Question

Which of these two 4k monitors are superior?

Dell Ultra HD 4k P2715Q

BenQ BL2711U UHD 4K

I recently decided to upgrade my home monitor to a 4k display. I've done a bit of research on the best 4k IPS monitors (under $1000) and boiled it down to these two.

I work as a front-end web developer and do 90% of my work at the office, but I could potentially work from home in the future. Mostly though, I'd be using it for media, movies, and the web on my macbook pro at home. I also don't play any pc games. Aside from aesthetics these monitors seem identical to me and I can't seem to decide which to choose. The BenQ is newer so there's not much in the ways of reviews/comparisons for it.

So any thoughts?
