        4K is not always better.

        4K on 27inches can make text too small and once you increase text size it can look odd.

        I personally think you need 32+ inches before 4K becomes practical.

        I’m not even sure how a PS4 will look on a 4K monitor or even QHD, if the source is only 1080P

          4K on 27inches can make text too small and once you increase text size it can look odd.

          I know native resolution can be too small for some, but don't forget you can use HiDPI modes (which @Greenback16 already would be because of their Macbook Air.)

          You either get a super-crispy monitor, or you get the extra real-estate of native 4k - if they want the best experience, I'd say 4k wins every time.

          If they want to save money, 1440p is still pretty great.

          I’m not even sure how a PS4 will look on a 4K monitor or even QHD, if the source is only 1080P

          Yeah, you're right, this would be terrible - it would probably look better on the 4k because 1080 goes into 2160 cleanly, but not into 1440, so output would be blurry on the cheaper monitor.

            @Droz: Good points.

            My only experience with a 4K 27inch monitor was that it wasn't great with my PC. Everything was crisp, just too small lol

            Swapped it to QHD 27" and was much happier.

            4K on 32inch is purrrrrrfect.

          • Greenback16 on 27/02/2024 - 13:59

            @Droz: Thanks for your thoughts guys! Might just go for USB C for convenience and future-proofing

  • hothed on 26/02/2024 - 21:36

    Dock deal to go with this?

  • Nickelback on 26/02/2024 - 23:11

    I placed an order earlier today but didn't see an ETA. Anyone had prior experience purchasing from Dell. Does it stretch into weeks?

    • hothed on 27/02/2024 - 00:42

      Check your order.

      Mine says delivery eta Friday.

      • JimB on 27/02/2024 - 09:50

        I didn't get an ETA either.

        But Dell are usually very good with stock (they don't let you order if no stock).

      • Nickelback on 27/02/2024 - 11:55

        Thanks. I actually received a shipping notification this morning.

        • hothed on 01/03/2024 - 20:32

          Mine were delivered today.

            @hothed: Mine got delivered yesterday. Set it up today and the step up from FHD monitor is awesome.

    Thanks OP. Purchased one with my child's edu.au address to upgrade our trusty 15 year old Dell 16:10 IPS screen.

    Thank OP. I really appreciate you attention to detail and the step-by-step guide for the Student Purchase Program.

  • A female dog on 27/02/2024 - 14:06

    Currently rocking the USB c version of this monitor, paired to my work laptop - Dell Latitude 5420. Does anyone know if I can use this monitor (WITHOUT A DOCK) and plug in via HDMI to get a dual monitor setup directly plugged into my laptop without a dock? Have tried searching for answers online to no avail. Would really appreciate any advice!

    • Droz on 27/02/2024 - 21:03

      If your laptop can support it, yes. If it can't - nope. But the dock wouldn't help in that case either, unless it was a dock with DisplayLink.

  • Banana Psykohunter on 28/02/2024 - 00:50

    I would suggest getting DP to USB-C cable which is much better than the HDMI version. Have been using that with my gaming laptop, samsung phones, and tablet!

  • lookingforadeal7 on 28/02/2024 - 11:43

    Seems alright but surprised it's so popular when higher refresh rates are available for same price https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/833470

    • tempting on 28/02/2024 - 12:08

      A better speced option for sure! Better refresh rate is always pleasent on the eyes for systems that can run it, and amazing for gaming. Though if use is primarily office/WFH, this DELL is a great option, especially since it's $60 cheaper (and still in stock 😋).

      • lookingforadeal7 on 28/02/2024 - 12:23

        Yeah definitely more suitable for office work this monitor and not everyone needs the high refresh rate, was just wondering if this has more USB ports etc that would make it more ideal

  • plentifoo on 28/02/2024 - 15:21

    how are the speakers? bad?

    • thorpef1 on 01/03/2024 - 06:57

      They are fine for basic use.
      But I wouldn't want to watch a movie or enjoy music on them

  • CandyMan on 02/03/2024 - 13:18

    Only does 60fps with the included hdmi cable :/

  • oxonomo on 03/03/2024 - 14:23

    I bought this monitor, but it only works at 60hz. Does anyone know how to set it to 75hz?

  • neo on 04/03/2024 - 21:38

    What colour/picture settings does everyone recommend?

  • hothed on 07/03/2024 - 15:49

    Anyone found a dock?
