Cheaper than the last deal posted on 22/10/2018 for $561.74.

This monitor was released in Q4 of 2018. It is the successor to the highly acclaimed S2716DG which was equipped with G-Sync. Although this has a TN panel, reviews claim that with some calibration, you can get it looking close to an entry-level IPS panel. Take this with a grain of salt.

Based on early reports (e.g. here, here, here, here), Nvidia GPU support is great; so this is looking like a VERY appealing monitor.

        This monitor is only 155hz over clocked afaik with a native 144hz and there are quite a few IPS monitors that are sold as 165hz OC.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/01/2019 - 14:03

      I use an ultrasharp and I am utterly shocked with how comparable my partners relatively cheap, and far more modern, TN panel is. The difference is far smaller than it was 5-10 years ago, when it was a gaping chasm in quality.

            @Heero: Wow. Are you saying NVidia will be supporting Freesync as well? I am sure it wont work.
            I read in a forum recently after release or new AMD cards from Nvidia that FreeSync does not work properly.
            People using it on their monitors with AMD cards might confirm.

              @EnALup: nVidia cards now support freesync on 10 series and 20 series cards as of the latest driver release on 15 Jan. Was a big announcement made during CES.

              However, given the varying degrees of quality between freesync panels, your mileage may vary on how well it works (which is no different from when you have an AMD card).

              @EnALup: with the new freesync-enabled driver, G-sync is now enabled for my 1060 + Asus MG278Q (Freesync) setup.

            @Heero: True that.

            AMD are supposed to be releasing new GPUs mid way this year, if the AMD cards are good, Nvidia might finally have some competition and bring their card prices down. With Freesync supported by both sides, I can choose whatever side is better value.

    • EnALup on 18/01/2019 - 10:45

      Isn't this a better option compared to Dell?

      • Subada on 18/01/2019 - 11:43
        +3

        Depends, if you value high contrast and better colours and don't care about ghosting during fast paced games then yes the samsung is better. VA panels like the Samsung have usually have fairly poor pixel response times for black to black transitions. This leads to "ghosting" or a blur/smearing effect for fast moving objects on screen especially with dark scenes. Overdrive is a technology that many monitors have to counteract this, however for most monitors overdrive doesn't work consistently with freesync as it usually is only works for a certain refresh rate. Gsync monitors notably do not have this problem as they support overdrive for all possible refresh rates.

        I'm not really sure how legit it is but this video purports to show ghosting at 60Hz with freesync on for the samsung 27" monitor

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddZkSLG_oNM

        The dell monitor on the other hand is a TN monitor which tend to have much better pixel response times regardless of overdrive at the expense of poorer colour and contrast.

        • Xizor on 18/01/2019 - 15:13

          Ironic as it may sound the reviews seem to indicate colour accuracy of the Dell is remarkably good. However everything i read did say wished for higher contrast to make things pop more. In any case I am tempted by this, ive been using a Samsung LU28E590DS/XY 28" UHD for quite sometime now which is TN panel anyway (using an older IPS before) and its good for most things. Tempted by this higher hz business though for gaming since im stuck at 60hz

          • Subada on 18/01/2019 - 15:16

            @Xizor: I'm in the exact same position as you lol. Was hoping for a 27" 1440p IPS monitor with freesync but I'm slowly coming around to just buying a decent TN screen since I really care about refresh rate and no blurring rather than colour accuracy.

        That's up to you. Everyone's looking for the perfect monitor but regardless of whichever one you choose, you'll be making a compromise somewhere.

        In the case of the Samsung, you'll need to get used to having a curved display, and would probably need to buy a VESA mount if you don't have the desk space to accommodate the stand that comes with it.

        VA panels have their downsides, too, but every existing technology does.

          Oh yeah, that stand is bloody deep, luckily I have a big desk.

        Love it. I have it side by side with a $300 Phillips 31" IPS panel, and the Samsung kills it.

        Watching some HDR test videos on Youtube, it is clear that that high colour VA panel has much better reproduction than the cheap IPS panel. Colours are not only more vibrant, but IMO more accurate.

  • BuddhaBoy on 18/01/2019 - 11:15

    Hi guys, i am looking for a monitor for video and photo editing. Will this be a good monitor for that?

    I am not pro but do use the editing for youtube videos (real estate and travel videos) and adobe illustrator for photos.

