    Don't know much about monitors but this is an absolute steal considering the specs and price. Anyone who is far more knowledgeably in the field of monitors care to explain the catch? The popular Dell S2721DGF is the closest monitor in price with similar specs (27", 144hz+, IPS, QHD) but that is still over $550.

      I just bought 2 of the Dell's and am very tempted to cancel and purchase these.

        I'd say do some research into this monitor first. As HW unboxed showed on their channel the Dell is an excellent performer pretty much on par with one of the best 27" QHD 144hz monitors out there, the LG GL850. There has to be a reason why this monitor has essentially the same specs at a far cheaper price lol. I'm sure they cut corners somewhere

        Not 10bit panel and someone experienced occasional screen blackouts using G-sync

        • dust on 17/11/2020 - 12:48

          The Dell one isn't a 10 bit panel either though right?

      Here is the review on RTings

          Is a worthwhile comparision.

          • netsurfer on 17/11/2020 - 13:00

            @Zephyrus: That's a different monitor. As an owner of S2721DGF, that Dell monitor is okay, but it does has its flaws. Sure, most reviews rate the Dell highly, but it is not that good to be honest: 60Hz mode isn't that great (faint line at the second last row of pixels), occasional blackouts, IPS glow (some people find it on the high side).

            • caffeine69 on 17/11/2020 - 15:44

              @netsurfer: Genuinely asking, but what do you use the 60hz mode for?

              • netsurfer on 17/11/2020 - 20:48

                @caffeine69: Older PCs / laptops (with old intel CPU and embedded graphics), PS4 (used to own one), Android boxes, Mobile phones (both iPhones and Android phones).

                Someone had issue with i7-8700 (with Intel UHD 630) with 1440p @120Hz using HDMI. I am not sure whether that user tried DisplayPort. At the moment, without a dedicated nVidia or AMD graphics cards, I only know my intel 8th gen NUC is capable of supporting 120Hz.

                • caffeine69 on 17/11/2020 - 21:00

                  @netsurfer: 1440p 144hz only works over HDMI 2.0+. Your monitor probably doesn't have a port that supports HDMI 2.0+. Try using a DisplayPort.

                  Also, I don't actually own a 144hz monitor so not sure if this would cause worse performance but why not keep the monitor in 144hz mode, even if your phone, older pc etc. only supports a max of 60? The mode itself might be the issue there

                  • netsurfer on 17/11/2020 - 21:12

                    @caffeine69: Mate, you have no idea what you are talking about:

                    why not keep the monitor in 144hz mode

                    If your source device cannot send out 144hz, even if the display is capable of it, it won't be able to run in that mode. That's what this is about - having decent 60Hz support so those older devices will work fine without any glitch (when running in fallback 60Hz mode).

                    Your monitor probably doesn't have a port that supports HDMI 2.0+

                    I own a monitor that has a better specs than this. Just because I have a 1440p 165Hz monitor, it doesn't mean EVERY device, even say an ancient intel Ivy Bridge system with embedded graphics can do 1440p/165Hz automagically. The entire path from the graphics port output (HDMI or DisplayPort), the cable and the monitor must ALL be capable of 1440/165Hz for it to work in that mode.

                    Obviously, I use a PC with a fairly recent nVidia card on my high refresh rate monitor, but for older devices, my Dell high refresh rate monitor isn't without issue.

    Honestly, these specs are so good at this price that I wouldn't see myself needing to upgrade for a long time considering 1440p155 is harder to run than 4k and should still look fantastic with a half-decent IPS panel. There are no reviews online unfortunately but the monitor can't be that bad for a new 2020 release with promising paper specs.

    The major difference between Dell S2721DG and this one,
    AOC Q27G2S has DP 1.2, Dell has DP 1.4.
    Dell S2721DGF can export 2k, 144hz and 10bit simultaneously.
    This one exports 2k, 144hz and 8 bit.

    • hollykryten on 17/11/2020 - 13:16

      And also for the fact the Dell S2721DGF was going for around twice the price.

    • netsurfer on 17/11/2020 - 13:20

      Specs wise, they both look like the same panel from LG. Dell probably has a newer firmware (which has its pros and cons).
      Both are 8-bit+FRC. Now, if you claimed the Dell one being 10-bit, then it's the same for AOC. Honestly, both are 8-bit+FRC.

      DisplayPort 1.4 - so what? It's not like the Dell can do 4K and the 165Hz technically is overclocked.

      I feel that Dell S2721DGF needs a firmware upgrade to patch some of its minor glitches. Those minor bugs may not be show stoppers, but they are annoying.

      If given the choice again, I would get this one over Dell S2721DGF. Even though I paid ~$508 for the Dell, I don't really feel it is worth it. Overspending on 1440p high refresh monitors now isn't wise.

      • hollykryten on 17/11/2020 - 14:05

    • OrenjiO on 21/11/2020 - 00:23
      +1

      Couldn't wait for it to restock so i went to pick it up today. Damn it was a much heavier box than the 24G2 and bigger for sure!
      First impression with an hour of FPS game. It is surprisingly similar in performance, i can tell 155Hz vs 144Hz, please don't tell me otherwise. Very quick respone time, although i can notice some dark trail at the end!? Even with multiple overide settings, they seem to be a very minor difference. Medium to strong is the setting to use. I'm just being picky moving my mouse cursor slow enough to neat pick the hell out of it.
      24" to 27" is huge, i have a monitor arm, but still, it's huge. Yeah i had a 32" as my main monitor before, loved it, but not for FPS of course.
      One of the best IPS with even blacklight lit i have had.
      Colour wise, a wide colour gamut monitor (Native 10-bit ?), a bit saturated to the red, just like 24G2.
      Waiting for a proper review from Hardware Unboxed! This will stay with me until the next gen "32G2" come in with a 4K/144p haha.

      • gogo1234 on 22/11/2020 - 20:36

        Ok so its wide gamut, could you check if it has a SRGB mode/setting build in to the OSD and just check if thats working in windows to clamp the colors down? The dell does not have this and its a major pain in the butt. Thanks.
