Searching for a hi-res monitor

kabouter

Hi guys, Do you know of any place in Bali where I can buy these Dell screens (or an equivelant of a different brand)? So basically 27 inch screens with a resolution of 2560x1440 Dell UltraSharp 27 Inch QHD Monitor ? U2715H

Get a 4K TV and connect it to your pc.

I bought an ASUS PB287Q 4k UHD LED Monitor in Rimo for 10jt a few months ago (expensive!). I didn't buy a TV because I needed a DisplayPort (60Hz refresh rate and support for scaled display for Mac) No shop had a DisplayPort to DisplayPort Mini cable, so I got one from outside of Indonesia.

Can't say for sure but you could try here: https://www.facebook.com/FastnCheapBali/ Or there's always RTC Diponegoro: https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/RTC+Diponegoro,+Jl.+Diponegoro+No.+136,+Bali/@-8.6667949,115.2149697,14z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x2dd240c06e80f6b5:0x8f06eff77e8bf09b It'll be a frustrating experience, but they might have some. Just know exactly what you're after and don't believe what the sales people say when asking about technical specifications. They'll say anything to get a sale.

Always haggle.

Thanks guys, a 4k TV is no good, simply because the size is too big (I can get a mini display to hdmi adapter I guess) and the bezels are usually quite big as well. But good to know they have 4k monitors, that should imply they have some 2560x1440 ones as well. I'll check out Rimo, RTC and fastnscheap. Do I need to haggle at these places or are the prices fixed?

bhinneka.com is always worth a look. To get an idea how much to pay or just to find what you search for.... they deliver quite fast... bhinneka.com/products/sku05915905/benq_monitor_led__gw2765ht_.aspx Cant post links so you have to copy and paste it... sorry

Thanks Josh, I always used to buy online back home where they have next day delivery, just not sure how good it is over here. I did find these screens which look good: Jual Monitor LED Ukuran >20 Inch. DELL Monitor LED [U2515H] | Bhinneka.Com Samsung 28" Monitor LED - U28E590 Khusus Jabodetabek | Lazada Indonesia But when I check for delivery to bali it says between the 26th of jan and the 12th of feb. So I think I'll pay a visit to denpasar first.

Josh

Yep. Delivery can be a bit slow here but I have ordered some stuff online the last years and never had a problem so far. If possible select JNE YES (Yakin Esok Sampai - Sure next day) delivery and they will knock your door within 48 hours max. Most of the online shops accept Pay Pal so no problem to get your money back if something goes wrong. Good luck in RIMO...

Eventually bought it at RTC, couldn't find rimo or fast n cheap. Asked everyone if they had a big screen, but nobody had one larger than 24" finally 1 shop had a 27" dell but with a 1920x1200 resolution. Explained to the seller that I needed the high res version. He said he might be able to get it so he called someone else and told me he could get it in 15min. Finally to my surprise he got the U2715HM with a 2560x1440 res in a sealed box. I couldnt get the price down by a lot though and had to pay 8.700.000, which is a bit more expensive than at home but not a lot. Oh and it had a UK plug, so I feel slightly scammed ;) Anyways happy with the screen and thanks for the help guys

RTC is Rimo Trade Center - so you did find it.

kabouter

Ah didn't know that, glad I found it after all :)

Just for info, I'm using the Acer CB280HK 28" 4K monitor very happily. It's 3880 x 2160, being driven thru a Display Port from an AMD based card. Cost [I]in Perth[/I] in October last year - Office Works, $570 approx. I had to buy the graphics card to get Display Port, so the cost was another $130 approx. Looking at 4K is glorious, even for normal documents and on-screen news sites etc. Like looking at velvet.

Bhinneka has it listed for Rp 8,498,000. I've bought several things from them in the past. Never had a problem.

Ah nice that means I didn't get ripped off that much ;). [MENTION=10003]Crofty[/MENTION] ultra HD is nice, but I don't think my macbook pro can handle it. Besides 2560x1440 pixel density is high enough for me (I barely see a difference with my retina screen side by side)
