    Good for office work only I guess but not for gaming with only 75Hz and 4ms.

      Gaming is fine with that refresh rate, I use a 60 Hz monitor for gaming and no issues.

      • OZBsince2018 on 17/02/2024 - 17:01

        Depends what games and console, PS5 games would be better with higher refresh rate and less lag.

          60 Hz monitors and TVs have always been fine for gaming - what do you think we all used before high refresh rate monitors came out?

            @Mr Bob Dobalina: Assuming you launch your sweet games via Win 3.1 with your VGA monitor. 256 colours?! Nobody will ever need more!

            Technology improves. Going back to 60hz once you’ve tasted higher is jarring.

              @AaronR: Lucky for me then I've never tasted higher (though my old CRT monitor was 85 Hz, higher than my LCD's 60).

                @Mr Bob Dobalina: To be honest it’s probably a good idea to avoid it then haha. When I first tried 4K I didn’t rate it. Going to 120hz+ was like slowing time down and giving me superman vision. Its glorious.

                @Mr Bob Dobalina: Don't be too worried. I have been using a 165hz Asus rog monitor for years. It's good. But honestly it adds less than 5% to the gaming experience, if that, and only on twitchy shooters, which for me is Gears If War and COD games.

                Just by chance I've had to move my PC in the house for my wife to use it for work for a week so I've hooked up my pc to my work computer (Dell, 60hz).

                I don't want to say I've been duped, completely, but the graphics horsepower required to drive 165fps, compared with just driving 60fps etc is such a crazy difference for the very low, actual gaming gains.

                I'm playing Mw3 and GOW5 on 60hz and I'm like damn, the games run at locked 60 and it's pretty much perfect.

                When I think what I has to pay for a 165hz monitor it makes me sick.

            @Mr Bob Dobalina: Try using a phone with 60Hz display after using 90Hz or 120Hz, you will feel the difference in smoothness and colors lag specially when playing high resolution and motion games/videos.

      not for gaming with only 75Hz and 4ms

      There are plenty of games, e.g. RTS, story-driven games, simulators (e.g. cities skylines, MS flight simulator) that will benefit far more from the colour accurate IPS panel than from higher refresh rate.

      Many more graphically intensive games will struggle to even hit higher than 75 fps with the fastest GPUs.

      • Mr Bob Dobalina on 17/02/2024 - 21:26

        RTS is dead :(

        • doobey1231 on 17/02/2024 - 21:38

          AOE2 is pumping at the moment, multiple comps throughout the year - Hidden Cup V is on right now, NAC just finished a few weeks ago. Streams are copping good view counts etc. RTS is not dead.

            @doobey1231: lol just because a few people are playing a 25 year old game doesn't mean the genre is alive. What I meant was that it's dead as far as new development goes.

            • doobey1231 on 19/02/2024 - 09:03

              @Mr Bob Dobalina: At its core its a 25 year old game, but its had multiple updates, a massive team supporting it as well as consistent DLC drops. Plenty of development still happening

              If you think the age of an RTS game has any bearing you are looking at the genre wrong. How old is Chess? Checkers? Every single game is different from the last in an RTS, that's why replay-ability is infinite.

    • XCOM v2 on 18/02/2024 - 04:40

      Don’t know why you got negative, 60Hz was fine, 480P was fine, 19 inch was fine 20 years ago. But technology improves, why settle for 20 years ago technology when you can have more than 480p/19inch/60Hz today?
      75 Hz is playable and acceptable, but definitely not ideal gaming monitor. Settle for 60hz and 75hz monitor is fine if already got them, but buying new gaming monitor? Get 120hz +

      • hamwhisperer on 18/02/2024 - 13:10

        The monitor is not targeted at gamers at all.

        It's a good quality display for work and business functions.

        I have 5x 4k monitors in my house and none of them are over 60hz

        And I couldn't care less.

        • stevelo on 18/02/2024 - 13:16

          I had Dell 4k 60Hz monitor, they’re great except gaming. I switched to 1440p 165hz monitor 6 months ago for gaming, super satisfied. As you and he said, this isn’t a gaming monitor. I don’t know why he got negative when he said that.

  • bargainshooter on 17/02/2024 - 16:27

    • Magicmannn on 17/02/2024 - 16:30

      Images show you still need a mains power, think of it like a docking station + monitor together

      • OZBsince2018 on 17/02/2024 - 17:02

        Connects via USB C to your laptop, still requires main power.

    • slick7 on 17/02/2024 - 17:31

      USB-C from monitor to your laptop provides video but can also be setup (from menu) to charge 65W at same time eliminating the need to plug in a separate video cable and charging cable.

