New Dell IPS S2721DGF 165hz gaming monitor

Cap FPS in-game to 163 if it has an in game option. If a game doesn't have an option for FPS cap then use RivaTuner Statistics server to cap at 163
Enable v-sync on for all games in Nvidia Control Panel - disable v-sync on all in game settings
Ensure Freesync/G-Sync is on

What this does. 163 FPS cap stops the framerate overshooting and hitting v-sync. Freesync on eliminates any tearing. V-sync foreced on in Nvidia control panel reduces overall input latency if you exceed your frame cap. Essentially v-sync takes over when you are not in the Freesync/G-Sync range (which is very wide for this monitor 48-165 Hz)

I shall give this a try, thanks a lot.
 
I have just ordered this today and thanks to this forum got 15% off (£331) using the code HSDBIGSALE. This code still works to anyone reading this!

I was really split into 2 minds on what to get, where I really liked the idea of a VA panel’s contrast ratios, but the delay was also a big influence as I’m into my FPS’s. So, I kinda concluded that unless I wanted to spend a load more on a top VA like say the new Samsung Odyssey G7 it would be better instead to get a really decent IPA. (or I hope this one is really decent!)

Thanks S2k! Unfortunately this code seems not to be working for the Irish store (it says this is a valid code but there's no qualifying article in the cart). I suspect it's tied to UK stock.

Anyone have another 15% code I could try?
 
I ordered mine around the 24th of September and had it the 2nd of October (Delivery date when ordering was 13th October). I reckon you'll get it well before the date.

I have a feeling the 15% is tied to UK stock as everywhere I have gone for an Irish discount code (University and corporate) only have 10% on monitors. I'd be delighted to be proven wrong but I have a feeling Ireland only gets 10%.
 
I used that HSDBIGSALE code and ordered today..
Estimated to arrival 18/11
I got an email and i can see it on my paypal credit.. But there is nothing in "my orders" on dells website
 
Ordered on the 2nd with an expected date of the 20th and didn't hear anything since. Just received a UPS email saying it's being delivered tomorrow.

Sigh, well I got my monitor today and was very excited to plug it in only to find out I got served a cabbage. The right half of the screen is a mess. 100% the panel as it happens regardless of connection to the PC.

I finally got my replacement today and am pleased to announce no issues with this one! Very happy now, in fact I may order a pizza as a celebration. I see a pattern forming here..

Haha! Yeah man, just a bit :p

So anyone knows how to test the monitor for issues and to set it up? Like settings and then ICC colour profiles?

Compared to my old monitor it's going to take a bit of getting used to coming from 32" to 27" but it looks a lot better than the AOC q3279vwfd8.
