Ansonsten ein sehr guter Monitor der mir jetzt ausreichend Platz zum arbeiten bietet und das zoggen kommt natrlich auch nicht zu kurz. Diese ist um lngen besser als auf meinen 28 Zoll Monitor den ich vorher hatte. Kann den Dell nur empfehlen.
Com uma entrada HDMI e uma tomada, vc tem todo espao de tela que deseja.
Eu consigo dividir a tela, colocando janelas que eu quero ver organizadas.
A tela curva me ajuda na ergonomia e na viso. No tem que ficar girando muito a cabea pra tudo que lado pra olhar todos os monitores.
A qualidade da imagem excelente.
Ich nutze den Monitor fr Gaming und zum arbeiten im Homeoffice.
Wer gerne die Splitscreen Funktion nutzt, wird hier Freude daran haben.
Der Bildschirm hat keine Lautsprecher, was mich persnlich nicht strt. Ich habe hier meine ext. PC-Lautsprecher per 3,5mm Klinke verbunden.
Aus meiner Sicht ein toller Allrounder, fr die Arbeit und frs Gaming !!!
Buenos colores, buen contraste y brillo. El HDR, no me fo mucho, necesitara muchos ms nits para considerarse buen hdr.
Mi nico problema es que vena con un subpixel muerto, me d cuenta mucho despus de comprarlo, pero a esta resolucin y densidad de pixeles apenas se nota
Sorry for my first comment. The monitor is working well and my appologies. Its my fault on not trying it first and connecting in the computer and changing the settings. I just rely on the 60 hz wriiten in the box. I requested for a refund and it was approved, but I decided to keep it. My sincerely appology.
Da er mir aber sonst von der Bildqualitt berzeugt, behalte ich ihn. Nun bin ich aber auf der Suche nach externen Lautsprechern die ich anschlieen kann.
Als Ausgang ist eine Line-out Buchse vorhanden. Von Dell selber gibt es keinen Lautsprecher, welchen man als externen anschlieen knnte.
Ich hatte auch was von Bluetooth gelesen, dies kann der Monitor scheinbar auch nicht verarbeiten.
Schade eigentlich fr solch einen schnen Monitor.
At the time of purchase this was the cheapest 32″ 4K 144Hz monitor available. The display comes in a solid chassis and my panel had good uniformity with no dead or stuck pixels. Has decent connectivity but is lacking some features such as USB-C, KVM, and BFI that can be found on more expensive displays.
Colour accuracy is excellent however it does have typical IPS foibles such as IPS glow, grey-ish blacks, low contrast and mediocre HDR; all of which are a limitation of the technology rather than a fault with this monitor. For my mixed use it’s fine but if you’re using it mostly for gaming or media consumption then I would consider spending more and going OLED.
Overall, it’s a good monitor for the money but be prepared to accept some shortcomings.
I’m using this from 5 months. It had no issues at all. Excellent quality
Very well built and sturdy, easy to put together. I use it for gaming and has a very clear picture and very vibrant with an easy to use toggle to adjust brightness etc. deffo recommend
Its good for gaming, but its also pretty good for work. For the first time in my life I didn’t need to create a custom profile of settings to get the I want to see. It was perfect out of the box.
Eigentlich wollte ich keinen Curved haben, jedoch gewhnt man sich nach einiger Zeit daran. Und bei solch einem Schnapper berlegt man nicht lange und muss es natrlich ausprobieren 😉
Wichtig war mir mindestens 144Hz, WQHD, 27″ und Hhenverstellbar.
Es ist ein sehr gut verarbeiteter Monitor und mit DELL macht man in der Regel auch nie etwas falsch. Die Helligkeit ist bei meinem Gert standardmig auf 75% eingestellt, welches ich bisher auch nie gendert habe, lediglich 1x auf 100% um zu testen, jedoch bentige ich das nicht.
