Big Screen Monitor for Macbook Pro

[super7]

My new Mcbook pro has turned up and all it's got for connectivity is 4 USB-C / thunderbolt 3 ports. I want a big screen monitor, 27" upwards, for the home office. I don't want to spend st loads on it but it seems to me I have 5 options;

1. All singing, all dancing 4k/5k 3800/(UHD 2160p) USB-C screen
2. Halfway house 2K (QHD 1440p ) USB-C screen
3. UHD 4K HDMI screen with a USB-C to HDMI adapter
4. Basic HD with USB-C
5. Basic HD with HDMI adapter.

Bearing in mind the Macbook has a reolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels i'm thinking a basic HD screen won't cut the mustard but equally a 4k/5k USB-C screen is upwards of £750. but then again a QHD screen is closer to the native Mac... I'm budgeting between £300-500. What would you go for?

I'm thinking option 3 with the adapter from USB-C to HDMI. I think USB-C is slowly being taken up but equally HDMI is the most popular. I don't think i'm going to loose much by converting USB-C to HDMI?

Any thoughts or experiences welcome.....

...connected to my macbook pro using an usb-c adapter (joygeek) and it's great. I have a 28 inch equivelent samsung at home and it's just as good. If anything the 28 inch is a better size if sat on your desk.

You might be better off with DisplayPort rather than HDMI

I bought one of these to use with my MacBook 12" and it's fantastic -
