In my eyes, one of the best high refresh rate IPS monitors available to date, and considering the price of an equivalent Samsung G7 (only other 240hz 1440p panel available in Australia), this is a great price with better specs!

Normal RRP is $1349 but has been this cheap once before around the Christmas break.
Still not cheap considering 165hz options out there, but this thing should run circles around other typical gaming monitors in the same 1440p category.

  Would love to get one of these but I'll hold out til real HDR is available for monitors.

    HDR1000 only seems to be available for 4K panels, which I would assume is needed moreso due to full-array backlighting needed for all those delicious pixels. 1440p ain't gonna get that kinda love unfortunately, so HDR600 will be the best we'll see for quite a while :(

    You'll be waiting until OLED and MicroLED, because miniLED dimming zone counts are way too low to avoid halo/bloom effects in gaming.

    One of the few ways around that is dual LCD tech, which is likely expensive, extremely high in lower consumption and reduces viewing angle.

    Just don't fuss yourself with HDR features for gaming, and consider HDR for gaming off the table for 3-5 years.

      wow, that sucks. so if i want a HDR experience while gaming, I basically need a TV?

        It depends on the game. The more a game resembles a cinematic experience, the less reliant you are on precise HDR, but if you're using HDR in very graphically precise or fast-motion games, you want more and more dimming zones, or per-pixel dimming.

        MiniLED TVs are coming in now, and they obviously offer more dimming zones for the same resolutions by virtue of being huge panels with more passive cooling, but again they are outclassed by OLED in these use cases.

        LG Display (note: not their TV brand) are promoting that they will be producing 20-30" OLED panels this year, but they have not announced any models. CSOT, Samsung Display and JOLED would appear to be their competitors, but only JOLED has made any effort to produce panel sizes suitable for desktop displays, let alone displays at high refresh rates.

        Note that LG's professional OLED monitor recently announced at CES uses a 31.5" JOLED panel, so it's every possibility that we won't see consumer OLED monitors until Q2-Q3 2022, but hopefully the incoming manufacturing techniques (multi-model glass tech, inkjet-printed OLED) making this possible provides for competitive pricing against high-end LCD.

  When POE embraces its visual flustercuck and uses it to promote monitors.

  Man, I have a hard time keeping the frames above 120, let alone 240, haha.

  240? I get 300fps in Half Life 2, when am I going to enjoy full frame rate of that lol

    Get the AW2521H or Asus PG259QN…1080p 360Hz

  This is a very good monitor. Just be aware though that it only does 10-bit RGB at 144Hz. If you want to run 240Hz at full RGB it will fall back to 144Hz. Setting a custom resolution of 200Hz at 10-bit doesn't apparently work either, it always reverts to 8 bit above 144Hz according to some Reddit users

    Do you think it's worth it at this price on a 3080 5600 set up?

    • 

      twister292 on 19/01/2021 - 17:26

      Depends on the use case really…240Hz, HDR600 with 32 local dimming zones, GSync Ultimate and Dell's warranty, hard to go wrong for this price tbh.

  can someone who owns this option tell me what scaling options are available in the monitor's menu?

  I presume 4:3, 16:9. Does it also have 1:1?

  Back to $944.30 again if anyone wants to resurrect this one via report