Was hier negativ bewertet wird von wegen “Rotstich”… Liebe Leute, vielleicht einfach mal “ComfortView” ein, bzw. ausschalten… Aber es ist ja einfacher eine negative Bewertung zu schreiben als sich mit der Technik auseinanderzusetzen.
Das “Downlight” ist echt nett, muss aber auch nicht sein. Passt aber zur blauen Tastatur. Ich steh nicht auf diesen “bling bling Firlefanz”, jedoch ist das in Ordnung, da es dezent ist. Aber kann man ja zum Glck auch ausschalten, genau wie die weie LED vom Powerknopf. Alles in allem durchdacht.
Fazit, ich wrde wieder einen Dell Monitor kaufen, aber ob es wieder ein Curved sein wird ist unklar. Auch wenn ich mich nach all den Monaten daran gewhnt habe, ist es dennoch ein Unterschied. Aber das ist ja bekanntlich Geschmackssache. Alles in allem ist es eine super Bildqualitt!
I’m currently using it for my Xbox and 120 fps is amazing!
This display is easily the best display Iv ever set my eyes on , it can get bright if you want it too, option menu got most of what you need but lacks some of the gimmicks but honestly this display outputs stunning colours and looks fantastic, the 165hz is nice aswell if your gpu got the horse power to max it. HDR is okay ish , it’s fake hdr but in all fairness it’s somewhat HDR it’s not really needed though because it puts out amazing colours , best monitor Iv ever owned and so far no complaints , definitely recommend, it’s on par or better than some of the best 1440p 165hz monitors out there
Really pleased with this monitor, great picture and refresh rate at a bargain price. The menu is intuitive and the stand it comes with is brilliant, although I have mine mounted on an arm. Would highly recommend.
Das Design des Monitors ist sehr ansprechend. Es ist schlank und modern und passt perfekt in mein Setup. Die Einstellungen sind einfach zu ndern und ich konnte den Monitor schnell an meine Bedrfnisse anpassen.
Ein weiterer Vorteil des Dell Gaming Monitors ist, dass er ein schnelles Reaktionsvermgen hat. Ich habe keine Verzgerung oder Ruckeln bemerkt, was groartig ist, wenn man schnell auf nderungen im Spiel reagieren muss.
Das einzige negative Feedback, das ich geben wrde, ist, dass der Monitor etwas schwer ist und es schwierig war, ihn alleine zu bewegen. Aber das ist ein kleines Problem, wenn man bedenkt, wie gro der Monitor ist.
I was a bit reluctant to have something curved at first but now I’ve got it I love it! It’s really well made and the picture quality is excellent. For me it came pretty much set up out of the box. It runs games like Call of Duty and Overwatch (superb refresh rate) and Skyrim and Sons of the Forest (the colours are amazing) all with equal quality.
Star Citizen looks fantastic and I’m just waiting on a steering wheel now to try a driving sim!
Good for PC gaming. Some issues on PS5 with shadows making them seem red and grainy. PC gaming has no problems what so ever. Would’ve liked an MPRT feature but for the price and the fact it’s 165Hz you can’t complain.
Only had it a couple of months but working perfectly.
malgr le reglage adequat de windows et l’audio 100% dans le parametrage de l’cran
Aucun son ne sort des haut parleur de l’cran
Pour viter d’accuser une sortie hdmi de l’ordinateur obsolte , je prcise que sur mon ancien cran HP connect en hdmi aussi le son passait corrrectement dan les haut parleur.
A part ajouter des hp externes Y a t-il une solution pour que les hp de l’cran fonctionne
I have to say that before then, I had contacted Amazon Customer Service and had the worst experience that I have ever had and that is one of the reasons I decided it was easier to keep the monitor than to argue with the “Advisor”. This monitor was supplied by Amazon but sold by one of their partners.
I have left the monitor on its’ supplied settings at the minute, running at 144Hz and am very pleased with the screen quality, text and photos look great. The next job is to run some high graphics games. Providing the monitor lasts longer than the warranty, I will be well pleased with it.
This monitor has soo much screen space. Makes games more intense and work more productive.
