I am quite happy with my 2 Dell 27" monitors, but I have yet to get my wife a replacement. For now she remains happy with her 25" Samsung HD monitor, but it's probably somewhere around 8 or 9 years old. With my luck it probably won't be long before it decides to bite the dust. ;D
I'm not looking to buy anything just yet, but I'm going to put this on my short list of potential monitors. My wife only needs a single monitor, and for QHD resolution (2560x1440) this might be an ideal size:

Wow that's quite the display, I'm sure V will like it. On another note I noticed in the ad for multiple monitor applications HP had them side by side. Obviously to display the small bezels but I much prefer dual monitors placed at an angle making both easier to see. How about you?
Edit for spelling.

Although both my monitors are exactly the same, my primary monitor is directly in front of me and centered. The one on the right is at an angle so that when I turn my head to face it, I'm looking directly at it. The right monitor's bezel is also sandwiched directly behind the primary monitor's bezel.

Yup, exactly, but reversed. Works for me.

Have you done any follow up on this display? I re-read the linked info and left with the impression that this "productivity monitor" might not be the best choice for Ultra HD photos or movies. You have any insight here?

No follow-up. Veronica's display keeps chugging along, so I've had no reason to look for a replacement.
B&H Photo is selling them for $429 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1482140-REG/hp_5dp31a8_aba_elitedisplay_e324q_31_5_16_9.html). It doesn't appear to be available in many other places.

I wonder if that's because of a demand or supply issue? Looks like a nice unit.
