The Dell 27" 1440p goes back today. I couldn't live with the inferior text quality coming from a hiDPI laptop. So I now have a 27" 4K LG (27UK650) running with a 150% scaling and it looks so crisp.

Also picked up a hook to hang my headphones on under the desk, keeps the desk clutter free.

I would really like to know how is the picture quality between Dell U2719D and LG 27UK650. Resolution is obviously different but how do colours, contrast, backlight bleed and stuff like this compare. Dell is factory calibrated while LG is not, can LG match the colours of Dell? Some reviews also say that Dell is not flicker free while LG is, have you noticed any difference?

Can you please let us know.

I have found the colours and contrast to be good, I don't have any way to measure them so it's more a case of "I don't have any issues with colours or contrast", they are where I would expect them to be. When editing photos in Lightroom the colours look good, but I'm not a professional who can measure it.

I haven't noticed any flickering. The main reason I changed is as mentioned in my post, sharper text and UI assets, and for this it delivers.

HDR within games is always a bonus.

Thought of getting an i1 Display Pro or something of the like and calibrating it properly?

Why does this setup make me think of A Clockwork Orange?

My keyboard moves waaay too much to make a wire hole like that work. I like to be able to completely take the keyboard off the desk too. Don't think I can go back to wired now.

The setup as a whole looks incredible though.

It is the kind of setup a murderer would have so you are on the right track

I’ve got the 600 version of that monitor to share between PC and PS4. It’s PQ really is awesome for the price.

Thank you. What about eye strain or headaches, did yo find that one monitor had any advantages over another after using it for several hours.

Neither gave me any eye strain or headaches using all day. Text is easier to read on the LG due to it being crisper.

That's good to know, thank you.

So not every day is a bright sunny day, like today it's raining and light is poor. This gives the super white clean setup a different look.

I've also stopped using the wrist rest for now - extra minimalism.

I have a Keychron K2 keyboard coming which I will see how it looks in this setup, that comes in June. It's not white so that will be interesting!

If that's a hue strip, can you please spend £20 and buy the extension so the light isn't off centre and not filling the desk
