Vibrancy level you would expect from an IPS??
So how is it guys? Does it need to be treated like "every" TN? Can I move around in my chair without the colours shifting so much that I need to turn the screen?
Can the colours be made accurate? Is there any extension beyond sRGB?

Like every TN panel there's a degree of shift but compared to my last Predator TN it's minimal.I can bob my head around and colours stay pretty much the same. No idea about extension there's RGB and YPbPr in the menus.

I'm finding the OverClock a bit problematic. Often when I enable/disable gsynch in nVIDIA CP and the monitor does it's blink on and off routine, when coming back on the monitor's OSD says that the current range of 2560x1440 155hz is undisplayable please set to 2560x1440 60hz. The OSD stays on the screen and OS/desktop output is not displayed but the desktop can be 'heard' being active. Simply pressing any of the monitor's menu buttons(physical) brings the OS/desktop up on to the screen.
Even on a cold boot into W10 OS the same can happen.

I've started to keep the refresh at 144hz.

Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me jacking the thread.

Looking for a new monitor as my main monitor is a 23.5" Dell (can't check the model until I get home) that I bought in around 2012. Current PC Spec is Ryzen 1600X, 16Gb Ram and a GeForce 1080 GPU. I would like to go up to a 27" screen and anything will be an upgrade really over what I currently have . Ideally I wouldn't want to spend more than £400 and from going through this thread it seems that the Dell S2719DGF has been well received and a good choice for me? Does this sound right and anything I should be aware of?

Thank you.

I'm loving this monitor. the VRR works a treat on gsync compatibility mode and the colours for a TN far succeed anything I expected, very vibrant. Games actually feel smoother than they did on my last 240hz monitor.

There's very little colour shift on the Dell compared to other TN panels I've owned.

Just ordered the Dell S2719DGF to finally replace my age old HP ZR24w (60hz).

Should be here for Thursday.

Need to make sure I have the right settings for the refresh rate to work. Have a 1080ti with 419.35 drivers.

How's the monitor dude?

I am happy mate even works great with the X and PS4 pro too do you have one ?

Nah, I went the Dell route mate. Regardless, it's good to know that folks are hitting the level they need within their budget. That's why I posed the original question as per thread title. :cool:

Only got it plugged in last night and haven't really had time to play around with it yet.

It's fantastic! Coming from the HP ZR24w (IPS 60hz) to the Dell is a massive step up in many ways (the HP was almost exactly 9 years old according to the manufacture date).

Tried to do the Nvidia settings for the Free Sync to work and I think I've got it going. Tested it briefly with Carmageddon and Civ 6 and the refresh rates were correct but Arma 3 appears to be stuck at 60hz.

I just reinstalled Arma 3, I'll have a mess about and see what it does with me.

Just fired it up for 5 minutes and I'm hitting variable rates on gsync compatibility mode between 60 to 120 fps.

Glad you sorted it. How does it look in 1440p for you?