    I'll connect the monitor to my 2018 macbook pro 15inch.

    If not this, any other recommendations?

    Thanks

    • lysp on 18/01/2019 - 11:32

      Generally you want an IPS monitor for photo/graphic work - the colour reproduction and viewing angles are better on IPS, where they can be less consistent on other panel technology.

      • BuddhaBoy on 18/01/2019 - 13:04

        Thank you. IPS panel it is then.

        Any recommendations?

        • Xizor on 18/01/2019 - 15:15

          Not quite accurate advice. Read reviews, this monitor actually has good colour re-production. What it lacks is some contrast and viewing angles.

      For productivity/creativity uses I would go something like this. Doesn't have high refresh rates, but does have HDR, 100% sRGB ratings and it's a IPS panel, https://www.umart.com.au/Asus-PA27AC-ProArt-27--WQHD-IPS-HDR…

      • BuddhaBoy on 18/01/2019 - 13:06

          Hmmm, well the LG and Benq are both 4k panels, whereas the ASUS is 2k, personal preference on that, I'm not a fan of 4K, everything is so small.

          All do 100% sRGB. The ASUS is only 8-bit HDR, other two are 10-bit, which I'd take. ASUS has higher brightness.

          They all have their ups and downs.

          End of the day, all 3 are monitors geared towards designers. All will work well for you. Take your

      you probably want a monitor that has USB C input and IPS display. Start from there.

    • Subada on 18/01/2019 - 11:54

      This monitor is basically exclusively targeted at gaming. If you're not going to be doing that then don't bother buying anything with freesync/gsync as those features come with a markup and do nothing for non-gaming applications.

      As others have said look for an IPS monitor. Furthermore I'd recommend >27" for good productivity and at least 1440p. Based on benchmarks for the macbook don't bother getting anything with a higher refresh rate that 60hz as the macbook won't get much higher than that frame rate unless you're playing very light games like counter strike or league of legends.

      • BuddhaBoy on 18/01/2019 - 13:05

        Thank you. Makes sense to stick to 60hz. I dont play games at all so no issues with the frame rates.

        Any recommendations between these two?

      Alienware is 1080p vs the Dell which is 1440p, which means the Dell has 1.77X the viewing area / density of pixels.
      The Alienware is 240hz though so can display 240 frames per second (if your graphics card can support it) The Dell is 155 frames per second.

      So if just gaming and you want the quickest/smoothest the Alienware is a good option even though it's smaller and lower resolution.

      If you game but also do a lot of web browsing, desktop stuff etc the Dell is probably a better option.

      It's a decent price given the specs. Reviewers aren't fond of its blue-plastic aesthetic, however, and HP had their OMEN 17-an141tx for $1300 with those same specs except it looks like a kid's toy.

      EDIT: it's out of stock.

  • ChadHominem on 19/01/2019 - 16:03

    Are there downsides to having refresh rates that aren't multiples of 3? I just noticed that the majority seem to be 60, 75, 90, 120, 144 etc.

    • Boward Woward on 19/01/2019 - 21:11

      No, the refresh rate is literally a measure of how many times a monitor refreshes an image on its screen. Each monitor has a tolerance, many monitors can be overclocked. Two of the same monitor may have different thresholds (before artifacts start appearing or the monitor poops itself), e.g. one 60Hz monitor might overclock to 76Hz, another might overclock to 78Hz. I guess the panel manufacturer sets a safe refresh rate.

      In saying this, I think the S2719DGF is a 144Hz monitor, but overclockable to 155Hz via the on screen display.

    • Heero on 20/01/2019 - 09:58

      I suspect that the monitors aren't even in the country yet and they're taking preorders. Not all that surprising since this is a new model which had only been announced late August of last year.

  • Heero on 20/01/2019 - 10:08

    Heads up to anyone whom intends to pair this monitor up with their NVIDIA 10 / 20 series GPU: FreeSync won't work over HDMI, and so you'll need to purchase a DisplayPort cable separately as the monitor won't come with one already in the box. Be wary of buying a cheap DisplayPort cable, though, as some might have the 20th pin still connected which can damage your hardware.

    Dell sell certified DisplayPort cables on their website here.

        Apart from colour accuracy, I hope the viewing angles are good enough for two people doing some photoshop or reviewing images together.
