Dell S2716DG - Dells first G-sync

KillBoY_UK · 28 Aug 2015 at 09:26

$800 G-sync DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4, four USB 3.0 ports but probably a TN panel. Still its a start i would, really like a ips gsycn with Dells good build quality, monitor warranty and RMA service.

YES! Finally a step in the right direction.

Will wait for Dell IPS G-sync now.

Agree, my DELLs have been faultless and I feel much better than the reports I've read of Acer/Asus. I'll be keeping an eye on this!

Wow, did not think Dell would take a step into the high refresh and variable sync rate gaming market - very interesting!

Gunda · 28 Aug 2015 at 12:24

very interesting, i wonder how long it will take before Overclockers has these in stock

Nice, I do love Dell's warranty. Not that i'm planning to sell my ROG Swift anytime soon mind

I noticed it says.. Nvidia’s G-Sync Gen II support.. anybody know what is different ?

Aurhinius · 28 Aug 2015 at 15:26

Watching this closely as want dell gsync. Also wondering what gen 2 is. Also if gen 1 can be firmwared to gen to as it is a fpga on the gsync board

I think G-sync II is just the improved version of G-sync which works with windowed mode, whereas previously it was full screen only.

And also additional inputs can be used on the monitor without requiring an additional scaler.

My Rog swift works in windowed mode - it was a driver update, its now selectable in NVCP

Interesting subbed

If dell release a superwide 1440p IPS or VA curved with gsync, that hits 100hz. Like the upcoming Acer x34, that's it. Job done. Buy it.

Very interested in this if its IPS or VA. Seems the Gen II is just a mistake on the dell blog.

It uses a TN panel! Similar to that used by the XL2730Z and PG278Q.

this 100x over but would die when I saw the price

The SE2716H mentioned in the Tech report article will come with a VA panel but as yet no technical details on the S2716DG but it will be on sale on the Dell US site on the 30th October.

traveyb · 31 Aug 2015 at 12:21

Wonder what the price point will be, Dell prices are usually quite reasonable

titaniumx3 · 31 Aug 2015 at 21:34

Been waiting for this! Just hope they keep design the same as their other monitors and it comes with their premium panel guarantee.
