Why the Dell G2724D is the Best Gaming Monitor

- Disclaimer: This review was for the hyper-specific use case of my brother looking for new monitors. He mainly plays Escape From Tarkov, Star Wars Games, and watches TH-cam videos.
I left out price because that is subjective to everybody, and everybody's bugets are different. But I will say for the price of around $270, with these specs, you will not find anything better. Most monitor companies now are charging SOOO much for these features and calling them with all the buzzwords. Dell gives this to you at a reasonable price.
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, I love hearing other opinions about topics like this.
Thank you for watching. I actually enjoyed ranting about this. - เกม
The most honest reaction to anything ever.... I bought it right now thank you.
So are you as happy as he is about this gaming monitor ? I'd like to try it on Tarkov too since I updated my cfg from 1660 ti ryzen 5 5800x to 4070 super ryzen 9 7900x ^^
short answer yes I am, it is a month I'm using it and it's fantastic@@leto1n0u
@@leto1n0u really good monitor, i'm using it now for few months. Go for it, cause for this money i didn't find better, also with ur new specs ure good to go on 2k
This is what honest review is. Awesome video brother keep it up. Lots of love from India.
I have only been watching the video for 1:46 minutes and you have spoken many trues. Very honest, sincere and you explain things very well. A very well-deserved like and new sub. Greetings from Spain. 🤝🏽
I appreciate that! Greetings!
you are amazing man, so accurate and to the point.
i like your presentation of things.
Thanks bro 😎
Had this monitor for a week and it's the best one I've used to far. It smashes my TN and VA monitors.
Heck yeah man, its a good one
I'm pulling the trigger on this this Black Friday. How is the G2724D holding up man?? This monitor looks excellent on paper!!
@jasdavesandhu1422 Pull that trigger brotha
Damn, I wish more of TH-cam was like this. No bull, just hard facts. Thanks dude.
this rant has some of the best, most straight to the point info on youtube!
You rock thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it.
Goated Review exactly what I needed thanks bro
Considering I posted this solely for my brother. I'm happy that somebody else found it useful haha. Thanks!
My monitor is getting delivered today, and i am very glad that i saw this video!
Enjoy!
Ordered this monitor. Your review is funny and I am glad I bought it.
Yo no way hahaha! Hope you like it! Feel free to type back in the comments if you do I'd love to hear it!
Just got the monitor today. I love it so far. Been playing 2042 and it feels super smooth and looks great@@hasnoloot
Literally subbed cos of this video even if there are no more monitor reviews, so entertaining 😂. Getting one tommorow!
this is the best review ive watched for a monitor, you sold me on it thanks bro
Hundreds of comments, videos and comments, swinging between 2k/4k , LG, Alienware, 32 inch / 27 inch etc. This video confirmed my gut feeling, now waiting for my Dell to arrive. Thanks bruv
Glad it helped!
Great review. This is the way
This is the way
it was fun :D I'm totally buying this monitor. thanks
Hope you enjoy it!
this is what truly got me to buy this. way more genuine than any other review. thanks
Thanks for the personalize review homie! Hasno on some COFFEE!
Thank you for the support haha
Has anyone here dealt with returning faulty monitors bought directly from Dell's site? I'm asking because I instead bought this on Amazon to make returns easier. Just curious if Dell is a hassle when returning a monitor over a dead pixel or backlight bleed.
And i heard in one video it has a semi matt panel, so it's more glossy than other monitors, and that makes more clear the image.
How does the Gigabyte G27Q compare to this? Similar priced as well
Got the Dell SE2723DS 1440P 75hz screen. Just orded the G2724D to pair with the other and make it primary on my 7800 XT
W review, just ordered it for $342.72 Aud, using student discount and it being on sale anyway. Can’t wait till it comes, upgrading from a curved 1080p 144hz, which imma make my second monitor.
Very nice. Hope you like it
Hi great review confirmed what I already thought that this is a great monitor however I’m a bit of a monitor noob. Getting my first one to use with my ps5. I noticed there’s no in built speakers but also is there no audio port to put external speakers in? If so is there no way to use any form of speakers? So what do you do for audio?
