It's been a while since this one has been below $400.

AFAIK the Dell G2724D is the only PS5 VRR compatible QHD monitor available anywhere near this price.

Screen - 27" QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS Display
Picture smoothness - 165Hz Refresh rate with 1ms Grey to grey response time
Enhanced feature - NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium

HDMI 2.1 (lite) - features HDMI Forum VRR with HDMI 2.0 bandwidth.

    I'm still rocking my Dell S2721DGF and loving it.

    • Mnke on 09/05/2024 - 15:21

      Hell yeah. I'm using a S2721DGF next to a S2716DG.

      Me too. I have two S2721DGF for ~$420 each for over a year now and very satisfied.

      Based on reviews it seems this is the successor model to it. 27" 1440P @ 165Hz seems to be the sweet spot.

        Apparently the G2724D is cut back on quality compared to the older S2721DGF but the new price reflects this. Gladly holding onto both my S2721DGF monitors.

      So many S2721DGF family members, I'm loving it!
      Thanks to OZB, I jumped on them the moment they were available, around the $400 mark, yes. Rock solid monitors.

      Yeah I've got one too, sucks that I kept holding off getting a second one and then suddenly they were EOL.

      Tempted to get one to replace the dodgy Samsung one I have

    This may be a good price at this time, but just for reference the G3223D was $310.41 9 months ago - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/792521.

    • NatoTomato on 09/05/2024 - 15:11

      That's an INSANE deal holy hell

    • Aureus on 09/05/2024 - 15:23

      Seems like all of the crazy monitor specials are for 32". 🥲

    • CVonC on 09/05/2024 - 16:07

      Does that support VRR over HDMI? There doesn't seem to be an rtings review on it. Only on the 4k Q model.

      • iandj on 10/05/2024 - 09:11

        It supports VRR over HDMI but only 144hz not the full 165hz.
        See here for all freesync certified monitors.
        https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/technologies/freesy…

        • CVonC on 10/05/2024 - 12:21

          Hmm I've seen some Reddit owners saying the 32 doesn't

          I have the g3223d 32 inch 1440p model and it doesn't work with vrr even in console mode. I wonder why the 27 inch version works with it

          And even on Dell's website it says it doesn't

          *2 - The PlayStation 5 must be updated to the latest firmware version to support VRR. Not applicable for the S2721HGF, S2422HG, G2422HS, G2723H, S2722DGM, S3222DGM, S3422DWG, G3223D monitors.

          And the AMD link doesn't specifically say it supports VRR over HDMI tbh. Just what refresh rates it does support over HDMI.

        • pinkybrain on 11/05/2024 - 12:32

          don't think most people would be able to spot the difference..

          there was a LTT video about this

  • Ozb101 on 09/05/2024 - 15:17

    Good for office/productivity work?

      Yep, 1440p IPS panel and normal RGB so good text clarity.

      Maybe take a look at this from computer alliance for $279

    • overbyte on 10/05/2024 - 07:37

      Good for mixed use but overkill if you're never going to play games on it compared to a cheaper 4K 60hz monitor.

      The one non-gaming use of VRR I can think of is removing judder in video playback, but that's only supported by mpv at the moment.

      • boozed on 11/05/2024 - 16:12

        A high fps monitor makes the mouse cursor movement smoother too. Maybe not worth a big difference in price but it's nice.

  • buyer-123 on 09/05/2024 - 17:21

    Got a G274QPF-E2 which was cheaper than this.. but maybe doesn't work with VRR on PS5?

    • benhersey on 09/05/2024 - 20:04

      Yep, it doesn't.

  • ynnad on 09/05/2024 - 18:42

    I've been waiting for this monitor to go on special for some time.

    Anyone reckon it will get lower at EOFY deals? Or is the $319 historic deal posted above not likely to return?

    • CVonC on 09/05/2024 - 21:39

      ATL is $350.12?

    Ugh. Really want to buy this, but just purchased my iPad Pro 2024. Don't really need this.
    24", 1080 p is sufficient for now ><

    Down to $369 with the mother's day perks coupon.

    Thanks for posting - purchased two!

  • Avgjoe22 on 10/05/2024 - 10:09

    I am deciding between this and the ASUS TUF gaming VG27AQ3A 27" QHD 180Hz IPS currently $379 at PLE. Struggling to understand if features like 130% sRGB and ASUS low motion blur sync are really that much of a difference. Everything else appears very similar in specs. Would be using for gaming but not too concerned about FPS style but would still play

    Would love to know if people have any thoughts on this. Thank you!

