Keen to know as well. The MSI one has no height adjustment kind of kills it for me, but I'm not sure if I wanted to spend another $70 extra for something so identical.
For users of average body dimensions the height adjustment on a 27-inch is kind of redundant. Definitely needed on a 24-inch however.
What I really need is a built in USB hub. I guess for the price, MSI is a better option, unless I spent the extra to go with the Dell 4k S2722QC recently promoted.
This Dell on seems to bang on about having really good built in speakers if that’s important
Feel like that isn't important to anyone, if you need good sound you would get external speakers lol
Agreed haha.8
I also use VESA mounts so I dont think I will get anything out of the adjustable stands. Maybe MSI has the win here for saving `~$80 each
This Dell S2725DS has height adjustable stand that also does tilting, swiveling & pivoting compare to the fixed stand on the MSI (doesn't matter if you have a monitor arm though). The Dell also has more capable speakers at 5W each (vs 2W on MSI)
Not the best colour accuracy, just keep in mind if you work with colour.
So good for the colour blind?
For a 27" monitor, I would go for a 4K resolution. The amount of real estate you get on screen is incredible.
I run 2 x 27"4K Dell monitors at home
You have to have darn good eyesight though.
Agreed.
If you've got a Mac that has excellent scaling, then the 4k is worthwhile. For Windows, if you plan on running at native resolution, then this 2560x1440 resolution is excellent without straining the eyes, and gives you a lot more usable space than a 1920x1080 monitor.
Yeah I have decent eyesight and at 1440p (100% scaling) I still need to zoom in sometimes.
How is 100Hz for gaming? Already have a 4K 60Hz Dell.
100Hz is a nice jump from 60Hz. Should be a good upgrade.
I changed my monitor from 32 inch 4K 60hz to 32 inch 1440p 165hz for around 1.5 years.
4k to 1440p in gaming is noticeable but 1440p still pretty good.
60hz to 120hz+ is huge improvement, even 100hz still big improvement. But buying a new gaming monitor, I will get at least 144hz.
Bought two of these from the last deal for home office. Great for the price and nice to get them under $300 for tax deduction :)
But you've got the receipt so no reason to be under $300 for tax deduction?
I have a S2721DS and a S2722QC. The color on the S2721DS is OK but from 2022 models onwards, Dell get rid of the comfortview preset mode. So the S2722QC has a purple and blueish hue. So buying this kind of uncalibrated S series monitors need a bit of luck.
Selling a dell 27inch like this but 4k with USB c if anyone wants
How does this compare to the MSI 27” deal posted earlier in the week?
Seems very similar spec but assume Dell build quality is higher
