This may or not be helpful to some who may be in my predicament, but thought I would offer up some comments on a monitor I just bought.
I have always wanted 2560 x 1440 resolution for the extra screen real estate it provides, but did not want the huge 27" display this resolution is most often found in. I cut out cardboard sheets to mimic the size of the Dell U2715H UltraSharp I was considering, and it is BIG. At least for my viewing distance it was.
So, I took a chance on the Dell U2515H. Same as the 27", including resolution, but in a 25" size. I am glad I did. It fits on my desk, and I can see everything without the feeling one gets as if sitting the front row of the theater. BUT, text IS small. Perhaps too small for some. But, due to the very tight pixel pitch (about 8% tighter than the 27" in same resolution), it is very sharp, making the small text quite readable. And images look great. I do mostly text work, and while worried about the small text size, I can use it without scaling, although depending on the app, I might scale things up to 125%.
It is likely you will not find a 25" 2540 x 1440 display in a store. I tried. I took a chance, and I am pleased. If you can't handle a 27", perhaps the 25" may work better for you without having to step down to 1920 x 1080 (or 1920 x 1200) resolution.
