    S2722DC would be nice, 4K on a 27" is nice but 1440p is sufficient IMHO.

    • Chinaforever on 22/03/2022 - 07:31

      The DC at 1440p on my max mini is pretty crappy. All the icons are tiny. I’ve got dual screens so it’s next to a QC and it’s perfect. Wish I got two QCs.

        You can blame Apple for that. :)

      • netsurfer on 22/03/2022 - 12:55

        QC is perfect? Really? If you want HDR @ 4K/60Hz, do you lose USB 3? If you let it operate in USB 3 mode, you don't get HDR right?

        You probably won't run into the same issue in DC because 1440p doesn't need that much bandwidth.

      • netsurfer on 22/03/2022 - 16:31

        That means your DC and QC are running in two different scaling mode. Normally, if they are both 27 inch, Macs suppose to pick the correct mode and essentially scaled them to what looks to be roughly the same.

        • Chinaforever on 22/03/2022 - 16:36

          Would love that… but they’re not.

          • netsurfer on 22/03/2022 - 16:48

            @Chinaforever: You tried changing the scaling option in Display (System Preferences)? I used both 2K and 4K 27 inch monitors with multiple Macs, I don't face the same issue.

        • eug on 22/03/2022 - 16:50

          Normally, if they are both 27 inch, Macs suppose to pick the correct mode and essentially scaled them to what looks to be roughly the same.

          In the past yes, but Apple does not allow it on their M1 Macs. You can use that opensource program as a workaround to enable HiDPI scaling. Apple would rather you buy one of their monitors though.

          • netsurfer on 22/03/2022 - 16:57

            @eug: Okay, will try M1 on a 2K display later. Dell did cut corner on the USB-C side for S2722DC (to save cost) - DisplayPort 1.2 only. I reckon due to that, Apple M1 doesn't treat it the same.

            Apple's handling of Display preferences is annoying. You have very limited control.

            • eug on 22/03/2022 - 17:07

              @netsurfer:

              DP1.2 can handle up to 4K75 though, it is plenty for the S2722DC's measly 1440p. What would the benefit be with DP1.4 on that monitor?

              • netsurfer on 22/03/2022 - 18:55

                @eug: DP1.2 requires all 4 lanes in order to achieve 4K/60Hz/8-bit, which means you have to forgo USB 3.0 data port support (so you are limited to USB 2.0). Once you put HDR into the mix, I doubt you can get 4K/75Hz with DP1.2.

                DP1.4 with DSC, with 2 lanes for display, can still achieve 4K/60Hz/8-bit, leaving 2 lanes for USB 3.0. Problem is, Apple insists that with USB-C/alt-mode/DP 1.4, in order to get 4K/60Hz with HDR, it wants 10-bit (at least for M1), meaning DP1.4 with DSC with 2 lanes is insufficient. While S2722QC supports DP 1.4/4-lanes all for Display mode, it means USB 2.0 for data.

                It's not an issue for 2K as DP 1.2 with 2 lanes is sufficient to handle 2K/60Hz (I am not sure about the HDR situation). However, it does mean M1/USB-C on 2K with S2722DC has to operate in DP 1.2 mode. Just guessing the display scaling issue might have something to do with DP 1.2.

                  Oh right, I've never used the USB ports on my monitors so the thought never crossed my mind. :)

                  Just guessing the display scaling issue might have something to do with DP 1.2.

                  Nah, Apple just decided not to allow HiDPI scaling on "lesser" monitors. That opensource app is a workaround that tricks the OS into enabling HiDPI. That shows it can be done, Apple just chooses not to allow it.

                  In any case I wouldn't say Dell cheaped out by using DP1.2 on a 1440p monitor, I'd say they didn't waste money on inconsequential upgrades.

                  • netsurfer on 22/03/2022 - 21:08

                    @eug: As expected, I tested my M1 on a 2K monitor (I don't have S2722DC so I used Apple official dongle and HDMI). Scaling works no issue whatsoever. Mac OS defaults to 1440p.