Screen controls are arey to navigate using the little joystick and buttons.
Stand is very robust and stable.
Perfect monitor for 1440p gaming. Super fast response time and 0 ghosting.
The only 2 issues I have… the build quality is not great, very flimsy flexible plastic and the HDR is terrble uses a weird backlighting method that makes the image flicker.
I’d previously been using a screen as a secondary device when using my laptop, this screen has changed that to the point I’m now using this as my primary. It took a little bit of effort to get setup (work laptop was missing nvidia control panel and windows wasn’t able to set the correct resolution) but now its all configured it’s ace. I found the software for the screen really useful to, the quick snapping of windows into configurable segments is a big time saver. Like having 3 screens in 1!
Honestly, could not be happier! it looks fantastic, easy to install, came with everything I would need for my pc setup and the quality is top tier!
I got it for an amazing price because the delivery was estimated to be from 2 weeks up to 2 months at the time, not sure why but no complaints from me. And on top of that it even came early!
Great specs, you wont get a better curved 1440p 165hz monitor at this price range
Has to be overclocked to achieve the 165hz speed but it is excellent just at 144hz. Picture quality is great although I haven’t tested it fully on FPS games so far.
No ghosting issues noticed on the VA panel.
Response times fantastic.
Use this mainly for gaming. Been great for that, only downside is HDR but that’s pretty overated and only good on very pricey products. this is great for its price, amazing value
There are several amazing traits to this monitor, but all you really need to know is that you won’t get a better all-rounder for your money in the current market. Virtually every other monitor that outperforms this unit suffers another major drawback; be it price, poor colour accuracy/vibrance, or a slow response time.
This monitor competes with the likes of the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD and the LG 27GP850 while costing approximately 100+ less, practically all of the time.
This monitor is recommended by so many reviewers and after trying it myself, I can only reinforce their claims.
Pros:
– Picture quality is outstanding with a 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution, squeezed into a 27″ screen-space. This amounts to a pixel density of 109ppi (pixels per inch). For context, that’s about the same as a 40″ 4K display
– Phenomenal colour performance which is excellent for gaming and suitable for light colour critical workloads
– Gameplay feels blisteringly quick with a 165hz refresh rate and a response time that competes with TN panels, without the muted colours that come with TN displays
– No stuttering or screen tearing with BOTH Nvidia G-Sync AND AMD Freesync Premium Pro
– Price to performance is outstanding, this monitor should be in the 500 category
– Ergonomics and design, design is minimalist making it ideal for any aesthetic. Includes a vibrant blue LED (can be disabled in OSD) on the back that adds a nice premium touch to an otherwise “sleeper” monitor
Cons:
– Out-of-box colour performance can be a little oversaturated, which can make your whites look slightly yellow and skin tones look slightly red or tanned – this can be fixed through calibration but unless you do colour-sensitive work, I’d recommend just doing a search for DELL S2721DGFA colour settings and playing about with some other user’s recommendations. Every panel is different, but the settings shouldn’t vary too heavily.
– HDR performance is lacklustre but the same is true for the vast majority of displays on the market, it’s really just a marketing buzzword to encourage sales and while disappointing that it’s not well implemented, this should NOT deter you, because unless you buy a professional display for colour work or video editing, or an extremely expensive OLED display, you won’t get good HDR performance anyway.
– Some units make experience IPS glow or Backlight bleed, which can cause some areas of the display to glow during dark scenes or moments in games. My unit does have a little backlight bleed in the lower right corner, but I honestly only notice it when I’m actually looking for it.
To summarise, although this monitor does have some extremely minor cons, the pros FAR outweigh them. This monitor is an absolute bargain for the price so just buy it, you won’t be disappointed!
I bought this to replace a broken monitor. It’s good, but the one criticim I’d make is that the instructions are poor. I would have liked to know that I needed to press the tiny button (joy stick really) to enter the monitor’s menu and engage the correct PC connection.
