By "get" do you mean build a pc? If not, definitely build. It's not hard, and definitely worth it.
- build is a possibilityKiko
- Aye, build that shit - it's a lot easier than you think and you can save on the parts by buying from different places.face_melter
- Oh yeah, build it. Seriously. it's really not hard and is almost fun. Almost. And at least you'll know how it all works when it breaks... :)detritus
- Came from 10+, years of Macs with zero modern PC knowledge. Built mine in half a day and had a huge erection when it booted up and worked first time.face_melter

The Asus PG... Model is also a killer device, but the Dell looks more like an adult product.
You don't already bought an Apple Display or? Please do not buy these
- Why not? I was looking into it. Very expensive. I currently own an Imac 27 and I love the screen.Kiko
- You will be able to get the exact same panel from its original manufacturer much cheaper, be it Dell or whoever. Don't buy Apple displays.face_melter
- The Apple Cinema Display glares, can not be calibrated properly, has low resolution and high latency. Comparable displays cost around $200.mekk
- comparables are not quite that cheap... more like $400-$750monospaced
- even the Dell up a couple of posts retails for $800, and you can't even use it to daisy chain thunderboltmonospaced
- $500 gets you a dell 5K display with everything you like: https://www.amazon.c…

- Yes, that's a nice display, thanks. Only 2.5k, half of the 5k, but nice.monospaced
- and right exactly in the middle of the range I stated, too, so thanks for backing up my point :)monospaced
- Nope. Don't get apple display. Same reason as mekk stated. Can't calibrate. And not even sure if it's 100% adobergb cuz apple refuge give give out that info.pango
- If I remember correctly. Third party testing says it has 98% srgb and with even lower coverage of adobeRGB. I need to find that test result again...pango

I've always bought Dell monitors... aside from my last one, which was from a small British company - http://hazro.com/
I bought it because it was basic but had a great panel and a solid metal case and was cheap - but it has fuck-all features.
But then, I never use features.
The supplier I bought from - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ - is who I'd recommend all Brits buy from, but they've stopped stocking Hazro for whatever reason.
Again though - go to a shop and try out a curved monitor. That's what I'd get next for gaming (well, I'd prefer a Vive :)

DELL- Are they any good for design? Can I wall mount it?Kiko
- Yeah, Apple use(d) Dell for their panels. Can't go wrong for an all-round monitor, especially with g-sync.face_melter
- Thing is, if you're getting a decent PC for gaming, it will flatten the Mac in terms of performance - the graphics card primarily.face_melter
- Thanks for the info! Looking into it now.Kiko

I wish Dell or the like designed a monitor that looked decent...
