      4k is too small, i had this and sold it for a 34" ultra wide

    • Intoxicoligist on 19/05/2021 - 15:29

      144hz if you have a rig that will play games at more than 60fps.
      4k 60hz otherwise.

    • Cas3232 on 19/05/2021 - 16:36

      Never do 60hz in 2021, minimum would be 75hz, as for some reason 75hz feels much superior to 60hz but 144hz 2K is the way to go!

    • justtoreply on 19/05/2021 - 17:23

      Despite everyone on ozbargain raving about refresh rates frankly that's just trying to be cool without actually putting any real thought into your question. Unless you're competitive fps playing then refresh rates are unlikely to be a problem at 60hz

      1. Are you ok gaming with the refresh rate on your current monitor? Go into your operating system settings, it's probably 60hz. If you're happy then don't buy a monitor with higher refresh rates!

      2. If you're happy with your refresh rate, go 4k 60hz if you want more screen realestate (resolution).

      If you want neither refresh or screen realestate then don't buy one of these monitors. Saves you cash and avoid the risk of dealing with issues associated with dpi scaling (which you will use if the text is too small to read). Albeit if you're not running old software then dpi scaling issues probably won't affect you either. I'm not sure what 4k is like at 27" but to give you an idea I'm still using 125% dpi scaling for 4k 43".. So you'll definitely need to turn it on.

      • jasswolf on 19/05/2021 - 20:03

        Honestly, for every day use, I would still recommend 144 Hz or higher, ideally OLED based, but that's not great advice for the current market.

        4K is lovely for stills and high res video, but refresh rate is king for everything else, and HFR video is going to be coming into vogue over the next 18-24 months for live and documentry footage.

        This is a great secondary monitor, not something that I would ever recommend for primary or gaming use longer term.

        • syousef on 20/05/2021 - 11:02

          …unless like me you barely notice the difference in refresh rate. Getting a 144Hz monitor was a letdown. In fact I've gone a few days after making driver changes where I didn't even notice anything was off. In hindsight Fortnite, which I was playing a fair bit, was a bit "jerkier" maybe sorta if I squint. People's vision works differently.

            @syousef: make sure you change the actual refresh rate in the display settings. i know you likely have but plenty say they see no difference but its because they didnt update their settings from 60hz

            • syousef on 20/05/2021 - 11:24

              @jonnys1n: Thanks. I've got a comp sci degree and have worked in IT for a couple of decades. I've got the settings right according to the OSD on the monitor, the NVidia control panel, and the Windows Display Settings. And I've got my FPS capped at 144fps on Fortnite. (My card is a little older, so when testing I have to turn settings down just a bit to get that 144fps). My son can see the difference. I can…maybe…if I look very hard for it.

          • jasswolf on 20/05/2021 - 13:14

            @syousef: What LCD tech was this monitor? If it's not TN, 144Hz is unlikely to be the kind of jump that you'd expect if you've experienced CRT performance.

    • Haulien on 20/05/2021 - 03:44

      I bought this monitor from a previous deal and using it for the last couple of months, I think 4K is a little too dense for a 27".

      If you're planning on mainly movie/tv show consumption on it, then 4K/HDR would be the choice.

      If you're mainly gaming, or really anything else, then grab the 1440p, much better experience at 27" IMO.

      • syousef on 20/05/2021 - 11:03

        What happens if you set your resolution to 1080p? Does it look terrible?

          It wouldn't look good, what you would do in practice is increase the display scaling so that objects/text are larger but still running at native resolution.

        https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Income-and-deductions/In-detail/Capital-allowances---$300-immediate-deduction-tests/#:~:text=You%20can%20claim%20an%20immediate,amount%20before%20applying%20this%20test.

        You can claim an immediate deduction for the cost of a depreciating asset if the cost doesn't exceed $300. The cost of an asset is generally what you pay for it.

        If you are entitled to a GST input tax credit in relation to the asset, reduce the cost of the asset by the input tax credit amount before applying this test.

        • kozb on 19/05/2021 - 15:43

          So, I am a salaried employee with no ABN and I can still claim this is it? Sorry, I am poor with taxation stuff.

          • putshan on 19/05/2021 - 15:46
            +6

            @kozb: I believe you don't need an ABN, you just need to satisfy ALL of these tests:

            Under the capital allowance rules, the immediate deduction is available for depreciating assets you start to hold (for example, buy or receive as a gift) from 1 July 2001.

