Dell S2716DG - Dells first G-sync

Ah okay. Have to admit I only tend to browse this forum for news, I'm looking forward to hearing the first reviews as I've been looking for a new monitor for a while and it's likely to be a Dell/Asus/Acer G-Sync :)

Either there is something magical about that 4K TN panel, the IPS is calibrated appallingly, or your eyesight isn't what it should be, because I do not believe anyone with fully functional vision couldn't see the very obvious difference between TN and IPS... it's night vs day. Whether this bothers you or not is another matter and entirely subjective however.

Thing is - it used to be you'd sit a TN beside a good IPS and it would be horrific the TN would stick out like a sore thumb - but recent "10bit" 4K panels and the TN Swift, etc. when calibrated are largely inoffensive when sat beside an IPS panel - sure there will potentially be issues with gamma shift/viewing angles and don't have as deep and detailed colour saturation but they aren't a million miles off in terms of colour accuracy, saturation and overall image quality.

There is a huge difference having my old XL2420 beside my U2913wm while the Swift is being RMA'd compared to how the Swift looked beside it.
 
post back post back post back ... very keen to know your thoughts and how it's running ... my dell u2410 died today ... it must have heard me talking about it !!!

To be fair, after using my TN Swift for a while I found it to be a cracking screen. So so responsive with games so I forgave it's slight lack of colour and shift etc. If I were to get another Swift I think I'd choose the TN :cool:
 
well i've had a samsung t240 tn as well as my dell and it displays a bit different than the dell ips but its not "BAD" in comparison. as far as the viewing angle is concerned i only sit directly in front so it makes no difference to me. its more like watching two different brand tv sets in a showroom ... both look good but they have a slightly different display .. thats why i'm not too opposed to trying another tn ... and all these years and i havent had a single problem until now .. so i look forward to hearing how this new dell performs and looks ...
 


Two bits of dirt not shifting in the top left corner, grrrrreat!.

Does anyone think this will shift over time?.

Edit - i've asked for a replacement.

Looks like a dead pixel and a thunderbug...but if that's a thunderbug then the monitor has been used...
 
So is there any word on how this actually compares against the Swift? I'm no clearer whether this is just the same monitor with Dell branding, or something different? The pixel inversion issue and aggressive AG coating put me off the Swift, so if this is the same then it's really nothing to get excited about unfortunately, even though it's encouraging to see Dell getting in to this market space. I do like the design of the monitor, and their CS is obviously far better than Asus.
