Here's an alternative to the Dell/Xiaomi, I personally got this monitor and tested it this week and think it's worth the current sale price. The usual price is $639.

You can get a free Kogan First trial (I was eligible again despite just using it a few months ago, don't know why) to get the $579 price. Shipping to QLD was $19.99 for me.
Important Activate the Kogan First trial outside, manually, DON'T DO IT IN THE CART DURING CHECKOUT. This allows you to use gift card/store credits.

Can get a further 6% off gift card through Suncorp Rewards, which is instant and available for anyone with a free online debit account.

Mini review

Exceeded my expectations, the 165 Hz is real. At the UFO blur test, there's SIGNIFICANTLY less smearing than the Dell S2722DGM which is also a 165 Hz VA panel. Factory calibration is also pretty good. Comes with a very premium-feeling all-metal stand (only tilt, no height/swivel), and is vesa-compatible. Has a 2-port USB "hub", and included cables are also quite high quality (-feeling, I don't have testers).

Didn't touch any of the "HDR" stuff - I know it's going to be underwhelming. (so is everything else at this price and ~400 nits peak brightness)

NOTE: The curvature is actually 1800R, not the advertised 1000R. I compared it with my existing 34" 1800R, and it was identical. I was hoping for a more aggressive curvature, but unfortunately the options at these specs and price point are all 1800R.

My personal calibration profiles (not a professional).

    Joke post. Price is a joke compared to the dell and xiaomi units

    • Oxxy on 10/04/2022 - 15:36

      Was just thinking, I have 2 x Dell 34" each for $560. Night and day.

    • xrailgun on 10/04/2022 - 20:10

      Some may find $20 for the boost to 165Hz worth it.

        Not when it's a kogan product

        • xrailgun on 10/04/2022 - 20:12

          don't know why the hate, I've been buying lots from Kogan, their customer support has always done right by me when the product has issues/needs replacement.

          • dosada on 10/04/2022 - 21:08

            @xrailgun: Unfortunately, most people can't say the same. So many people here got screwed over and refuse now to buy there, nearly irrelevant of how good the price may be. But ymmv

    I'd rather spend $2.5k on a GPU than buy anything from Kogan.

    I wouldn't buy it since my last experience with Kogan's after sales support.

    The resale on this would be awful compared to the Dell if you're the type to upgrade often.

    • xrailgun on 10/04/2022 - 20:15

      that's a good point. I usually use my monitors until they die, averaging about 8 years each so far, hoping QD-OLED prices come down enough by then.

    Can get an LG for $10 cheaper if you ignore the special membership, no deal here https://www.centrecom.com.au/lg-34wp60c-b-34-ultrawide-qhd-1…

    • OZKap on 10/04/2022 - 16:13

      But can I sign up for trials on two completely unnecessary accounts I'll never use if I buy the LG?

    USB C interface can only go 1080p, which makes it useless

    • deanylev on 10/04/2022 - 16:17

      Are you sure? It says "Clear your desk of wires and maximise your working space with a one-cable USB-C, allowing you to transmit 1440p video and audio and connect to laptops".

      • TimWn on 10/04/2022 - 16:21

        Read the spec, you will find.

        • deanylev on 10/04/2022 - 16:23

          Computer Supported Resolutions 3440 x 1440 @100hz (HDMI), 3440 × 1440 @144hz (Display Port), 2560 x 1080 @ 60hz (USB-C)

          Wow you're right, and the reviews say the same. Blatant false advertising in the description. Capping it at 1080p 60Hz feels like those Chinese phones that come with a 2MP macro camera just to say they have triple cameras.

    Rubbish

  • jasswolf on 10/04/2022 - 21:47

    there's SIGNIFICANTLY less smearing than the Dell S2722DGM

    The only way this is true is if you never changed the overdrive setting on the Dell.

    • xrailgun on 10/04/2022 - 21:54

      Dell's is on "Super Fast" as recommended by RTings, then personally verified on the UFO test.

      • jasswolf on 10/04/2022 - 23:01

        Feel free to do a handwave recording using your phone camera at high FPS if you want. There'd be people on the BlurBusters forums keen to learn more about what panel the Kogan has if that's true.
