Nice that's all very positive.
Are either you using Displayport at 155hz or just HDMI at 144hz?

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.

Got it today. I am very impressed. It is a bit bright and the blacks are not amazing, compared to my old IPS it is not great. But given I've had that for 8 years I imagine I've come accustomed to that. The colours though are great and after a bit of a tinker I think I've got a nice brightness balance. There's no noticeable banding and gamma shift is minimal really. If I can get another 8+ years out of this monitor I'll be very pleased. Then by that time I'm sure there will be some good improvements in monitors generally.
What I am so impressed by though is 144hz... where has this been all my life?! If I would have known how good it was I'd have changed an age a go!

Currently using Standard preset with 35 for brightness and 75 for contrast. Only get indirect daylight around my home office space battlestation. Black is very well defined and colours still seem great too. Really impressed with how the colours scale. Every other TN I've tried has been stuck with a very narrow range for brightness/ contrast to get good colours.
I've enabled the 155Hz overclock and it seems to work. Although I'm not consistently hitting high enough frames rates in Planetside 2 to really test it properly. Will have to re-download Rocket League or something.
Must admit I think I've come away more impressed every time I've used the monitor so far. Definitely made the right choice. Thanks @ree for your early thoughts

Thanks for the impressions guys. What I would like to know is how the black reproduction really is as there isn't a gamma setting on the monitor I think.
If it has very good colours which is common knowledge then the black level shouldn't be too bad.
Tell me how the black stabilizer works and can it be used to improve the black depth please.
I had the Asus 278QR and the Dell 2417DG both of which had decent black level for a TN.
According to this video the monitors Freesync floor is around 60 fps as that is where LFC starts. If that's the case then this monitor is a no go for me sadly unless the testing is wrong.

I've been testing LFC today. The out of the box Freesync range is 40-144Hz over Display Port and it works perfectly on my RX VEGA 56.
Using the Overclock it seems the Freesync range is 42-155Hz over Display Port. Although I'm not sure its working perfectly. Capping the FPS to 40/41 sometimes shows 80/82, other times 40/41 - using the monitors On-screen display and comparing with RTSS.

What happens if you cap it to 50 fps like in the video?
Great. Thanks for that.If I cap at 50 fps the on screen display shows 50 fps. Whether I'm using the overclock or not
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

Found this, had to turn down the brightness a bit, but very happy with the picture quailty, and gaming is so much better than old screen.

rtings posted their review of the Dell S2719DGF yesterday: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s2719dgf
I started a discussion on reddit and some good comments from other owners there: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/alvk1m/new_dell_s2719dgf_review_rtingscom/
I do recommend reading the review. It reflects my experiences with the monitor accurately.

The review makes the Dell sound terrible! But it does have good colours if you sit in front of it!
