Hey guys,
I just found this affordable Dell 4K monitor on sale, it comes with an 27" IPS panel with 4K resolution, two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.2, even two 3 watt speakers.
There is also a S2721QS which is hight adjustable for $511.20, and 32" curved one with VA panel S3221QS for $675.35.
nice, if i didnt have a 32 inch i would be all over that S3221QS at $628, its pretty feature rich

Damn this is cheap! Any idea what's the Adobe RGB coverage for these?
The normal standard ~90% srgb
Tried to order the FHD 27" - but there's an estimated delivery of 18 November.
Don't buy if you want it quickly.
There is one thing very risky.
Dell do not guarantee you a prefect screen.
They can sell you a monitor with at most 5 dead pixels.
If you want to replace it, you need to pay for the shipping
The Restocking Fees is 15% of the product, which is $65 in this case.
And the chance for the dead pixels on a 4k monitor is pretty high.
I believe this monitor is covered by Dell's 'premium panel exchange' which means you can get a free panel replacement if a single bright or dead pixel is found within the 3 year warranty period. It also has comes with their 'advanced exchange service' so you get sent the replacement monitor before you return the faulty one.
Premium Panel Guarantee:
Bright subpixel = 1 or more
Dark subpixel = 6 or more
@Tomo: Oh, that is unfortunate. Thank you for the clarification!
Dell should definitely be more forthcoming about what the premium panel exchange covers.
5 dead pixels sends fine to me for a monitor with 8 million pixels.
It's not about how many pixels in total.
It's about some black holes in your screen.
The S3221QS I bought a month ago has perfect screen.
awsome - just bought this !
How you finding the S3221QS? I was going to get two 27", but am tempted to get just the one S3221QS instead. I have seen others mention the colours not looking too good (washed out) on the S3221QS due to it being a VA panel.
@Gatkins: I just ordered another S3221QS for my wife today, so I have bought two S3221QS in two months. I would say it's a good monitor for the discounted price. But I don't recommend it to people who don't have a display calibration tool.
The S3221QS must be calibrated before use, the colour out box is terrible (washed out) . After calibration, the colours looking very good, I feel it's better than my IPS Dell U2713H. A used Spyder 4 is good enough for calibration, about $50 - $80 on Trademe.
The internal speakers have low level hissing issues. It's annoying. Link: https://www.dell.com/community/Monitors/U3818DW-low-level-hi…
One S3221QS can't replace two 27", it's not that big.
@baikal: @baikal Thanks for the reply. I have bit the bullet and bought it. I huge wait for delivery (end of November), but I guess that gives me time to try and find a calibration tool - nothing on trademe at the moment, hopefully something comes up. Any other brands/models I should look out for?
I figured why not try out a big 4K curved screen for something different. I currently have two 25" screens, but they are due for replacement and I want taller screens I can see more lines of code on, as opposed to wider. With this 32" monitor I can likely fit two coding screens side-by-side, but have massive height. So its likely it can replace the other option of two 27" monitors, plus I can then also use it as one screen for gaming, etc.
@Gatkins: Used Spyder 4 is the cheapest option. If you want to buy a brand new calibration tool, try these:

Any high refresh rate monitors?
Like Zyo commented - "Any high refresh rate monitors" for recommendation?
Saw an alienware 25inch 240gz ips for 500. But it's full hd only though
Not accepting credit cards…
I noticed this as well. I tried to order something last week and it was the same - been down for almost 7 days.
This tends to suggest to me that they are looking to avoid credit card fees. Though Id be surprised, I wonder if this is a cashflow issue??
The information to make a bank transfer was vague, conflicting and barely understandable. I literally thought it might have been a scam website.
I got through it though, shipped quickly and the monitor is great. Wouldn't be surprised if they were having issues though, based on the website.
Good comments over at reddit talking about color coverage. Link here
