    • wellzi on 10/11/2020 - 07:55

      This has HDR400 whereas the Asus is HDR10.

      • Oauiii on 10/11/2020 - 07:58

        Not too sure.dont see it on the specs.

      • Wicko on 10/11/2020 - 07:59

        Keeping in mind that the HDR on this monitor isn't great, and it looks better when it's off imo.

      • YELNATS on 10/11/2020 - 08:01
        +4

        HDR400 and HDR10 practically same thing. The 400 just meas it is HDR at 400nits brightness

        • wellzi on 10/11/2020 - 08:45
          +2

          Thanks for the heads up, I just thought the higher the number, the better. Turns out I'm comparing Apples to Bread.

          Would I be correct in stating that HDR10 describes a metadata format, and HDR400 describes the display's capabilities?

          Research would also suggest that HDR400 isn't really bright enough to notice anyway.

          I do have one of these screens and agree with @Wicko. I think it looks better off, as well.

          • twister292 on 10/11/2020 - 12:19
            +2

            @wellzi: HDR10 just means it can accept an HDR 10-bit signal. HDR400 is a VESA specification which requires monitors to have a colour gamut of 100% sRGB (BT.709) and 400 nits peak brightness in HDR mode. HDR600 onwards require local dimming to meet minimum contrast ratio requirements, and also need at least 90% DCI-P3 gamut. The X00 means peak brightness.

      This monitor is Vesa DisplayHDR 400 and 400nits and $~150 cheaper than the Asus, IMO it's a better buy

      • Oauiii on 10/11/2020 - 07:59

        Oh nice. This comes out way cheaper than Asus with this deal too. Win!

    • wellzi on 10/11/2020 - 08:49

      I just realised I also have a VG278AQ in my household (though not my monitor). The VG278AQ was far lighter than the S2721DGF, and I feel the Dell had better build quality in particular aspects. The Asus also has a screw on monitor stand, instead of Dell's clip on. Lastly, the Asus has an external power brick (from memory), so depending on what you prefer I guess this could be a deciding factor.

    • dodidbakar on 11/11/2020 - 16:25

      i had the vg27aq for less than a month before I sold it and replace with the s2721dgf - you can see the ghosting quite clearly when you play 60 fps games. performance at 144hz/100+fps looked ok to me though.

  • Lewis646 on 10/11/2020 - 08:10

    What's better for casual gaming (no esports), this or the 34" Xiaomi?

    • Krad3r on 10/11/2020 - 08:19
      +1

      It depends on you. 34 inch is great, you have beautiful viewing angles etc. 27 inch is a nice size, and great for multi monitor productivity set-ups.

      Both are good options gaming just depends on how you want your set up to look like.

    • RI4V4N on 10/11/2020 - 08:28

      Tbh the 4k 60fps version of this might be better. Older games look a lot sharper and most console games are 4k now (ps5 doesn't even support 2k).

      Black friday will have some cheap deals all round too

      • latenight on 10/11/2020 - 08:40
        +15

        2K 144fps beats 4K 60fps for me.

        • RI4V4N on 10/11/2020 - 08:57
          -4

          Yeah fair enough. I think for a lot of people it won't be better than 4k though unless your playing competitive shooters in a high ranked setting etc or anything more casual it isn't really required. It does make things look smoother for sure in movement, but 4k resolution also makes things look nicer all around.

          I have both and kinda wish I went with just 4k cos I'm not really competitive in my gaming.

          • Soothsayer on 10/11/2020 - 10:35
            +1

            @RI4V4N: Someone gaming casually might not have the PC to drive 4K to its full potential though. Would you take 4K at medium/low settings instead of 1440p at 100+ fps?

          • Diji on 11/11/2020 - 12:03
            +1

            @RI4V4N: The fluidity of motion at higher refresh is something that's often understated. I can't comment on the appeal of 4K at smaller screen sizes like 32" though because I haven't tried it.

            I don't game competitively but even 90Hz looks so much nicer than 60Hz.

    • mazuko on 10/11/2020 - 09:38

    Just remember ps5 doesn't support 2k.

    • latenight on 10/11/2020 - 08:38

      Will the PS5 at least output to the display in 1080p?

      • RI4V4N on 10/11/2020 - 09:07

        No idea info seems all over the place

        • netsurfer on 10/11/2020 - 09:44
          +1

          It is obvious PS5 supports 1080p.

          Sure, series X does support 2K, but it is like XBox One X, where most games supersampled down from 4K. Through back compat, you are looking at 2K/60fps (FSAA down from 4K if you like). Problem is, this monitor's 60Hz implementation isn't 100% bug free (there seems to be a faint line on the second last row of pixels at 60Hz).

