They talk about a 27 inch monitor.

As to your vision talk to your eye doctor.
I needed to get a special pair of glasses that put my focus area at about 2 1/2ft so I could see the monitor.

For me there were only two makers of such.

Barco is the gold standard for sharp excellent colors. Next in line are most Apple displays.

I've never noticed flicker on either of them. Can you share why you are going for such high end models?

My eyesight is becoming quite poor now. When wearing glasses I need to be nearly sitting on the monitor to read clearly. Am 61 --getting old .........

I've never revealed this on the forum.

I'm 61 now and a few years ago had my prescription tweaked to zero in on the best glasses for working on a PC. My display is what came with my laptop which is a 1080p on the Asus ROG 15 inch.

I do have a 22 or 23 inch TV on the side which I can use if I am programming since I often need a second display for PDFs or specifications.

Now that we know you are not going for gold as in color correctness to the max, I'd shortlist the 25 to 30 inch models at https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Computer-Monitors/zgbs/electronics/1292115011