                    There is likely some compatibility issue with S2722DC so M1 requiring that opensource app hack. It's a common problem with USB-C monitors. You don't get 100% compatibilities with all USB-C devices. I have issues with S2722QC on one of my old Intel Macbook Pros. Interestingly, that one does not support DP 1.4. However, I do have Intel based systems only supporting DP 1.2 working fine with S2722QC.

                    USB-C is just a mess. It's just not as good as people think, especially when you have multiple devices based on different chipsets. Perhaps Apple really want people to go Thunderbolt displays, because the way Apple handles USB-C/alt-mode (more like Apple doesn't really care) is annoying.

                      It is not related to USB-C, it happens with HDMI as well. You can go through six pages on the Apple forums about it.

                      Someone reported it working with the $99 Apple USB-C to HDMI adaptor, someone replied to that post saying it didn't work for them. You might just be one of the lucky ones. :)

                      It's an issue that is unrelated to USB-C. It is simply Apple not allowing HiDPI to be used on lower-than-4K monitors.

                      • netsurfer on 23/03/2022 - 00:07

                        @eug: Well, that's Apple. Certain Intel Macbook Pros work better with USB-C than M1. 2017 and 2016 Macbook Pros are just horrible with S2722QC. Different versions of Mac OS can result in different behaviours for the same monitor too.

                        It's Apple's way or the high way.

                        It's an USB-C issue because, let's face it, it is a mess and one would think Apple would clean it up for M1, rather than mess up or not care about wide range of USB-C/Alt-mode support (Apple only cares about Thunderbolt). Or, we want to be honest and indicate it is a M1 GPU issue?

                        S2722DC - DP 1.2 only
                        S2722QC - Apple forcing you to go 10-bit for HDR for USB-C (but not required for native HDMI out), and let's face it 4K @ 27 inch and the "all so important" display scaling is just an excuse we used to sugarcoat our decision to get a 4K monitor. We are not using it at 4K native 1:1 mode (not at 27 inch). And, all these 150% display scaling is so amazing BS. If it is 200%, then I guess it makes sense. You cannot have 1.5 pixels so there will be some form of approximation.

                        1m cable and if you have a range of USB-C/Thunderbolt devices, then you need to deal with DP 1.2 vs DP 1.4 mess at 4K. And, looking forward, M2 or M3 might introduce DP 2.0. It's annoying that I had to buy 2 sets of dongles, including the expensive Apple dongles (since there are 2 versions so far, and will Apple release a newer version once it starts USB-C/alt-mode DP 2.0?

                        USB-PD 2.0 vs 3.0, USB-PD PDO vs PPS. USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 gen 1, gen 2, gen 2x2, USB 4 gen 3x1, USB 4 gen 3x2.

                          It's an USB-C issue because, let's face it, it is a mess and one would think Apple would clean it up for M1, rather than further abandon USB-C/Alt-mode support (since Apple only cares about Thunderbolt 3).

                          Mmm, this is going off-topic. :)

                          OP's issue was tiny icons on a 1440p monitor connected to an M1 Mac.
                          The cause of the issue is Apple not allowing people to use HiDPI scaling on non-4K monitors.

                          The USB-C connection isn't an issue - the DP signal reaches the monitor perfectly fine.

                          With regards to the USB version issue, I just plug a DisplayPort or HDMI cable into my PC and monitor and everything works fine. ;)

                          Also, HDR on a 350 cd/m² S2722QC seems quite pointless doesn't it?

                          • netsurfer on 23/03/2022 - 00:35

                            @eug: Well, I cannot re-produce the same issue on a different monitor.

                            The USB-C connection isn't an issue - the DP signal reaches the monitor perfectly fine.

