    Dead pixel RMA is hit and miss. The policy doesn’t cover fewer than 6 dead subpixels. Some people got theirs replaced for fewer than 6 no problem. I, however, was denied replacement for 2 dead subpixels right in the middle of the screen. Just something to keep in mind. Oh, and the contrast sucks. Other than that it’s good for the price.

      They are sent with previous purchases sometimes. Post in the give away request thread. Last time quite a few were offering their unused ones on my previous deal.

      If anyone has a Dell Advantage coupon to share please share it in give away thread linked in OP.

  • ATangk on 20/10/2020 - 16:30

    Is this mountable with a F80 or do I need to use a H80?

    • AssociatedLiMaaa @ Dell on 20/10/2020 - 16:31

      Both my h80 and f80 arrived today but haven't set them up. I have heard both work for the dgf.

      • ATangk on 20/10/2020 - 16:33

        I have one monitor mounted above the others so had to swap out my F80 for a H80. Hence I have an F80 lying around but I heard somewhere that it doesnt work for recessed vesa mounts, only the H80 does. Would appreciate if you could update on this.

        • AssociatedLiMaaa @ Dell on 20/10/2020 - 16:36

          Will do when I set them up, I'm just super busy haha. People discussed it heavily in prime mount sale thread. I'm sure you'll find the answer in comments. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/572135

          • ATangk on 20/10/2020 - 17:05

            @LiMaaa: Preliminary feedback from reading that page, and from when I bought my H80 is that it wont fit without trimming some of the mount. But it would only be off by a few mm…

            • AssociatedLiMaaa @ Dell on 20/10/2020 - 17:06
              +1

              @ATangk: I read 2 people using f80 on dgf with no modification. I'll see if i can quick test tonight.

              • ATangk on 20/10/2020 - 17:09

                @LiMaaa: I must not be reading hard enough. I used the search for dfg instead of dgf, hence couldnt find results. Silly me. Seems promising! That said, I feel like the H80 actually feels more solid as an arm, even though its held up vertically by friction (you'll see what I mean later)

                • pg88 on 20/10/2020 - 17:17

                  @ATangk: I got the H180 and it fits this monitor perfectly. Can't comment about the F80 though

                  • arjay88 on 21/10/2020 - 01:06

                    @pg88: have you stacked 2 x 27" on the h180 before? does it work well?

        • Diswexic on 20/10/2020 - 17:13
          +1

          I just mounted the dgf to an F80 with no modification. You can't use the 4 mounting screws that come with the F80, just have to reuse the ones already on the back of the monitor.

      • caprimulgus on 20/10/2020 - 17:21

        Once you set them up, let us know what you think between the two - I think you're one of the first I've seen mention have both H80 and F80!

        (Mine H80 still hasn't shipped yet!)

      I mounted mine 30 mins ago to the F80 and it just fits.Yes the dell monitor is recessed but if you screw in the top two screw to the monitor with a decent gap enough to slide the monitor onto the mount, then it should fit. Then you do up the bottom two screws. You may need to increase the gap in the top two screws to make the bottom part of the mount fit. But it should fit.

      • ATangk on 20/10/2020 - 17:18

        Or you could ghetto it and install the mount whilst the monitor is already attached ;)

    I have been using mine for a few weeks now and can say it is definitely worth it for gaming. The motion clarity is great. At times, i feel it is a 'little washed out' in game when compared to my previous Innolux IPS. Don't recommend it for video/movies playback if you need good contrast ratio (especially if your games has a lot of dark environment - the immersion is not there). For this reason, I am probably not going to run a similar second screen in my future setup. Probably a good matching refresh rate, resolution and diagonal size on either high quality IPS or VA (ones with minimal/no smearing) for main desktop environment use.

    Warning. On some setup it has intermittent blank screen. It is very annoying and most likely firmware/driver issue.

  • scottsdeals on 20/10/2020 - 17:04

    Would this be good for xbox gaming? Good enough for the new xbox/ps5?

    • netsurfer on 20/10/2020 - 17:52

      Xbox One S,X,sS|X - yes as you get 2K/120hz support.
      PS5 - not sure
      PS4 - not really, as there is no 2K support… and the full HD/1080p support is limited to 60fps I think. This monitor, on the firmware side, some people reported a slightly annoying greyish line at the second last row of pixels when running in 60Hz/fps. The problem could either completely goes away or becomes far less visible at 120Hz or higher.

      If you have really old intel based PCs with integrated graphics, it may not support 2K/120Hz+. Newer intel integrated graphics do.

    Thanks Limaaa, got it from the last deal. You’re a champ!

    Is there a discussion thread about best configuration for this monitor to be used in everyday desktop tasks and gaming? The colors when placed next to my ultrasharp model seems bit weird.

    • netsurfer on 20/10/2020 - 17:54

      You can watch Tim's youTube video as he mentioned a settings you could use to improve the colour accuracy. You could also try the ICC profile in another youTube video or rtings review. However, bear in mind those profiles are tuned for their monitors and may not work as well for you.

      There's some discussion on calibration in the last pages of the previous deals, but in general I find the RTINGS settings (look for the ICC profile and copy the corresponding RGB values) look good to my eyes.

      Out of the box I had slightly yellow whites (which has cleared up) and oversaturation, especially reds. I also turned off HDR. YMMV.

      • kaleidoscope on 20/10/2020 - 19:34

    Maybe it's time to finally upgrade… Gotta decide whether to go ultrawide or not.

    • SnowDragon on 20/10/2020 - 18:57

      If you're a casual gamer then UW. Third party games like Witcher look great.

      If you're more of a shooter/competitive person then this. Since converting from a 34" to a 27" I've noticeably improved in FPS games.
      Your peripheral vision can only do so much.

      • Diji on 22/10/2020 - 16:41

        Mostly strategy games. I think I'm sticking with 16:9 because the monitors that have the features I want in ultrawide are way out of my budget.

        Also I can't go without a second monitor for watching videos and for chat windows so I don't think UW+something else would fit side by side on my desk.

  • John Doh on 20/10/2020 - 18:14

    27" vs 34" ultra wide, which one do you guys suggest? Has anybody used both form factor and found one better than the other for gaming and general use?

    • KangaDrew on 20/10/2020 - 18:29

      38" UW is the sweet spot for getting that extra vertical real estate. Bigger is always better IMO so I would vote for the 34" without question.

      • John Doh on 20/10/2020 - 19:59
        +1

        I totally agree, unfortunately they cost a bomb. Sometimes I wonder if going 4k 40+ would give more real estate but UW is always better for games over 16:9 i feel.

        • KangaDrew on 20/10/2020 - 22:25

          Yeah I'm hanging out for a cheaper deal on the 38" Dell UW so I'm slumming it with my 27" until then :-)

                • KangaDrew on 24/10/2020 - 14:16

                  @Diji: lol Not sure I'd go that far, but yes, I've been saving for it for awhile and itching to pull the trigger. It's 100% used for work/productivity and never any games so all the other gaming features on monitors aren't really a factor for me.

    • eunalee on 20/10/2020 - 18:31

      I have both a 27" 1440p and a 34" UW 1440p monitor and I recommend a 34" 1440p UW if you have room for it on your desk! For general use, 34" UW is noticeably nicer as you have more screen real estate. I would recommend using a program like PowerToys to partition your screen into multiple snapping windows. For gaming, there are only a few games that don't support UW resolution like Valorant. The black border for games that don't support the 21:9 aspect ratio is not really that bad for me; it's something you get used to quickly. For story driven games, the 21:9 aspect ratio of the 34" is really nice and immersive. Also watching movies on a 21:9 ratio is a bliss!
