Rtings.com review

I work for TechRadar AU and I have trawled the Dell website for monitors that are a good deal currently with the 7% off. The Dell G2724D 27” QHD 165Hz IPS HDMI 2.1 Gaming Monitor is a great deal at $371.35 (was $529.10), and the 7% coupon discount worked on every consumer display I tried. So Gaming, S series and Alienware monitors. (But not P or E series, or Ultrasharp) I couldn’t find any other coupons that stack unfortunately!

Keep in mind that the coupon may not work with cashback – I can’t confirm either way but others have mentioned it before.

    What’s the best budget option for dual 24” monitor setup with daisy chain (plus usb c) and pivot, swivel, etc features?
    This is mainly for home office setup. Thanks.

    • +1

      I'd probably go u2520d or u2421he

      • +2

        Thanks, didn’t know about these models. They have made it so difficult to find out which models can do daisy chain.

    • +1

      Why is this being downvoted? is it just because they're looking for 24" monitors?

      • Thanks, I didn’t even pay attention that it was down voted by a few 🙂.
        I asked the question as I thought OP might know of some good options on sale.

    • +4

      For 24", the Dell 24 P2422HE is the cheapest option that does daisy chaining. It is currently out of stock though. The code doesn't work on P series monitors sadly.

      These are the 24-inch options from my Dell list that support daisy chaining. I am not sure off hand about other brands – definitely worth checking as the Dell prices here are not amazing.

  • Get 27×2. This one

    • 27x 2 will be too big for my table space.
      Do you think this one can do daisy chain?

      • +2

        It can't daisy chain as it doesn't have any display outputs, you could always use a usb-c hub and choose any monitor which may be a better solution instead of searching for one that can specifically daisy chain

  • Was looking for a secondary monitor, would this pair well with my primary 27" 1440p monitor (165hz) or should I go for another 1440p / 1080p monitor?

    • +2

      I have run monitors of different resolutions before and never had an issue. In theory you might get some scaling weirdness on specific applications.

      In terms of the refresh rate – do you need or use 165Hz for any particular reason? I am not sure what (if any) issues you could run into. Aside from perhaps all monitors running at the refresh rate of the slowest one.

      But one way to avoid both those issues. The Dell 27-inch S2725DS is 2560 x 1440 100Hz and is $305.10 with the 10% off.

      It's been $277 before here on OzBargain (so I did not include it), but $305.10 is still pretty good.

      • I bought my 165hz monitor purely for high refresh rate gaming, I don't plan on gaming with my secondary monitor. The price between 1440p and 4k 27" monitors I've seen doesn't seem that much more expensive which is why I'm hesitant.

    • +2

      It would depend on the usage I think, in my opinion 4k is overkill on a 27" except if you sit really close to it.

    • +4

      I have 2 x 4K 28" monitors, which I use for work daily (CAD). One is a 60Hz and one is a 144Hz (which I run at 120Hz since it seems slightly sharper). I don't notice any issue with the two side by side, yeah one is smoother in motion but it's not much of a big difference. What will probably be more of a difference is going 1440p to 4K. For me, I can't do without 4K any more - when I'm in the office and they try to give me a 1080p, I turn it down and prefer my Macbook screen. :)

    • My personal experience: Windows: should be ok. You can change the scale settings to make a window's size the same when moved from one screen to the other.
      MacOS: it looks weird. Maybe because I always use the max scale for 27" 4K monitors, so a window when moved from the 1440p/1080p one to the 4k one will look much smaller.

      In term of resolution preference: I prefer 32" 4K to 27" 4K to 27" 1440p.

      • +1

        On Windows there's also an open source tool called Little Big Mouse which makes mouse movements between monitors with different DPIs seamless. I run it with a 4K and 1440p monitor setup.

      • +1

        Give BetterDisplay (app) a try: https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay

    • +1

      I run functionally this exact setup. I have the 1440p Gigabyte M27Q as primary, and this Dell as a secondary. Keep in mind I got the 4k when the 1440p was either not available or actually a lot more expensive.. I paid $320 for the 4k a couple years ago.

