Even without cashback, I believe this is the cheapest ever?

Its a lot of money for a monitor without HDR, although real HDR is much more expensive then this.
Seems like a lot of monitors are part of this sale.
This looks interesting
Samsung LC27HG70QQEXXY 27in Curved Freesync QLED WQHD HDR Gaming Monitor CHG70
Somewhere between fake HDR and real HDR.$883.00 on Staticice
$781.44 here https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Samsung-LC27HG70QQEXXY-27in-…Is there a point in HDR that isn't even remotely HDR? That monitor isn't even up to DisplayHDR400 spec, but speaking in general terms, aren't you better off running a signal that is mastered for SDR if your display isn't capable of actually displaying HDR?
Plenty of HDR compatible but not real HDR spec TVs still show benefit with HDR content, albeit not to the sources true potential. Would the same not hold true for monitors?
Hmmmm. I should test it. My monitor is "HDR".
@TheContact: By all means. With TVs the non compliance to proper spec to not get the full benefit tends to be around 8bit v 10bit and lower brightness/lumens. We have 2 differing HDR TVs and both do show improved colours with good HDR sources. Its widely known with TV enthusiasts nfi why i got negged.
why should you get this over the x34p? x34p much cheaper
RGB that's why /s
They both have dumb edgy styling and LEDs though
I'd much prefer Dell's amazing support if something goes wrong but that's about it.
As far as I know the Alienware has more RGB, but tomato, tomahto. Either way, both are decent monitors.
Mainly warranty, but both have their own advantages.
Advantages to the Alienware
Warranty - both are 3 years, Dell does advance replacement (sends you replacement first), and pays shipping both ways. Acer has you send yours in first, and you pay shipping. Shipping one of these isn't cheap.
Advantages to the Acer
Speakers (if you need them)
8-bit + FRC (if you have a use for 10-bit)
OSD control for gamma (biggest advantage in favour of Acer)
I pulled the trigger and got this monitor, can't wait to get it now on my new build. Cheers
Awesome monitor. Can't fault it at all! Got mine delivered within a few days from Dell.
Managed to pick it up for $1360 via dell website with the cashreward promotion not long ago! $1399 is an awesome price!