Thats a great point. This monitor would be more for the PC gaming user in that case. For example, I have my speakers plugged into my PC. And other than that I use headphones. For a playstation though. The monitor has USB ports that you could plug speakers into.
@@hasnoloot the monitor does not have USB ports
You can bluetooth right to your Playstation or get headphones with a USB and plug it in to the Playstation
Guys i need your help, which one is better this one or Gigabyte M32QC-EK?
Thank you, i needed to see this video im couldnt decide on curved or not and you just decided for me!! Great review man
Dows this DELL monitor competes against the Gigabyte M27Q rev. 2.0 (I cant believe Dell Dont count with audio input/output)
Need to make a deicison soon if you can help. Get this for $250 off dell new (with a warranty), or get the older version s2721dgf I can find used for $150?
Tough decision. Really comes down to budget
Guys please help me! This monitor or the Samsung Odyssey G5 G50A - LS27AG500PPXEN?
Just looked at the thumbnail, 30 secs into the video, I trust you. I'm ordering it now
lmao wait no at least hear me out!! jk. thanks for the feedback man really appreciate it!
and the contrast and black uniformity is probably the best out of all the other famous 1440p ips high refresh rate monitors
Trippy as shit. My name is Caden and I am looking at this monitor but have never seen this man before. Its like I have a guardian angel or a stalker.
The algorithm greets you with kind arms today.
I can't seem to find the Freesync option in the menu despite I have already enabled it on the AMD drivers. Anyone has this problem?
Thats because its permanently enabled. You just enable or disable on the amd drivers
Nice review brother, just ordered mine.
Hope you enjoy it!
@@hasnoloot Got it, it’s amazing!
how is it now?? @@j.cd5
@@millieturnbull7843 Great, had no problems with it.
Man, i love this review. No bs, no lies. Just the goated truth based on experience.
Thanks man have a good one ☝🏼
I am buying this monitor. Freesync and G-sync are not gimmicks, they are a great way to reduce screen tearing by synchronizing FPS with monitor refresh rate for the smoothest experience possible. All of those extra features are always welcome. One thing this monitor lacks is a USB hub that the 24 inch 1080p version has, other than that, it's great for gaming and college work.
Thanks for the info!
Realest review on the internet, might order one, you gotta get a cut of the profits for sure, you're selling so many of these
No profit share here! Just honest content brother
I have been looking at this one as well as
MSI G321Q
Alienware AW2724DM
I work in graphics but also want to game on it (all genres). Really torn between the good price of the Dell which is on sale and the perhaps better color of the other 2 which is hard to tell because the MSI has no reviews at all and the alienware is quite a bit more for slightly better color. Thought the MSI was the winner until found the Dell and Alienware - no I have no clue lol.
Anyone have experience with these?
You convinced me, I ordered it :)
I'll update with my opinion
Let me know how it goes. I hope you like it!
what's it like??
I'm about to buy a monitor - like sometime today - and it's been between this and the Alienware AW2724DM for me, which is on sale right now for just like $50 more. For whatever reason (and this is only 6 days after you posted up this review) the monitor is $299 when I check it out on Dell instead of the $269 you are showing here. I'd probably be going with this one instead if it were down at that $269 price.
The only difference is the Alienware has 600 nits brightness vs. the 400 on this monitor, so the HDR looks a little bit better (a brighter monitor makes the contrast between the blacks and whites look better). But yeah this monitor is a great deal and Dell really kills it with their monitors in general. You're not really ever going to go wrong getting one from them.
Appreciate the no-bullshit review lol. I've been told 165hz is the sweet spot.
This is great. I wonder why the price jumped. Possibly because its getting near the holidays..? Anyway, I took a look at that Alienware monitor you mentioned and it looks very nice. I won't recommend anything.. but you are in the right ballpark if you are interested in something like this!
I jumped on the alienware AW2724DM over this monitor because it's overall a better monitor and it had a huge rebate, I got it for 429$ Canadian vs this monitor which was 399$ Canadian, so yeah a no brainer for me.
