Which monitor to get @8k?

I need a 1080p resolution monitor. I am torn between the Benq G2222hdl and the Dell ST2220L. Which one is better? Any other suggestions?

Benq G2222hdl is around 7.5k and dell st2220l is around 8k

The difference between the 2 models is that the dell monitor has a HDMI port which benq g2222hdl doesnt.
If you dont need HDMI port go for benq g2222hdl.
According to some forum members benq g2222hdl is a bit better than dell st2220l.
Either way you cant go wrong.

I don't really need an hdmi port but its a good addition. Most important thing obviously is the display. Which one is better in terms of display and visual epicness?

Planning to buy a monitor myself around 8k. Zeroed in on those two mentioned above.

I'd like to know which display is better and some info about the after sales service of both companies.

I heard the display of the benq is slightly better but I also hear that it has some backlighting issues. don't know whether it is true or not.

whoa no more replies after so many days? :(

Okay so now I have 3 options:-

1.) BenQ G2222HDL
2.) Dell ST2220L
3.) Samsung B2230H

Which one amongst the 3?

I dunno but the Samsung one looks great. Does it retail around the same price?
Benq is not available in my city so I might go for Samsung.

Samsung one is nice but if possible try the Dell one as BenQ and Dell are market leaders in monitors followed by Samsung. !!

Hmm...but I hear the benQ one lacks punch in its colours. that is colour reproduction is not up to the mark.

And now I am confused between the dell st2220L and an LG IPS226v.

The LG one is an ips panel so kinda leaning towards that,but then again,it is LG,so kind of worried. and also not sure if there is any ghosting in that ips panel or not :(

Can anyone shed any light on this?
