Reddit mentions of Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

Monoprice is the shits tits but why is the 4K monitor better than what is already out?

Like this Dell on Amazon--- it's $499 too.

Let me try summoning /u/PriceZombie http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8/

edit: Yay it worked :P

The Dell P2715Q is what I use. I don't get paid professionally or anything and I'm sure you can find more technically perfect and accurate monitors, but:

• the build quality is amazing
  
• the colors are vibrant, lots of contrast
  
• IPS panel so no strange viewing angles

Man you guys just don't know when to quit....

I'd recommend dell monitors highly. I recently got the 29 inch ultra wide ips monitor for $300. Well worth it in my opinion. Great for my productivity work as a graphic designer and student. It also doesn't hurt that it is optimal for watching movies ;)

edit: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8/ref=pd_cp_147_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=14C9QTAWM7YSKTJGQJ48

This is the dell 27' 4k monitor. Ips monitor and has a matte coating which is excellent for photo editing. Plus adobe sRGB certified. Great monitor.

I snagged the P2715Q when it went on sale for under $500. You should be able to get a decent 4k @ 30 Hz for under $500 easy, but a nicer one like the P2715Q is pretty rare (60 Hz, 4k, full sRGB color space).

This Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q is what I use for work and it's incredible. I was initially trying to convince my non-gamer boss to let me scoop a 1440/144hz like the one this thread is about, but they wanted everyone to have the same model to track inventory more easily. (It's the firstest of first world problems - boo hoo, I have no choice but to get a 27" 4k Dell.) Anyway, I love it. I think it looks incredible for all non-games, and I honestly thought Destiny 2 looked amazing (I dialed it down to 1440 or 1080 since you're capped at 60 fps; everyone tells me that 144hz will blow my mind, but until I actually experience it, I'm very happy with what I saw during the beta.) I do have to play League in a window, and I scale most other games to 1440 or 1080 - but again, if you're not a gamer, you won't care. The screen real estate you get with a 4k is bonkers. I do a little web dev, so Sublime Text and Chrome side by side, that kind of stuff, is great. FWIW, I also thought 27" was going to be absurd, and I was definitely wrong about that too. (If you're going 4k, you kind of need to go minimum 27" - anything smaller and you might as well go max 1440.)

Dell almost unquestionably is making the best 4K monitor at the moment with its UP3017Q. OLED is fantastic, and for only ten times more than your budget!

Jokes aside, I do personally like Dell's UltraSharp line for their great IPS panels, professional look, and best in class stands. The P2715Q is probably what you're looking for.

Lots of good monitors these days:

Looks like it did recently drop 50, which is a fair amount.

Check out the Dell P2415Q (24") and P2715Q (27") on Amazon and Newegg.

Thanks! I spend most days here, so I strive to make it a place I enjoy.

Desk is from World Market. It looks like they have a 40% off deal going on right now!

Ultrawide is the Dell Alienware AW3418DW.

Top monitor is a dell 4k 27" I bought a few years ago. Great color reproduction.

Monitor stand || Micca MB42X speakers || Keyboard || Mouse || Lucky cat ;)

I use Dell P2715Q. I absolutely love it. Plenty of ports, beautiful picture and color accuracy.

For photography work, do NOT use a TN panel. The only advantages that TN offers over IPS are refresh rate, response time, and cost (cheaper).

For photography work, refresh rate and response time are pretty much non-factors. However, color contrast and accuracy (the selling points and advantages that IPS has over TN) are paramount.

I've used three different versions of Dell Ultrasharp monitors and I agree with the general consensus around them: yes, they're expensive, but their build quality and color reproduction are matched by no other monitor manufacturer.

I'm currently using the Dell P2715Q and I love it. 27", IPS, and a Dell. Can't go wrong there.

