That monitor is probably discontinued, but Dell makes comparable monitors. You can browse Dell's
website and select monitors that meet your size and resolution requirements. The 2560x1440
resolution you quoted is called QHD and, for example, Dell's S2721D (27" QHD) costs $274.99 and
supports both HDMI and DisplayPort connections. I'm not recommending that one, just saying it might
be an acceptable replacement. You should know to match the connector type on your video card to the
connector type on the monitor, or else you will need an adapter.
