    Hardware unboxed recommends this over the LG 27gl850 (which has the same panel and is rarely below $700). Review only uploaded last night.
    Easy buy if you have the cash.

    P.s. these aussies are probably the best reviewers in youtube world for monitors, would suggest checking them out and throwing them a sub!

      Agreed Tim is the best monitor reviewer on YouTube. I've owned this monitor for a few weeks now and his review is spot on

      • locknuts on 20/10/2020 - 15:51
        +4

        Yeah. He's right about the pros and the cons. Super responsive and great picture but the contrast sucks and I had to calibrate mine to make it look right.

        • dabs on 21/10/2020 - 09:47

          How can you tell if your contrast is correct? I am using mine out of the box mode.

          I do have it on FPS mode.

    • tkotk on 20/10/2020 - 15:49

      I had the dell but it lost power after a week. After a lengthy debate with dell I ended up returning it and purchasing the LG, which I’m stoked with. The ips glow from the dell was noticeable and even with the brightness toned down it was like two mac truck headlights. I prefer the LG in real world but hey, the dell is still a cracking price.

      • Larwood on 20/10/2020 - 16:55
        +12

        The Dell and LG use exactly the same panels, it's pure luck whether you get bad IPS glow

      yep, dont let the reviews on the website fool you probably the best monitor you can buy in this class (QHD/165hz/IPS) right now and huge shoutout to Tim if he reads this thread best monitor reviewer

    • nomoneynoproblems on 20/10/2020 - 16:09

      I found this https://youtu.be/wiN7u2JmQ70 review better than hardware unboxed and prefer a5hun who goes on another level in detail.
      Just thought I'd give an alternative to the main tech youtubers out there.

        I watched that whole review to try to understand why it's better and I don't get it. He didn't test response times, uniformity or input lag, and he didn't compare anything to other displays. Honestly it was only slightly better than an LTT monitor review.

        • nomoneynoproblems on 20/10/2020 - 17:27

          He actually shows real world examples and I thought his segment on colour accuracy was better done than HU. If looking at charts is more your thing that's fine but I preferred the actual use case examples. I look at enough charts at work. Show me why .03 response time is better or how certain profiles look in dark/bright games. He also touches on other things like the dell profile and vignette which while aren't the end all was nice extra detail. Could he improve? Sure. But hardware unboxed aren't the beacon of monitor reviews. I think that goes to a5hun.

          Then I simply come back in a couple days and say…

    Is it a great choice for Xbox series X (1440p/120) or another 4k/60hz monitor?

    I was gaming on a 75Hz mon, then went to a 60Hz and that felt painful for the first 2 hours. I fear this will ruin 60Hz for me forever.

    I cant decide to pull the trigger on this or not, i have an x34 currently and its such a hard choice, i love the ultrawide features but i feel like 165hz would be a big upgrade from 100hz on the x34. And does anyone know how this screen compares in looks with the x34. Thanks

    Very tempting to buy a second one, best not, as I don't need 165hz for a second monitor. But holding out for another great deal from Limaaa for the S2721D or S2721DS for my second monitor.
