In Germany this monitor is currently available for ~230 EUR with the XG27ACS going for ~270. thats only a 17% difference for better refresh compliance/response times/input lag, 180Hz and even better color performance - which is probably worth it if you are going to keep the monitor for a couple years. sadly the AOC Q27G3XMN is still 360 EUR around here.

Yes but Asus is using innolux panels as well instead of BOE as reviewed and Innolux has always been worse than everyone even vs LG. Can you still recommend this monitor? It's recent info too, we have no idea how many are Innolux or BOE and where. The AOC is also rubbish with a host of problems that collectively make it a deal breaker monitor along with all the other budget constraints that came with it.
@@Siimplee2AOC is having a VA panel, so you have to compromise with viewing angle. I tested the KOORUI 240hz one as well. Didn’t like the HDR and Color performance.
Do you have solid evidence of the G2724D suffering from panel swaps? By solid evidence I'm referring to panel SKUs, service menu images, etc. A regular consumer in RTINGs comments saying "My panel measured 800:1" with no evidence backing up their claim is NOT solid evidence
Thanks for great review! Also thanks for adding to essentials checklist section with Panel bit depth, it is very important to receive a correct information from a manufacturer because i'm affected by FRC tech. I would also ask you to mark in checklist as failed if manufacturer didn't mention about FRC. Thank you very much for your hard work.
Thanks for the review. Someone went around saying they switched to a different panel for this one in some places and there's no coverage on it. I did however confirm with Asus that the Asus XG27ACS since you reviewed it also uses innolux panels, no idea what percentage, if it's replacing the BOE panels or if it's particular countries, but it was Asus USA. I was originally looking for info on the new XG27ACG which has the same shell as the ACS but is an "AUO" panel. I've gone back to recommending the G2724D here in Aus as it looks like we still stock AUO for it at the least.
What about U series? They renewed it with more eye care technologies, IPS black(2000:1 contrast ratio) and 120 Hz refresh rate for 27, 34 and 40 inches. Can you review Dell U2724DE, U3425WE and U4025QW? And not just for gaming but productivity and are they truly much better for eye health if you need to work 8-10 hours in front of it?
I have this monitor, bought it 9 months ago. Same issues, reddish/ yellowish tint, around 1000:1 contrast ratio. Fixed by fiddling with the colours in custom mode and changing the max and min brightness settings in the service menu. For some reason max was set to 198 and min to 123 if I recall correctly. I don't have solid evidence that my monitor has a different panel but maybe Dell uses different EU settings in compliance with some energy regulations.
With Black Friday coming I’m very much considering buying this in hopefully a nice discount. Though in case it doesn’t get discounted: would you say it’s still worth it at €235? Everything here is just (quite) a bit more expensive here in Europe than in the US. For context: - AOC Q27G3XMN: sits at €355 at the time of writing. Have seen it come down to €320 (shame it’s so expensive here I really like the idea of true HDR). - MSI G274QPF QD: not available in my country. - MSI G272QPF E2: sits at a very stable €180. Though I’m very unsure how it compares to the Dell G2724D. - Gigabyte M27QA: sits at €260 currently. - Gigabyte M27Q: sits at €223. Lastly: I don’t really care about high refresh rates. I’d always prefer picture quality (colours, contrast, etc)
I got the Dell G2724D last week. It's PERFECT for the PS5 using Console Mode. The Adaptive Sync is flawless! However, you'll need an Ultra Fast HDMI cable ($16), as the original PS5 HDMI cable didn't work for VRR at 1440p. Forget about 4K, 1440p will be the sweet spot for years to come. Assembly is easy peasy. It looks awesome! I paid only CAD $229. Totally RECOMMEND it. 👍
In my country the MSI MAG274QRF-QD is cheaper than this one by 20% or more, depending on where you get it from. I think that one easily is the best 1440p monitor one can buy given its price now.
The specs aren't as refined as the Dell, it uses an AUO panel predominantly. The higher contrast with good calibration out of box with still good response times (look specifically at the slow common outlier response transitions too)
I currently have the ASUS PG32UCDM 4K QD OLED as my main monitor and its brilliant. I decided to purchase the Dell G2724D as my secondary monitor and suffice to say I am very impressed!
There's also the KOORUI GN07, 27E1QA, and 27E3Q. I have the GN07 and my only issues with it is ghosting on faster response times and wobble on the provided VESA stand. Beyond, I think it's awesome.