I got the Dell last year. Cheaper now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PC9HFO8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Wow that is pretty awesome! Here in the US even your 1 year warranty claims through the manufacturer could take well over a month to resolve. A lot of the time they will tell you to fuck off even if you are within your 1 year warranty because they will claim some BS reason that you voided your warranty. Consumer rights in the US are a fucking complete joke, the consumer doesn't mean jack shit here.

I look forward to purchasing some electronics then in Sweden! Just wish some of the things I need (like Dell Ultrasharp monitors) weren't so expensive :(. Dell P2715Q 4K monitor is 7000 SEK in Sweden versus 3400 SEK (390 USD) in the US.

E ti rimangono 600 dollari per un bel monitor 4k da 27''.

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8

just buy this or the smaller one.
out of the box it's beautiful and VERY accurate

Sorry for the late reply. I think it is this one.

4k on a 40-43" should be great.

I played for a 3 months on a Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor (3840 x 2160) and loved it, except for the ^^^^^tiny Quest/Dialogue Text. Even with all UI elements set to 140%, some elements are just too small to be effective at that size screen (e.g. cooldown toolbar).

I've recently switched to a Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor (3440 x 1440 Pixels), and although I miss the detail/scale, it makes for a better play experience.

If you still want 1080p which is what im assuming yours is, there isnt much to upgrade. If you want to upgrade to 4k heres a 27" https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8

I'd go for this Dell IPS 4K display. http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Computer-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch/dp/B00PC9HFO8

No problem! I'd rather leave people with information instead of vague statements that leave them knowing what to do, but not WHY to do it haha. What's your budget for a monitor looking like? Because you can get a budget-minded 1080p screen like this that has amazing rgb color space accuracy/range at 99%. OR you can spend extra for the 4k and get something like this beast. Each one is great for design in their own rights but, of course, they're on different ends of the spectrum price-wise. It's all up to you, and your wallet! Honestly, if I were gaming on this rig, I'd probably get the budget monitor and put in a couple hundred for a decent gaming monitor as well! The 4k display is amazing if you're doing design, but the 6ms response time is less-than-optimal for competitive gaming. But if you aren't playing pvp-oriented games, you'd be absolutely fine!

Fractal design is well known for their compact and quiet designs, but if you just need something quiet with good airflow, and you've got the budget, I'd recommend getting something like the Be Quiet! Silent Base 800. BQ is one of the leading makers when it comes to insulated cases with amazing airflow and cooling capabilities. Only downside is, usually their cases aren't light at all haha. But as long as you aren't relying TOO much on mobility, they're a great pick!

I the reviews for the 27" dell 4k monitor are terrific. Out of the box calibration is excellent and %99 srgb. I picked one up for $519 a year ago.

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2415Q-24-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8/

I'm a fan of Dell's monitors. They have pretty good color accuracy. This one has been good to me (and it's well within your budget). 4K, 60hz.

Dell's UltraSharp line of monitors are also good.

Edit: Looks like there is a newer version of the specific model I linked above. Smaller bezels and whatnot.

As others have said, don't cheap out on the monitor. For graphics work color accuracy is a must.

Something like

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1469360705&sr=1-1&keywords=Dell+P2715Q

Which covers 99% of the RGB spectrum and is pre-calibrated would be good.

A possibly unpopular opinion here, but for a business quite often getting something straight from Dell or other vendors is a better idea. Lets say two years down the road they have a problem with this machine, it has no factory warranty or real support available. They will call you and expect your to fix it.

A Dell Precision 3620 with similar specs and no monitor (Xeon E3-1245, 32GB DDR ECC RAM, W7Pro, Firepro W5100) and a 3 year warranty is $1769. What this gets you is first and foremost, a warranty and support. Second, the Firepro (or Quadro series from Nvidia) gets you drivers certified for graphics programs. You have a problem with graphics programs and don't have a certified card, tough.

I build everything for home use, but for work environments, 99% of the time I go for something with a real warranty and support, especially workstation/server class machines.