      • Guzd on 17/02/2024 - 23:25

        I can confirm this is the case. I use basically the 4k version of this and I love the fact it has a fast type c charger built in. You can use it even if your device is not outputting via that cable.

      • OZBsince2018 on 18/02/2024 - 00:53

        I presume this depends on your laptop too….!!!

    Better 4K LG USB-C monitor on here just recently for similar price.

    • ColdFusion on 17/02/2024 - 17:42

      Was that a VA pannel? If it's VA, I would go IPS even if it's lower res. But if its IPS vs IPS its a more challenging choice.

      • xdirex on 17/02/2024 - 17:45

        No it was their quite high end 850 series, IPS with excellent colour accuracy, and ok-ish HDR400 (better than the equivalent high-ish 4K Dell as I own both).

        Quality, recommended. I paid $800 for this series a few years ago. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/830216

      • jjcf on 18/02/2024 - 13:26

        I went with the Lenovo when my Dell copped a Duplo brick through the screen. It looks great, but the built in USB-C hub is straight trash. The Dell is so much better if you care about that.

    • Diminuendo on 17/02/2024 - 23:15

      I’d argue 1440p is the better resolution for 27 inches

      I've bought 2 of them used for 200 and 250 respectively in flawless condition, still under warranty and 4k

      Dunno how they're charging so much for the 1440p one.

  • nigel deborah on 17/02/2024 - 20:16

    Decent price but don't buy unless the USB C is a must. Their regular version of this monitor is regularly around $270 and below the $300 threshold.

    • 89tnp on 18/02/2024 - 00:30

      what's the model number for the non usb c version? Is it the S2721DS?

      exact same specs?

      • nigel deborah on 18/02/2024 - 08:09

        Not sure if it's an identical panel or not but the basic specs are the same. For work use anyway there will be no difference.

        Btw the stand on these is pretty shit, mine wobbles around a lot more than my other MSI monitor.

        • 89tnp on 18/02/2024 - 18:40

          interesting.

          I have the S2722DC and have been thinking about a second monitor. I just want it to look the same (quality and physical appearance, i.e. bezel).

          Not too phased about the connectivity as will just use HDMI I guess (hopefully it's future proof for a few years to come).

          I ditched the stand long ago for one of those arms.

          • nigel deborah on 18/02/2024 - 18:50

            @89tnp: It is possible you'll see minor differences in colour or brightness. But you should be able to tune those out. That could even still happen with the identical model as sometimes manufacturers mix panels.

            Depending on how strongly you need the aesthetics to match, you can get 1440/27 panels as cheap as $120 on sale without an adjustable stand (not necessary if VESA mounting).

    Can you set this up as 2x27 inch monitors using the internal hub?

    • Underlord on 17/02/2024 - 21:26

      Daisy chaining isn't possible, you'd have to connect both monitors to your computer

      • hothed on 18/02/2024 - 00:03

        Thanks!

          +1

          The S2722DE can daisy chain. You can buy those for about $500. Two S2722DE or one S2722DE and one S2722DC S2721DS (edited, DC apparently has no display port in) would both work. Noting the latter would have mismatching refresh rate unless you set the S2722DE to 75hz.

          Make sure you check your laptop USB C output for compatibility especially if you want data passthrough. Needs to support DisplayPort 1.4/HBR3 over USB-C.

          Getting it working correctly might be a bit finicky and hardware dependant especially if you want 2x 120hz. I'd buy from somewhere with a good returns policy like Amazon.

    Well this is surprisingly expensive again! Maybe I'll get decent money for my old one after all.

    Wait this is only the 1440p one? Lol

    What?

    • nigel deborah on 18/02/2024 - 19:03

      1440p is just about as expensive as 4k in this size. I assume it's because 4k in 27 is fairly undesirable.

      • hamwhisperer on 19/02/2024 - 10:39

        I'm using a 4k 27" right now and my eyes with glasses are still not amazing good.

        I use scaling and stuff if I need to but the amount of space is useful but also 1440p is just a tiny tiny bit too low res.
        I won't go over say 15" at 1080p anymore and I have a 16" 2560P right in front of me too.

        • nigel deborah on 19/02/2024 - 14:43

          It depends a lot on the use case. Some software scales well and it's really beneficial (photo/video editing), other software (especially older stuff) absolutely does not and it becomes nearly unusable at those pixel densities.

          I think for most general office workers not doing multimedia work 1440 is 'better' in 27inch just because it creates less problems at a mostly cosmetic cost.