                            I actually wrote USB-C monitors earlier on. When there is a compatibility issue with Dell S series monitors, we don't get any firmware update. My point of USB-C issue is that I am facing quite a lot of them as I have a range of USB-C devices. No, on some of the devices DP signal do NOT reach the monitor fine. Even for some M1 devices, reliability (try disconnect and reconnect the USB-C cable) is worse than HDMI native (and sometimes worse than USB-C with dongle to HDMI). Once again, it's different for everyone (dependent on devices).

                            OP did hype up S2722QC, which I disagree. S2722QC also has issues.

                            These 2 USB-C monitors: 2K might have scaling issue, 4K has reliability issue. If you are an early Macbook Pro USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 adaptor, you will not be happy with S2722QC (no display out of USB-C 80% of the time and you have to keep changing port each time, dongle is the only option). But, I guess we are going to hear that it just works for your devices.

                            These monitors do not have a dedicated DisplayPort so if you go HDMI only to preserve the USB-C speed, you lose VRR on PC. Then, it is also silly that you essentially get 2 lanes at low speed (considered the USB-C cable included is actually an USB 3.2 gen 2 cable). You want connect to a DisplayPort on a PC with one of these monitors, you need to get a special DisplayPort to USB-C cable (we don't have that many choices here, most cables go the other direction).

                            Yes, fake HDR is pointless, but it is just silly to allow HDMI to go one mode but forces USB-C/alt-mode to go for another mode. It is so "amazing" from Apple that if you changed from USB-C/DP 1.4 to HDMI, the display mode changes.

                            Yes, DisplayPort or HDMI makes more sense. We get these USB-C monitors because we cannot afford Thunderbolt 3 ones, but deep down, the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3/4, USB-C gen 2x2, or USB-C/USB 4 is no longer sufficient once we move to 4K or above.

      Each to their own I guess, every time I try 1440p I find the drop in text sharpness from 4K off-putting

      • eug on 22/03/2022 - 11:06

        I run the 2722DC at 100% scaling next to a 32" 4K at 150% scaling and from my 0.9m viewing distance they look as sharp as each other to me. Of course if I go closer I'll see the difference, but from where I'm sitting it looks fine.

      • netsurfer on 22/03/2022 - 16:51

        You are actually referring to the text anti-aliasing 4K monitors provide when you do display scaling of 150%. I doubt you will find a 4K monitor text at 27 inch at 1:1 / 100% scaling that comfortable to read.

      What about 2x 32" 1440p monitors, I'm running them and it's a pretty good immersive setup (2x S3220DGF). The display is essentially the same 5120 x 1440 but overall bigger I guess. I don't do that much gaming using both as the bezel is in the way. The single 49" would be better.

    The 32inch ips 165hz model (G3223D) seems like the next logical upgrade from a 27dgf

    Am I wrong?

    • yacman on 22/03/2022 - 08:43

      I think your right but I’ve only been looking recently so there are others that can give a better answer.

      Even if it is I see most people say that 1440p res on 32 doesn’t scale as well and you can see the pixels.

      If that true, people with experience please tell? Then it looks like the G3223Q is the next real step, QHD and still 144hz with HDMI 2.1.

      Some people complain the USB-C capabilities are lacking but I’m yet to see any gaming monitor that can do QHD at 144hz and charge a laptop all at the same time? So I just don’t think the tech is there yet.

      Does the G3223Q support G-Sync though? It’s all over the G3223D but not mentioned on the G3223Q?

        32" @ 1440p was fine for me. I came off a 27" 4K monitor and the difference was obvious until a month later when I got used to it.

      • fruitloafer on 23/03/2022 - 10:47

        Yeah I don't think it is g-sync certified. I am interested in this also but there is no mention of gsync at all.

        Having said that, it should work with nvidia graphic cards which are 2x series or higher as they support Freesync.

      • fruitloafer on 30/03/2022 - 23:08

        I can confirm now that my monitor has arrived that it supports G-Sync without any issues

      I wouldn't stray from monitors from Dell, have had terrible after-sales experience with them for an XPS laptop with pro level warranty. Shipped with barely-functional keyboard and USB ports. Had to get ACCC and Fair Trade involved and threatened small claims court to get them to fix/replace it.