You don't think the response of the IPS is too slow? And the G-sync isn't worth the color sacrifice?

This is the IPS I was looking at:
http://amzn.com/B00PC9HFO8

upgrading from 6600k to 6700k will get you the following benefits:
 
500Mhz extra base clock speeds and 300Mhz extra Turbo (irrelevant with overclocking)
2Mb extra L3 cache (Very little to zero impact on anything for personal use, this holds stuff so the cpu doesnt have to talk to the RAM)
HyperThreading to give you 8 cores instead of 4 cores (no effect on games)
 
If you ever are going to use your computer for multi threaded applications like 3d rendering, video editing, and CAD, the 6700k will give you a boost in performance that leads to time saved waiting for stuff to happen. This boost would be nice to have but not crippling to miss out on in any means.
 
If you are rarely or never going to do the above in a serious manner, buy the 6600k and spend the money on a nice pair of headphones, a keyboard, or a big IPS panel monitor; something you will appreciate every time you use it.
 
Regarding Monitors: 144Hz is a totally subjective benefit. It allows you to play games at a true 144 FPS, but you have to have a GPU that can push your games at 144 FPS consistently. You also have to get a TN panel or pay a premium to get an IPS panel (TN has a faster response rate for less blur but IPS has much better colors).
 
I personally bought a Dell P2715Q for the great color, 4k res, and the ability to connect my xbox. a used one from amazon is about half the price of a 144hz gaming monitor.

Have a read of this Apple Support article.
Also, from MacTracker late 13 MBP 13" and 15":
>Display Connection: 1 - HDMI port or Thunderbolt digital video output
>Display Support: Supports an HDMI-compatible device, including 4K, while using one Thunderbolt display or support for two Thunderbolt displays
>Display Modes: Dual display extended, video mirroring, and AirPlay Mirroring
>External Resolution: Up to 3840 by 2160 pixels at 30Hz or 4096 by 2160 pixels at 24Hz (HDMI) Up to 3840 by 2160 pixels at 30Hz (Thunderbolt)

Edit Not sure you'll get a 4K for $400, check out Dell monitors, they also usually include all cables in the box. Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit is $463 on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PC9HFO8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Great experience with this. Especially for the price (be sure to check warehouse deals).

I've been toying with this combo:

Main editing monitor and this 4K monitor for my playing of files.

Edit on the main 21:9 wide on the bottom and playback for the footage on the 4K above. Color reproduction seems great in terms of Delta and sRGB above 99% so they're both wide gamut. Thoughts?

At home I recently upgraded from a 6ish year old higher end Dell Ultrasharp that was starting to show its age to one of these LG monitors that I found on sale at MicroCenter a couple weeks back and I’ve been pretty happy with it - LG 27UD68-P 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CH9ZTI4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_L81aBb0619VQH

At my studio I use one of these - Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PC9HFO8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_m-1aBbAZD4E70

Basically you want to look for an IPS monitor that reproduces a high percentage of the sRGB spectrum and are ideally factory calibrated.

If she’s designing for print, having a high Adobe RGB percentage would be ideal too but when you get into that territory you’re gonna end up spending as much on a display as you would a computer.

I have the Dell P2715Q, and it is hooked up to an old PS4 (HDMI) and a computer (DP). Works really well for my needs.

Price is not so good considering you can spend $200 more and get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Digital-31MU97-B-31-0-Inch/dp/B00OKSEVTY

...or $500 less and get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Computer-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch/dp/B00PC9HFO8

Will you be using both screens (the monitor & surface) or just one at a time?

This will weigh in on the type and size of the monitor you get.

2. You do not NEED a dock. It will simply make the process easier by allowing you to plug in a single cable and quickly switch to desktop mode. You can accomplish a similar effect with multiple cables.

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8
I love the large crisp screen. Only real downside is that it scales at 150%, instead of the 200% of the surface. This can make dragging windows back and forth a bit awkward.

