New Monitor advice

Hi I am looking for a new monitor for my new PC.
I have a £15 discount for Dell web site if I spend over £100
My old monitor is over 10 years old and 22"
Unsure what I should be looking for in a monitor but no bigger than 28"ish and under £150 either from Dell or currys.
Is there an option for a built in web cam or do I have to use my old web cam that sits on top of my current monitor
I would love something that I can zoom in when on zoom or Microsoft teams meeting as I can with my current cam.
This is the pc I have and it was £200 cheaper when I bought it last week.
Any advice please.
Thanks

My advice is to learn how to post links. There is no link to a PC in your post.
Why is the choice just DELL or Currys? Any reason why you want to hamper your search?1 -
If anywhere near budget; I would go for a 4k monitor. Little point in getting anything else these days unless the budget doesn't fit.
If Amazon get more stock at the price indicated;: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08K927G79/1 -
27"/28" 4k <£150 (just) but not dell or currys

At this price point you are trading features size resolution refresh rate response lag etc.

As for the webcam - just reuse the one you currently have.Jenni x1

Come on OP; let's see the link, in order to deduce it's capabilities.
Both a good price. Though be aware that the 28" screen is the TN type. 27" is IPS. That accounts for the seemingly same price for a better monitor, on the surface.
My choice would be for the 27".0 -

4K on a 27/28" screen? Perhaps. But if price is a factor then quality of screen, and response time, would be my preferable features - if that meant a 1080p screen rather than 4K then so be it.Jenni x1

OP, what are you looking for that your current monitor cannot do?3
