    Super tempting. Was trying to hold out for 30% off on the P2715Q but I don't know if I can. The P2715Q is also 20% off, $711 from $889.

  • Overtime2000 on 20/02/2015 - 09:58

    20%…not bad….

    do dell often do 30% on the newer models? Not sure if I should hold out…

  • quarrymaster on 20/02/2015 - 10:28

    Thanks, been waiting for this.

    Review from the renowned tftcentral:

    http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2515h.htm

    If you're after a cheaper option it might be worth considering Korean IPS 1440p panels. Don't know if they come in 25" but they most certainly come in 27" and can be overclocked.

    • thorpef1 on 20/02/2015 - 11:04

      Im considering a cheap'ish IPS monitor for photo editing.

      Are you aware of any good articles/reviews i can dig into

      I know it isn't a popular opinion but I am still really happy with my Kogan 27" IPS 1440 monitor bought the other week via Ozbargain when it was reduced down to ~$350 before shipping. I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed if the current ones still use the same LG panel that Apple 27" monitors use but to my eyes it is great.

      • jazoom on 20/02/2015 - 16:37

        I only just got mine yesterday. Aside from a dead pixel it looks great.

        Kogan's service on the other hand… shit. Yes, I really did only get it yesterday.

        • hetzjagd on 20/02/2015 - 19:12

          that's f***ed man. When asked about the monitor I usually do include your story and tell people that while I got a good run, Kogan are still hit and miss and tell them its a gamble as to what experience and quality of product you're going to get. In fact I would say that as I've gotten lucky and had the one good experience, I'm due for a classic Kogan crap experience next time around so I will shop elsewhere.

          there's just no reasonable excuse that you put your order in several hours before mine, and got stuffed around and had to wait a week and half extra

    Just take note there is no DVI input.

    • fryandlaurie on 20/02/2015 - 16:25

      Pretty easy fix by purchasing hdmi to dvi adapters I guess. It's weird, the previous models (U2412 for eg) never had HDMI but had DP, dsub and DP. Now they change it to HDMI and dp only. Grrr.

  • quarrymaster on 20/02/2015 - 11:35

    Mine came to $415.21. :( LOL

    Hope it works with my Mac mini 2012 via DisplayPort.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2015 - 12:04

      $0.21 lost

    • automated on 20/02/2015 - 15:18

      I can't see any reason why it won't, I've ordered one for my 2012 Mac Mini to replace my Dell 2407, should be a great upgrade.

      • quarrymaster on 20/02/2015 - 18:00

        Have you been using DisplayPort?

        I skipped on the Soundbar this time.

        You mean this one?
        http://www.dell.com/downloads/emea/products/snp/UltraSharp%2…

        The max resolution is 1920 x 1200, which is doable even with HDMI with the mini. The U2515H is 2560 x 1440, so it's too high for HDMI on the mini 2012, and you'd either need the expensive dual-link DVI adapter, or hopefully a straight DisplayPort cable.

        [Edit: Oops, no DVI port…]

        • automated on 20/02/2015 - 20:36

          I've been using a displayport/thunderbolt to dvi cable. The mac mini 2012 can drive the 27" apple display which is the same resolution as the u2515h so it should be fine with the included minidp to displayport cable.

        • quarrymaster on 20/02/2015 - 21:47

          @automated:

          Hopefully won't take long to find out! I don't doubt it could drive 2560 x 1440 via the Thunderbolt/mini DisplayPort. My fear is whether there's any issue with the U2515H's DisplayPort/mini DisplayPort, but that may have more to do with Dell 4K displays from what I've read. Some posters concluded Dell's DisplayPorts were a tad iffy.

    Man, the text is gonna be tiny on this…

    • fryandlaurie on 20/02/2015 - 13:47

      DPI scaling on osx is quite good. On windows and Linux it's still getting there…

    • Janko on 24/02/2015 - 13:50

      It's not really - I have Windows on it using the default "Smaller" text size and even drop the fonts down a few points and still comfortable for 45 year old eyes.