      It works great as a secondary monitor, however honestly if you can get a good price/sub 300 on the 1440p model of the same type, I'd go that. Avoiding the type C option will save you a few bucks too if you only use it for windows/a desktop PC, though Type C is always useful at some point… It just means pixel density/scaling is the same across both. You don't really need a 4k secondary monitor if your primary is 1440p. Also means if you move windows between the two monitors the rescale/size thing is sometimes slightly annoying.

      I've used for both Mac/Windows, Mac played ball better, Windows scaling is fine but see above for the window moving between screens thing.

    • +2

      I dont know about you, but differing resolutions (well even differing monitors) drives me nuts.

      I bought two cheap 100hz 1440p when one of my 27"s went bad - they were half the price of most 27" 1440p and feel actually much better than my previous Acer 27" 180hz 1080p gaming monitors. They were $180 when I bought them though, youll struggle to get that price they are typically about (the still cheap ~208)

      MSI PRO MP275Q 27"

  • One at work developed random unstable banding quite annoying and Dell wouldnt replace. It doesn't come up all the time but enough to disturb you. Sometimes it would be there for a few seconds sometimes a few minutes. Also the tech support tried to have us video the issue but it's only detected by eye not the camera.

  • +2

    Had this for several years, great monitors.

    I really wish they did exactly this monitor but at 32" for my next upgrade. All of their other 32"+ seem to be curved or have other expensive features I don't want.

    • The 32" version seems to be VA vs IPS on the 27"

  • Had it for 2 years. Action movies with quick actions can be so slow so you'll miss half of frames.
    My monitor suiceded by tilting on 45 degrees and touching another object with bezel. I do not recommend this paper sturdiness.
    I bought it for the same price 2 years ago, so these 10% are periodically available.

  • I wrongly bought this one assuming it can do daisy chain on the USBC connection but it doesnt… :(

    • +1

      Yep I did the same thing. Luckily, I've got enough ports on laptop that I run one off USB-C and the other off HDMI. Works fine, but disappointing than I didn't pick up on it before purchasing.

  • I have the cheaper S2721QS next to an LG 27GL850-B (144hz 1440p). These monitors are put through heavy mixed use 8+ hours a day. WFH on both monitors. Watch video on the 4K monitor, game on the 1440p monitor.

    The height adjustment of these Dells where you can push it way down to the base sold it for me. The LG's height adjustment can't be pushed as far down as the Dell, so I'm looking to replace it with another Dell.

    Good enough until I can be bothered to get a sturdier non-particleboard desk that can properly support a monitor arm.

  • any feedback re having 2x 27 monitors or one ultra wide? trying to think of what would be best for productivity

    • I have a Samsung Ultra Wide and this one here as a second monitor, if I had my time again, I would probably get two of the Dells. The only benefit I personally currently see for the ultra wide is AutoCad… or maybe I have not setup my workflow / windows to get more benefits out of the ultra wide

      • thanks i did suspect two screens would be more practical than to rely on window management. the ultra wide does look sleeker though

        • Two monitors is also good if you're using more than one device. I often have one monitor showing my home PC and the other monitor showing my work laptop.

  • Just 33¢¿ wait for US$ to crumble for better discounts. But AU$ is linked /vulnerable too

    • -1

      wait for US$ to crumble

      You might be waiting a long time. With an election coming up both parties seem to have reasonable economic policy so unless there is another GFC type event, I can't see any reason for any significant drop in the USD. From what I've seen, a Dem victory means more of the same, and a GOP win means the USD will strengthen. There is no down option.

  • Thank you, was waiting for a deal on these to pop up as our house cat just pushed over and broke the display on my trusty Dell S2771QS.

    You can get an additional $10 discount by signing up for Dell Rewards and completing the quick survey/preferences. It only takes a few minutes and the credit will be available in your account.

  • I currently have a s2722DC, and it’s a great monitor… uses as a dock with one plug in for laptop.

    Does the QC work the same way? It reads as though it does, just can’t work out the differences between the two monitors?

    • +1

      The DC is 2560 x 1440 rather than 3840 x 2160 for the QC. But yep, it works the same way like a dock.

  • Anyone know if 2 of these would be suitable for a WFH/gaming set up? My partner mainly looks at spreadsheets all day. Looking to spend around $300 per monitor and I'm thinking the 4K might be overkill?

