    Not sure if i should still wait for the S2721DGF to be delivered or cancel and get these.

    • Kill Joy on 21/08/2020 - 10:28

      This is VA, S2721DGF is IPS if that affects your decision. Besides that, this screen scores better for brightness/HDR, but it has a 4ms response time compared to 1ms for the S2721DGF.

      https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/8e771321…

      TLDR; S2721DGF for better colors/response time, this for size/brightness.

        And contrast. This has much better contrast.

          Cheers fellas. I think i'll hold out until the monitors arrive as paying $507.93 each was a crackin deal

          • cnut on 21/08/2020 - 10:38

            @ForeverSol: I ordered one of those too. So I’d be keen on doing a comparison once it arrives.

            You’ll be happy with it no doubt and I wouldn’t cancel that order. $500 for the specs is good value.

            • ForeverSol on 21/08/2020 - 10:40

              @cnut: Definitely as currently i just have an old 28" AOC 1080p 144hz monitor for gaming and a 24" Dell monitor i grabbed from work for media consumption on the side.

          • rokkz on 21/08/2020 - 10:47

            @ForeverSol: What was that deal? the cheapest Ive seen these for was $599 deal recently posted

        • NaRaSaRang on 21/08/2020 - 14:22

          So I hear people say IPS panels have better colour or colour accuracy, while VA ones have better contrast. I was always confused as to the difference between better colour and better contrast. Could someone explain this to me in a simple way?

          • cille745 on 21/08/2020 - 14:38
            +3

            @NaRaSaRang: VA panels having better contrast means that the blacks appear more black than grey as they do on some IPS panels

          • cnut on 21/08/2020 - 14:52
            +1

            @NaRaSaRang: What kille said. You get a more proper black. It’s no OLED but the difference is stark between the panels side by side. So you can see more detail in dark areas.

            I’d stick to IPS for colour accuracy and editing though.

      • ONEMariachi on 21/08/2020 - 13:02

        Response time doesn't matter a whole lot in this context. 165hz panel, so it is refreshing every 6ms, so as long as the response time is below that, you're fine. For the most part these response times are referring to the change of colour from gray to different shade of gray too, so it's not the best metric to work off.

        • chyawala on 21/08/2020 - 13:25
          +1

          While they're both 165hz, I beleive the motion blur and ghosting you will see with fast movement on this VA panel will look nowhere as good as the 1ms IPS. This is because the pixel is spending more of the time in transition. When I have compared a 144hz VA to a 120hz OLED, the OLED looked exactly as it should, whereas the VA suffered motion blur with fast movement.

          • ONEMariachi on 21/08/2020 - 13:31
            +1

            @chyawala: Again that 1ms vs 4ms is in reference gray to gray transitions, and not indicative of much. It's a marketing gimmick at best without more parameters.

            https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/motion/motion-blur-and-…

            While our motion blur test is centered around the response time, the general cause of motion blur is what is called "Persistence". Essentially, the longer a frame is kept on screen before switching to the next one, the blurrier a moving object will appear on-screen. While response time is a good way to reduce persistence, it is greatly affected by other aspects of the screen such as its refresh rate as well as the monitor's ability to use a flickering backlight (also called black frame insertion, BFI, or ULMB) which reduces the time a frame is shown.

            This is why a screen that has an almost instant response time like an OLED TV can still look blurrier than a 120 Hz monitor that has a few milliseconds of average response time (if the content's framerate can match the refresh rate). While the transition time might be instant, the lower amount of "steps" for motion requires our brain to do additional compensation leads to blurrier movement. We've made a series of videos which explain the different aspects that affect motion which you can find on our Youtube channel.

            It's much much more complex than just a response time number.

          • cille745 on 21/08/2020 - 14:39

            @chyawala: Agreed, and with 99% of VA monitors the dark regions will be in the 20-30ms region leading to dark smearing

            • chyawala on 21/08/2020 - 14:59

              @cille745: This raises the question on the Xiaomi 34 inch, sure the specs look seem good on paper like many displays, though how is it at fast paced 165hz?

              • cille745 on 21/08/2020 - 15:19

                @chyawala: exactly, although people in the market at that price wouldn't be considering an IPS anyway so it's still good value

    • Torch000 on 21/08/2020 - 12:17

      Tempted to do the same. This one could be better to be honest, so many reviews are good, and its normally $1k

    • LordNoon6 on 21/08/2020 - 21:21

      I thought of that too but then remember I want to get a VA 4k panel down the line at some point so I won't be swapping over personally. Something to consider.

  • cnut on 21/08/2020 - 10:32
    +7

    I got one of these on the last sale and they’re fantastic. Sure it’s VA, but it’s implemented really well and smearing isn’t really noticeable. In fact side by side with my IPS panels, the contrast on this is much better and for gaming I prefer it over my LG IPS gaming monitor.

