What to buy around this budget

The AOC 27"W IPS, QHD,200Hz,1H1DP, HAS MONITOR at R3200 is the best fit for data science work here because QHD gives a sharper canvas than 1920 x 1080, and the 27-inch IPS panel is practical for side-by-side notebooks, dashboards, and reference pages.

The Dell SE2726H 27-inch 1920 x 1080p FHD 16:9 144Hz 1ms LED IPS Monitor 210-B at R1797 is another practical 27-inch option when IPS viewing and a faster 144Hz panel matter more than extra pixels. It works well for a clean secondary screen beside a laptop.