@@philipbroberg762 i went with that one, too. Couldnt be happier with it
@@blakebrown534 good choice my friend, the HDR really is a game changer on this monitor
Does it matter that AW2724 only has hdcp 1.4 and this one has 2.2. Using for ps5
got this for $200 on amazon. has extra features for console such as it downscales 4k images somehow and its like the only 1440p monitor for ps5 that supports VRR over HDMI. tried the LG ultragear 1440p one and this one is better in everything, response time, vrr, colors, etc. Nice review
Hi, you mean the LG 27850p-b or another one ?
@@JuJu-cz4kr no i used the 27GL83A-B
Hey, samsung g5 ips or this monitor?
After going through Literally 8 Fucking monitors and refunding all of them *because they were all objectively unacceptable dogshit,* this little Dell monitor is literally a hidden gem in a sea of absolute bin. It's crazy.
Probably buying this for my Switch….wish there was a 24 inch version. Can’t decide between this and the BenQ EX240 for $139
Just picked this monitor up for £164 (~$201). I've been looking into 1440p and this is perfect!
Gonna be running this on my 3060 Ti.
Just picked mine up from Dell Canada website it was $319.99 ($80 off) + when I used my student email I got a code for an additional 10% ($34.99) off!
where did u buy for £164
Direct from Dell. Used an 8% voucher code (BRAVOVOUCHER8) and they had also given me 1,500 points in my Dell Rewards to use for another £15 off. @@sjgaming3976
I got it for £175, how did you get it cheaper 😂
8% voucher brought it down to £179 and then an additional £15 off from Dell Rewards thanks to the 1,500 points they gave me all of a sudden. I think multiple people were given this.@@CraigTheBrute-yf7no
I just ordered two of these to replace my six month old uiltrawide monitor. I've tried working with 21:9 but using one monitor got annoying over time so I'll end up selling mine later on.
the best description i ve ever seen..ill subscibe bravo dude ! AGREED 100% norma size monitor always and not curved or 4k unless you take some painkiller pills first
Hilarious review, I trust you completely. 10/10.
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks bro, I ordered 5, can’t wait for them to come in!
Always there when you need me brother
@@hasnolootGod tier for office use as well
this one or the lg 27gp850-b ? dont know which one to get
Im thinking thé same but the Dell have a better constrast ratio
Bought this today for $195 hoping it comes in for christmas. Said its gonna arrive on december 20th, but i've heard horror storries of people getting super long delays. I also thought i couldnt buy it cause i was looking at it, and considered buying it so i put it in my cart, but then the next day i looked again and it was out of stock, but i had it in my cart so i could still order it.
Where did you get it at that price?
Real reviews like these are the best thanks bruh
I appreciate that thanks
Ordered one today. Lez goo
Mine is on the way, dell shipping faster than Amazon 😂
I laughed a bunch of times bro with how you explained it 😂👊 Just ordered this one for 277 in Europe. It was this one or the LG 27gp850 but went with the Dell
Thank you hope you like it
isnt gp850 better?
@@immortalplays4834 i’ve seen a few comparisons and Dell is a little better but both good monitors.
I have same decision? which one of these two is better?
Just ordered mine on sale from dells website originally $200 to $180 (with tax it came out to $195 -_-) but nonetheless I'm super excited to get mine!
Dell G2724D or AOC Q27G3XMN?
Especially asking for PS5 gaming because the Dell has VRR and the AOC doesn't but the AOC gets much brighter and is mini led.
? Help!
i’m going for the dell
I was looking everywhere like where can I find a good gaming monitor for like nba2k …. Range 2-300 I’ve found ones that one got but the other don’t so ima take yo word on dis fam … 💯💯 Preciate ya . ( Dell vs Gigabyte M27Q ) your input
This monitor or LG 27GP850-B or Samsung Odyssey G5 IPS which one is better for gaming ?
