Dell S2716DG alternative?

GGizmo · 14 Jun 2017 at 19:15

I was going to buy a second S2716DG monitor but the prices are sky rocketing it seems these days. I guess its the most successful monitor to still be making a profit. All very good, unless your just coming to the party now lol.

So I'm looking for a similar alternative monitor to that. What is the 2nd best monitor that is a reasonable price?

Can be had for £520 from quite a few places. Not gonna find lower then that. Ocuk price on the dell is just a joke. Even the rog swift pg278qr is £90 cheaper here, When normally the rog swift cost more then the dell

The alternatives are also around the £600 mark but the dell can be had for £520 like brit~XR has said i remember when these were £430 now prices are just ridiculous.

I am looking at one of these del monitors, I can get one for £520...are they any good...also looking at the Acer Predator XB271HUAbmiprz...which would be the better...or are there any others you would suggest

Congrats you'll love it - check the web for a set of RGB and gamma for your revision, as its made a world of difference to mine.

About a year ago I paid £480 for mine, brand new for the mk3 revision. Not from OCUK. Great monitor!

They're really great, to be honest, I've had one for a month now. Once you get the thing calibrated (very washed out OOB), you will be more than happy.

Griff7520 · 22 Jun 2017 at 16:37

got any good settings for it....colours not brill at the moment

Dr Delphi · 22 Jun 2017 at 18:15

What rev is it and I'll look for some settings

Are you 100% certain that it's A05? If so, you're the very first person who would have that revision!

Griff7520 · 23 Jun 2017 at 20:19

yea...that's what it says on the handbook

Griff7520 · 23 Jun 2017 at 20:39

and tbh...not very impressed with the colour on it at the moment...been trying all kinds of settings from all over the net...but maybe as this is a new version maybe nothing out there yet
