I'm using an AMD card with this monitor for the first time and getting issues with VRR, basically I'm getting tearing in Borderlands 2.
I'm using 5700XT with HDMI cable. Resolution set to 2560*1440 120Hz and I have Premium Pro enabled in Radeon and also on the monitor OSD.
Edit: I had to change in game frame limit to unlimited. All good now.

I've just purchased the Dell-G3223D, and will be using my Dell-S2721DGF along side, Has anyone used the G3223D before? I know it's pretty much the same spec as the S2721DGF, However in 32' instead.
I want the bigger screen as my eye sight is shocking and thinking a bigger screen will help with productivity.

Still loving mine and now i've upgraded from a 1st gen i7 to a 12th gen i7 I can finally make good use of that high referesh rate.
However, i've been experiencing the black screen for a second or two issue in some games that others have commented on here and elsewhere.
Seems to boil down to a gsync issue possibly at native res.
My old pc had a 970 which is does gsync but not gsync compatible. The 2721dgf is gsync compatible, so I guess I was blissfully unaware of this issue. New pc has a 1080 which is gsync compatible.
Turning gsync off fixes any issues with black screen during games, but of course thats not a proper fix.
I have learnt that a firmware upgrade for dp ports may sort this out, link below:
Will try when I have the chance.

I think I had that issue on my 1080 and the firmware fixed it.

I did have the black screen issue, however I can't recall having it since upgrading to Windows 11.

I've switched to Display Port and I don't get the black screen issue - does the monitor still support Freesync on Display Port or does it have to be HDMI?
Yes, I've always used Dp with mine.

Used to go black for a second or two when gaming then just come back on. Seemingly at random.
Does not do it anymore, for me.

Cheers.
Would you be able to share your monitor settings? Maybe take a few pictures of your menu settings? I could do with a starting point!
Please feel free to ignore my request is it's a hassle.
Not done much in settings
Game
- Preset mode - standard
- Game enhance mode - off
- AMD freesync pro -- on
- Response time - extreme
- Dark stabiliser = 0
Brightness 36% ( find the default way too bright but thats just me, I belive later models the default brighness is lower so youll just have to set that to what you prefer)
Contrast 74%
Input source - auto
Display
Smart HDR = display HDR
Think that's all ive done, the rest is standard/default settings.

Tempted by the G3223D fingers crossed for a price drop soon.
Looks good.. Basically a bigger version of the same thing by the looks. £350 direct from dell at the moment... Hmm... Tempting!

Hold ya horses matey... price will drop as I only paid £254 for the S2721DGFA. Await the codes or BF!

I've had this monitor since early days (I might have posted a hundred pages back), it's never missed a beat and still looks and works excellent, especially as I've now got a GPU fast enough to accomplish 165fps in nearly everything. I've started using Nvidia's DSR, to scale to 4k, and the image looks fantastic. But it also highlights that I'm not quite ready for a 4k monitor, due to some AAA titles still not managing high enough fps.
Can't remember ever suffering a black screen like mentioned above.
An excellent purchase