Nach langem Gebrauch mit zwei Bildschirmem habe ich mir nach Defekt dieser (Acer, innerhalb von einem Monat, beide defekt) einen 34 Zoll, curved Monitor , als Ersatz ausgesucht. Ich kannte die Qualitt von Dell Computern und Bildschirmen aus der Firma.
Beim auspacken fiel mir sofort die erwartete gute Qualitt auf. Alles sieht wertig und stylisch aus. Kein Firlefanz. Die Montage des Monitors auf den Standfu war einfach und der Fu hlt den schon recht ausladenden Monitor sehr gut.
Dass verbinden der Kabel mit dem Computer gestaltete sich aber sehr schwierig.
Die Anschlubuchsen befinden sich unten und werden nach oben eingesteckt. Ich habe zuerst versucht die Kabel so von hinten einzustecken. Aber keine Chance die Kabel nach Gefhl einzustecken. Also den Monitor nach vorne auf den Bildschirm gekippt. Hatte dabei kein gutes Gefhl, aber letztendlich hat es geklappt. Man sollte aber dann schon alle Buchsen (z.B USB) mit Kabeln belegen.
Den Bildschirm habe ich an meiner Nvidia geforce gtx 1050 Grafikkarte ber ein DisplayPort Kabel (DP) angeschlossen.
Nach der Montage habe ich den Computer gestartet, zwei empfohlene Dateien fr Display heruntergeladen und hatte sofort ein annehmbares Bild.
Ich bin kein Fachmann, aber mir hat es gereicht. Auer Helligkeit und Kontrast konnte ich nichts, das Bild verbesserndes, ber das Men einstellen.
Das aufrufen und einstellen des Menus lsst sich gut mittels Joystick bedienen, obwohl der sich hinten befindet.
Ein weiteres Manko fr mich war, dass ich eigentlich keinen Bildschirm haben wollte, der “Made in China” ist . Aber auch bei einem Dell steht ganz gro “Made in China drauf” !! Htte ich nicht gedacht. Dazu kommt dann noch der grottenschlechte Dell-Support. Auf den Supportseiten von Dell kommt man ber die Links immer wieder auf die selben Seiten. Z.B um eine Deutsche Beschreibung zu bekommen. Die Antworten ber Mail sind auch nicht hilfreich. Z.b. fngt meine Garantie schon 2 Monate vor meinem Kauf an. Antwort von Dell:
Das Monitor wurde bei Dell am 16.08.2022, vielleicht haben Sie vom dritten Anbieter bestellt am 11 Oktober 2022.
Ich mchte und kann den Monitor nicht schlechtreden. Ich bin mit dem Monitor bis jetzt, sehr zufrieden und wrde Ihn auch weiter empfehlen. Ich denke in der Preisklasse gibt es nicht viel, grundlegend besseres.
Wenn es kein Chinaprodukt wre und dafr dann wenigstens ein guter Support htte ich 5 Sterne gegeben. So gibt es einen weniger.
his monitor is just brilliant. for the money you are spending the picture quality is miles better than i could have imagined.
i play FPS games (COD, overwatch 2 and apex) this monitor makes the image look crisp and clean!
Dj, pour changer de d’habitude, il est fourni avec une panopelie de cbles. a parait bte mais mon Benq 550 que j’avais avant avait t livr sans le moindre cable part ceux pour l’alimentation, et ce prix ils pourraient quand mme inclure un cble DP.
Niveau alim aussi, rien redire. Pas de brique externe qu’on doit cacher sous le bureau.
La qualit de l’image rivalise avec mon cran IPS qui trone cot. Pas de backlight bleed, pas le moindre problme. 144Hz fonctionnel.
Le seul “souci” que j’ai c’est de m’habituer au format 21:9 qui n’est pas compatible avec pas mal de jeux inds ou plus anciens, mais a peut tre rgl via des logiciels tiers tels que DisplayFusion et de toute faon a ne remet aucunement en cause l’excellente qualit de cet cran.
