I track Dell pricing for TechRadar and this week the Alienware AW2723DF has dropped to $449.90 from $499.40, and was $599.50 a month ago. With 11% off, (+ Dell rounding) it’s $399.41 with free shipping, which is the lowest it has been by far.

I have searched around and I can’t find a deal that’s anywhere near this good for a G-Sync compatible fast IPS panel with low input lag, decent brightness and 100% sRGB colour.

    Just as an example, Samsung G6 QHD 240Hz VA refurbs and clearance sales can still be found around this price (before Samsung or eBay discounts), and present motion better overall with vastly improved contrast.

    I would hold out for a better execution of a panel than the deal post, but I think you'll find all QHD 240Hz IPS are likely to perform this way for the foreseeable future and would perhaps wait for OLED of similar spec to come down in price to say $450-$500 on sale, or start to climb to >360Hz options if you can't find something that performs like the Samsung G6 VA in that $300-$350 price range.

      An OLED for $500 would be a killer deal, I have a 34" UW 1440p monitor that is great for what I use it for but after getting an OLED TV, I want an OLED Monitor too.

      • Honestly the caveat with OLED is that it's so fast it's going to hold the image for longer, so motion compensation becomes super important to decrease perceived blur.

        240Hz definitely looks sharper overall, but if there's going to be $800ish 480-540Hz OLED sale options this year, you definitely should explore those.

    • Yeah the Samsung Odyssey G65D S32BG65D is a great monitor, even refurbed – do you have a link to the deal post for it at that price, as I am not turning up anything?

      • Nah no deal my bro, I wish. I was just responding back to his comment saying at the $450-500 mark.

      • Was meaning to refer to the 27" model at that price, but nothing current that isn't a low-quantity factory second sold via a third party.

        The G65D is also a Best Buy exclusive in the US, but I picked its up-to-date RTings data because it largely reflects the G65's performance once updated with the latest firmware.

        • Yeah I just meant things like deals history such as ones posted previously here on OzBargain.

          G65B for that price is decent if it comes up if new or a quality refurb. But personally I'd go the Dell as I would want it to do double duty as an everyday monitor and 1000R curve on the Samsung is a bit much for my taste when not gaming.

          • @Prong: It's not a consistent 1000R, I think that's more of a peak measurement… it's barely different from flat compared to older curved monitors. Just enough to minimise horizontal viewing angle issues with the VA panel (gamma shift and black level raise).

            If you're looking for something more consistent for colour work, then yes you're right, but you'd also want to properly calibrate the Dell monitor as colours are a little cool out of the box according to RTings.

            • @jasswolf: 1000R is the curvature, so a constant, not a peak. 1000R means it's an arc of a circle with a radius of 1000 mm.

              I wouldn't go under 1500R on a 27" unless only using it for gaming.

              • @Prong: I understand what the radius measurement is, and that the impact is different on a smaller monitor as it would be using less of the circumference in practice.

                I own a 27" G6, it is not a consistent curve at all, and is less dramatic than 27" 1500R monitors I have used in the past, so I believe the curvature measurement is at the centre, where the curvature peaks briefly.

                The back of the monitor chassis also has a very exaggerated curvature which gives people an impression of this massive curve as well, but it's simply not there with the panel. The matte finish probably helps as well so you don't notice the reflective glare, but this is definitely not a true 1000R curvature in practice.

                EDIT: Took a look at some top down shots, the 1000R curvature seems to refer to the back of the chassis (excluding where it bulbs out at the stand), but the panel itself does not match that curvature. Seems somewhere between 1500R and 1800R, leaning more towards the former.

                  @jasswolf: I see a high angle front (so mostly top down) pic. There's a little bit of error due to the angle but measuring it closely matches 1000R with constant radius. On the same pic the rear casing curve is about 570R.

                  Within the margin of error there may be a slightly about of variance in the curve and thus the 1000R is an average but it's close to a pure 1000R that it doesn't change things.

                  It not looking like a constant curve is a bit of a optical illusion. Quick and dirty pic.

                  • @Prong: Fair enough, guess it's just the matte coating making it less dramatic!

  • What is it with all the 27inch deals? Wouldn’t you rather have a 32?

    • +1

      I definitely would! And when Dell discounts them, I will post any deals.

      • Thanks, will be waiting!

  • Anyone know of a 32-34" OLED 2560x1440p afaik they don't exist right? It's either Ultra wide or 4k?

    • A 32" QHD monitor is usually seen as an entry level/budget choice because of the big visible pixels, so that's usually not where the manufacturers are investing in OLED. Most users prefer something with a higher ppi, hence the popularity of 27" QHD OLEDs.
