Dell S2716 DG or alternative.

[Wang]

Hi people.

I have the chance of buying this monitor for £360 direct from Dell (with my NHS discount). Is this worth going for or is there a better alternative? I'm prepared to pay a little more (probably up to £450) but need it to be at least 27"(no bigger than 32"), 144Hz, 2560x1440 (not 4k, only have a 1070 GTX), G Sync (or g Sync compatible Freesync).

Any ideas?

It's like the DGF only it has "real" G-Sync. I bought mine for £380 2 weeks ago.

What monitor did you come from and how have you found it? I'm upgrading from an old Dell U2311 IPS panel.

I was considering this model until someone recommend the Dell S2719DGF.
It's a newer monitor than the DG but isn't officially G-Sync certified BUT all reviewers have said it works perfectly as a G-Sync monitor when you enable the settings.
The one thing that turned me away from the Dell 2716DG was how many people said the matt finish on the screen was horrible and you could really see it....

The 2719DGF can be bought for as low as £349.99 currently

With my NHS discount I can get the DGF for £327. Not sure whether to wait and stump up a bit extra for the LG 27GL850-B or the LG 32GK850-F. Both seem to have HDR support which whilst not being essential, would be a small bonus and the LG 27" is an IPS screen which I believe is the most desirable choice of panel.