For gaming deffo the LG
This feels much better than watching tech channels nitpicking 😂 gimme the rant all day
*😅 having a “1080p 24inch tn monitor” watching this, hit too close to home
Great review man! Love your no nonsense approach! I was thinking between the Dell G2724D and the LG 27GP850. I'd love your honest opinion brother?
The LG 27GP850 is a really strong competitor to the Dell in this video. Lots of the same specs. The LG has a different mount system, not a VESA mount, something to be mindful of if you plan on wall mounting or using a different type of stand. I'm sure they make mounts for them ones thougha as LG is a popular brand. I'd say its really u to you for price/looks. Maybe wait until one of them goes on sale and scoop it up? Either way you go I'd say its a good choice, although I have no experience with LG monitors, just looking at the specs.
@@hasnoloot how do u find the G2724D so far? Do u own one so far?? This model has the PCWorld Editor's Choice award. Looking really good my friend
@@hasnoloot as i am watching lots of reviews these days now that my samsung odyssey G7 died on me, i have to say you are wrong about one thing... the dell g2724D does have vesa 100 mm mount... im typing this as i just checked the dell website on it...
@@jasdavesandhu1422 Had both of them next to eachother. The LG btw. has Vesa too and they both have click and release system for the standard mount.
The LG has a USB hub and an audio port - the Dell doesn't. LG stand doesn't rotate and takes more space - Dell does...
The overall built quality is a tad better on the Dell.
The Picture is also a bit better on the Dell. Slightly better colors and less hazy due to the thinner coating. Reflections are therefore a little stronger but not a problem.
Subjectively, I'd say the LG has more IPS glow and is more fatguing for my eyes despite the fact it has some features to avoid that.
And there is a difference in the DP/HDMI ports...2+1, VRR support on the Dell and 1+2 no VRR on the LG.
I'd take the Dell over LG anytime - my personal recommendation in that priceclass.
it's 330 fucking am browsing review and i still thinking which one should i buy (lg,dell). found this guy and boom. went to sleep happily and decided to buy this monitor in the morning.
fav comment. You are a beast hope you like it
Wordy explanations, the suddenly "fuck that shit," and I'm sold! Going to order now.
Lmao hope you like it man!
Should I buy this or the LG 27GP850P- B
Cheapest I ever saw the LG on sale at Amazon is $300. I just picked up the Dell from their website for $180 after tax using MONITORS10 promo code. Mine's on the way. You should take your shot with the Dell.
Can you make videos showing your monitor color settings and all that i see ur playing tarkov and i am aswell but everything looks fking dark af 15 meters away. Good video btw made me buy this monitor and i like it alot
My color settings are all default, tarkov is definitley dark haha.
Are u using any postfx
@@ExyQRed no post fx. I play the game plain af
just bought it today
Does anyone know if console mode is good on this monitor?
Console would work great. But note that this monitor doesn’t have speakers if you plan on playing with monitor audio
What would you recommend out of Alienware aw2724dm and this dell, because where i am from in Europe the dell model is 380e and Alienware is 500e ? It is ridiculous how much more they are in price. But even if you told me look at other monitors, every single one is overpriced when compared to USA and original pricing
The Dell is 255€ until tomorrow... Well atleast in Germany.
@@makunouchiippo816 i am not from Germany

What about the Gigabyte M27Q? Is that a good monitor for its price?
if its cheaper then yes otherwise the dell is slightly better
Hey bro yoy recommended Dell G2724D for tarkov night?
why not
Just bought this Dell monitor for 179.99. I’ve been eyeing it for about 6 months and waiting paid off. Lol
G2724D is the model.
MONITORS10 use this code you get 10% off
And it works with PS5 and VRR on. Just need to find it for less than 325'49€ if possible lol
How can I get sound if I’m using a PS5? Don’t want to always use my headphones
How did you connect headphones to ps5? Do the same to speakers.
I'm afraid you'll have to you'll have to buy some speakers then
Just ordered one in spain, 245€ on sale, seems a pretty good monitor and upgrade for me.
Hope you like it!
Yo tambien lo he comprado hoy por 241€ estoy deseando q me llegue, como va con el monitor?
