You are not a bad photographer at all. A bad photographer misses shots and never asks why. Looking at your exif data, your shutter speed is very slow both for being handheld and for a live subject. It should be 1/200 sec or better instead of 1/4 sec. This is hard to achieve indoors unless...

Don't be afraid to try their live chat and haggle, ask what offers are on. Also, keep an eye on the Dell Outlet site for some bargains. In my experience, and I have bought loads from there, they always look like brand new stock. Also Flash Sale on until 10pm, 10% of laptops. Code is SAVE10

The important question is what do you want to use the laptop for e.g. photo editing with Adobe CC etc... Also, how much is the laptop in order to compare it ? I would personally be concerned with the lack of RAM - can this be upgraded and how much by. for what cost. Also, it's a slow...

Thank you, that's a very helpful real world perspective on the differences. It's the scaling in 4k and the immaturity of it still that puts me off. It's a funny one. Literally it's 2.5k, although the market generally calls it 2K or QHD or 1440p when marketing the monitors. It's QHD 2560 x...

Thanks everyone. Agree HD is not going to be enough at 27". Have had iMacs in the past and they have been great at 2k and 27", bearing in mind i'm not a pro and don't print commercially. 2K IPS at 100% sRGB (c. £250-300) or cheap IPS 4k (c. £450), although the reviews of the latter are much...

Very true. I notice this now on the 15" laptop screen, particularly with CC as it's can scale but isn't perfect i the execution. Scaling does seem to help and would presume it looks larger on 27" than 15"?

Thank you. A non-Dell one that I'm looking at is IPS and has 100% sRGB and Rec .709, so I guess that's what you mean ?

Hi everyone, I'm buying a monitor to hook up to my laptop. It's a Dell XPS9550 with 4K, a GTX960 Graphics card and Thunderbolt 3 port. The monitor will be used primarily for photo and video editing and I'm looking at 27" Screen. I have the full Adobe photo and editing suite. Here's the...

OMG...just for the guitar

I have the XPS 15 and it's awesome. I recommend having the 1TB SSD and no spinning drive. Very fast and never any shortage of storage. It doesn't take long to blow through 256GB. 16GB plus of RAM too. If you opt for the 4K screen, read up about scaling. Text can be very small on some...

The first question is: Are you a business or organisation ? If you are an individual using personal data for your own purposes and for no commercial gain, or for household acvtivity then GDPR does not apply to you. The clue is in the penalty for not complying with GDPR: 2-4% of revenue. If...

Doesn't say much for Apple product quality though... ;)

Welcome, and no harm whatsoever in a new user (customer) of the forum providing some feedback. Without listening to its users, internet forums will grow outdated and start to die...

I had an iMac for 6+ years. Generally good and reliable, good quality and worked well. However, it no longer had enough oomph to drive Adobe CC, so longevity became irrelevant. Went to replace it and found the price was double what I could pay for a much much better spec'd Windows 10 laptop...
