First post!

Been keeping an eye out for the LG27GL850 but prices have been sky high since the last $699 on Amazon. I saw the S2721DGF paper release last month and was interested. Saw the Coupon code and it took it down from $629 to $534.66. The panels are supposedly the same as the LG27GL850 but you'll have to put up with the Dell aesthetic. Dell also seems to have excellent warranty service so that's a plus. It seems to be an great buy for creatives as well since it covers 98% DCI-P3.

      • Pace210 on 01/08/2020 - 15:47

        Trying to get my head around this. from what I understand Va panels are better but have bad response time, but if it's 1s gtg is it ok or am I missing something?
        Could someone clarify please.

          Other way around. IPS panels are better but the delay is normally worse. They've been tightening response times of late though

      • Phade on 01/08/2020 - 16:55

        Curved is better for immersion, especially if you sit close to it. VA is better contrast.

    Literally just bought the gl850 a few days ago for $749 (haven't received it yet) after spending ages looking for a monitor, and now this deal comes about and I could have got it and saved like $200…

    • HeyHeyHeyIsItADeal on 01/08/2020 - 15:31

      IDK for some reason people are saying the GL850 is better but I have no idea how and why when they use the same panel. I guess you got a good deal because most are $800+

      • Aidan0098 on 01/08/2020 - 15:49

        Yeah I wouldn't know either but hey, at least it makes me feel like I didn't spend 200 extra for nothing really haha

      • swimmingtoad on 01/08/2020 - 18:25

        The panel is important, but not the only factor,no different to Kogan using the same Panels as big brand TVs with very different outcomes.
        This is why there are always very good and pretty average implementations using the same panels.

        • al751 on 01/08/2020 - 19:16

          The LG has great overdrive tuning. The Viewsonic XG270QG uses the same panel and its tuned really poorly with lots of overshoot below max refresh rates. This monitor is untested - whilst it probably achieve similar colours, theres nothing to indicate it will perform as well. it may or may not. panel type is not the only differentiating factor! you got a decent deal anyway, on a monitor that should last your several years :)

      • Black Hole on 01/08/2020 - 18:46

        I refuse to buy LG product in general. Not a reliable company to deal with.

  • Azif on 01/08/2020 - 15:29

    my old u2711 is dying it only turns on occasionally

    already have a 240hz tn panel for gaming, do i get a xiaomi for productivity (spreadsheets) instead…

    • passwordistaco on 02/08/2020 - 08:14

      Ultrawide for spreadsheets. Can't comment on the Xiaomi but I have an Ultrawide primarily used for work. Feels like a game changer!

  • Black Hole on 01/08/2020 - 15:50
    +1

    Bought 2 to replace my 34" Dell U3415W. I believe these 2 monitors will be more practical than the 34".

    Thanks OP.

    • nformone on 01/08/2020 - 16:08

      I've been trying to decide between 2 of these and a single 34" ultrawide. Mind if I ask why are you dropping the ultra wide?

      • ctg on 01/08/2020 - 17:06
        +2

        Here to also chip in; I have a Dell 34" Ultrawide at 120Hz.

        If you're gaming and play relatively modern titles, the ultrawide will generally be supported and provide a very nice experience. If you're comparing multiple spreadsheets, webpages etc on a regular basis, there are inherent benefits in having multiple 16:9 displays.

        I'm not looking back from my Dell U3011 (16:10, 60Hz, still crankin) as the increase in peripheral vision and high refresh is delicious. Had multiple screens years ago but I only use those at work now.

        • nformone on 01/08/2020 - 17:35

          Appreciate the insights…I live in VS Code,Jira, SharePoint Query Editors, Browser and Power BI. Gaming is a side benefit. I get tearing on my current 24" monitors. I'm thinking I'm going to stick with the 2 monitors set up.

    • Black Hole on 01/08/2020 - 16:45

      Not really wide enough for 2 Excel worksheet and too wide for 1 :).
      Also a few old games do not support the Ultrawide. I rather play game on 1 and surf Ozbargain on the other at the same time :).
      It is also too wide to play some of the game as you can only concentrate in the middle and not the periphery.

