It's time to change my 8 year old monitor. I use a chinese make monitor that is really good, but sadly doesn't have HDMI or thunderbolt/USB options.

Looking for a 4k, 27inch monitor, with at least HDMI/USB-C connectivity.

Apple displays are great, but they are expensive. Any alternatives you would recommend?

(P.S. Not looking for Ultrawide monitors)

This is a vague ask. And it’s also a lazy ask because you haven’t put the effort into telling us what you want.

Whar connectivity do you need? What size and resolution? Do you want ultrawide? Are you coding, doing design work, or gaming? What’s your budget?

Sorry, I added more details now. Looking for a 4k, 27inch monitor, with HDMI/USB-C connectivity.

Looking for something in sub $500 range.

For coding, audio production, watching Netflix.

Lenovo Thinkvision P27U

It depends on what you want but you might want to look at this recent thread:

I love my ultrawide monitor.
