Wah, another 4k monitor. Looks very similar to the Asus PB287Q specs.

You have not added tax yet?

Yeah. For 4k, use Display Port.

Hope it's not too late. Whatever you do, make sure they do not give you the 8528.59.000 harmonised code. That's categorising the LCD meant for TV and that would land your 25% + 10% tax.

The correct code for LCD monitor meant for computing is 8528.51.000 and that will give you 0% tax.

Good luck.

Interested in the new Dell P2715Q 4k/60 monitor. Has anybody gotten it yet? Or the smaller P2415Q?

Check CZone. Their price list says RM 1955 for 5 year warranty. All IT does sell Dell monitors but not in their price list. Perhaps need to ask.

I'm looking at the Dell P2715Q that runs 4k at 60Hz. Not to be confused with P2815Q that runs 4k at 30 Hz.

There's 28 inch Samsung UD590 but that's TN panel.

There's also 32 inch monitors BenQ BL3200PT or the Acer B326HK which is basically the same as the BenQ. But they are not available locally as far as I know.

You got it from All IT in Digital Mall Section 14?

Dell since the Samsung is TN panel.

SHOfrE3zE asking for shops specifically in Digital Mall PJ.

Best way to get colour accuracy from your monitor is to get it calibrated by external calibrator from Xrite / Colormunki / Spyder.

What graphics card are you running? What resolution gaming on primary and watching 1080p on secondary?

Most decent cards should be able to handle this.

Get a single U3415W. The U2913WM is a little cramp.

If you plan on running 2 monitors, perhaps get two P2415Q or P2715Q at 4k/60 resolution.

That's right. Likewise, a 27" like the one below can get a good 60" TV also.

I don't do games. I'm satisfied that my lowly graphics card can push 4k/60 with a single DP connection.

Anyway, had a brief scare just now as the screen had intermittent flickering problem. Initially suspected the Dell DP cable. Turned out that my power source is the suspect.

How small? 24" small or 32" small?

AdobeRGB accurate or sRGB accurate?

10bit panel or 8bit + FRC?

If colour accuracy is truly important, then a colour calibrator is a must regardless of the choice made from the above.

Lot of people buy Dell monitors. Not just monitors but other stuff as well like notebook and PC. If it wasn't safe, you surely hear of people being conned.

Colour accuracy cannot eyeball. You need to calibrate using a colorimeter.

PC or notebook? What graphics card do you have? If it cannot support 2560 x 1440 at 60Hz, then your HDMI from your graphics card (and also possibly your cable) is less than version 1.3 which is old. Either that or you're trying to run at extended distance.

Suggest you upgrade your graphics card if it's a PC or a new HDMI cable if it does not support version 1.3. A cheap graphics card already can have almost all the necessary connections you want. The time and effort to hunt down for a convertor that MIGHT work sometimes not worth it and probably as expensive as a graphics card itself.

Not possible to have DVI to DP. The world will be upside down if that were possible.

A quick check before getting a new DP cable would be to try using a different power socket from monitor to the wall or a new power cable? It solved the problem for me when I switched to a different monitor requiring 2 x DPs. Have not checked why but I suspect the power socket on the extension cord I was using was a little faulty. Can happen.

Great find. As a passthrough that is. My original reply was referring to making DVI having Display Port bandwidth.

Expensive lah.

Nah. Skipped 1440p and went straight to 4k and beyond.

Hmmm... 4 DP ports? What card is that?

Do you have other cards to swap?

Premier Color

Heheh, 27" with Premier Color would be the UP2715K.

Go for that. 5K plus Premier Color. Pain only one time.

DP has it's advantages. More bandwidth. Easier for manufacturer to standardise and I believe LCD display manufacturers (TV as well as monitors) tend to choose DP / HDMI as industry standard because they also carry audio. With newer and higher display resolution, HDMI shows it's weaknesses. HDMI is still evolving and currently version 1.4 limited to 4k/30. Version 2 just came out and perhaps this will trickle in. Perhaps not so soon since there is hardly any HDMI 2.0 hardware out.

No pain no gain.

In all honesty, the 30" will do justice to the 5k resolution. Even 32" would be better. On the 27", it's a little cramp.

Why LG when you can get Dell's UW version?

Congrats ! I use my 27" beside my 24" but both in landscape mode. 24" in portrait mode is a little too tall for my liking.

Anyway, one thing to note is my 27" monitor screen height (16:9) is almost the same as the screen height on the 24" (16:10).

Linus is slow !

I don't have the CPU and GPU power he has but while I agree with mostly what he says, I disagree with him saying that a for a few hundred bucks more the iMac 5k gives a computer plus 5k monitor etc. He forgot that the UP2715K is a true 10 bit LCD panel which the iMac 5k is not and never will be.
