Hello guys, new member here in this forum and I would like to share something, and hear your advice
I initially ordered S2721DGFA from Dell's website on Nov, 16 and can't accept the estimated 2 months delay, so I bought an Acer VG272UV two weeks ago, and I just noticed my S2721DGFA has been shipped today.
the panel used on S2721DGFA is LM270WQA-SSA2 from LG, a newer revision model than the SSA1 which was used on GL850, which explained the contrast difference between these two models
98% DCI-P3 coverage, fast response time, DP1.4 support, the only down side is the 850:1 contrast
As for my currently using VG272UV: 2k 170hz, the panel is M270DAN06.6 from AUO, the same panel used on Acer predator XB273UGS. Excellent panel with 95% DCI-P3 coverage, Quantum dot technology, even faster response time than the S2721DGF(A), higher contrast (1000+:1)
The SINGLE drawback, or the achilles' heel for this monitor, is that the anti-glare coating on this panel was a bit more "grainy", especially on a pure white background.
I was a little bit uncomfortable at the beginning, but now I sort of adopted to it. But I'm still planning to compare S2721DGFA with my VG272UV to see if S2721DGFA has this issue as well (from what I learnt online, it should not be the case), and hopefully make my final choice which monitor to reserve.
Also, VG272UV has build-in sRGB mode to clamp down the gamut to avoid oversaturation issue, while S2721DGFA does not have. I will see if the driver provided by dell can solve this issue
TL;DR, here are the pros & cons for these two monitors:
S2721DGFA (LM270WQA-SSA2)
+ DP1.4 (able to enable 10 bit, 2k, 165hz at the same time)
+ 98% DCI-P3 (although it means more saturated red color)
+ Better CS
- No built-in sRGB mode
- Lower contrast (850:1)
- Possibly inconsistent backlight (warm on left and cold on right)
VG272UV (M270DAN06.6)
+ 170hz
+ Quantum dot
+ Faster response time
+ Higher contrast (1000+:1)
- Slightly grainy looking anti-glare coating
- DP1.2
What do you guys think?
side info:
I just missed the 14 days return period for my VG272UV so if decided to reserve S2721DGFA I might have to sell it on ebay, and I'm not sure how long does it take to sell it in typical situation.