    • +1

      You are looking at spreadsheets get at least 1440p so 4K is a good idea. Though for 4K gaming hope you have a good graphics card.

    • +1

      The Dell S2721DS ($305.10 with code) is 2560 x 1440 and has a 100Hz variable refresh rate using HDMI 2.1.

      2560 x 1440 is great for spreadsheets. And depending on your GPU, 100Hz and variable refresh rate makes for a much smoother gaming experience.

  • I already have a S2721QS but need a second monitor. Is it easier to just get another S2721QS or is it worth getting the S2722QC?

    • Probably just get the S2721QS, unless you have a specific device you want to connect via USB (like a laptop).

      • Would I be able to connect the QS via HDMI and the QC via USB and have dual monitor set up that way?

        • Yep - I have done exactly that before. Double check your laptop supports video out over USB-C and HDMI at the same time just to be sure.

  • This good for photo editing? Or should I look at something used like this for $250

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/335079336600?itmmeta=01J3FJ3PYRW…

    • It'd be fine for casual editing, the Ultrasharp line is more accurate generally though for colours/professional use.

      Best to check reviews to confirm what colourspace you'd be using most and how they fare.

    • S2722QC has 99% sRGB colour vs 99.9% sRGB on the Ultrasharp linked. Same contrast ratio.

      IMO the 4K resolution on the S2722QC will make a much bigger difference to photo editing, vs 2560 x 1440 on the Ultrasharp.

  • How would this perform as a work monitor compared to a UltraSharp 27" - doing programming document editing?

    • Depends which model Ultrasharp. But yeah this would make for a good work monitor. I have not used it with a MacBook Pro, but a comment below yours is from someone who has, and no issues mentioned about scaling.

  • Any scaling issues with Macbook Pros?

  • Can the USB 3.2 ports be used for plugging in a dongle for wireless keyboard/mouse?

    • Yep - the USB 3.2 ports are USB-A. But the idea from locee below (USB hub plugged into monitor) is a great call.

  • +1

    I have had one of these since Feb 23 - and paid a $410 for it. Works great on MacBook Pro and charges it with one cable. Picture is great, WFH all day on it.

    I only regret the lack of ethernet and a couple of USB ports - so I got one of these on and stuck it on the back. https://www.umart.com.au/product/tp-link-usb-3-0-3-port-hub-…

    Now I have single cable MacBook / charge / video / gig ethernet / webcam.

    • Ahhhh, great idea!

  • I have a 24 inch monitor and a laptop. If I buy 2 of this Dell monitor, how can I set up my workstation with 3 monitors and a laptop? Do I have to buy a hub or dock for this purpose? I'm a noob here and really appreciate any recommedations from you guys.

    Thank you.

    • It depends on the laptop. But generally yeah, you'd use a dock.

      The specific dock that will be best depends on what laptop you have. It may be simpler and cheaper to buy the versions of the monitors without USB-C, if they will be plugged into a dock.

      The other option are screens that support daisy chaining over USB-C, but they will very likely be more expensive than getting a dock.

      • Thank you @Prong

        So if I buy 2 of the monitors in this post and a dock, that will work for the setup I mentioned, right?

        Do you have a recommedation for a dock?

        • What laptop will you be using? And what will you be using the triple screen setup for?

          Generally speaking I've found the Dell docks to be decent. Ugreen docks are also well rated but not always easy to find cheap.

          Often you can find cheap refurbished docks on eBay. They come from companies upgrading or downsizing. I've bought quite a few Dell docks this way from eBay and it's worked well.

          Assuming your laptop can output the required video over USB-C, then Thunderbolt 4 docks are a good place to start looking. Just check they do triple monitors.

          If in doubt see if your brand laptop has a manufacturer recommended dock. Or if they sell a dock themselves.

  • Coupon lasts until the end of Friday? Still looking at other possible options.

    • Yep, ends 26 Jul 2024 23:59.

  • These are now coming through at $340 with coupon - amazing deal! Thanks OP.

    • Ahhh looks like Dell has dropped the price of the monitor by $20. So using the TechRadar 7% coupon, the price is now slightly lower. $351.93. I'll update the deal.

  • Thanks. Got 1 to try. If any good will get 3 more.
