Dell here as well, had many makes go thru my hands and at work, Dell monitors seem to be best quality and longevity wise especially for the money. Check their website for deals on regular basis to catch 45% off or so.
Running 2 Dells at home and 2 at work, all 24". Paid about C$150-170 per for personal ones.

Dunno who makes them, could be LG. Different models could be made by diff companies too.
Dell sources everything from vendors and manufactures pretty much nothing on its own, the internal database part number description would imply the actual manufacturer. There might still be a way of getting it from their website. LG was/is a big one.
I've had Dell, LG, ASUS, ACER, and now a Lenovo Thinkvision. I have two 27" Dell P2722HE hub monitors at work that are great, but I have the Thinkvision 27" at home, also a hub monitor, and the picture seems to be a touch clearer.
I have an HP 24m. It's a 1080p 75Hz monitor. I think it's great for 1080p gaming on ultra settings. I have thought about going into the 4k world but is it really worth it?
I have an ASUS 24" for more than 13 years, still working.
Running about 12-15 hours per day.
At that time, 24" was the largest, now, it is standard.
I can't say it is my favorite but if this one gave up, I will buy another ASUS.
Before that, I had Acer which gave up due to swollen capacitor.

I like Dell, Micheal Dell has pretty good leadership of the company. They are phasing out Chinese made chips by 2024....
I´m all for open source, and no backdoors in micro code.

No favorites. At work we use Dell laptops, and I got a cast off laptop like 10+ years ago that is still churning along, so I'm kinda partial to the Dell universe.
But my home (work) monitor is a Samsung 27" 4k which I love. Haven't been able to get work to spring for one let alone two for when in office... just as well, I "need" the big monitor at home as that's when I'm more productive.
[Bummed that I can't use the 4k on my home laptop.]
I don't game so maybe that plays into it?

I've had, and repaired for others, quite a few brands. Samsung and Asus seem to have fewer problems, but Asus doesn't sell as many so the sample size might be too small to make a fair comparison.
Personally, I'm no longer into FPS video games so don't need a very high refresh rate, and have been replacing all computer monitors with 4K TVs. Unfortunately the selection of 4K TVs in the under 42" sizes are disappearing, so it also depends on the available space. I'd do a 32" 4K monitor but don't see much point in 4K below 32" unless you've just about got your nose pressed up against the screen. Otherwise 1440p or ultrawide.
Within that context I'd get a Samsung or LG 4K TV but beware of the LCD LG's with the RGBW pixel setup, which are not true 4K and won't work well at all for a 4K computer monitor. Maybe they don't even make those today, I'm thinking back a few years.
Yes 4K is really worth it for desktop computer use. The addt'l vertical pixels are a game changer that you don't get with a multi-monitor setup unless you have one (or more) of them rotated 90' (which some people do, even with 4K displays). Gaming, depends a lot on your budget for the video card, with them being so high cost still, and along with the video card, may need case ventilation and PSU upgrade as well.

I'm using a pair of 32" LG's (2560x1440) on my old Mac Pro, I'm very happy with them. We generally use HP at work, I've got no complaints about those either.

I was going to say Apple as that’s all I buy but then I realized it’s an all in one so I have to go with my second choice of computer Lenovo if we want just a monitor. Just because they actually produce a quality product unlike some of the other companies that I’ve used.
Pretty basic HP 27 inch, was so impressed after buying, trying and returning many others, including curved screens. Purchased one for my wife around a year later, think the model is no longer in production though.
HP 27f
Im not one that pays much attention to price but I dont know at around $150 I just loved everything about the image better then other brands. Im shore more expensive products hundred more might be better. But we use our computers like forums, travel, SHOPPING, banking and I dont think any monitor can display the text and image better but I am sure I must be wrong. More or less, fits our needs and dont think buying more will get us more.
