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.

Extra info on the side:

        Are you sure? I added the EPP5 code on top last night and it brought the price down to $507.93. Proof

        I bought the thing on the spot.

        Pretty sure cashback doesn't apply to coupon codes not advertised on their website(s). Correct me if I'm wrong

                @sushimaster: Haha, I actually did think about posting, had the listing all ready to hit submit at 3am, but I still looked at the $507.93 price and said to myself, "That can't be right, it's way too cheap for a 27" 1440p 165 Hz IPS panel that's the same panel as the LG 27GL850. Maybe I'll wait until it actually ships first before I post before I call it a legit deal."

        Yeah I was gonna say, VX2758-2KP-MHD seems to be about $450-$500 and for the little bit extra I would go with the dell for quality and warranty. Best in class when it comes to after sale service.

        • FireRunner on 01/08/2020 - 14:57

          So disappointed that my viewsonic monitor got a stuck pixel about 2 months after purchasing. Viewsonic refused to help. Will never purchase from them again and I don't recommend them to anyone

          • Jenny Death on 01/08/2020 - 17:06

            @FireRunner: Most brands are like that unfortunately. From memory acer, viewsonic, samsung and asus all have similar pixel policies past 1 month.

    • MBix on 01/08/2020 - 13:30

      I have the ViewSonic and I love it, however for whatever reason it won't achieve 1440p@120hz with the Xbox One X. Now this obviously isn't an issue now as hardly anything utilizes that res/refresh rate on the One X, but my concern was that it won't hit that on the Series X later this year either. ViewSonic were great trying many different things to get it working but in the end offered me a RMA #. Was going to buy a BENQ or LG-GL850 but now pulling the trigger on the Dell.

      Obviously this is very much only a specific issue for the ViewSonic, and not even really an issue, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

      • panda120 on 01/08/2020 - 15:34

        Just on this, I initially wasn't able to get 144hz but it turns out only one of the hdmi ports were capable of doing it so if you do have a second port, I recommend trying it. All the best!

        • MBix on 01/08/2020 - 16:08

          Hey mate, appreciate the reply. Definitely tried this amongst a ridiculous amount of combination of settings cables etc, 1440p@120/144hz works perfectly on PC with the ViewSonic just somewhere the Xbox One X and ViewSonic do not like one another

    • Steve238 on 01/08/2020 - 13:47

      I have this, Some or most of these monitors are known to flicker. Mine does if it sees a specific picture. I can link it if you want and anyone who wants to check their own viewsonic.

    • Torch000 on 01/08/2020 - 14:43

      Just bought the Viewsonic yesterday, fantastic monitor. Colours are great, and matches well to the dell ultrasharp I've been using for colours and contrast. Warranty is another thing, I bought it from centrecom, so in store warranties are usually pretty straight forward. Its similar priced but a bit cheaper, quality is pretty similar so either pay more for a premium brand or save some cash.
      The viewsonic is extremely popular though, so they're hard to get, and usually don't last long

    • FireRunner on 01/08/2020 - 15:12

      I'd recommend Dell because of the 3 year premium panel guarantee. Viewsonic refused to help after a stuck pixel appear on my monitor (the VX2758-2KP-MHD) 2 months after purchasing.

      I have the 27GL850 as well, and I just bought this one. After 27GL850, it's hard to go back to shitty spec

      • HeyHeyHeyIsItADeal on 01/08/2020 - 14:14

        Sorry, Did you mean this monitor that was shit compared to the GL850? I thought they used the same panel? :O

          Think he meant that he needs another good monitor to go with the LG one

    • richox on 01/08/2020 - 14:23

      I've got two different monitors side by side.
      The aesthetic is weird. The bevels, the offset, the colour, they're all slightly different. If you like a super sleek clean look, you might find this jarring.
      Just something to consider.

      • Notoriousbird on 01/08/2020 - 14:32
        +1

        I ended up buying it. I think they look pretty similar, in terms of bezels, colours and size to the LG 27". The only thing that is different is the logo on the bottom bezel, which for me is no big deal. Will probably need a dual monitor mount though and it would look pretty sick.

    Just bought this in the morning: https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-ultrasharp-27-usb-c-hub… (but from the dell outlet store for cheaper). Should I cancel and get this instead?

    The pros of the u2721DE seem to be the usb-c for my MacBook. But I could just get an adaptor?

    I plan to use it mainly for work and occasional gaming.

    • ATangk on 01/08/2020 - 14:16
      +2

      You wont be driving it higher than 60Hz on USB-C, but even if you got this monitor, your macbook wont be getting the high frame rates.

      • Mr Brown on 01/08/2020 - 14:21

        In that case I might stick with the u2721DE. Planning on getting a switch sometime but realised that can only go max 60Hz as well.

        • HD9990 on 01/08/2020 - 16:43

          The one you bought was a 8 bit panel however this one in the deal is a 10-bit (or maybe 8-bit+rfc) panel which means better color. So if I were you I would cancel last order and get this one. But if you care about USB-C then that's a different story

          • Mr Brown on 01/08/2020 - 16:57

            @HD9990: Yeah USB-C would be amazing. But then again, if I ever get a gaming pc instead of a switch, the u2721DE won't hold up as much.

            • HD9990 on 01/08/2020 - 17:06

              @Mr Brown: It seems like…. this one doesn't come with a speaker… so won't fit your potential switch that well.

                @HD9990: Ah okay. I think I might stick with what I bought already then. Got it for $550, think that's not too bad considering I still get 3yr warranty

      I was in the same predicament, but in the end I bought the Dell.
      Had no problems with their monitors and warranty, plus the specs are similar (identical?) to the LG. That and we won't see a nice Amazon price on the LG anytime soon since these have been out of stock for a while.

  • Kidaway on 01/08/2020 - 14:41

      refresh rate vs resolution. Depends on what you want.

      But i would go for this cos at 27 inch i dont think i need 4k. The higher refresh rate suits me better

      • lasterato on 01/08/2020 - 15:21

      • hybridx on 01/08/2020 - 16:19

        I was contemplating the same but ended up pulling the trigger on this one. Figure there’s more refinement yet to go in the 4K space.
        Also this is more than half the price of the LG GN950

        • howard22 on 02/08/2020 - 09:33

          • hybridx on 03/08/2020 - 10:46

            @howard22: I think its a combination of price point, refinement and yet to see capabilities and features of the new graphics cards. Might pickup the GN950 after its been on the market for a bit and once it goes on sale.

      • Freestyle on 01/08/2020 - 18:05

      • backslashio on 01/08/2020 - 15:37

        You don't need to handle 1440p with your GPU right now, 1440p is a benefit when using Windows by itself at that size. You can still play the game in 1080p

            @piston3461: Yea don’t want to scale it to blurry 1080p but that option is definitely available.

      • DeToxin on 01/08/2020 - 15:59

        I've been wondering the same thing. I was looking at the aw3420dw and previously the 3418dw, and it seems that if you are prepared to wait, those ultrawides always get price cut from RRP down to around 1k when the newer model releases. Don't quote me, but search ozb for aw3418dw and check the deal listings. If you're holding off buying a gpu till early next year, i would save more and wait for the monitor too.
        Edit: what I'm getting at it that dell seems to regularly discount their range until the new model releases, at which point the older model is a steal
