Hi Combat squirrel,,,,
May be worth consideration as we have just given the last unit of this product to OcUK at a decent discount and it will arrive with them on Monday - so if you want it, place pre-order now to secure it:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/aoru...-intel-i7-6700hq-gaming-laptop-lt-026-au.html
Sold @ £2,099, and although was discounted down from that level, it never got close to £1,799.
Appreciate that is above your target price, but gives you a 4K panel, and mini DP and also HDMI 2.0, benefits being:
"HDMI 2.0 – True 4K Ultra HD
The incorporation of HDMI 2.0 brings screen resolution to the next level. Unlike HDMI 1.4 which only supports 8-bit colour up to 30 frames per second, HDMI 2.0 display is truly breath-taking. Supporting up to 18 Gbps transfer, the true potential of 4K resolution is realized through 12-bit colour and up to 60Hz refresh rate! See videos, photos, and games how they were meant to be seen, in true high definition!"