the video again at the right time 😁 I have been using the Dell S2721DGFA for three years. That's the previous version. I'm actually happy with it. But now I would like to get an OLED 2k ultrawide or a 2k IPS ultrawide.. I'm undecided. OLED is still so expensive. I have a 4070 super. Mostly I only play shooter, so I'm wondering whether it even makes sense with an ultrawide. because some shooters don't support it. greetings. Thanks for the review
Dang im exactly the same, had the s2721dgfa for couple years but just 2 weeks ago I got the msi oled 27qrx 360hz monitor to max out my 4070 super. Best of luck on finding the right next monitor!
Hi, I’d been watching some of your monitor reviews and I like that you do a thorough job describing all the characteristics and you never forget about the minimum brightness, which is a very important aspect for me, because I prefer monitors to be rather dimmer because I watch video content in a darker room, whether it is a monitor or a TV. Now I have a specific question, I hope you can help me out with this one. If in the specs of an OLED it reads - “Quantum Dot Color- Yes” does it mean that it is a QD-OLED? My question is related to an European model -LS27DG602SUXEN (Samsung Odyssey G6). So “Quantum dot color -Yes” means QD-OLED for sure?
@@lessigasmr6492 VRR refers to refresh rate not screen resolution, 1440p gaming is the sweetspot between quality and performance / fast response time/ input lag, which as of 2 years ago the ps5 fully supports now
I want a 4K 21:9 monitor, I know there's a 5K 21:9 by Dell but IPS Black panel doesn't really tick the boxes. I'm also curious if Samsung has given up on it's Neo QLED Monitor line. I'm hoping we're going to see much brighter OLED panels at CES and I've got a feeling we might.
I purchased the monitor for $150 recently. It has such good colors and there is virtually no motion blur nor black smearing in game. I will be keeping this monitor (I have returned others for bad performance.)
I bought one of these for my wife for gaming and work (mostly presentations and word processing). She absolutely loves it and I have to say that it really blows any IPS monitor we have had out of the water. It has replaced an Asus PG278Q that was around 10 years old, I never thought I would see an IPS monitor challenge these "super fast" TN monitors of old with response times.
the g3223q has been available variously for 550-600 aud, almost half the price of the competitor gaming brand models, would be cool if you looked at that
can you do a video about the a good second/third monitor? most ppl here have a multi-monitor setup, and these videos help a lot in choosing your main monitor (expensive but high quality) but what monitors do u recommend for a 3 monitor setup? (they should be cheaper, maybe have better viewing angles, and not be oled since most of the stuff on there might be a static discord app open for hours on end...)
Hello Tim, Why no UFO test? I know there is no MBR option in the menu, but the test shows what we can expect in the end in comparison to other monitors. Or to see how well the blur is handeled even without a dedicated mbr functionality. I watch your videos primarily becaise of the UFO test : )
I was just about to buy the AsRock PG27QFT2A reviewed 2 weeks ago, but now DELL went for a massive price cut for the AW2724DM (not to be confused with the Dell 2724D).
Now I wonder. What´s the better choice? The AsRock PG27QFT2A for 180 USD or the AW2724DM for 290 USD (which was 380 USD before) ??
Want to treat myself this holiday season. Which gaming monitor should I get, the Dell G2724D or Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS? They are similar in price in my region and both reviews say they are great bang for buck monitors.
Would you please consider reviewing the AOC Q24G2A/BK please? It is a 24 inch 1440p monitor , best selling in China. Kitguru and other outlets that reviewed it said its very good but your opinion i value the most.
Great review!! Already have saved this monitor on E-Katalog if price will be better. Can you review MSI MAG 274QRF-QD E2 because it's the most popular monitor in my region and costs the same as Dell.
@@razor2049 Agreed. Didn't know about the panels being from multiple mfr's, I guess that's more recent? There always has been a crap-shoot in terms of backlight bleed and mine was good.
My unit has quite strong vignetting around the edges of the screen -- not very noticeable while gaming, but for productivity it's distracting. For $150, I've decided to keep it.
People are saying Dell actually uses one of a few different panels in this model number of monitor, which is misleading to the customer. It looks like you got one of the worse panel types and you got gypped.
Wow. I know the Aussie dollar isn't on par with the US dollar but paying over $500 Aussie for this monitor seems crazy. Since we can buy it from the Dell site in the USA for $180 US. That brand new from Dell with all of their support.