      If your work/studies depends on the reliability, it's not worth the hassle and a year of down time..

      • eug on 22/03/2022 - 13:59

        There will always be terrible after-sales experiences with any company. Have a look at Whirlpool, people have had to get Fair Trading involved even with Apple who are known for good customer service.

          Whataboutism.

          Do what you want with your money, Apple offers something different from the competition, Dell doesn't meaningfully differentiate from HP/Lenovo/Asus/etc, so after-sales support is a bigger factor for me. Just sharing my experiences.

            @xrailgun:

            Whataboutism

            If I said I have not had any negative customer experiences with Dell (which I haven't), and you reply saying "whatabout my negative customer experience?", is that whataboutism? Or are we just sharing our experiences or writing comments, which is what a forum is for?

            You are suggesting that OP keeps away from Dell because you had a bad experience with them. You also stated that Dell laptops are unreliable and take one year to replace.

            If OP followed your reasoning to avoid a brand (i.e. there has been a negative customer experience), OP would not be able to purchase any laptop.

            If your statement that Dell laptops cannot be relied upon for work or studies as it will fail prematurely and may take a year to repair is accurate, there are plenty of IT departments worldwide who purchase Dell laptops in the thousands that may disagree with you.

            The point is, your one negative customer service experience doesn't necessarily mean every single person will also have the same negative customer service experience that you had. People tend to only mention their negative experiences online, so if you did a search you will find more negative comments than positive or neutral.

            Your comment about your experience is absolutely valid, but perspective is important. I was just providing some perspective with my reply.

    If I’m not in a rush for a new gaming monitor can anyone advise if now is the time to get a 32” G3223Q?

    Are there other options in the 32” QHD 144 or more hz space?

    Or should I wait to see what new models or cheaper prices will be out there in the future? (I can probably wait around 8 months before I really need to update).

      "If I’m not in a rush for a new gaming monitor can anyone advise if now is the time to get a 32” G3223Q?"

      If you aren't in a rush, maybe wait for the next 20% Dell ebay deal so that plenty of reviews will come out, Dell deals regularly come back each month. Ofc there is a chance they will raise the price in the next deal (or lower, but 99% won't happen for a new product), like the Dell S2721DGF from 399$ last year to 448$ tmr. But extra ~ 20$ is not bad given that you have full reviews for the monitor. Personally I will grab it tmr because I trust Dell and I'm poor lel, but seriously for other people it's better to wait.

      "Are there other options in the 32” QHD 144 or more hz space? Or should I wait to see what new models or cheaper prices will be out there in the future? (I can probably wait around 8 months before I really need to update)."

      We are talking about the cheapest segment of 32'' QHD 144hz here, i.e ~1000 AUD, so I don't think price will be cheaper in the near future like 8 months you mentioned. You can wait to see deals like this come again, but I don't think new models will be any much different, high chance they will use similar panels and tweak the settings a bit. Right now I only see this model and the gigabyte M32U can be at 1k without discount (and lower without discount).

      • yacman on 22/03/2022 - 20:25

        Thanks for your thoughts, I might hold off for reviews then jump on this a bit earlier, would love for you to reply to this post or PM me your thoughts once you get the monitor if it’s not too much to ask.

        Main reason I got the idea about new models coming out that could be better is due to the last post of this monitor, someone said there would be better new models coming to the market soon, but your right, if they are better they probably won’t be sub 1K.

        Would this be considered the 32” QHD version of the 27DGF? Or are there other differences?

        Such as a lack of G-Sync, I don’t see it nominated on the eBay listing anywhere?