    • benhersey on 10/05/2024 - 12:30

      Gaming on PC, Xbox or PS5?

      • Avgjoe22 on 10/05/2024 - 15:30

        This would be for PC.

    • pinkybrain on 11/05/2024 - 12:35

      trying googling the model and look at youtube video reviews
      or checking if the monitor is on display in the store….

      Also need to know if your GPU even will run games with those higher refresh rates

  • johnmw1 on 10/05/2024 - 12:15

    Hi,
    I'm trying to decide between this G2724D deal or spending an extra $100 and getting the AW2724DM.

    From what I have read the AW doesn't have as clear a text clarity as the G2724D. I'm not a gamer and am a WFH, web surfer, YT viewer etc.

    I'm trying to future-proof myself as much as possible because I feel this will probably be the last monitor I purchase and it will see me out until my time is up.

    Would the $100 difference be worth it for more connectivity options, and would I notice between the lesser clarity with the AW?

    • benhersey on 10/05/2024 - 12:31

      You might consider a 4k 60hz monitor if you don't need the gaming features.

      • johnmw1 on 10/05/2024 - 16:03

        Hi,

        Thanks mate. I purchased a 4k Dell going back a month or 2, to be talked out of using it because the fonts are so much smaller to read in 4k. Also, I was told my old PC would not be capable of running a 4k monitor. I returned it unopened. So yeah you can see I'm very confused about what I should be looking for regarding a monitor for work, web browsing etc

        May I also ask what the perks code is all about?

        • mella060 on 10/05/2024 - 17:59

          I just created a new account on JB and just got an email saying I get $30 off purchases over $300 until 17th May. That would be the mothers day perks offer going around. Brings the monitor down to $369. Seems like a pretty good deal!

        • pinkybrain on 11/05/2024 - 12:39

          you should get 32" or higher for 4K

          27" is probably too small for reading text at 4K
          though you can increase the font size or scaling..

          perks is code you get sent when you are a member
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/844997

          you also get $10 join code
          and birthday code.

    @benhersey Thanks for the post, I bought the Dell G2724D via ClickNcollect from JB last night for $369 using the perks code and installed it this morning.
    After watching a YT unboxing/setup video for the Dell G2724DI discovered that I'm meant to change the Windows setting for the refresh rate and HDR,
    which I didn't realise I thought that would be automatic, yeah I know Noob here!!
    Anyhow the display is beautiful, I was watching the latest Star Trek Discovery episode and the colours are very vibrant. 5 stars from me!!

      • pinkybrain on 11/05/2024 - 12:40

        Yep - 144hz will give you a black screen with your mouse cursor visible

        why?

        also why get 144hz if you can only do 120hz for PC?

        • benhersey on 15/05/2024 - 14:39

          Probably not all PCs - but this was the case on mine. Black screen with cursor visible until I changed from 144hz to 120hz. Maybe it was my dock or outdated drivers.

  • mella060 on 10/05/2024 - 17:33

    Can get it for $389 with the normal JB perks code. Kind of deciding between this one or the Dell U2724D which I can get at Centre Com for $499. Is that a good deal and is it worth paying a bit extra for what will primarily be a work monitor? It has a 120hz screen. Is there much difference in gaming capability between 120hz and 144hz? I will prob play games occasionally, but mostly it will be for work.

    Here is the link to the U2724D

    https://www.centrecom.com.au/dell-ultrasharp-27-qhd-ips-120h…

    • dbell on 12/05/2024 - 19:19

      Was wondering about the differences in the choice. If you're mainly working, I would go for the U2724D over the G2724D. The U is apparently Ultrasharp which is Dells top tier monitor for clarity, with the G I believe this is either G-Sync or Gaming. We have this model at work, though I found it shows a lot of reflection glare.

      I dunno, it it was me I would go the lower cost monitor for the 165hz (not 144hz). I think the other thing to consider is the number of ports on each monitor (HDMI, USB, USB-C etc). I know the U2724 has a lot. I'm not sure about the G2724D.

      Hopefully this helps. Is one worth $130 more? (Getting this for $369 with code vs Centrecom $499).

    $370.75 on the Dell website using the code 0R41V5SX8NMZXT so this is only a deal if you can use the JB mother's Day promo code.

    Free shipping with Dell if your not near a JB or they are out of stock.