Surface book has an excellent 267dpi color calibrated display which will blow away basically every monitor with a decent price point. So my advice is to use one at a time so you don't constantly see the difference.

You should set a budget.

Here are non-gsync models

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BYU0GVC/ref=psdc_1292115011_t1_B00KJGY3TO

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PC9HFO8/ref=psdc_1292115011_t5_B00KJGY3TO

https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2700-4K-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B01A0ZRQTW

Budget is flexible, but probably not much more than $2k. I originally had a 2080s in the build which put me at ~$1650, but I am now strongly considering 2080ti.

There is a microcenter 70mi away but if I have to drive there that would be painful.

I also added an edit to main post. I am curious if I need additional chassis fans, my current case comes with only 1.

Edit: my monitor is a Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PC9HFO8
I am not currently looking for upgrade except maybe for second one to enable dual monitor setup

You may have to raise your budget to around $450-500. Not sure about VESA compatibility on most of these, but I think the HP has it. I believe there are cheaper/better options, but not with thin bezels and VESA as far as I know, but I could be wrong.


4k:


LG 27UD68 (Has Free-Sync)


HP ENVY 27 (Also has Free-Sync)


Dell P2715Q (Thicker bezels, but a good 4k monitor)


1440p:


Dell U2715H


Dell S2718D


Edit: If you are fine with 25", the Dell U2515H is very good.

For warranty most products come with a standard manufacturer warranty (it can be 90 days, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, etc.) unless you want a longer warranty with better coverage. Most Dell products come with a 3 year limited warranty which covers dead pixels and such.

Also as for resolution would you be fine with 1080p or 1440p instead of 4K? Unless you plan on getting better computer hardware to support that resolution while gaming. A choice between this Dell 1440P w/ thin bezels and IPS display or if you do in fact want 4K this Dell 4K display is also nice with an IPS matte finish.

For display, Matte sacrifices color reproduction and contrast for better response times. Glossy has much better color reproduction and better contrast but do tend to have glare if lights are behind you unless it has an anti-glare coating. A better option would be finding a high quality Matte IPS display so colors stay accurate in different viewing angles and have a high response time with no glare.

Yeah. As I said on the post I already own that monitor, but will likely replace it soon. I just have to decide if I'm getting a VR headset first. It seems like it might be worth going 4k instead of 1440 if I can find a higher refresh rate/lower latency?

I also have this one that I use for work https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8 which I might use if it looks significantly better, although it's not that great performance by some faster paced games where I can use the lower latency.

I use this monitor with this cable. You'll need to use two cables, one for the monitor and a separate cable for laptop charging, but it's about half the cost of the 4K LG monitor Apple sells. You can also make it a little cheaper if you choose a cheaper monitor like this one.

Thanks for the reply!

Will a BD-drive work with this set up no problem? Seems like a noob question but its been about 15 years since I last built a pc.

Monitor wise- I am a graphic designer so something 4k with an accurate color space is important. Ultrawide is not super important to me. As far as refresh rates go I am at the mercy of your advice. Like I said in a comment below I am considering the dell p2715q. Would that work?

Here's what I'd suggest:

• 400$ range - Benq BL2711U
  
  
• 500$ range - Dell P2715Q
  
  
• 600$ range - Asus MX27UC
  
  
• 800$ range - Benq BL3201PH
  
  Let me know what you'll be doing with the monitor and I'll try to point you to whats best for you.

I'm not that well-versed in monitor recommendations, but I have come across these two:

[LG 27UD68] (http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27UD68-W-4k-uhd-led-monitor)

[Dell P2715Q] (https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8)

You probably will have better reception over at /r/Monitors

Good luck!

Gaming: Pretty good for a relatively budget price

- Ummmm, IDK about gaming monitors. I'm not much of a gamer. Hopefully somebody else can help you with this one.

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8

GIven that the T440s came out before those specs were available on laptops, I think you're being a little harsh.

