I'm thinking of upgrading to a 4k 27 inch curved monitor in a couple of months. Does anyone have any opinions on these, or just some look for/avoids
We're not talking megabucks here so down the sensible end of the price scale, there even seem to be some around the £200.00 mark.
Should've asked first if this is even appropriate with a 5 year old PC or should I be looking at upgrading the video card as well. Currently a Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 TI Video cards a little outside my pay grade so not too many syllables folks.

I can resist everything but temptation. Only arguement against it, apart from price, is available real estate. Restricted to just desk space and I'd like to have space for a second monitor. Just a 19 inch to maybe play about with coding.
Does that Eeek mean new card?
EDIT: Just been having a look at ultra wides. It would feel like putting a Ferrari body on a Volkswagen. I think a 27inch or slightly bigger would suffice.

I got a Dell 27" monitor a year or two ago (not 4k, when I looked into it prices seemed sky high at that time) from Curry's outlet. I'm not quite sure why it was discounted because it appeared absolutely brand new and untouched.