      • nformone on 01/08/2020 - 17:38

        Makes sense. Thanks for the reply. Wondering if 2 - 27's is too wide as well. I've got 2 - low level 24" Dells now.

        • Black Hole on 01/08/2020 - 18:48

          I have a feeling the 2x27 is a bit wide. 24" should be better but I have not setup monitor in these arrangement. I won't know until a few months of regular use.

  • 5teve on 01/08/2020 - 15:54

    Is this better than Acer predator xb271hu? Buying screen for the kid and want to know if I should use the Acer or the dell?

    • locknuts on 01/08/2020 - 17:11

      Well I'm upgrading from a XB270HU to this, but mostly because it's busted. This is supposed to be the same panel as the LG GL850 which is slightly better than the Acer Predator on Rtings in almost every category:

      https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/acer-predator-x….

      Seems like the LG panel is way brighter by looking at the figures. Only real downside is G-sync compatible rather than native.

  • kml22 on 01/08/2020 - 16:56

    Pretty good price for a new release, using two discount code work out to be around 20% off.
    I'm going to wait for the next sale, 30% on these.

  • takemymoney on 01/08/2020 - 16:56

    nice specs but price is hardly justifiable for non-gaming…

  • High_Point on 01/08/2020 - 17:03

    did anyone's cart end up at $571.82?

    i'm waiting to see if i accidentally selected one of the warranty options but i'm sure i saw $534.66 when i was going through the payment gateway.

    Order Id hasn't been processed yet so i can't confirm it, but cash rewards is stating the $571 price.

    edit: tried the warranty options but all of them would shoot it over the price with the coupon code.
    that and the cashback only looks to be 3 % =S

  • locknuts on 01/08/2020 - 17:04

    Finally I can afford to upgrade my artifacting Predator XB270HU! Just bought one of these bad boys. Thanks OP!!

    • [Deactivated] on 02/08/2020 - 00:53

    Also i just notes that it has 109 Pixel Per Inch! Is it a good thing or a bad one?

    Curious to know if this will make PS4 Pro games look worse since PS4 Pro supports only 1080p and 4K. Has anyone used this monitor with consoles before?

    • passwordistaco on 02/08/2020 - 08:19

      I haven't but I have done some reading online. Apparently it's a no-go, either 1080p or '4k'.

      Hopefully the PS5 supports 1440p high refresh rates.

      • gizmomelb on 02/08/2020 - 16:40

        if the PS5 has HDMI to support >60Hz 4K displays it won't work on this monitor as it only has HDMI 2.0

          Hi guys. TA from Cashrewards here.

          There is no need to do anything as we’re aware sales are tracking at 3%, but please note this condition in the terms for Dell on Cashrewards:

          Cashback is ineligible if using coupon codes not listed on Cashrewards.

          As this code is not listed, we’re unsure if Dell will give the all clear. Receiving a tracking email is unfortunately not a guarantee that cashback will be honoured by the store in circumstances such as these. We’re at their mercy.

          I will be in contact with Dell on Monday to get clarity on this deal and any associated cashback and will respond to my own comment here once I have all the details. Fingers crossed. Thanks.

          • tightarse on 03/08/2020 - 18:13

            @tightarse: Guys, please note we're yet to hear back from Dell. Please bear with us… I will certainly keep you all posted :)

            @tightarse: Hi guys. Some good & not so good news. Dell has confirmed the following:

            • All tracked sales utilising code AUAFFILIATES15%OFF on its own from 01/08/20 to 03/08/20 will have cashback honoured (as a one-off).
            • All tracked sales utilising code ECU5, on its own or in combination with any other code, will have cashback declined (as per the terms re unlisted codes).
            • Use of code AUAFFILIATES15%OFF from 04/08/20 onwards will not be honoured and cashback will be declined.
            • All valid purchases that tracked at 3% have now been adjusted to 6% in your Cashrewards accounts.

            Thank you.

      Its likely going to get denied unless they change their stance. Mine was from a previous deal. About 1 week after and tracking email confirmation, it just changed to declined on cashrewards.
