840 X 2160) resolution with a high pixel density of 163ppi gives you four times more details than Full HD.
> Accurate color, out of the box: Your monitor is factory calibrated at 99% sRGB to an accuracy of Delta-E less than 2 for accurate colors right from the start.
- Better color gamut
- 178 degree viewing angle
- Brighter panel
- Anti-glare coated
Even if you don't get 10-bit you'll get more accurate colors because the deltaE value is lower. And since you panel is 10 years old panel uniformity will certainly be much better.
I bought 2 used 4K Dell U2718Q displays (the older model) for 250 each. The best displays I have ever used. Very worth it. I recommend you demo 1 if you can.
- ComputerGuru 5y agoThat's a 16:9 display and you won't get the same real estate. I'm using my monitor at its native 2560x1600 at 100% scaling. 3840x2160 at either 27" or 32" (I've tried both) is unusably small at 100% and only a scant 2560x1440 at 150% scaling. The difference from 1600p to 1440p is rather stark and very hard to swallow.
- kuschku 5y agoIf you’ve got extra money, I can recommend the UP2718Q (not the U2718Q), which is used ~800€, but has a true 10-bit panel and 1000 nits peak brightness.
