          If it is not for gaming (and with Intel integrated graphics, you cannot really do serious gaming anyway), you might be better off with USB-C to HDMI converter or cable - as they are easier to find / cheaper.

        • netsurfer on 02/08/2020 - 15:52
          +1

          If you want to fully benefit from it, you need USB-C to HDMI 2.0 converter / cable.
          USB-C to DisplayPort is probably safer, but may cost more.

          • braoooo on 02/08/2020 - 15:57

            @netsurfer: thanks for the advice, really appreciate it!

          • braoooo on 02/08/2020 - 15:59

            @netsurfer: i just did a quick search, is there any material difference b/w a converter vs a cable?

            • braoooo on 02/08/2020 - 16:06

              @braoooo: so i just checked it out on ebay and i came across this adapter

              https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Type-C-USB-C-to-HDMI-DVI-VGA-USB…

              It says the following:
              * Type C to HDMI VGA Adapter Supports video resolution up to 4K 30HZ. when use HDMI alone, It support a large screen liquid crystal TV or display compatible with 4K(3840 * 2160P / 30Hz) max output.

              Should i not get this, because it only supports up to 30Hz? So the monitor will essentially not be used to its full potential? is that how it works haha

              • netsurfer on 02/08/2020 - 17:34

                @braoooo: For USB-C, it can be tricky / messy.

                First, need to know your CPU (in order to work out the embedded GPU). In order to benefit from 1440p@140Hz, your GPU needs to support that. It's likely the embedded GPU can only do 1440p@120Hz max (but that's actually okay as most media is 30 or 60 so 120 is good in a way).

                The 4K specs isn't very useful here. 4K 60Hz (no HDR) is essentially HDMI 2.0, which has enough bandwidth to drive 1440p@140Hz. From what you mentioned so far, I am guessing your laptop isn't the latest model and I'm going to guess HDR support probably isn't provided by Intel.

                Last, but not least, is converter vs cable. What matters is the quality. Some cheap ones would interfere with some 2.4 GHz WiFi network. I don't know if 4K/30Hz will work with 1440p@120+Hz. However, I would go for a 4K 60Hz one to be on the safe side.

    This is similar specs to the 27GL850 but $150 cheaper.

    What's the catch?

    • netsurfer on 02/08/2020 - 14:27

      Probably a different panel (AUO probably - not confirmed) though the Dell specs seem better.

      • gentlekoala5906 on 02/08/2020 - 15:18

        It's an LG Nano IPS panel, same as the one in 27GL850

        • netsurfer on 02/08/2020 - 17:41

          So did LG purposely quoted a lower spec or Dell provided the wrong specs?

          The panel dimension, refresh rate range, brightness and contrast ratio are all different.

    • MiscOzB on 02/08/2020 - 14:30

      More like $250 cheaper right now. Uses the same panel as the LG apparently.

    • HeyHeyHeyIsItADeal on 02/08/2020 - 14:46

      That LG monitor runs about $800 right now with most stores out of stock so no dice on ever getting it for $750 unless this corona thing is done.

      It uses the same panel same ergo just different look. Both are freesync. The catch is if you use a display port cable this can go up to 165hz.

      It seems like nothing is adding up though. Its expensive in other countries. This monitor was added 3 days ago at the price of 1.2k then reduced to 629 and stacking up discount codes. I hope the orders dont get cancelled tomorrow.

      It's a literally too good to be true deal.

      • gentlekoala5906 on 02/08/2020 - 15:22

              @gentlekoala5906: If you bought it this morning, you only got confirmation that it tracked. It is not confirmation that it was paid out. It will likely change to declined on cashrewards within a week or 2 as that is what happened with my purchased 1 month ago.

      Lmao that one has the GSYNC module. Idk why you would want to get something thats gsync compatible if it doesnt improve your experience in anyway. I've actually had that monitor as well but ftc told me to wait when i returned the item waiting for an exchange instead of giving me one of the items they have instock. Shitty seller but dam did I love the ACTUAL gsync and not just gsync compatible. That monitor til this day still holds its name.

    • cille745 on 02/08/2020 - 20:49

      This is a downgrade if you have an Nvidia card. Gsync module is always better than gsync compatible, and because it's brand new we don't know anything about the overdrive or anything for that matter.

      I reckon once everyone's got theres there will be a bunch of people complaining about flickering when trying to use gsync

    • SomeRandom on 02/08/2020 - 21:10

      Aaah… I see.
      "G-Sync Compatible" is a poor imitation of actual G-Sync.

      I hadn't realised that, was wondering how this monitor could possibly be so cheap.

      Thanks All.

    • runean on 03/08/2020 - 05:15

      I'm in the same boat, and I bought this. I'm going to compare them and likely try and sell my Acer, as I gain nothing from the GSync module frankly, and this is a better panel generally.

