The big selling point of this monitor is the IPS Black panel, which has a contrast ratio of 2000:1 - double that of regular IPS. And did you say "variable refresh rate"? Does Freesync work on the DP port???

We purchased (2) Dell S2721DGF (1ms Fast IPS 2560X1440 @ 165hz with Display port 1.4) when they first came out. We got them after a Hardware Unboxed video rated them very high for 2k 27" IPS monitors. That was a few years ago and they were extremely expensive for us @ $500 each +tax and we had to drive 3 hour round trip to the closest Best Buy that had them in stock. They were well worth it. They still work flawless and look crisp! Cheap 60hz monitors when gaming for long sessions was giving headaches and eye pain. These monitors helped. Great review btw. You went deep and wide and covered it all. Well done. Liked and subbed.

@@JacobDarkOfficial true, here in Brazil the u2424h was 2000 BRL (R$) just 1-2 weeks ago, now it's 1600. Good for the price. But the LG 32gn600b also costs 1600, and I think that the size+resolution is better for gaming Although both has pros and cons if we compare them.

@pureflan 4 ай бұрын

The S2721DGF is a total crap ! The left corner is blue, the right corner is yellow ! The light from every side ! The fonts this thing draws are a nightmare ! The only thing it exists is 165Hz but there are much cheaper options for that !

@orepeo 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for a good video! A suggested addition to the conclusion is that this can be a good monitor if you want something that is decent for both gaming and productivity, while also looking professional. Looking at specs only, there are cheaper alternatives such as the Samsung or the Asus if you either are doing 100% gaming or 100% content creation. Many people are doing a little bith of both. This monitor can also be written of as a business expense I guess ;)

Yes, you can display out from MacBook. I have the 14pro connected to the DELL U3223Q (4K, 60Hz only) with thunderbolt cable (USB-C). All works with one cable. The USB downstream is for scenarios, when you connect a PC with HDMI or DP and you want to use the monitors USB ports. Hope that answers your question.

@FILIP_J0VAN0V1C 7 күн бұрын

As an individual that bought this monitor along side few of my friends.I can say that this monitor's contrast ratio is actually quite higher which is a good thing. On my model the contrast ratio was 2307 while my three friends that have this same monitor had 2263 , 2104 and 2144 contrast ratio. It's not as dark as VA monitors how ever it's pretty close which is great as this monitor has no black issues like the VA panels. For productivity work this monitor is one of the best on the market also playing single player AAA games with this monitor is fantastic as well.

For those who are interested in buying this monitor consider the fact that you will probably get a monitor with backlight bleeding. I have replaced 4 monitors and all of them had backlight bleeding to some extent. It’s only noticeable with lights turned off in the room but still not really appealing considering the price of the monitor. So bear in mind that you will most likely get the unit with the same issue😢

@PlayGameToday 7 ай бұрын

There is a possibility that the frame was severely compressed at the factory. And over time, after using the monitor for 25 days, the bezel will loosen a little under heat, and there will not be such a big leakage. I've read reddit where many people had backlight leakage disappear after a while after purchase.

dude....what's going on with dell? I bought an Alienware Aw2724DM and the first unit came with a large light bleed... 2 more attempts were made to change but now with an error/bug in the brightness (only 240nits from a peak of 600nits) and so there was an error also in the HDR. I was offered to exchange it for the fourth time for the same model but this time I gave up and asked my money back... I no longer trust this model. My surprise is to know that this is also happening with the "Ultrasharp" family with the "IPS black" panel. Dell urgently needs to carry out an investigation into the production line and quality control.... I have read many reports about light leaks and flickering even in monitors with "sync" functions
