    Gsync is worth the hype

    I originally had a 24in AOC 60hz 1080p monitor and was honestly content. On a whim, I ended up picking up one of these monitors on sale for $399. All I have to say is wow! The Gsync coupled with my 1080ti GPU is totally worth the hype! I am now able to run games on the ultra settings with almost lifelike video quality. Do yourself a favor and get one when they go on sale.

    If you have the hardware to take advantage of what this monitor has to offer, it is a great buy for the price range. 1440p and G-Sync , all with a high refresh rate are awesome. The colors are not bad either, love the darker blacks and contrast it offers.

    I read mixed reviews about this monitor before I bought it. For the price I could not pass it up. Bought 2 then decided to get a third for tri-monitor setup. Third one was an open box at an even lower price. Bottom line excellent gaming. 1080 gtx ti butter smooth at max settings. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    I'm very happy with this monitor. I was a little skeptical about it being a Dell. I'm running it with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 2080 video card. The refresh rate it's great and the vsync it's a plus. I recommend it if you are looking for a even alternative to LG and Sumsung.

    I want to start off by saying, this is a great monitor when it is working properly. 1440p, 1ms response time and 144Hz all for $600, what a deal! Now that has been said... I originally bought this monitor in September of 2017, and it worked great until May of 2018, when I got a dead pixel in the top right of the screen. Ok, not a huge deal, I bought the 4 year plan on it. So I got it replaced, and bought the plan again. It worked great again for a few months until November of 2018 when the HDMI port gave out. I didn’t really care too much because I mainly used the DisplayPort on it, HDMI was for my Xbox. Again I got it replaced. I am now writing this review, it is July on 2019 and I am going to be getting it replaced again for the DisplayPort causes a white line to appear going across the top of the screen (I tested the HDMI and it does not have the line, I also tested DisplayPort from my PC to another monitor and that worked fine, and even tried a new cable). I know it is the DisplayPort connection on the monitor. So in the past 2 years I will have replaced this monitor 3 times. Next time I will just get something else, which is unfortunate, because I’ll have to pay about $200 mor to get something like this.

    Got the monitor when it was 1/2 off and for the money it was totally worth it. Really nice picture (needs tweaking) I had a pixel that seemed dead but it came back the next day. Was sorta odd.

    Great 2k monitor w/Gsync

    I bought this 2nd monitor because I liked the first one so much. I have an RTX graphics card and this monitor has G-sync so it works great. 27" is more than enough for gaming coming in at 2k resolution. When I'm not gaming my wife uses the computer to work from home and she loves it. The monitors swivel side to side, tilt forward and back, moves up and down and can even go full vertical. Only down side is that the monitors dont come with built in speakers which to me doesn't matter since I game with headphones. I bought a Dell Soundbar for external sound.

    Having been very frustrated with what Microsoft does with Windows I moved to Linux years ago. I have lived with screen tearing in videos and clunky scrolling with nVidia GPUs and mediocre proprietary drivers. With G-sync technology on a 2K screen my woes are gone. I have a very clear smooth video experience and smooth scrolling with this monitor using G-sync. It costs a little more but what a return on my investment. Thank you Dell for a fantastic monitor!

    You get exactly what you think you will here. Dell quality and warranty, 1440p, 144Hz, and G-Sync.I was on the fence about this product, should I buy a TN or an IPS, is it worth it, what are some drawbacks? Well I got this monitor and I don't regret it one bit! There's no back light bleed like I've heard there might be with TN panels, and the viewing angles are good, I can't even really tell that it changes when I look around. The materials this monitor is made of are very sturdy and well made there's no bevel on the monitor. Do your homework on retailors, find the best price and Best Buy will match! Win Win.

    If you're looking at monitors and on the fence about this one, get this one. The colors are nothing short of amazing, especially after a little tweaking. This is also a true 8-bit panel, not a 6-bit with dithering to fake colors. Light bleed is very minimal, almost non-existent. You wouldn't know it was a TN panel unless you were told. I highly recommend getting this monitor, especially if it's on sale.

    Good picture quality but the display would not wake up when pc does. I took an open box and it looked ok till it was not returnable. Now, Dec 2020, in 3 years and + 8 month, the screen got busted and shows the constant white screen. After about 10 reboots, the screen finally shows the picture but the display has some sort of crack with the white rectangle on the left. There is no physical damage to it. Warranty is just 3 years. Was expecting more for a $400 display.