How about this one then? Acer Aspire: $489.40 w/

Iris Graphics 6100

8 GB RAM

1 TB HDD

i5 2.7 GHz processor

only 1080p resolution vs Mac's 1600

So this is everything you are wanting except resolution at 1/3 the price. You can buy a 3840x2160 resolution external monitor for your laptop and still be underneath a Macbook Pro Retina. There are no laptops out there (that I know of) which have 2560x1600p resolution at 13 inches, but there are a ton out there which (for $400) less will deliver everything else. And at $400 less you can make nice upgrades to your computer / buy extra batteries for battery life (if your laptop supports it, some ThinkPads do).

The U2715H is great for amateur photography, or for working on sRGB. At 1440p you have plenty of space and the IPS panel is pretty good. It's not retina, but that little extra pixel density bump from 1080p looks good enough for me.

If you are a pro you should probably buy a wide gamut monitor to be able to work on Adobe RGB (provided that you shoot on RAW).

If you are more concerned about resolution, you should be able to get a 4K monitor such as the Dell P2715Q for that budget although you should check if OSX supports HiDPi mode with that monitor or text will be unreadably small. I don't really know how good is color reproduction but it should be good enough unless you need critical color accuracy (in which case get a wide gamut monitor and work on Adobe RGB).

I'm staring at the 5k monitor (Dell UP2715K) with Windows. Looks fine.

I'd get this one for 4k: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8

There is going to be a 120Hz 4k Dell soon but it'll be 5 grand

I would like to have a 3 monitor setup, if that changes anything.

Also, as much as I would LOVE to have 2 more Dell U2715Qs, that would be expensive as fuck. So getting another copy or two of what I have wouldn't really be feasible.

I'm not sure what you mean by non-black color, the Apple Thunderbolt Display did have a black border before being discontinued, and the current line of iMacs do have a black border around the screen.

I'm a huge fan of the Dell 27" 4K monitor, coming in a just under $500. Although if you don't want 4K there are much cheaper 1080 and 1440 options.

This Dell 4k Display

Weird question, depends on your needs. I really don't get your setup either way tho. Okay, desktop + laptop is reasonable, but why laptop + iPad? If you can do your stuff on a laptop/iPad, why buy desktop?

Ideally, neither of those as it seems like a giant waste. Get the 15" MacBook Pro (the $2,499.00 model with Radeon R9 M370X) and a decent display, such as Dell P2715Q (or UP2715K if you really want 5K for some weird reason).

Same total price ($3100 for cheapest iMac/MacBook Pro vs $3020 for 4K or $3600 for 5K), but you get better CPU/RAM, which is more useful for developing than a marginally better graphics card. iMac is often a shitty investment for pretty much anybody.

1. You need the GTX 1080 for this. The GTX 1070 is powerful, but not powerful enough for a 100Hz display at 4k. But also the GTX 1080 is not enough for that, not on high settings. See https://www.computerbase.de/2016-06/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-test/4/. For 4K, you need as much gpu power as you can. In general, that display is too expensive for your budget. You should get a 4K 60Hz display like this Dell, especially given your target of 60 FPS.
   
2. Your cooler will come with thermal paste pre-applied, but invest the 5€ to have a backup in case something goes wrong at the first try of installing it. Note though that the 6700 will already come with a cooler, you don't need to buy one.

So im stuck between a few 4k monitors right now.

1 is TN, 1ms response, freesync
the other is IPS, 6ms response no freesync
Both are 60hz

My issue is, is 6ms really that noticeable? I dont really play FPS too often but i do play Doom, LFD2 and Deus Ex.

Also is Freesync really worth it if i go AMD, opposed to getting just a 60hz monitor no freesync And is TN really washed out compared to IPS?

Dell S2817Q for a cheaper TN monitor with low response time.

