Recommended entry level 1440p IPS 165hz gaming monitor with VRR, RTINGS review is here: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/g2724d

In stock and back down under $400 at JB HI-FI (Ticket Price is $549, reduced to $379, $170 off). Not ATL ($350.12) from a few years ago.

Please note that this model has since been replaced by the Dell 27 G2725D (which is 180hz vs 165hz, but loses the faux HDR, doesn't have a height adjustable stand and there are mixed reviews on the panel i.e. on Reddit compared to the older Dell 27 G2724D).

    How does this compare to the S2721DGF?

      Looks to be a downgrade overall except for console gaming.

        You're using the numerical ratings: never do that.

        You're also comparing two very different testing methodologies when it comes to responsiveness, and RTings' response time testing for IPS - and pursuit photography for all LCD - can be ignored prior to v2.0.

        So while this new version is an upgrade, this price is meagre as a low-to-mid range QHD 165Hz monitor in 2025.

        You should expect better responsiveness and refresh rate for over $350, and I wouldn't touch this for more than $250 at this point given the mediocre response times and HDR presentation.

        As an example, expect to see QHD 240Hz mini-LED with an MSRP of $700-$749 launching this year, and QHD 240Hz and 360Hz OLED competing at that level also, with sales taking them below $500 (monitor MSRP has huge padding for manufacturing ramp).

        • ninnypoop on 07/02/2025 - 23:35

          What low to mid range monitors do you recommend?

          • jasswolf on 08/02/2025 - 01:21

            @ninnypoop: It depends: the models change every year, and the sales changes every other month.

            Pay attention to well reviewed monitors (response times and cumulative deviation charts, input lag, motion pursuit photography), or at least monitors where someone has done put pursuit photography shots/video on the web.

  • vid_ghost on 12/01/2025 - 10:27

    I paid $345 for the 32" version of this monitor with USB C display option.

    Got two of them :)

    I love this monitor. Granted it's my first high refresh rate screen, but i can't complain about anything EXCEPT the useless HDR.

      Hdr doesn't exist among budget monitor anyway.

      I also love it (apart from the crappy HDR).

    What’s happened to the G3223Q?

    It was out of stock for months on Dell’s website and now just says “unavailable”, possible a new
    Model is coming out?

    • vid_ghost on 12/01/2025 - 11:28

      Pretty sure its been discontinued they only sell the 4k one now. No stock after the ones in the below deal sold out.
      The HP 32" Omen or LG 32" 750 use the same 10 bit LG 32" QHD 400nit 165hz panels so just get one of those for the $420 asking price or when they go on sale for $350. The HP was on sale a few weeks ago on ebay 20% off for $346

      Yes I'm waiting for this to be back in stock too, worried that it's being phased out though and I've missed out on the deal..

  • KutchAu on 12/01/2025 - 11:10

    Interested what thoughts are for this versus e.g. the omen 27q which has been on and off available for $260-280 with coupon on ebay relatively reliably
    Rtings comparison
    Worth the nearly 50% price premium for what is still an entry level monitor?
    Especially if you are thinking of vesa mounting on an arm

    • bogak on 12/01/2025 - 11:21

      I had both, both returned. The blacks were horrible, the Dell's blacks just looked grey, the HP had bleed everywhere.

      • KutchAu on 12/01/2025 - 11:32

        What did you end up going for/are thinking about instead out of interest? I am wondering whether I spend more and get my 5-10 year monitor (have been eyeing off both of these models for a few months)

        • bogak on 12/01/2025 - 15:26

          Ended up with MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 for $850, never looked back. All these so called IPS gaming monitors all have very bad picture quality, especially the black. I came from a 24" TN panel which surprisingly had pretty good blacks and colour, and I just couldn't stand the disgusting blacks on these IPS monitors.
          I would totally advise to not get either of these models, they are just horrible, regardless of what RTings say, though I've heard Dell have changed the panel on the Dell G2724d and that is possibly why I hated mine so much.

            @bogak: Your issue is not that these new IPS gaming monitors have very bad picture quality its because you are looking at 6bit + FRC, 8 bit IPS panels. These are cheap and are not much better then normal 6bit panels with washed out colours and washed out blacks. Probably also low LED brightness.

            I only go for 10Bit panels either 8bit + FRC 10Bit panels or True 10bit panels
            They look so much better.
            Even the cheap $239 Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ1A 27" QHD IPS 1ms 170Hz G-Sync Monitor has a 8bit + FRC 10Bit panel

            The 32" QHD HP Omen and 32" QHD LG 750 that cost around $400 also both have 10bit panels 165Hz and 400nits brightness, They both look amazing and have great motion

            • bogak on 12/01/2025 - 16:39

              @vid_ghost: Thanks for that info, the problem is how are we supposed to know if these panels are 10bit or 8bit? doesn't specify that in any of the Tech Spec page on any of these monitors. FYI i game from a Acer Predator XB241H.

    Was looking at this monitor previously for PS5 gaming but ultimately decided against it.

    No audio out makes it more difficult to connect to external speakers without some messing around / additional converters / extractors.

    Can use headphones connected to the controller, however would need to wear 100% of the time.

  • notaccel on 12/01/2025 - 13:16

    Seems expensive when you can get the newer 180hz models (i.e. Lenovo R27QE) that out perform this for less

    • quvnphvm on 12/01/2025 - 13:30

      +1. Lenovo monitors would do the same for at least $50 less.

    • FiloGuy on 12/01/2025 - 14:02

      What are the other benefits of the Legion R27Qe over this model? Looking to replace my monitor

      • notaccel on 12/01/2025 - 14:19

        It's generally a better performing unit, little to no over/undershoot, very good colour accuracy in sRGB mode, pretty much best in class response times.

        Review of the unit here (in Malaysian, just click through to see the graphs/data)

        • FiloGuy on 12/01/2025 - 15:01

          Seems like a good deal. I wonder why reviewers aren't making notice of this monitor.
