            @Very Loki: I bought this monitor and I'm not impressed at all!! Daily usage is fine but as soon as I enter the game (League of legends) it doesn't look good at all ….seems there is a greish layer on the screen and also looks not sharp at all (all video settings are to maximum). Can someone help me ? I don't know if it's just this bad or it's some settings…. I have it connected to my laptop (Intel NuC M15 with i7 1260P) with HDMI port that comes with the monitor itself. Is that normal to

              @MarioBros: Maybe you got a dud (I don't know), I haven't had issues like that at all. Everything is fantastic quality, sharp, good resolution, vibrant colours, great response times, I've used both HDMI and DP, im currently using DP. Could it be software related like an NVIDIA setting or something?

          Important to distinguish that this replacement is always a refurbished screen unless it's within the first week, one that's likely been returned for a separate issue

          • huggsymersh on 10/04/2023 - 18:36
            +1

            @cille745: I'm probably responsible for at least 2 of these refurbs, which I returned in pristine state but returned due to very loud creaking and cracking noises as the monitors cooled after use. The 3rd new monitor I received also had the noise but after that time I was fed up with the process and decided to live with it.

            After six months, the noises significantly subsided so it's no longer an issue. Who would have thought?

            But I like to think I've put some travel mileage on 2 brand new monitors, but for those received those two as refurbs there were certainly no other issues!

            Anyway, Dell needed a bit of proactive and polite haggling on the phone lines but Dell warranty is very good.

            • cille745 on 10/04/2023 - 18:38
              +2

              @huggsymersh: The issue is ones with small issues (like a single dead pixel etc) will go back in "perfect" condition as refurbs, it essentially guaranteees that you'll never get a good one, I ended up getting a refund eventually

        • OzFrugie on 10/04/2023 - 22:54

        +4

        Zero worries about any dead pixels or stuck pixels or defects that come in 3 years. One phone call and a new unit arrives in a week and they come collect your old one. The monitor is also fantastic to begin with.

        • catbarf on 10/04/2023 - 19:31

          Ah really? I thought the terms were you need at least 5 dead pixels or at least 1 which was not changing the brightness? Maybe I should have called!

          • plmko on 10/04/2023 - 19:39

            @catbarf: I don't know about your circumstances but this monitor includes 3 years of premium warranty. That's why it's so easy to change until you are satisfied. But in my experiences Dell are eager to give you a solution even on basic warranty.

            • bobjane on 11/04/2023 - 01:31

              @plmko: Dell warranty is great if you can show the defect clearly.

              I had a premium warranty monitor arrive with a smudge under the screen. Against the backlight I could barely get it to show in photographs. Had to fight Dell tooth and nail over a period of weeks before they sent a refurb with scratches on the screen and multiple dead pixels. The replacement was so bad I kept the one with the smudge. It was a long time ago but I think they also removed the possibility of a refund as a condition for sending the replacement, otherwise I would surely have gone with that.

              If for whatever reason Dell decides they don't want to acknowledge the problem, they become the absolute shit to deal with. I recognize that you couldn't see the smudge in my photos worth a damn but the rep kept telling me that it was dead pixels AND that it wasn't covered. No idiot would have concluded dead pixels from the evidence, nevermind the fact that dead pixels WOULD be covered.

        • helpme on 04/05/2023 - 22:38

      Usually the warranty is great, but since this model is end of life they refused to replace my faulty one and offered a different model instead (curved VA panel, no thanks)

      • BigPeeper on 10/04/2023 - 21:35

Also when I set it to HDR mode I cannot really use it at all!! Can't see the writing. I don't understand much about monitors. Also …it can only reach 144hz and

      If you mean split two HDMI inputs on the screen then, no. It's frankly not that big a screen size to warrant that functionality anyway

    Love this monitor. Just be aware for PS5 users, it's not HDMI 2.1 compatible so VRR doesn't work on this monitor. This may change in a future software update.

    Some displays are capable of supporting VRR over HDMI 2.0 but I can unfortunately confirm this isn't one of them.

    • tmr3 on 10/04/2023 - 18:16
      +3

      This may change in a future software update.

      Dell has not released a firmware update for the S2721DGF to consumers, and has previously said they won't be doing so in response to questions around similar monitors from other manufacturers accepting a 4K 2160p signal and downscaling it to the display (useful for if you're using a PS5 or Xbox Series X).

      Newer units apparently do come with a newer firmware revision, but the consensus is that the only change appears to be to the out-of-box brightness and therefore power consumption in order to meet some regulation somewhere in the world.

      Do not expect any additional features to come to the S2721DGF beyond what it already has. Still very happy with my two, but just keeping expectations in check.

      • Fuzor on 10/04/2023 - 18:30

        You cant just firmware upgrade the hardware from 2.0 to 2.1!

      • jakmon777 on 10/04/2023 - 21:49

        It's possible Sony will be able to implement VRR on this hardware, seeing as the Series X delivers VRR over HDMI 2.0 without issue.

        The software update I was referring to would be on Sony's side, not Dell's.

        • tmr3 on 10/04/2023 - 23:18

          That's fair - the statement was a bit ambiguous so better to clear it up either way I think.

              @eckers19: Imo go for another 4k monitor.

              Not sure about macs, but the difference in resolution (yet both monitors are 27") will be annoying if you plan to dual monitor.
              Ie. Dragging windows across to the 1440p monitor will make it "magnified".

              If you had something like a 27" 1440p and a 24" 1080p it's not too bad as they are similar ppi.

              Also on refresh rates, i personally find it a bit jarring even going from 60Hz to 75Hz, but honestly most people don't care/notice.