Hola@@alexmiradell7705 , cuando te llegue veras que en la caja pone que llega a los 180hz, por favor pruebalo y dime si es verdad.
@@alexmiradell7705 es una autentica pasada, muy buena calidad de imagen, todo de buena calidad, una gran compra sin duda.
Does it have Hdmi 2.1 tho ? I’m on ps5 so I could use the vrr
It doesn't but since it's not 4k you wouldn't need it (HDMI 2.1 is for 4K 120Hz). You'll be able to do 1440p/2k @ 120Hz.
HDMI 2.0. You won't be able to play at 4K 120hz but I doubt you can tell the difference between 4K and 1440p unless you have perfect vision and have the monitor literally a few of inches away from your face
This has to be the best review ever 🤣
Glad you liked it !
Pretty awesome monitor, have one myself. The best part is the price $199 on sale.
Although the new OLED are definitely the new kings. After I noticed the ghosting on the Dell I can’t unsee it. 😢
Hey do you know if it supports vesa mounts
@@Fractalshow it does
Just picked one up for $179 from Dell
just ordered AW2724DM. It should be no worse than G2724D?
Both very similar, its deffo no worse at 180hz, and usb hub
Its 200$ if youre a student right now.
WHATA DEAL
Where from ?
How?
On sale 2/23/24 for $200 at Dell
goat review, good job
Much appreciated!
The real reason you may want to buy this monitor is because Gigabyte M27Q Rev 1.0 is out of production and this one is the only other monitor with high refresh rate compliance (low motion blur) that doesn't cost >$500 and isn't OLED, at least according to info on RTINGS website. Also, it seems that despite it not being mentioned in specs, it supports FRC, i.e. artificial 10 bit. That being said, it has shitty HDR: shitty colors in HDR and shitty local dimming that can't be disabled (ugly vertical line thathighlights some bright objects...).
Edit: Oh, and like M27Q Rev 1.0 it may have single overdrive mode applicable to all refhresh rates with enabled VRR, at least according to review by RTINGS.
Thanks for giving a great input. I'm sure it'll help out some people!
tarkov is a big exception as in resolution wont change your fps due to the cpu intensive nature.
if u dont have a bad gpu with a good cpu for some reason
Well, after watching this review i just might order one lol
Bought it and got disappointed with it and i just had to return it, the display is so orange and dim no matter what i tried to calibrate it, i have a hp x24ih thats half the price and its brighter and more vibrant than this one ( rtings rated the hp at 330 nits, the dell is rated at 430 nits yet it looks dimmer ), and i also have a lg 24mp60g thats a quarter of the price and its even more bright and vibrant than even the hp x24ih
Moral of the story is dont buy monitors based on online reviews, seeing what you're buying with your own eyes is an absolute must if you dont want to be dissapointed later
Dell G2724D vs Samsung Odyssey G5 S27AG50

He is god damn right. I hate 21:9. It looks like a movie and you're not a main character. Also this monitors are terrible for any text working, web browsing, coding, writing. You can't do that comfortable with looking from one corner to the other one.
hi im thinking of buying this for my PS5. Is using a headset my only option for sound?
You can also get some usb speakers that plug into the monitor, or I think it has an audio port? I’m outta town so I can’t look on mine rn. I’ll try to get back to ya asap
No mate it has no audio port or any USB port which socks as the spec is perfect for console. I use my galaxy buds paired with a Bluetooth connector on the PS5 so that's my only option for sound. Thanks
I just bought this for £300 in the UK, I hope I dont get one full of dead pixels or bleed
I recived my monitor. I have never payed more than £350 in my life for any monitor. I have to admit its not as good as my previous asus tuf vg27AQ, reason being the build in crosshairs option on the TUF were much better, The built in crosshair in this monitor only has 1 option and its horrendous, even worse the the defualt CSGO crosshair.
However the monitor for the price is absolutely solid. Well worth the £300. If you can pay a little extra the TUF vg27AQ at £330 would be a better option for sweaty FPS players.