Hi, is there a chance for MSI MAG 27CQ6PF review? Its MSI's "Rapid VA" one, and looks very interesting AND AFFORDABLE! Currently very interested in it as my next one, and would love to see if there are any hidden dealbreakers
Good buy but in my region it's not that far from MSI MAG 274QRF-QD E2 but it doesn't have QD technology, wait... I can't find your model because QPF doesn't have QD in it's name... What?
@@Real_SkyRipper I'm considering qd e2 over xg27acs despite being slower, because the msi has better contrast-brightness and a kvm switch. Though, in some reviews and comments I've seen people say their units have panels that show different tones of white on left-right edges. (One side cool and other warm colors) have you noticed anything like that?
Hy Tim, this Dell monitor is a bit slow vs old Dell S2721DGF, i compared the response time from each monitor in your review and the old model is fasted .
Bought this monitor at the end of the last year, it had an extremely terrible yellow-ish tint (whatever I did, the white always looked yellow and I just couldn't look at it) so I had to return it, to this day I have no idea if that's just how every panel in this monitor looks or if I had a defective unit.
I have the same issue but with a gaming laptop monitor and its driving me crazy its like a "blue light filter", it only Happens when iam using gsync...
I am giga confused between getting this monitor at 315 euros vs AOC Q27G3XMN 420 euros. Gaming mostly and browsing internet use. Also since I'm from Europe I've seen lots of cases regarding sRGB clamps not working for AOC (don't even know what's that xD). Games i am mostly playing are wow,lol and single player but I still appreciate a fast response when once in a while play fps games. Any opinions?!
The dell or the LG GP850 (P/B)? I truly cannot decide...both are quite fast...one has better colors, the other one better contrast. Also is there a difference between Marketing "fast ips" and "nano ips"? Send help, please 😅
I'm literally in the same position, though I also have couple other options. All I want is great response times with good colors. Or as good as IPS can get.
I bought the Dell and a HP27q which supposedly has the same or similar lg panel, the dell has worse contrast a bit somehow even though it shouldn't based on reviews, reds look orange on the dell compared...hp has better response time and compliance too, unfortunately both have pretty bad ips glow
@Monitors Unboxed - did your sample have backlight bleed or IPS glow? I have this monitor and that is my only complaint. It should have much more than it has, on my example at least.
Lg are doing a similar thing with there monitors now putting older panels in new shiny cases and selling them off as new and improved… I was an ultragear fan boy and they definitely still make some of the best monitors out there but this shady repackaging of older panels needs to be pointed out to the consumer more so they understand exactly what there getting. Even some of there new bigger ultragear OLED models where old C1 OLEDs put into a new case and sold as new gaming panels.
Hoping you get to the new MSI MAG274QRF QD E2 soon. Appears to be an update to the MAG274QRF-QD that you liked in late 2020, with 180Hz. I just moved to China and bought one from the MSI official store on Taobao here for 1100CNY ($155). Seems excellent to this layperson. I have absolutely no idea how it's this cheap 🤷
As another lay person, I think the reduction in price may be due to the shipping cost being much cheaper, as well as not having to pay extra taxes or custom fees etc.
In the UK the ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS is still the best at around this price point (Amazon) I'm so glad I bought this monitor after watching your video on it and then seeing others make videos on it after ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS = £250 (180hz) Dell G2724D = £279 (165hz)
Do you have any tip for a 36"+, 4k, OLED monitor, that has the regular 16:9 format? Or just any incredibly good big monitor of the sorts? Thank you so much in advance
What about the xv271u? It has a 95% DCI-P3 Color Gamut with a 180hz Refresh Rate at 1440p. It seems like a great monitor for insane color accuracy and gaming. Are there any noticeable downsides other than the 250 Nit brightness?
@@FiveFiveZeroTwo The Dell G2724D is a newer monitor than the Dell S2721DGF, and they have many of the same features. They each have a 1440p resolution and 165Hz refresh rate, but the G2724D is an improvement in most areas.
Any recommendations instead of this one from LG? Have been using LG for quite a long time and I know they last a very long time so that's what I'm looking for
I checked mine G2724D on service menu and no even 200 Nits on full brightness. I have Acer Predator Triton 14 with 500 Nits and on half brightness is quite similar to full brightness G2724D. So yes - Dell must change something.

