4K Monitor LG vs. BenQ

J

1. Budget?
INR 35k. Can increase to 45k if it significantly improves screen quality/ longevity (don't wish to pay additional just for added ports etc.)

2. Display type and size?
4K, 27inch

3. What will the TV/monitor be used for primarily?
Reading, Office Work, Media

4. Types and number of ports required?
If any port allows connecting keyboard and mouse directly to monitor (instead of laptop), that would be really helpful.

5. Preferred choice of brand?
Open to all

6. Any TV/monitor in consideration?
LG, BenQ

7. Any other info that you want to share.

Any opinion on the below two units? Which one is better screen (don't understand HDR400 vs. HDRi etc.)

I had LG27UD68P, which had its panel replaced thrice. It got replaced by LG27UK850 and even that developed mb issue.

Im avoiding LG monitors in the future. both of these cost 30k+ but still had QC issues

Thanks. Had bought Dell FHD Monitor last year, needed replacement within a month.

HDR is a gimmick in monitors, so don't consider that. See if any of those monitors have reviews on rtings.com.

Those seem like older models of ones in consideration. I personally found BenQ ones overpriced.

Thanks. LG one also is 2019 model I checked.

Any suggested 4K 27in models I can buy within 35k (recently released/ newer ones). Can stretch budget if it really brings difference to experience and longevity.

The issue is all 4k 27 (IPS) inch monitors have the exact same panel. They will develop issue just like I had, regardless of vendor. The only criteria I would go for is warranty. Get one that has the best warranty service. ( I think Dell here is best )

What issue did you face with your monitor ? and which monitor was that ?
Curious as I am thinking of a monitor upgrade soon.