    No dead/stuck pixels. Very minimal clouding. One of the best monitors I purchased so I highly recommend them.

    At first I thought the size might be too big for a desk, but it’s great for gaming. Really immersive.

    • jje on 21/08/2020 - 10:51

      I bought one in the last $599 deal as well, and I've had a similar experience. There's a tiny bit of ghosting when you're scrolling text but it doesn't bother me at all. The contrast and clarity is just superb.

  • mrsinistah on 21/08/2020 - 10:50

    My review after 6 months:

    Pros:
    - Fantastic viewing angles
    - Resolution, Refresh Rate, Contrast, and Image quality is amazing for both office work and gaming
    - Stand is easily adjustable
    - Menu is easy to navigate
    - One of the best monitors I've used for this size, better than most compeditors regardless of the VA Panel - It's fantastic.
    - Curve is perfect, really comfortable to use and immersize.

    Cons:
    - You'll never be able to use a smaller monitor again
    - Minor ghosting when text scrolling

    One tip is to make sure your desk is deep enough to sit a solid distance away from the monitor. I personally sit around 75cm from the display for maximum comfort.

    I haven't used the Xiaomi, but I wouldn't regret buying for this price.

    • kodoq on 21/08/2020 - 11:15

      Thanks mate.

    • SpaceGhost on 21/08/2020 - 14:29

      I got one of these last time for $599.
      I agree with eveything you have mentioned.

      Also Con: Once you have played some games in HDR everything else looks flat colour wise with out it.

      • andgucps on 21/08/2020 - 15:34

        When not playing games in HDR, you should turn the windows HD colour setting off.
        Otherwise it will artificially restrict the colourspace and contrast of ALL other desktop content. It's clear if you check the grays of programs while turning it on and off.

  • Kallak on 21/08/2020 - 11:22

    I have one of these and am waiting to return it for a refund. My panel has significant clouding - too much for the price.

    I'd also note that the wide colour gamut means that reds and greens are extremely overblown - muting these colours means reducing the accuracy/saturation of others. I wouldn't recommend this if you do any kind of image/video editing.

    This monitor has The Premium Panel Guarantee.

    I'm a bit fussy about bad pixels, what the chance that I will run into problems? How strict are they on resolving this. I have never had a problem with Dell in the past, they have been good.

    • sushimaster on 21/08/2020 - 11:59

      The premium panel guarantee sucks. This was the first time i had to use it on the S2721DGF. (I have brought loads from dell and never needed to use their warranty service)

      The communication within their technical support is pretty bad. Told them i could wait till they have stock to replace my monitor. Instead they rushed and sent me the S2719DGF displicte the fact that I have mentioned on MULTIPLE occasion that DO NOT want that model (for very obvious reasons)

      Now the warranty status is not showing on my S2721DGF and am still waiting for them to fix it.

      Props wont get anything from them anymore

      • LordNoon6 on 21/08/2020 - 14:43

        How have you received the S2721dgf already? I thought it was a rather new monitor

          Was one of the few that ordered when the deal came out. It's an LG ips panel so expect problems down the line. mine is exp bad as its got bright pixel and red tin across the monitor. been dealing with their "amazing" customer service for a month already. Dont call as some of the operator can be EXTREMELY rude. Got shout at insisting that they have sent the correct model after ive got the wrong one :) (showed them photos as well)

          • LordNoon6 on 21/08/2020 - 16:55

            @sushimaster: Thank you for letting us know. I'm expecting my order to come around late October, hopefully they'll have worked out some of the kinks by then. If not I'll have to get on their arse if theres any issues.

      Dell has "bright" pixel guarantee, which in most cases is useless as bright pixels are rare, dark pixels are more common. VA monitors tend not to have dark pixel issue, but that can still happen.

      Dell's premium panel guarantee is pretty useless when it comes to dark pixels. Last time I had to use 14 days satisfaction guarantee to return a "premium" monitor with a couple of dead pixels. Because I used that option (nuclear option if you like), Dell CSR insisted that I paid for return postage.

    • staz on 21/08/2020 - 20:35

        Works for me.

    • netsurfer on 21/08/2020 - 14:10

      FreeSync Premium Pro is pretty much G-sync compatible. The only question is whether G-sync "compatible" also works in HDR mode or not on nVidia cards (hearing mixed results). FreeSync Premium Pro is basically AMD's FreeSync with HDR support. However, honestly, HDR400 isn't true HDR.

    • kml22 on 21/08/2020 - 15:52

      Probably not mate, even if you follow the rules Cash Rewards will make up something to reject your cashback.
      For example, if you received Dell Reward program code, if you use that, your cashback will get rejected as well.
