I've been searching for a new monitor for a few months now and I'm stumped on what to get. My current setup consists of two TN, FHD displays so literally anything is an upgrade at this point. I can purchase the Dell monitor now or should I wait for the Xiaomi one but I don't know its retail price or when it will be available in Aus but I'm guessing soon?

This will be used for mainly 3D modelling, Photoshop and video editing, with some light gaming on the side. Both are IPS, 27", QHD monitors.

Some notable differences:

Dell U2719D
- 60 Hz, refresh rate
- 8 ms (normal); 5 ms (fast), response time
- 99.9% sRGB color gamut, 85% DCI-P3
- 350 cd/m², brightness
- 3-Years warranty from Dell

Total Price: $548

or

Xiaomi
- 165 Hz, refresh rate
- 4 ms (GTG), 1 ms (IMBC), response time
- 95% DCI-P3 color gamut
- 400 cd/m2, brightness
- warranty i don't know

Total Price: TBA

I'm open to any other suggestions. My original budget was $450 but willing to fork out a bit more for longevity and other reasons.

    If Photoshop is more important than gaming, then yeah, you're going to want the factory calibrated Dell ultrasharp display.

      Thanks, anything gaming related is less of a need and more of a 'nice to have'.

    The viewsonic model in this range has really good reviews, not sure about how it compares for video editing as I think it is more tailored for gaming.

    How did you get the U2719D for $518? The cheapest I’ve seen is $639

        Wouldn’t mind an extra $59 discount to make it $518

          Find someone who works for specsavers? Otherwise, with the stacked coupons it comes down to $548.28.

    I just got the Dell U2719DC with usb-c brand new on refurb store for $569. It is amazing !!! Wish I had bought two. May buy a U2719D and daisy chain it on Mac OS 9not sure if this will work though on Mac….

      I wish I had spent the extra and got the U2719DC. I just received the P2419H and after some adjustment I really like it. It looks so good I wish I had gotten a larger model lol.