Overall, this Monitor is fabulous to look at. The 4K, 144Hz display is incredible to game on and I’m happy with it for my gaming. For content creation purposes, I can appreciate the extra screen real estate as the monitor really benefits from 125% scaling on Windows. More analysis below:
Out-The-Box colour calibration is acceptable but the display’s contrast ratio is too low – blacks appear more grey. For HDR users: It has a decent peak brightness but the blacks are just too grey for me to call the HDR satisfactory – look for another product.
The monitor settings are intuitive to navigate and I’m able to remap 3 of the monitor’s buttons – I set mine to quickly switch between input sources and toggle Picture-In-Picture (PiP) mode on/off. PiP can display 2 inputs at once (e.g. a PS5 on HDMI and a PC on DisplayPort) which I was excited to try but this locks the monitor to 60Hz which was disappointing. You can arrange how PiP displays the 2 inputs (corner, side-by-side, etc.).
The monitor settings also boasts a “Response Time” setting (Fast/Super Fast/Extreme) BUT increasing it past the lowest setting (Fast) results in horrific ghosting which was unacceptable.
P.S: Amazon initially sent me a faulty monitor. I observed it had already been opened when it was delivered to me as there was no tape sealing it from being opened. The panel would not display anything – not even the monitor’s settings (input source, brightness/contrast, etc.) or “NO SIGNAL” windows. I contacted Amazon support and the next day UPS picked up the faulty monitor and a replacement was delivered. Happy to say this new one works swimmingly – just please be be observant when you receive yours to ensure that it’s TRULY “new” and not an already opened product. I have not factored this incident into my review as these things can happen and it was dealt with perfectly.
The quality is a major upgrade to what I had before. Video games look amazing in 2k and play smoothly. The colors also are amazing for movie nights and large resolution is decent enough to do creative work and work with many tabs at once.
Nothing to complain about at all apart from it should come with a spirit level cos getting it level lol had to measure the left and right corner distance to my desk. by eye it’s impossible !
In sede lavoro con un Dell U3419W e lo trovavo stupendo (stessa risoluzione, ma 60 Hz) per un lavoro d’ufficio (no videogiochi, no multimedia).
Il Dell U3419W si trova a un prezzo superiore ai 900 euro.
Poi ho trovato questo monitor a quasi la met del prezzo. Ero un po’ in dubbio: quale differenza conta circa 400 euro di differenza?
Altro dubbio: il Dell U3419W veniva inteso da ufficio, mentre questo pubblicizzato per il gaming. Andr bene per quello che mi serve?
Fatte un po’ di ricerche su internet, questo monitor risultava ottimo, quindi l’ho comprato.
Risultato?
Ottimo!
Lettura: mi trovo benissimo, anzi la nitidezza nel leggere testo migliore del Dell U3419W.
HDMI/DisplayPort: anche solo la versione HDMI ottima. I 60 Hz (anzi, 50 Hz sul Mac) sono piu’ che sufficienti: l’esperienza di un classico monitor. Ho comunque preso un cavo di conversione DisplayPort->Usb-c e ho raggiunto i 144Hz. Che dire? Ottimo! La differenza si vede nella fluidit (anche se ne potrebbe far a meno nell’ambito di lavori da ufficio).
Comodit: il sostegno e’ stabile, i movimenti per aggiustare la posizione sono fluidi, facili, senza il minimo scricchiolio.
Youtube e multimedia: si vedono splendidamente.
I use this as part of a dual monitor setup, one of my monitors is the Dell S2721QS 4K 60Hz display, and together with this QHD 165Hz it creates the perfect setup. I use the other monitor as my main monitor for work, then this is perfect for gaming. This monitor has the best looking stand, it looks very robust (better than the other monitor) and the back design looks cool without being over the top. The response time is brill, which is great for FPS’s like CoD. You can never go wrong with buying Dell.
For the price this monitor out performs most. I paired this with an Xbox series x and pc. Graphics look amazing, and is slightly bigger than my previous monitor but I like the change. The buttons on the screen took time to get used to the different functions, as I was too lazy to look at the manual. To get the most from the series x you need to change some setting on the monitor itself as well as the Xbox.
