27" monitor recommendation sought

Branoic

Hi, as title says, looking for recommendations for 27" monitors.

Must have HDMI input, and decent internal speakers would be a bonus as a console will be attached to it as well as a gaming PC (PC will have seperate speakers).

Budget is flexible, but lets say around €400 give or take.

Thanks!

You could get a Qnix from ebay. After import duties, it should still be less than €350. The downside is that there's some risk that there can be defects. The big upside is that you get a high resolution monitor - 2560x1440. You'd be paying about €500 for a U2713HM. On the other hand, you could just go straight and get the dell monitor if your budget is flexible.
The Qnix monitors can come with just DVI (these ones can be overclocked for higher frequency) or you can get ones with extra inputs.

The Qnixs come with speakers, but I don't think I've ever come across built in speakers in a monitor that I thought was good - and I'm not fussy about audio!

You can use adapters for DVI to HDMI easily enough, but you lose the sound. The Qnix might not support the console as they can be a little fussy about older graphics cards and such because of the high resolution. The latest generation of consoles probably support higher resolutions if you're willing to look into it.

Finally, your other option is to get a lower resolution monitor. The 1920x1080 monitors don't look great up close at 27'', but they're okay if you're sitting back a bit.
There's decent enough options; I'd go for an IPS.
