        More so the scaling from 1080p to 1440p isn't integer

    • FireRunner on 03/03/2023 - 14:08
      +10

      I have, it doesn't look great. Pretty much all 1440p monitors butcher a 1080p signal. A 1080p pixel needs to fit into a 1.5 x 1.5 block at 1440p and since there's no such thing as a half pixel, some scaling and interpolation has to happen which results in blurry images
      4K monitors scale much more nicely since a 1080p pixel scales into a 2x2 pixel block at 2160p

      • ssfps on 03/03/2023 - 19:38

        If you can set a switch to 720p it would probably look better, unless the monitor has really good upscaling.

      I've used this monitor with Switch and it does 1080p surprisingly well. I actually prefer it over a 1080p monitor because they can look a bit pixelly at 27" or above, whereas you can't see the pixels as much at 27" 1440p even if a 1080p image isn't as clear as a 1440p image. You will have to change the overdrive settings at 60Hz to eliminate any overshoot (super fast for 165Hz, fast for 60Hz).

    • freefall79 on 04/03/2023 - 18:12

      Not this monitor specifically, but I used my switch with another 1440p 27in and it looked noticeably worse (soft) than a 1080p monitor.

  • Bread Pitt on 03/03/2023 - 13:57

    Is this worth it for an Xbox Series X or should I go for something with HDR10 and anything else I might be missing? Currently stuck with a 1080p 60hz monitor.

    • Yuri Lowell on 03/03/2023 - 14:16
      +5

      It's great with Series X. It can do 1440p, 120Hz and FreeSync. The HDR is complete garbage though, so I wouldn't use that. If you want a HDR capable monitor you will need to pay a lot more, and then I'd recommend grabbing an OLED TV like the 43" LG C2.

            @King Steuart: my thoughts exactly!

            I got a new TV with the right specs (after checking RTINGS) - low response time, low input lag, 4k/120hz/automatic variable refresh rate - just because I got a Series X

            • King Steuart on 03/03/2023 - 17:50

              @shabaka: It's also funny because the guy was asking for advice and you give the actual proper advice that a 4k device deserves a 4k tv and people downvote in 2023. That ozbargain for you, though.

                +2

                @King Steuart: Probably a couple of reasons for the downvotes:

                1. Extra cost and
                2. Hardly any difference for a 27” monitor (some would rather sit at a desk and play on a 27” rather than sit in a couch and play on a 60”+ TV)
                • shabaka on 04/03/2023 - 16:27

                  @ShortyX: hmmm then they probably won't get Series X, and go for Series S instead.

                  same reasons: extra cost, and you won't notice any difference gaming on a 1440p monitor on Series S vs Series X

                  the guy asked the question if this is a good fit for Series X, and to reap full benefits of Series X you need a 4k/120hz/VRR screen, and that's the correct answer.

                  • ShortyX on 04/03/2023 - 23:33

                    @shabaka:

                    hmmm then they probably won't get Series X, and go for Series S instead.

                    Seems like they already have an Xbox Series X - maybe they bought it for the extra storage space or physical disc drive. Or maybe they bought it for the frame rates… see next comment.

                    you won't notice any difference gaming on a 1440p monitor on Series S vs Series X

                    The difference can be noticeable, dependent on the fps. Some games on Series S won't output 120 fps at 1440p, whereas the Series X can.

                    to reap full benefits of Series X you need a 4k/120hz/VRR screen

                    Agreed. But 4K for 27" may be overkill (with a significant bump in cost).

                    • shabaka on 05/03/2023 - 13:37

                      @ShortyX: yeah, true.

                      but Series X is so awesome on 4k/120hz that I sold my gaming laptop and not looking back

                      I reckon everyone should be able to get the full benefits of Series X, after all it's easy to get good TV's that can do that for you

                      nothing beats a 65" 4k Series X gaming setup (or PS5 for that matter), and I got my 65" TV for ~$950. that's not a lot of money for so much gaming fun, when you can see every pixel that is being pushed out.

                      but yeah fine, I guess if you're not into TV setup, choose any monitor that works for you, I got 4k 27" Dell for $329 but that is just for productivity, no high refresh rates.

                      • ShortyX on 05/03/2023 - 17:06

                        @shabaka: Not looking for a new TV, but which one did you get?

                        • shabaka on 05/03/2023 - 18:25

                          @ShortyX: Samsung Frame 2021. there were crazy discounts recently, and this is one of the cheapest of the awesome TV's for gaming. VA panel, very low input lag, very quick response time, full array of HDMI 2.1 features.

                          it all depends on setup, if the room is always dark you can grab one of the cheaper (but still great) OLED options (Sony A80J, LG CS). they don't go very bright, but they have blackest blacks, no blooming around highlights, you are looking at $1400 for 55" at the moment

                          for my use case, when TV is mostly used in bright daylight, QLED is best option within my budget, and 65" for this price was a steal.

