    Overall, this monitor is awesome. The WHD resolution is super sharp and the G-Sync functionality made gaming super smooth. First off, I had to return it. Unfortunately, to upscale the games I play (pubg, ghost recon, squads) to 1440p resolution resulted in a siginificant drop in frames per second, from an average of around 140 to about 90. Not a huge deal, but for me a deal breaker. I tried knocking the monitor resolution down to 1080, but that resulted in pixelation and frame/back light stutter. This is 100% not the fault of the monitor, but I’m not looking to spend another $800 to get a GTX-1080 to play these games at 140+ FPS at 1440. Other wise this is a gorgeous monitor that I would love to have as an editing monitor, and for anyone with a GPU that can handle the resolution at high FPS, totally worth it. All of the materials have a weight to them that give the impression of a high quality build. For the price (I got it on sale for $469) this is perfect for the novice-intermediate gamer.

    The only monitor I could find in 4K that was 144 Hz, HDR and G-sync was almost $2000. For gaming resolutions under 4K (1440p or 1080p) this monitor is the absolute best. Time to upgrade my graphics card again...ugh

    After some in-depth research regarding gaming monitors I decided this Dell gaming monitor offered more bang for the buck than a similar Alienware monitor. I'm very pleased with my purchase and i am patiently waiting for another great sale on this monitor to purchase a second one for my Alienware Aurora gaming system. The G-Sync technology offers unrivaled response time when used in conjunction with my NVIDIA Founders Edition GTX GeForce1070 video card. I strongly recommend this monitor to any serious gamer or graphics person.

    Great monitor for gamer GSYNC could be configured to activate the refresh rate up to 144hz . This monitor could also be used by professional. I waited for the price to go down to purchase this monitor and be considered of value.

    This monitor looks really good for a TN panel! I recommend calibrating it with Windows' calibrator with the monitor in "Standard" mode and factory preset. It's side angle viewing isn't too bad at all. The blacks are very good as long as you view it in a lit room (It's bad for your eyes to view a screen in the dark anyways),but if you like a dark room however, not so great. The stand is really good. This part really freaked me out, I thought I needed to return it but it turns out to be a G-sync thing, not a monitor thing: occasional "folded" appearance down the center of the screen. Just turn it off and back on again. It only happened to me once so far since I had it. Maybe that will save you some hair if you come across it.

    At least in my budget. It made for a great gift at the price that it is at now. Amazing refresh rate especially if you have a Nvidia card, with the GSync tech. Overall great buy and very satisfied.

    Good price, size with g sync. Bad being that it is not HDR enabled, but the 2560x1440 matched with 144 hz makes GTA V at max settings on a GTX 1070 look great even with out the bright HDR colors.

    Best Monitor I've Ever Owned

    I love this monitor. The 27 inch screen is ideal for gaming. The screen on the Dell - 27" LED QHD G Sync Monitor is perfect. I wasn't sure if I should go for a bigger 4k monitor or try this one. No regrets. On a 27 inch 2k looks fine. The best part was getting a $599 G-sync monitor for the sale price of $349. I should have purchased two of them.

    Got this during Black Friday sale at 350. This was very worth it. Great graphics for gaming and entertainment. Smooth gsync with 144 FPS is just a great experience in any game you play. Provided you have a good graphics card. The monitor rotates and turns easily and is very convenient for someone who likes to sit and watch from different angels.

    It's a major difference coming from a 1080p 144hz with no gsync. Nice size and fully adjustable. Got it for 380$ on black Friday after taxes.

    Don't worry that it's not an ips it has an amazing picture once you mess with the settings. G sync is awesome. I have a gtx 1070 an it runs every game I throw at it in 1440p well over 60fps. For the price this is an amazing buy

    Why is this monitor great? It's because of 144hz, G-Sync, low latency response time and 27 inch (should be a standard tbh), I got pretty lucky to get a perfect QC monitor with no problems. I bought the freesync version of this monitor (not from best buy) but had a stuck pixel within a couple days so I had to get it replaced. Dell was nice about it, they sent me 2 replacements but even those had problems. I now have this monitor and I'm super happy I bought it from Best Buy. Curious to know why? Perfect quality control. If this monitor had a problem I could just come back the next day to the store and they would help me get a replacement, otherwise I just ask for a refund.

    This monitor offers great features for gamers, but it is definitely not your best option out there. It might be one of the best TN panels you can get, but that's not saying much compared to IPS panels with the same refresh rate at 144Hz. However, the price difference between a TN panel and an IPS panels are pretty steep. This monitor is smooth with it's refresh rate and G-sync capability, but doesn't have the greatest image quality and isn't great for color accuracy. My verdict: if you're looking for a really good gaming monitor for under $500 (I got mine for $400) and don't need the color accuracy for things like editing pictures or videos then this is a great option. Especially if you catch it on sale. I saw it on sale here for $350 at one point.

    I bought this monitor to replace a 1080p asus monitor I've had for years. It looks great and my games run smooth. I mainly use it for gaming but it works fine for photoshop and other things as well.