      Worst case, this one will easily sell for $500.

    Why are there no reviews for this product? When can we expect reviews?

    How would you compare it to ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD for $470 that i have been looking at?

    Is it really using the same IPS LG27GL850 panel? If it is, then why is this so much cheaper?

    I originally planned to get a new monitor around Christmas time. Do you think we'll see another sale on this product by then or is this the best bet?

      1. This just came out and isn't even available in some markets. Expect reviews to trickle out in the coming weeks/months

      2. Better than the viewsonic by the spec sheet and it's cheap because it's probably a pricing error. It's too good to be true and I think a lot of people will be disappointed come Monday.

    • netsurfer on 02/08/2020 - 18:12
      +1

      As people pointed out, this is a new product and it looks like a new panel. Based on the specs, it cannot be the same panel as LG27GL850. The specs simply don't match (unless Dell flatout lie about the specs).

      As much as some people really want to have the cake and eat it, it might be better to have more realistic expectation. It seems more likely to be an AUO panel. It is possible LG released their 2020 panel to combat AUO stats wise, but I'd rather not assume that.

      LG27GL850 - if you want to be a proven, already reviewed by many monitor, but don't mind being an older model (so it is listed as HDR10 instead of HDR400 - though monitors in this class are all fake HDR anyway) and technically slightly inferior stats (but with IPS, there can be a bit of "cheating" in quoted specs). You also don't mind paying more.

      VX2758-2KP-MHD - It is the 1440p cheapest gaming monitor in this price range for a good reason. No USB hub, no included VESA stand (there is VESA mount), 1 HDMI port being HDMI 1.4 only. Corners are cut.

      This one - worst case is a newer version of the panel used in Viewsonic, but with a VESA stand included and USB hub. It could be an LG panel (slightly updated). However, doesn't really matter which, being IPS, there is a bit of lottery regarding getting one without any dead pixel and the degree of blacklight bleeding can also vary.

      • gentlekoala5906 on 02/08/2020 - 18:36

        Display ninja says it's using an LG Nano IPS panel, same one found in 27GL850

        https://www.displayninja.com/new-monitors/

        Could be wrong but Dell has it listed as having 98% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut which matches this panel

        • netsurfer on 02/08/2020 - 19:13
          +2

          Problem is this:
          https://www.dell.com/ng/business/p/dell-s2721dgf-monitor/pd?…

          Which matches what OP has posted. And this:
          https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/da672043

          If it is the same panel, how did it become 400 cd/m2 brightness? Also, the measured contrast ratio for the LG is a tad below 800:1 (which matches LG's specs). So this Dell monitor somehow is 1000:1?

          Another issue is other monitors listed by Display Ninja quoting to use the same monitor has the same panel dimension as the LG, but the Dell seems to be a bit off (Dell's panel appears a bit smaller). That said, I am not convinced about Display Specs information either. I doubt the Dell is a real 10 bit monitor. It is most likely 8 bit + FRC to achieve 10 bit. It's too early to confidently state that it is an LG panel.

          Also, LG panel doesn't mean much. All the Dell monitors I returned / rejected were all LG IPS panels. LG do dump panels with 1-2 dead pixels to Dell and Dell have the nerve to sell them as Ultrasharp monitors.

          • gentlekoala5906 on 02/08/2020 - 19:26

            @netsurfer: All good points, either way hopefully it is a decent monitor in its own rights.

      • bradcpv35 on 02/08/2020 - 19:30
        +1

        Dell's website identifies the panel as "Fast IPS Nano Color". They also do this for the Alienware AW3420DW which most definitely uses an LG Nano IPS panel.

        Also, while I understand the point about realistic expectations.. don't forget that the standard price for the S2721DGF is $570 USD, which is more than the LG 27GL850.

        • gentlekoala5906 on 02/08/2020 - 20:36

          Where does it say "fast IPS nano" I can't see this statement on the monitors page!

        • netsurfer on 02/08/2020 - 21:01

          The "Nano Color" is just a backlight enhancement for HDR. No matter how much marketing they want to juice it up, it is still fake HDR. This is not going to be the high end IPS that does real HDR.

          If you believe it is the same panel as LG 27GL850, then Dell simply quoted max values, rather than the average value. Thing is, that means both brightness and contrast ratio are also max values (that's cheating to be honest), rather than average. So, the "HDR" is going to remain a gimmick.

          I hope LG provide quality panels with no dead pixel and good even backlight (fingers crossed).

    This is a silly questions but I'm looking for a new monitor for working from home and I haven't done any research on a new monitor for years. I've got an old Samsung 27" 1080p and I suffer with eye strains from it, would a new monitor like this help?

    Nearing 20k+ clicks. Surely they dont have thousands of these things sitting in a warehouse. Hope Im wrong, but I get the sense our orders will get cancelled. Especially considering its $1200 on the NZ site.