            Test 1 – the cost of the depreciating asset is $300 or less.
            Test 2 – you use the asset mainly for the purpose of producing assessable income that isn't income from carrying on a business.
            Test 3 – the asset isn't part of a set of assets you start to hold in the income year that costs more than $300.
            Test 4 – the asset isn't one of a number of identical or substantially identical assets you start to hold in the income year that together costs more than $300.

            https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Income-and-deductions/In-detail/Capital-allowances---$300-immediate-deduction-tests/

    • Plutonus on 19/05/2021 - 15:16

      The asset needs to be $300 or less. Each monitor is an asset in its own right.

      However, if you're using them to work from home, you can't claim both a deduction for the monitors and 80c for each hour under the temporary shortcut method.

      You either use the 80c shortcut, or calculate your deduction for all expenses according to the ordinary rules.

      My understanding is if you purchase and are planning on claiming any items for work, you can claim the full amount if the item is under $300 from your taxable income. If you purchase over $300, then the item will need to be claimed through depreciation in the next few years…..

      But not sure, maybe someone can confirm …

      When comments like "colour is inaccurate in comparison to iMac 27 inch" result with a 1 star, you know you have a monitor diva.

      A device failing completely should be 1 star, a device not having correct colours (which you can adjust mind you) should at worst be 3 stars

  • youngchul76 on 19/05/2021 - 15:14

    Coming from iMac 27inch 5k, i tried the ultrawide dell monitor which was quite fuzzy. I think for Mac 4K is pretty important if you want to not be bothered by the font resolution (i use it on 1440 though, and it appropriately scales it so i can actually read letters). I personally would not be happy to connect MacBook to a QHD monitor.

    But what i absolutely love about this monitor is the out of box colour accuracy, i can really tell it’s not that much different from my MacBook display colour profile (without any calibration).

    • SirDale on 19/05/2021 - 16:47

      I've got an LG 5k monitor next to my Dell 4k, and i've set the resolution so that windows dragged from one screen to the other retain the same size.

      The 5k has an edge in sharpness, but the Dell is still aok to look at.

    I am a bit fussy when it comes to picture quality of monitors. I have a wide colour gamut TV and wife colour gamut laptop (both 4K resolution) and this monitor is just as good as them. Can't recommend that enough. I believe it's close to 100% SRGB (which is incredible at this price point) and being IPS colours are very vibrant and viewing angles are really nice. Better yet, it's a flicker free panel (no PWM) which is great. I just don't know how they make them so cheap, I just couldn't fault it at any given category..

    • youngchul76 on 19/05/2021 - 15:24

      The only thing i noticed was the edge of the screen greyish hue blur when looking at it from sides, i think it has been mentioned a few times in the online forums but i got used to it very quickly. But I agree, the colour profile was what really shocked me when i trialed this monitor - it was same as MacBook :)

      • deadpoet on 19/05/2021 - 15:58

        I can't comment on the colour accuracy of the S2721QS as I don't have anything to compare it to, but I've been using this monitor for the past 6 months and it's been fantastic. Absolute bargain for the price. Yes, the far left and far right edges do look a bit blurry/fuzzy (similar to the chromatic aberration you see as a post-processing effect in some video games) but it's not a serious problem at all, and your brain ignores it after a while.

        Would it make a huge difference (ips vs va) for mainly reading texts?

          For reading texts, IPS is recommended, but for gaming and movies, VA panel might be better.

          VA has deeper blacks (not as much IPS glow), but usually requires head-on orientation to get the most color accuracy

        thanks so much guys saved me a hassle of returning.
        I cancelled the va panel one and reordered this one…
        It seems like IPS is better in almost every way

          IPS is much better for text but you won't be buying the screen in this deal for doing office work/text. 4K on a 27" is too much resolution, all the writing is very small and if you crank the windows display scaling to compensate then apps will be rendering wrong and some don't scale at all or incorrectly. This screen is good for watching/editing movies or as a second screen for photo work due to its great color accuracy. If you are buying a primary display then at 27" you are best with a 1440p (2k) display for general tasks as the font is nice and clear, you want at least 30" (ideally 32 or 34) for 4K general/office use.

          This is probably the one you want - https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-27-monitor-s2721d/apd/2…

          27" 1440p 75hz IPS

        Is there a 32" 4k curved ips you can recommend?

    • happydragon on 19/05/2021 - 15:44

      good price if it was IPS.

      I've just orderded one to replace my U2415 24". The S2721QS is better across the board except for connectivity i.e. lack of USB ports

      • cheapocheapo on 19/05/2021 - 16:21

        thank you. ordered one.

      I've just bought one for my U2412M replacement. From color support and pixel pitch point of view, if you are doing media creation which is a good upgrade for sure.

      • cheapocheapo on 19/05/2021 - 16:21

        thank you. ordered one.