It's terrible; the VA variants of the Odyssey G3 and G5 are among the very worst performers in terms of response time and have bottom-of-the-barrel motion clarity. Only VA panels that are named Odyssey G6 and above have limited black smearing and are worth it, but they have other problems like high input lag at 60 Hz and scanlines.

The AOC is also rubbish with a host of problems that collectively make it a deal breaker monitor along with all the other budget constraints that came with it.
@@Siimplee2AOC is having a VA panel, so you have to compromise with viewing angle. I tested the KOORUI 240hz one as well. Didn’t like the HDR and Color performance.
That monitor is super image quality and refresh rate.I have been using it for 3 months.Excellent choice. You can also look at LG and Asus.
The way DELL treats its consumers by changing the panels in the 2724D like gloves is unacceptable.
Then what do i buy, i need some thing below 300 usd, can even wait for a sale.

Do you have solid evidence of the G2724D suffering from panel swaps? By solid evidence I'm referring to panel SKUs, service menu images, etc. A regular consumer in RTINGs comments saying "My panel measured 800:1" with no evidence backing up their claim is NOT solid evidence
Thanks for great review! Also thanks for adding to essentials checklist section with Panel bit depth, it is very important to receive a correct information from a manufacturer because i'm affected by FRC tech. I would also ask you to mark in checklist as failed if manufacturer didn't mention about FRC. Thank you very much for your hard work.
Thanks for the review.
Someone went around saying they switched to a different panel for this one in some places and there's no coverage on it.
I did however confirm with Asus that the Asus XG27ACS since you reviewed it also uses innolux panels, no idea what percentage, if it's replacing the BOE panels or if it's particular countries, but it was Asus USA. I was originally looking for info on the new XG27ACG which has the same shell as the ACS but is an "AUO" panel.
I've gone back to recommending the G2724D here in Aus as it looks like we still stock AUO for it at the least.
You're recommending this over XG27ACS?
@@bassyey yes va sucks
@@hungry_khid1007 XG27ACS has IPS. This channel reviewed it.
How certain are you Australia has the good panels for the g2724d?
What about U series? They renewed it with more eye care technologies, IPS black(2000:1 contrast ratio) and 120 Hz refresh rate for 27, 34 and 40 inches. Can you review Dell U2724DE, U3425WE and U4025QW? And not just for gaming but productivity and are they truly much better for eye health if you need to work 8-10 hours in front of it?
I have this monitor, bought it 9 months ago. Same issues, reddish/ yellowish tint, around 1000:1 contrast ratio. Fixed by fiddling with the colours in custom mode and changing the max and min brightness settings in the service menu. For some reason max was set to 198 and min to 123 if I recall correctly. I don't have solid evidence that my monitor has a different panel but maybe Dell uses different EU settings in compliance with some energy regulations.
What values you have now for max and sub brightness in service menu?
Just got this monitor, would love to know how you got yours tweaked!
Can you share your settings? And do you have kind of greyish tint on white colour?
With Black Friday coming I’m very much considering buying this in hopefully a nice discount. Though in case it doesn’t get discounted: would you say it’s still worth it at €235? Everything here is just (quite) a bit more expensive here in Europe than in the US. For context:
- AOC Q27G3XMN: sits at €355 at the time of writing. Have seen it come down to €320 (shame it’s so expensive here I really like the idea of true HDR).
- MSI G274QPF QD: not available in my country.
- MSI G272QPF E2: sits at a very stable €180. Though I’m very unsure how it compares to the Dell G2724D.
- Gigabyte M27QA: sits at €260 currently.
- Gigabyte M27Q: sits at €223.
Lastly: I don’t really care about high refresh rates. I’d always prefer picture quality (colours, contrast, etc)
I got the Dell G2724D last week. It's PERFECT for the PS5 using Console Mode. The Adaptive Sync is flawless! However, you'll need an Ultra Fast HDMI cable ($16), as the original PS5 HDMI cable didn't work for VRR at 1440p. Forget about 4K, 1440p will be the sweet spot for years to come. Assembly is easy peasy. It looks awesome! I paid only CAD $229. Totally RECOMMEND it. 👍

Why every Dell G2724D video has this comment......lol
In my country the MSI MAG274QRF-QD is cheaper than this one by 20% or more, depending on where you get it from. I think that one easily is the best 1440p monitor one can buy given its price now.
The specs aren't as refined as the Dell, it uses an AUO panel predominantly. The higher contrast with good calibration out of box with still good response times (look specifically at the slow common outlier response transitions too)

the video again at the right time 😁 I have been using the Dell S2721DGFA for three years. That's the previous version. I'm actually happy with it. But now I would like to get an OLED 2k ultrawide or a 2k IPS ultrawide.. I'm undecided. OLED is still so expensive. I have a 4070 super.