I do have some minor gripes with it though. I found the inputs and outputs to be difficult to reach being on the underside and not on the back, and I experienced some minor stuttering in some games with freesync enabled. Apparently this monitor is quite particular when it come to frame timing in freesync/G-sync mode. Just keep that in mind when partnering this monitor with a GPU. I suggest looking up the Rtings.com review for more information on this.
Other than that this is one of the better ultrawide gaming monitors on the market today IF you are on a budget, and I can’t stress this last part enough. If you’re like me and you’re “sensitive” to things like black level smearing, ghosting and input lag I’d suggest you save up some extra money and get a high end monitor. After all, a monitor is basically the most important part of your whole system. It converts all the power of your system into a moving image and if that image is not good it’s a waste of graphical power.
Simply put, if you have a budget gaming build, a budget monitor is fine. If you have a high end gaming rig, get a high end monitor.
It is interesting that this monitor was 299 from Amazon (Dell Store) yet 376 direct from Dell).
Why did I choose Dell?
Simply put, although there are a huge number of competitive monitors available at reasonable prices and similar specs (Gigabyte, LG, BenQ to name a few), I went for Dell simply because in the past I’ve used many Dell Ultrasharps which have been outstanding quality, totally reliable, never ever any issues. My old company (Solar Gas Turbines part of Caterpillar Inc) always used Dell (laptops & monitors) and they’re not going to choose something that gives problems.
I’ve connected a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to DisplayPort cable between one of the native M1 ports and the Dell. This is the “USB C to DisplayPort Cable 1.8m, WARRKY USBC to Display Port Lead (4K@60Hz, 2K@165Hz, 2K@144Hz)”, chosen for wide frequency operation – even though I don’t use games.
Out of the box the Dell is running 2560×1440 @ 165Hz.
My main monitor for my Win10 Dell M6800 laptop is a super brilliant Dell U2715H, very similar spec to the S2721DGFA, but is much more expensive, so I didn’t want to spend so much money on another 2715. The differences are marginal:
– The 2715 has more ports
– Both are the same resolution, same physical size. Same pixel density.
– The S2721DGFA has better colour space accuracy (e.g., sRGB, Adobe etc), better contrast & brightness characteristics.
My main purpose is for Photo scanning and editing, hence I need a decent size (27″) with high resolution and accurate colour rendition.
The photos show the same picture, with plenty of different colours, on the Dell & native MacBook screen (default ICCs).
What I’m particularly pleased about is that the same photo appears identical, in colour, on all my devices, M1, iPad, iPhone & Dell M6800 (Win10 with external Dell U2715H monitor).
This will give me confidence that any work I do on my negative & slide scans (I have about 3,000 to do going back 40 years) will yield consistent and accurate results – what I see on the M1 with S2721DGFA will be seen the same on my phone, tablet and other people’s devices, without having to recourse to expensive hardware colour calibration tools.
The range of ports on the S2721DGFA covers me if and when I connect another device (e.g. old MacBook Pro or Win10 laptop) either simultaneously with the M1 or independent of the M1 using either DP, HDMI or USB.
I would not hesitate to buy the same again should my trusty 8 year old U2715H decides enough is enough.
For it’s price it’s perfect
But…there are way better monitors out there.
I was expecting it to have a screen like some good TVs have or like the iPhone retina display.
Colors are very nice though but still not the image quality of a 4K TV
Before the review, here’s my custom-built computer specification that I use with the Dell S3422DWG 34 if you guys are curious…
Asus Sabertooth i7 mobo
Intel Core i7 6700K
32GB DDR4
NVMe 1TB SSD
Nvidia GTX 1660Ti 6GB (using DisplayPort 1.2)
Now, onto the review…
Spent weeks researching for the best all-rounder WQHD monitor. Remember, that WQHD means 3440×1440 not 2560×1440. BE CAREFUL, many so called WQHD monitors are actually 2560×1440! Some of the big names like Samsung etc, adverted WQHD as 2560×1440, which is false!
