yeah the dell gsync version reviews really well so i can only imagine the freesync one will be similar am actually sitting here with the dell in my basket hesitating to pull the trigger lol.

 

[Ree]

just ordered the dell

Wise choice

arrives on thursday, really excited to finally jump to 1440p.

 

[Ree]

Please let me know how you get on with it, I've got an Ultrawide but I really want to switch to 2 monitors and the Dell has got me thinking.

will do bud. got a 13:40/14:40 delivery slot so patiently waiting

 

[Ree]

wow! why didnt i go 1440p sooner panel is pristine, colours are very, very nice just having to mess around with contrast and brightness a bit but first impressions are am super happy and impressed. even this very text on the screen is a lot better looking(clearer). the osd for the menu is one of the best i've used too. 40-144hz is the freesync range just in case anyone doesn't know that.

 

[Ree]

Promising first impressions. What are you changing with the brightness? Is it too dark or is it one of these burn-your-eyeballs type of TN panels that you have to put the brightness down to below 10?

yeah brightness is a bit too high for my liking so toned it down a bit to 60 everyone is different though.

 

[Ree]

yeah i think it could probably go down to 50 ish too gonna be a bit trial and error to get it how i want it but overall its a very good monitor.

 

[Ree]

Does dell do an IPS equivalent. I still have an ultra clear 24” not quite 1080p IPS s-uva panels and it’s been a fab monitor. Must be coming up on 8 years now and still going strong but need to upgrade to 1440p

i don't think there is, well not at 144hz that i know of but could be mistaken.

 

[Ree]

How are you finding the monitor @ree ?


My trusty 8 year old PCBank 2700 died last night, which was rather sad. So ordered a S2719DGF today which will arrive at some point tomorrow.

Really looking forward to the jump to 144hz & Freesync support mainly. It'll be interesting for me to see how much of a difference there is between an 8 year old IPS panel and this TN. I've always read Dell make solid panels, so hopefully this one is one too.

very happy with it the jump to 1440p was a definite eye opener for how much better everything looks now. i went from a tn to another tn so i cannot comment on how it will compare to your old ips but for me its pretty good once you tinker a bit with it and get it looking how you want it. nice plus side about freesync too if you've got an nvidia card. hope your as happy with yours as iam with mine bud. let us know how you get on.

am using dp at 144hz limited to 143 in radeon settings. av not even tried the 155.

i didn't even notice if mine came with a dp cable the box is up the loft so not checking now lol. i bought a vesa certified dp cable a little while ago so was no need for it anyway.

 

[Ree]

yeah its excellent the jump up. glad your happy with it too. honestly i think most will be happy with it as long as they get a decent panel with no issues.

 

[Ree]

np bud

am actually really surprised ocuk aren't stocking this as i think they would probably be quite popular especially now with nvidia supporting freesync too.

 

[Ree]

OMG, Great upgrade from my old 1080p screen, couple of hours on BFV, really impressed.

i went from 1080p like you everything just looks so much more crisp at 1440p and the 144hz with it is the icing on the cake

 

[Ree]

cheers for the above link i did a bit more calibrating and used some of that guys settings and it does look even better than i had it.

 

[Ree]

yeah that would definitely be helpful to others looking to buy, its as if this monitor was released completely under the radar.

 

[Ree]

Many gaming monitors and products more generally incorporate RGB lighting for a bit of ambience – not this one

if it had rgb for 'ambience' i wouldn't have bought it. dunno what it is about the bloody obsession with colored lights on everything nowadays as most of them are really tacky.. guess am getting old (38 lol).

 

[Ree]

i settled on 35 and 75 which seems to be just about right on this panel for me. av not touched any colour settings though.

 

[Ree]

should try firejacks settings and go from there bud. av not used any of the presets at all.

 

[Ree]

Overall very happy with it and actually think it was worth £350 (most i have spent on a monitor).

most av spent too. i even paid £400 for mine and am still happy at that.