      HDR10 just means it can accept a HDR signal, doesn't speak to the capabilities of the panel (or in the case of LCD, the panel and the backlight).

      At this size it's perfect for my Series X, if you wanted a monitor any bigger I'd probably be looking at 4K@120hz, but you'll be looking at an extra $400 at minimum more than likely for 28/32"

      Hi FBI,

      I have one of these monitors and while it's been great for desktop applications (I find the dell has really great ergonomics and controls, and high refresh is still nice for office use) my feeling is that it's better as a mixed use gaming/office monitor.

      I think if you are strictly using it for office application you may get better bang for buck more affordable (60hz / 1440p) or instead investing the money into a 4k screen @ 60hz.

      Dell makes a comparable product in terms of features and ergonomics etc but in a 4k/60hz version, you will get better text clarity, colour accuracy, and viewing angles vs this monitor which is better for gaming feedback :)

      https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/dell-s2721dgf-v…

        but in a 4k/60hz version, you will get better text clarity, colour accuracy, and viewing angles vs this monitor which is better for gaming

        Sorry but I disagree with your analysis. Assuming both monitors are 27", if you are sitting 79cm from the monitor you will not notice a difference in text clarity (according to benq's best viewing distance charts). Sure, 4k allows you to dit a bit closer, but why would you want to sit so close to a monitor? Colour accuracy does not depend on resolution whatsoever. While this panel isn't known to be accurate, there's not going to be an accurate panel at this price point. Which honestly doesn't matter unless you need a reference panel. And viewing angles on this panel are 178 degrees, which is the highest of the three standard monitor types.
        Conclusion: for only desktop use 1440p/4k at 27" is much the same. It is best to weight up the other features and prices of the monitors.
        Personal opinion: high refresh rate feels amazing, even just in desktop and browser use. If you do a lot of scrolling, consider trialing a high refresh rate (120hz+) monitor and scroll around in a word document or browser.

        • axthursby on 04/03/2023 - 09:08

          Well, it's not really my analysis if I'm being honest. And the comments I made about colour accuracy, viewing angles etc are specifically directed at Dell's sibling product and analysis of rtings.com who IMO have a pretty objective approach to reviewing panels.

          https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/dell-s2721dgf-v…

          I agree that using high refresh rate is nice for desktop applications, I would still opt for a 4k panel for things like watching videos and having a better image.

          • [Deactivated] on 04/03/2023 - 09:49

            @axthursby: If your explanation is based on rtings explanation, then the issue is with judging text clarity based on such a zoom, when it won't be perceived at a reasonable viewing distance.

            The s2721dgf scored higher in colour accuracy when calibrated (which if youre doing any colour work you will obviously be calibrating). The initial colour score also seems surprisingly low. A lot of the other things like black uniformity vary so greatly from panel to panel that it seems almost dangerous for them to include such a result with only a single sample.

            No comment on vertical viewing angle, but the s2721dgf has superior horizontal viewing angles according to their testing, so to say one has better viewing angles is only a half truth.

      for work specifically, the other, cheaper Del 27" QHD monitors are better value. This is a gaming monitor, so it has a bunch of features you won't need.

      Just a FYI, I do use these fine with a Mac however I believe there's some colour accuracy profile issues. For just desktop duties, it's fine however production I think you need to be careful. I believe it's something to do with sRGB/YPBPR.

      Just another heads up for the mac, to get adaptive refresh rates, you MUST be on the DisplayPort, which can be a problem given there's only one DP in.

      Honestly, it's fine and I just use HDMI @ 120hz for Mac desktop. My PC's on the DP for actual gaming/Adaptive Sync.

          For office use only 144hz is a bit overkill.

          If you're swapping between machines a kvm switch might be an advantage, or if one is a laptop usb c with pd would be another advantage.

            @snep: Totally wrong, 60hz is basically unusable for office use. Too choppy! You want a fast monitor that's smooth for office work.

          Yeh, it's totally fine for this use. Once you've desktop'd on high refresh rates, I can't go back to 60/75 hz haha.

            @spite: Well, there's nothing wrong with using high refresh for office work either. I also like the smoothness! But I wouldn't necessarily be recommending to spend the extra for it, especially if there are other, potentially more relevant features to OP's requirements on other monitors (like kvm/type c that I mentioned).

        Why not use 144hz with HDMI?

        • spite on 03/03/2023 - 16:41

          I just prefer to use the PC's with as little noise as possible. I can't see the diff between 120/144 but I can hear the diff when the GPU fans wanna spin up (using an eGPU) :D

          • djevoultion on 03/03/2023 - 16:48

            @spite: Roger that. I’m using a base Mac mini m2 with this monitor set to 144hz on hdmi and it’s silent

            • spite on 03/03/2023 - 19:59

              @djevoultion: Yeh Mac GPU's are crazy efficient & silent! :) Works fine for sure! I am just sad Apple won't give us VRR on the HDMI port :(