This, Dell S3422DWG 34 inch monitor is fantastically beautiful and so sharp/bright/colourful. The text looks so sharp and readable. I was blown away and still am.
Don’t get carried away with AMD Free-sync or Nvidia G-Sync hype… as long as you are using DisplayPort (DP) version 1.2 or higher cable with a good graphic card like mine (Nvidia GTX 1660Ti), the quality of gameplay at 30, 60 or 120fps, simply astonishing because of the 144hz refresh rate. Zero flickers, blurs etc.
Playing Doom 2016, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier, Sniper Warrior 3, Amnesia, racing games, Max Payne 3 and many more. Great experience and zero disappointments.
You may wonder the difference between TN, IPS and VA panel type displays. IPS panel type looks good from all angles, but poor low contrast ratio and suffer from “IPS glow”. This, Dell S3422DWG, a VA panel type display doesn’t suffer because of the natural curvature of the monitor. The curvature what makes this monitor looks good from all angles. So the VA vs IPS panel type argument is practically moot. Plus, the 3000 to 1 contrast ratio boost gives that deep black without being wash-out. The refresh rate is equally as good as the IPS panel type.
I’ve included few screenshots, plus a video clip playing Ghost Recon, Future Soldier
Overall, a beautiful Dell WQHD monitor and thanks to the supplier for deliver the exact item I wanted.
If you guys need to ask me anything I’ll be happy to help. Thank you
Amazon rocks!
Well I have owned the monitor for about 3 months now and wanted to see how I get on with it.
First thing I will add is it does suffer from light bleed and its very notable in dark rooms , I have found that using this monitor with the light on in my room at night works best.
Colours are nice out the box .
I mainly purchased this screen for the 165hz speeds and its safe to say it works fantastic and has defiantly made me a better FPS player. and thats the main reason why you buy this monitor anyway.
The Bad : Few issues I am getting , from time to time the screen will just go black for a few seconds not sure what causes this but can be a bit of a pain… maybe a software issue or the fact I have 2 other screens hooked up who knows . For the money its worth it.
Great screen and you wont be disappointed with it.
It has:
1440p Resolution
165Hz refresh
Freesync and G-Sync compatible
HDR, whilst not mind blowing it is noticeable if you come from an older 1080p SDR monitor. I don’t use the windows HDR feature as its garbage but more games now can auto switch to HDR mode. I haven’t watched any HDR movies yet but I have tested with Resident evil 2 remake and Resident evil village and it looks great with RTX on.
Size of the screen is ample
OSD features are easy to navigate
Built in USB hub which I use for my keyboard and mouse
height, tilt and swivel adjustable stand (amazing for ergonomics)
It has an LED strip built in the back, I don’t know if you can disable this and its a bit “gamery” for me
In conclusion from the monitors I have used over the years including cheaper supposedly 4k HDR monitors that cost less, this is the one to buy. When I can afford a second I will be replacing my second acer 1440p monitor with another one of these.
Looked all over for a monitor that was 1440p IPS and could do 120hz over HDMI for the Xbox series S. This and the BenQ came up and after several comparisons videos/threads this seem to be better. Although I came from a Xbox one (original) and a 1080p TN monitor the combination of the new Xbox graphics and a 1440p monitor are pretty impressive. I predominantly play FPS call of duty/warzone and so having 120hz was a must. The ange feels very snappy and smooth and I do not notice any latency at all. Combine that with pretty impressive graphics and I’m very satisfied.
The monitor settings are pretty straight forward to set up and the monitor features presets for games like FPS which increase brightness in the shadow areas which I tend to use mostly. I suppose it’s a little pricey but I’m quite happy to invest in something that is of fairly high quality and hopefully will last for a good while. Monitor looks quite smart and has ability to move up and down or even rotate if you wish. blue LED at the back is a nice touch also. Would recommend.