The lg 27ud58 is also a good cheaper option, but I'm not a fan of the bezels. These, i have found to have the best looking panels at 4k at their price point. There are loads of cheaper tn panels if you want to sacrifice picture quality and viewing angles for gaming and price. And there's 24inxh variants of many of these as well.

Tons of good stuff. Bought 3 3TB HDD's for $170 total.

Dell P2715Q 4K monitor comes to ~$340 after discount

Monitors aren't OS-specific.

Dell P2715Q maybe?

As noted, you still want a hardware calibration unit.

Yes, being able to game smoothly is a major goal (I'll edit above to make that clearer). I'm currently using this monitor here, and I have one of these that can be swapped in as well if the rig can't handle 4k gaming (it's not a hard-and-fast requirement).

tldr: 4k at 31.5 (i.e. 32") is useable, which I wouldn't necessarily say for smaller sizes, like 27".

I've actually bounced around many monitors, none of which are even close to perfect imo. I'm always looking for a glossy, high-resolution, gigantic display at a low price. This seiki hits 3/4 but has an matte finish I don't love. Also, the design is average (very limited adjustability and thicker bezel by today's standard). I've owned the dell p2715q previously which also had a matte finish AND was too small to use @ 4k easily. It had a better design, though. Previous to that, I had 2x Dell s2415H which had a beautiful design and glossy finish but were low resolution and fairly expensive for what they were. I've owned other similar monitor setups, but this is my favorite so far. I vastly prefer 1 high resolution monitor rather than multiple lower-resolution monitors. I have also exchanged my (excellent) rain Design mStand for a Twelve South BookArc since I prefer using just 1 monitor.

The short version is I'd like a 5k 32+ inch monitor which is glossy and does not cost all of the money. I figured Apple would make something like that soon and instead they're making a 27" version through LG which costs $999. While priced right for the market, it's just too small to use at higher resolutions and I don't have enough money, nor would I prefer, having multiple monitors at that price.

This Seiki 32" is simply the best compromise for me, at the moment.

Hi. These computer recommendations are fine, /u/deathaddict 's is pretty solid, though i'd spec 64GB of RAM

That being said, I don't like the monitor choices presented. One of the suggestions here isn't even an IPS monitor, that's bad. I would suggest not using an Asus monitor for editing. Dell or LG make fantastic work station and editing monitors that are much nicer to use than Asus.

I'm not sure how serious you are about editing, if you're professional or not. When it comes to computers i'm a fan of overkill in the build, so if you can swing it the LG 31MU97 is the best you can do on a reasonable budget. Full Adobe RGB and sRGB coverage along with 97% of the DCI-P3 colorspace. Though it is not good for gaming.

I am also a fan of the LG 27UD88-W if you need something cheaper and also want to game consistently.

Even less expensive is the Dell P2715Q, this one is only 8bit but it does a great job in the price range. I use one for my photo work, which is web based so it's fine for me. If I were printing I would buy something better, and 10bit.

I havent used it, but the BenQ BL2711U is apparently very good for its price, too.

Hope this helps!

EDIT:

After some reading the The Asus PB279Q listed in a comment looks good on paper, actually. But I have yet to use an Asus display that didn't have a weird mesh sheen inside of the panel, it's tough to describe. It really messes up the way whites look and i'm not a fan. Maybe this one doesn't have that, but I can't be sure.

I would recommend seeking out computer stores that have the monitors i've listed in this post and looking at them before you buy. That's the easiest way to make an informed decision!

The Build

Monitor

You are obviously brainwashed apple user. While it may look pretty it is an overpriced POS. This build is much faster than what you would get with an iMac for the same price. This build matches the $1999 price tag of the iMac however it is much more powerful. You can build one for ~$1000 that is still better, however I wanted to show you how much you can get for the same price as the Crapple machine. I am curious as well, why would you need a 5k monitor? Is it to boast to your friends about? If that's the case building your own computer will make you sound smart and you can boast about that.
