        I think you would find a lot of people would disagree. 1440p for a 27' monitor is optimal in my opinion.

        Let's not get ahead of ourselves with your 4k exaggeration

        • kaio on 17/08/2016 - 21:52

          4K at reasonable price can only get slower response ones.

          1440p is minimum now.

          I think that we ALL would like a 27" 1440p curved IPS for $357

          So, when you find one please let us know…. I agree that would be optimal.

          agreed, I don't think 1080p 27inch screens are worth buying. Either go down to 24 or pay more for a 1440p

      • [Deactivated] on 19/08/2016 - 00:25

    better pay a higher price for 144p if you really want 27 inch

    • StewBalls on 18/08/2016 - 09:22

      Just FYI, 144p is only 13.33% of the vertical resolution of 1080p. I wouldn't pay more for less… :P

  • beyondtool on 17/08/2016 - 21:53

    I'm happy with my 27in curved Samsung which has 1080p res. Then again it also supports free sync and has a VA panel, not an LED panel like this curved Dell one. If you are going curved, it's only for gaming as I can't see any other compelling reason to do so. In that sense I can't understand why one would want this Dell one? Maybe watching movies, but the contrast ratio is too low?

      Wank factor. However technically a curved screen does help with the need to refocus each time you look from centre to corners of the screen.

      Would look pretty cool as a triple monitor setup too, I guess.

      • beyondtool on 17/08/2016 - 22:15
        +1

        Why would you want triple monitors, unless you are gaming? I honestly wouldn't pick one for surfing the net or productivity. Photoshop sucks on a curved screen.

        • llama on 18/08/2016 - 18:13
          +2

          Why would you want triple monitors, unless you are gaming?

          Most modern workplaces use dual monitors, so it's nothing extreme to have multiple screens.

          The hassle with twin is that the join / bexel is in the centre, so the obvious solution is a central screen and 2 flanking it either side.

          My main machine at home uses 5 screens (3 down, 2 above). I cannot work productively without about 4000 pixels horizontal, preferably a lot more. I would choose triple over single EVERY DAY.

          What do you do… ALT TAB, or just open one task at a time?

        • spackbace on 18/08/2016 - 18:15

          @llama:

          @Spackbace:

          Jees, what do you do?

          Anything I like. And many things at once.

          My desktop sits on one screen - the taskbar is 4 rows tall.

          But seriously, if I was reading Ozbargain I would open the deal on a different monitor… that way I could look at the deal page and Ozbargain at the same time without ALT+TAB to switch back and forth.

          Look at the tossers here saying that 1080p is "not enuv peekzels". I find single monitors absolutely painful now days, irrespective of how big or high-res.

          Lots of people run triple like this: http://cdn.overclock.net/8/8e/8ed3e4b2_stand5.jpeg

          But productivity is probably better using portrait like this: http://static.homeworkspaceideas.com/wp/2015/08/31145223/17-…

        • beyondtool on 18/08/2016 - 21:28

          @llama:
          Alt Tab occasionally. I think two screens is fine for productivity because you are never compare more than two screens at a time. The center bezel only matters in FPS games. I can't see how you would even look at 5 screens at once? I would just use Virtual Desktops instead. Windows Key + Ctrl + Left / Right – Switch to the virtual desktop on the left or right.

          Each to their own I guess. But it's funny how everyone whines about AMD being too power consuming and then sport 5 monitors…

        • llama on 18/08/2016 - 22:18

          @beyondtool:

          I think two screens is fine for productivity because you are never compare more than two screens at a time.

          I appreciate that many people only use computers for simple tasks. I regularly work on at least 6 active windows simultaneously. I am right now updating 4 product leaflets and must ensure that the exact same tech data changes are made on each one. Having them all on screen at the same time makes this far easier and less error prone.

          At the same time, I am also doing other more interesting things - there is a graphics editor open, plus Ozbargain, Ebay, Email, 2 connections to my work server, folders, etc, etc. There are currently 18 tabs open in the taskbar, but I just returned to the office so that's just what I didn't close down when I left earlier.

          I can't see how you would even look at 5 screens at once?

          I don't look at 5 screens at once. I look at ONE screen at once. I can't see how people can have windows stacked in layers and have to continually switch between them to check something…. so slow and cumbersome.

          The center bezel only matters in FPS games.

          The centre bezel matters in ALL applications because you never position a window that straddles it - hence you are looking to one side all the time. It's ergonomically atrocious having your neck twisted like that continuously.

          I would just use Virtual Desktops instead. Windows Key + Ctrl + Left / Right – Switch to the virtual desktop on the left or right.

          I would just use my eyes… not one single keystroke required to instantly switch to the REAL desktop on the left or right. And I can see all of them, so the one that's visible is not obscuring others.

          But it's funny how everyone whines about AMD being too power consuming and then sport 5 monitors…

          Not sure what AMD has to do with anything, but I don't bother with "costs" - I consider return on investment. Putting an extra 2 monitors on a desk might cost (say) $500 over (say) 3 years = $3.33 per week or just 9 cents per hour. If the worker costs $50 per hour, you are paying 1.4 cents per second - so if each ALT+TAB takes 1 second, then you only have to save 7 ALT+TABS per hour and you are in front.

      • Lukian on 18/08/2016 - 10:50

        Oh, delicious. Loving the VA contrast ratio & blacks.

        • beyondtool on 18/08/2016 - 21:36

          Colour accuracy is off unfortunately. http://au.pcmag.com/dell-se2716h/40094/review/dell-se2716h

        • ProspectiveDarkness on 18/08/2016 - 22:28

          @beyondtool: Meh, I prefer accurate blacks over accurate everything else. Unless you directly compare, you can't really tell if colours are 100% accurate. Average accuracy is good enough in my books, as long as the end result is aesthetically pleasing. Can't say the same for non-true blacks. Same reason I love my OLED phone.

      • Praeto on 18/08/2016 - 11:47

        Monitors generally last a very long time, and are more likely to be replaced due to upgrading rather than replacing a dead one. While this monitor might appear like a bargain at this price, you're likely to be upgrading it much sooner. When you're buying something that will last you 10 years, look at its price annualised. I have half a dozen Dell monitors that I love, but I invested in the better ones so that they'd last me awhile.

      If anything, this 'very low' resolution on a larger display will mean larger pixels per inch increasing readability.

      No guys (and girls or ladies and gentlemen?), I am actually talking about reading text, coding and graphics jobs. Even for daily use these 1080p have very low resolution specially for 27". They are only good for gaming and other multimedia entertainment that's why I upvoted the deal.

        So basically you're making a collective conclusion on this product based on its lack of suitability for a type of application for which it CLEARLY isn't intended for, given that Dell has accounted for these applications with its other offerings in its line up.

        You've totally ignored the fact that this product is totally suitable for the market its intended for.

        Last time i checked not everyone was a coder or a graphics designer.

    FYI, a 1080P 27" has 85 ppi, 24" has 96 ppi and your 4 years old iPhone or android phone even with very smaller screen has more than 500 ppi pixel density. While it still might be watchable, if you like to watch a movie at 600x800, it is harmful to your eye if you are creating contents, working with graphics projects, coding or reading too much text. Be nice to your eyes, use an old CRT monitor or buy a higher resolution.

      [Citation needed]

      Also no, pretty much no 4 year old phone (especially not iPhones, seeing none of them have that high density, at all) had 500 ppi. 720p was the standard until 2013.

          Umm… As is the one in the OP? I think you're still confusing backlight (LED) with panel technology (VA, in this case).

          Now, if you want to compare panel tech, my screen has this one beat, with an AHVA panel.
