Yes, all being equal, the Dell is a better bet due to the improved stand and warranty, I would have gone for one too if that had been available instead.

Ordered one for £331, seems a steal at that price.
Replacing a failing 27" Rog Swift so not expecting much difference really, except the new one should work properly.
How did you get it for that price?

15% student discount coupled with its current 20% off, I used my sons school email address to register and they sent me a bunch of voucher codes.

Got mine setup now, pretty happy with it. Maybe a slight dimming on the sides but can't tell if it's my eyes playing tricks on me.
Calibrated it with my Spyder4PRO and the included software. Then scrapped that and re did it with Display Cal.
Results below, this model is on the left. My older U2715H is on the right.. still unsure how to reduce the saturation or if it's even possible on the S2721DGF though. Anyone know?
Don't think you can. Unless it has a dedicated sRGB emulation mode?

Agreed - feels cheap - oh wait - it is!!Mine arrived today.
One thing that really has stood out to me is how loud the push in for the joystick on the back is! Kinda irritating.
Great monitor other than that!
As far as I can tell it doesn't unfortunately.

Can't you not set the Preset Mode to Custom Color then adjust the gain, as I did, from all 100% to...
Gain: R=81% G=84% B=94%
..or am I mistaken - I could very well be

I'm on the dell site now - and they are £390. How are people (who are not students) getting them for less? My old 24" Dell just fell off the end of my tableneed a replacement fast.
DAILYMAIL5 works for a 5% discount, another £19.50 off that £390
Otherwise find a friend who is a student or has kids at school with a school email.
*edit, noticed in the other thread DAILYMAIL8 works for 8%
S3220DGF is a huge VA panel. So its going to have far better blacks, but much worse motion and viewing angles. Still thats personal preference.
S2721DHF is 1080p at 27" and is also a VA panel.

I've ordered mine and it's on its way. So excited for a decent monitor for once in my life.

Got a code to bring this down to £331, not sure what's stopping me, especially since I'm currently having to use a 40" TV as a monitor...
Proper monitor always looks better than a TV!
Random question, my current setup, OC 6600k, 8gb rxr80, 16gb DDR4..
So I'm happily running metro exodus at 1440p 120hz.. Although I dropped the in game graphics defaults from ultra to high...
Is there any point running higher hz on my hardware? I've not checked this game FPS specifically but I imagine my average frame rate is something like 40 to 70 FPS.
Am using freesync but changing in game settings down to high defiantly made a positive difference.
