That monitor is probably discontinued, but Dell makes comparable monitors. You can browse Dell's website and select monitors that meet your size and resolution requirements. The 2560x1440 resolution you quoted is called QHD and, for example, Dell's S2721D (27" QHD) costs $274.99 and supports both HDMI and DisplayPort connections. I'm not recommending that one, just saying it might be an acceptable replacement. You should know to match the connector type on your video card to the connector type on the monitor, or else you will need an adapter. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