          Tbh the only thing in similar between G3223Q and s2721dgf is the monitor type aka "fast IPS gaming monitor". Different size, different resolution, different peak Hz (well DP 1.4 can only handle 4k 144Hz now, so more Hz than that is meaningless). The name of these two are also quite different, I would say s2421hgf and s2721dgf are more a couple than s2721dgf and g3223q. If you ask this question to expect this 32 inch monitor will perform similar like the s2721dgf then I don't believe so. Because even the same monitor but different generations like Viewsonic vx2758 vs vx2705 (the one Hardware unboxed review, as Viewsonic naming kinda sucks) can be quite different. The vx2758 older but better, the vx2705 is the newer version but they mess up the overdrive settings.

          About G-sync thing, I believe 90% this monitor will be G-sync compatible. The thing with a monitor described as "G-sync compatible" in the label is that it has to be tested directly by Nvidia, and they verify that the monitor is good to go. Therefore many monitors don't have the official label cause Nvidia haven't checked them, but they still work fine with G-sync (notably AOC 24G2, the budget king in the 24' IPS gaming monitor segment). After all green team GPU is pretty dominant in the market right now so it's hard to believe that Dell will introduce a gaming monitor without G-sync compatible in 2022.

          • yacman on 23/03/2022 - 08:55

            @Masticccc: Thanks! That was really helpful.

            So even though this isn’t a 32” version of the s27DGF, the 27DGF is regarded as the best quality gaming monitor for the price by many on ozbargain.

            Could you atleast say the G2332Q (reviews pending) will be considered the best 32” quality gaming monitor in the sub $1K price range?

            Higher res than the 27DGF, if anything the 32” seems to be high spec besides the 165hz feature which isn”t really a big deal anyway from what your saying about DP being maxed out at 144hz anyway.

              @yacman: In the sub 1k range right now for 32 inch IPS 4K 144Hz, there is only Dell G3223Q right now lol (discounted price anyways). Since the M32U is 1059$ cheapest without discount, basically it's a competition between these two.

              https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/4f971fda…

              M32U:
              - Better connectivity (USB C upstream available), 3 USB downstream
              - KVM (depends on user need, for me it's very convenient)
              - Built-in audio speakers (as usual a shitty one, but for a person using a 400$ monitor with a 30$ speakers like me it's a plus)

              G3223Q:
              - Better brightness (600cd/m vs 450 cd/m peak)
              - Better HDR (HDR 600 vs 400)

              The G3223Q doesn't have any in-depth review on Youtube yet, so there could be better (or worse) features. People mostly care about HDMI 2.1 (full-bandwidth or half-bandwidth like M32U) and the actual override mode performance (as usual 1ms response time is meaningless when ghosting is too much). For me, if they are at the same price I will go with M32U cause I like KVM/built-in speakers a lot; I also don't care much about brightness (usually use 30% brightness on M28Q right now) or HDR (seriously HDR400 isn't that bad compares to HDR 600).

              • yacman on 23/03/2022 - 20:41

                @Masticccc: Thanks for the thoughts, the Dell seems like the better choice for me but I’ll wait for some reviews and user feedback on here.

                I have seen some negative things about the performance of the KVM on YouTube with the m32U. I’m not very familiar with KVM but apparently it does not perform as a full KVM and more of a hybrid, look into it a bit more if you haven’t already.

                • Masticccc on 23/03/2022 - 21:07

                  @yacman: Currently I'm using Gigabyte M28Q, the KVM feature works fine to me (maybe because I use it in a very basic way). That is also the main reason why I decide to buy the Dell, cause there is no point for 2 KVM monitors for me right now. The M28Q will be my secondary monitor after the Dell arrive.

    Hey guys,

    Hopefully someone can help me! I have 2 S2721QS’s connected to a M1 Mac mini and it works perfectly. I see that the new S2722QC is pretty much identical but has USB-C in replacement of DisplayPort. I do not need power delivery via USB-C like i may if i were docking a MacBook to the monitors, so there are no real benefits to me getting a S2722QC right?

    Thanks :)

      Seems the price of this has risen substantially! Looking at Ozbargain this has been $140-150 in the past, so $199 even with discount is not too impressive.

      Have monitor prices jumped a great deal lately??
