Best dual screen setup (besides MA270S) for MacBook Pro M5 Pro?

Hi there!

I just bought a 16-inch MacBook Pro M5 Pro and I'm looking for 2 screens for a dual screen setup. I did 10+ years with my last Macbook Pro and screens, so I'm willing to invest. I was thinking about up to 1500 euros (1750 dollars) per screen.

Main use: professional work (copywriting, web design, AI work), will be looking at those screens for +10 hours a day : ) I occasionally game through GeForce Now.

I'm considering 2 x the BenQ MA270S, but maybe I'm missing some other options out there? These are my requirements:

  • 27-inch display
  • 5K resolution
  • Wide color / P3 support is a strong plus
  • Good sRGB mode / color accuracy
  • Good panel uniformity matters
  • At least 400–450 nits brightness
  • Glossy of semi-glossy, not matte
  • High pixel density
  • Excellent macOS scaling
  • Sharp, comfortable text rendering for long writing and reading sessions
  • Strong MacBook Pro compatibility
  • Thunderbolt or USB-C connectivity
  • Thunderbolt daisy chaining is a strong plus
  • VESA mount support and good ergonomics: will be using VESA arm
  • Black or dark bezel

Main disadvantage of the MA270S: the 70Hz refresh rate if I use it for gaming ...

If someone has a take on this, I'd be very grateful!
