Dell S2716DG - Dells first G-sync

[andybird123]

I tried to buy some but my windows are unbranded.

Previous owner of this place really cheaped out.

Just get a normal window blind bigger than the window and fit a hook to hold the bottom in place

Not a bad price! It would probably be about £450/500 if it weren't for gsync.

It will be interesting to see reviews for this and if dell have removed the horrible grainy finish that the swift has (unlikely though )

Any idea if a freesync version will be coming any time soon???

That doesn't seem like a good price for a 1440p 144Hz TN screen at all?

 

[Nexus18]

Ideally it should be cheaper.... however, most other "sync" 1440P 27" 144HZ with a good TN panel costs £450+ and dell are by far the best when it comes to customer service and usually QC too.

 

[easyrider]

Cheaper than the swift with Dell customer service and quality control....

I'm in ....!

And an HDMI port for those who want to use a game console on the side.

Are you or/and badass getting this to review any time soon?

I won't have time to review it for a little bit to be honest as I've got 2 FreeSync reviews to get out of the way first. But I will probably be requesting one after that and possibly a PG279Q.

It's actually Dell's own U2715H that shows this up a bit. No sync but a much better panel for over a hundred quid less.

Don't get me wrong, I want to move to sync now. I just can't get my head around the pricing, especially for GSync, which is utterly ridiculous.

Apples and oranges. The U2715H is a 60Hz monitor. I do agree that the price premium is a bit steep, although typical for the addition of G-SYNC. A more suitable comparison would be with the BenQ XL2730Z.

 

[Nexus18]

TBH, pretty much every monitor out atm is over priced imo especially the 34" 1440 screens.

Gotta say I agree.

 

[psychas]

mhh i expected 500 quid will wait till it is about that in price

I'm surprised that there isn't more talk about this monitor!

Some guy got his on overclock:

http://www.overclock.net/t/1577511/anyone-else-excited-for-the-dell-s2716dg-monitor/20#post_24526568

Interesting that he says this:

The AG coating is on the aggressive side, and I would say it's on-par with my LG 34UM95

I thought these 27" TN 144HZ 1440 panels were suppose to be very grainy where as the ultrawide IPS screens have a very light matte finish

That's confusing. The LG 34UM95 does indeed have a Light AG coating... and the PG278Q has a Moderate AG coating. They are NOT the same. So either this guy is really bad at seeing the difference... OR Dell have gone with a lighter coating. The number of complaints I've read about the Swift and that Moderate AG coating makes me wonder how someone could be confused with the one on the LG, which is definitely better.

 

[Nexus18]

Yup exactly my thoughts so as you said either, Dell have gone with a lighter finish or this guy's eye sight is bad/odd

I wonder if the panel manufacturer have gone with a lighter finish themselves as it would fit in with all those people who sent their benq 27" 1440 144HZ TN screens back for the firmware upgrade (which was essentially a panel/monitor replacement) saying that the screen quality/colours seemed a lot nicer even with the same settings....

Oh good, glad I'm not the only one who found that comment extremely confusing and contradictory.

 

[khemist]

The UK release date has been pushed back then?, it's showing as 06/11 now.

 

[Tute]

BenQ XL2730Z.

Or the XG270HU, which makes the GSync module cost more than the screen.