          2K is more a PC thing. Would be good if more XBox One X/Series X games offer native 2K/120Hz support.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2020 - 09:46

      oh really? i thought hdmi 2.1 can support 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 60Hz? i believe this is equivalent to our PC's next-gen GPU in RX3000 & RX6000 series.

      • netsurfer on 10/11/2020 - 10:13

        Technically, PS5 can support 2K/120Hz, but Sony is not enabling that mode. The main reason is Sony doesn't sell any TV that's 2K in resolution.

        So there is no incentive. Also, how many console reviews talk about 2K performance? With XBox One X using 4K FSAA down to 2K for most games, when using 2K, you are not gaining any higher fps. It is very unlikely existing games would be patched to enable native 2K performance mode (as that requires effect to optimise every game for that extra mode). New games might be better as series S is meant to support 2K. Unfortunately, with series S using XBox One S code path in back compat mode, it doesn't benefit much from 2K (as it cannot access XBox One X's 4K code path).

        However, if you intend to use this monitor for console gaming, XBox series is better suited (since you don't need to use 1080p interpolation mode on the monitor).

        • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2020 - 10:19

          so are you saying that the super modern GPU inside the next-gen consoles are being dumbed down? if this is true, does this mean that PC's next-gen GPUs will exceeds the "dumbed down" console's GPU in term of performance? in other words, the previous-gen GPUs (2070 Super / 5700XT) are on par with PS5 and X Box One X?

          • netsurfer on 10/11/2020 - 10:49
            +1

            @[Deactivated]: No, it is more about the number of modes consoles support and will support per game. Unlike PC, consoles tend to support 1 to 2 modes (resolution and performance modes) per game. It looks like native 4K (for resolution) and dynamic 4K (for performance) is the plan for next gen consoles. 4K/120 support sounds better than 2K/120. Sony is not bothering with 2K support. Microsoft is mostly using 4K FSAA to 2K (rather than having game developers doing an extra 2K mode).

            XBox Series X is roughly a slightly underclocked RX 6800 with 4 CUs removed / disabled. PS5, without knowing AMD's RX 6700 series offering, it is probably around RX 6700 / 6700XT. PS5 is better than 5700XT.

            The reasons for getting consoles is that you don't want to do all those tweaking (and maybe modding). Given this monitor supports 144 and 165Hz (via DisplayPort), it is really best suited for PC gaming. We are seeing nVidia GPUs providing more improvement in 4K than 2K this time around.

            Also, 4K/60Hz 27 inch displays are selling at a lower price than 2K/144-165Hz 27 inch displays.

            • MiscOzB on 10/11/2020 - 15:57

              @netsurfer: Better off going with 32"+ for 4k though, the general consensus is 27" is too small

              • netsurfer on 10/11/2020 - 16:53

                @MiscOzB: It's more about 27 inch 2K gaming monitors (120, 144, 165) currently cost more than27 inch 4K/60 monitors. If using consoles is a factor, then 4K might be a better option (assuming you are fine with resolution scaling in Windows 10, MacOS). Series X currently can only rely on Xbox One X code path, that means 60fps for 1440p. Sure, 4K FSAA on 2K is nifty, but you are essentially getting really only 60fps at 2K, even though the hardware is capable of 120fps (if the games render natively at 2K).

                The best case scenario is developers really embrace 1440p for console and create 2 additional modes for Series X and Series S. Honestly, that's asking a lot. They are more likely to opt for dynamic 4K/120 because with 4K TVs becoming the new norm and 4K/120Hz could entice people buy higher end TVs.

                For PC gaming, then 2K high framerate could be more attractive. A good thing about this monitor is that HDCP 2.2 is supported so you can play 4K UHD blu-ray movie discs.

        I have a PG279Q currently and it's around 1300:1, this Dell monitor was tested at 880:1 in SDR which is low even by IPS standards. It reaches almost 1000 in HDR mode however you'd be unlikely to use HDR given it's only HDR400 which usually looks worse than SDR.

    Just a note that the Click Frenzy start time is advertised wrongly on the website, it starts at 7pm AEDST (Daylight Savings time) not AEST (Aus Eastern Standard Time) as advertised.

    Anyone know if the site-wide 25% is coming back again? Need to get a monitor arm.

      Mate look into Bayou F80, it's great!

        will it fit? do you have one paired with the dell recessed vesa mounting holes?

          Have the Bayou F100 and the monitor mounted for about 2 months now.

          The screws that came with the monitor weren't long enough to latch on securely. used the longer screws that came with the mount and it worked.

        Thanks. I do have a vision mount that I currently use with productivity monitor that looks similar to this.
