Which brand do you recommend and what resolution monitor, for editing, photos and videos?
The computer has been chosen now it is time for the monitor.

BenQ SW2700PT 27" PhotoVue Photographer IPS LED Monitor, 2560x1440 it is A+ for photo editing. I really like the side screens are a big plus. Easily removed if needed.
It has a CR Card reader on the side along with 2 USB ports.
It is recommended to use its software to color balance (super easy to use with a SpyderX Pro). It comes out of the box balanced, but all monitors need to be recalibrated occasionally.
I use an inexpensive ViewSonic as my 2nd monitor to watch Steve's training videos and follow along on the BenQ.

This was a good discussion from a couple days ago. The Benq mentioned above is a good choice. If budget is tight the Benq SW240 is only $400 and has 99% Adobe rgb.Anyrhing from Benq that says 'photo' you can't go wrong .

I have a pair of NEC 27" Spectraviews. 2560x1440. Colors are great. A bit pricy but a great monitor. Perhaps not quite as good as the very high end Eizo. From the B&H website

I just purchased the Beq SW2700pt from Amazon. It is out of stock at a lot of places because it has been discontinued. Its replacement, the Benq SW270C costs $200 more. I also looked at the 24 inch Benq SW240 for $399. The SW 2700PT comes with the top/side shields but the SW240 does not (they can be purchased for an extra $99). However B and H photo is right now giving you the top/side shields for no additional cost.
