4K 27" monitor, mainly for photo editing? Looking at LG 27UD68P

I'm looking at the LG 27UD68P, my purposes are going to be mainly photo editing. I'm not sure I need to go much larger, as I'm sitting at a desk fairly close to the monitor. Are there any competitors I should be looking at as well?

You can look at HP Envy 27" 4K. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGft4EBnrtA Similar panel, different stand/packaging. HP looks a bit better, but I like the joystick menu navigation on LG better. LG has better stand and better VESA mount, but HP has USB-C that can be used to deliver power, and some reviews also say video even if it's not officially in the specs. Also read one review on Amazon that said HP has stronger anti-glare coating compared to LG. Not sure if true or not since they should use essentially the same panel. FYI, my RX480 plus two 27UD68P via DP suffer from annoying DP bug where windows disconnects monitors and rearranges windows all over every time my monitors go to sleep. I don't know if it's the RX480 fault or LG monitor fault, but it's extremely annoying. That's the brief summary on the two.

EDIT: also FYI massdrop currently has LG 27UD58-P for $315. It has thick bezel compared to 68P, but otherwise the same monitor.

If budget allows, get Dell Ultrasharp series.

Dell's Ultrasharp monitors are very good for the price