    I use two of these at work, absolutely gorgeous screens to use!

  • motion2082 on 20/02/2015 - 17:39

    Just picked up a U2715H for $649, 2x U2515H would have been nice too

  • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2015 - 19:08

    I feel ripped off paying an extra 21cents.

    for every 1000 they sell thats an extra $210. The extra dosh goes into Michael Dells call girl fund

    • motion2082 on 20/02/2015 - 20:01

      Agreed :)

      I think 2x25" would be better then 2x27 now that I have them both in front of me. I have to turn my head quite a lot to look at the second monitor.

      1440p is very nice though :)

  • Dan83 on 20/02/2015 - 21:54

    Anyone know if you can connect a macbook pro 13" 2013 model to this and still get 1440p and 60Hz? HDMI? Thanks.

    • senator on 20/02/2015 - 22:12

      No, you will need to use displayport.

  • automated on 20/02/2015 - 22:08
    +1

    You should be able to via displayport/thunderbolt.

    • Dan83 on 20/02/2015 - 22:54

      Thanks guys.

      I noticed the package contents say it comes with a DP cable (mini DP to DP). Does that mean all I need to get is a thunderbolt cable and I'm good to go?

      • quarrymaster on 21/02/2015 - 00:27
        +1

        No, same thing. Thunderbolt also includes what mini DisplayPort does.

        Technically the included mini DP to DP cable should be all you'd need.

        • Dan83 on 21/02/2015 - 07:50

          Awesome, thanks!

  • zeckem on 22/02/2015 - 12:51

    If you are a graphics professional or someone who likes vibrant colours on an IPS monitor DO NOT buy the U2515H or U2715H

    I just received my U2715H and was not impressed by the colours. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dvgg9m5fq94pj4j/AADncz9y1UUrP4N0f…

    Build quality is great and price is attractive. Be sure this is what you want before handing over your hand earned dollars.

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 22/02/2015 - 14:53

      That's because it's matte instead of glossy. It's not an inherent problem of the monitor.

      • motion2082 on 23/02/2015 - 12:33

        That's right Prospect, still it needs to be said

    • motion2082 on 24/02/2015 - 10:31

      I would like to say that applying the ICC profile from TFT Central improves the colours dramatically on the U2715H. The result is a much brighter screen with richer colours. It's not perfect but it will be fine for Web Design, Video Editing and light Print/Graphic Design work.

    Delivery was nearly quicker than how long it took me to get the monitor out of the box - the most complicated packing I think I've ever seen. I noticed unpacking instructions were on the box, afterwards…

    Anyway, absolutely beautiful monitor. Thanks OP, I'd only set up an OzBargain alert a few days prior for this monitor.

    • quarrymaster on 24/02/2015 - 19:49
      +1

      I noticed it, thought it was smart aligning the pictures of the monitor front and back, then noticed the box was packed the wrong way!

  • dcs29 on 24/02/2015 - 13:58

    Thanks OP ordered 2 yesterday 11am delivered within 24 hours (SYD > MEL).
    FYI, plugged into HDMI at work (no access to DP) on at GT 640 and can view optimal res. 2560 x 1440.

  • ycon on 26/02/2015 - 15:07

    I would consider this if it was a 27"

    • quarrymaster on 26/02/2015 - 15:41

      I wouldn't, and didn't. This is a gorgeous screen for what it is, and the difference between 25" and 27" is about 8%, so if it's possible to shift the screen a couple of inches closer, it'd be about the same.

    • Janko on 02/03/2015 - 13:39

      I would have passed on the deal if it was 27" - pixel density trumps for a computer screen otherwise you're constantly moving your head. If using it for a console display where you're sitting back, then I'd go for something larger.

  • jOlv on 04/03/2015 - 11:46

    bought this on the last day of the offer and now i'm still waiting for it. Not even shipped yet. :( called dell and they say they ran out of it and pending stock to come in :(

    • quarrymaster on 04/03/2015 - 19:51

      It'll be worth the wait.