Hi, I’d been watching some of your monitor reviews and I like that you do a thorough job describing all the characteristics and you never forget about the minimum brightness, which is a very important aspect for me, because I prefer monitors to be rather dimmer because I watch video content in a darker room, whether it is a monitor or a TV. Now I have a specific question, I hope you can help me out with this one. If in the specs of an OLED it reads - “Quantum Dot Color- Yes” does it mean that it is a QD-OLED? My question is related to an European model -LS27DG602SUXEN (Samsung Odyssey G6). So “Quantum dot color -Yes” means QD-OLED for sure?

How does it compare to the AOC Q27G3XMN? Great video as always!
I want a 4K 21:9 monitor, I know there's a 5K 21:9 by Dell but IPS Black panel doesn't really tick the boxes. I'm also curious if Samsung has given up on it's Neo QLED Monitor line. I'm hoping we're going to see much brighter OLED panels at CES and I've got a feeling we might.
Thanks for the review. When are you guys making a video about the AOC Q27G4F - 27" 1440p 180hz IPS ? ❤
I purchased the monitor for $150 recently. It has such good colors and there is virtually no motion blur nor black smearing in game. I will be keeping this monitor (I have returned others for bad performance.)
I bought one of these for my wife for gaming and work (mostly presentations and word processing). She absolutely loves it and I have to say that it really blows any IPS monitor we have had out of the water. It has replaced an Asus PG278Q that was around 10 years old, I never thought I would see an IPS monitor challenge these "super fast" TN monitors of old with response times.
the g3223q has been available variously for 550-600 aud, almost half the price of the competitor gaming brand models, would be cool if you looked at that
I have not seen any review of LG 27GR75Q please review this model and do a comparison with Gigabyte M27Q rev 2🙏🙏
I recommend trying the Koorui GN10 (my monitor), 3-400€, 1440p 27", HDR1000 miniled, 240Hz. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
can you do a video about the a good second/third monitor? most ppl here have a multi-monitor setup, and these videos help a lot in choosing your main monitor (expensive but high quality) but what monitors do u recommend for a 3 monitor setup? (they should be cheaper, maybe have better viewing angles, and not be oled since most of the stuff on there might be a static discord app open for hours on end...)
Hello Tim,
Why no UFO test? I know there is no MBR option in the menu, but the test shows what we can expect in the end in comparison to other monitors. Or to see how well the blur is handeled even without a dedicated mbr functionality. I watch your videos primarily becaise of the UFO test : )

I was just about to buy the AsRock PG27QFT2A reviewed 2 weeks ago, but now DELL went for a massive price cut for the AW2724DM (not to be confused with the Dell 2724D).
Now I wonder. What´s the better choice? The AsRock PG27QFT2A for 180 USD or the AW2724DM for 290 USD (which was 380 USD before) ??
The successor model g2725 is already on the market. Would be nice to have a review of that.
I have this monitor, it's great!
Want to treat myself this holiday season. Which gaming monitor should I get, the Dell G2724D or Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS? They are similar in price in my region and both reviews say they are great bang for buck monitors.
Would you please consider reviewing the AOC Q24G2A/BK please? It is a 24 inch 1440p monitor , best selling in China. Kitguru and other outlets that reviewed it said its very good but your opinion i value the most.
24 inches fits most desks and 1440p 165 Hz on 24 inch is OK for E -sports, Excel excellent PPI...
Great review!! Already have saved this monitor on E-Katalog if price will be better. Can you review MSI MAG 274QRF-QD E2 because it's the most popular monitor in my region and costs the same as Dell.
The 2721 was also very nice monitor and the Best IPS Panel on the Market
This is basically the S2721DGF from 2020 without the USB hub built in.
Yes, I bought the S2721DGF about three years ago and it has been an excellent monitor! It was priced at around $240 USD back then.
nope other panel^^ the 2721 is better
@@razor2049 Agreed. Didn't know about the panels being from multiple mfr's, I guess that's more recent? There always has been a crap-shoot in terms of backlight bleed and mine was good.
It seems another difference is that the new one only has ~100% SRGB as opposed to ~100% DCI P3.
Just picked up a second one of these near new for $200 AUD or $135USD. Good deals to be had on the used market.
My unit has quite strong vignetting around the edges of the screen -- not very noticeable while gaming, but for productivity it's distracting. For $150, I've decided to keep it.

Hy Tim, this Dell monitor is a bit slow vs old Dell S2721DGF, i compared the response time from each monitor in your review and the old model is fasted .
Bought this monitor at the end of the last year, it had an extremely terrible yellow-ish tint (whatever I did, the white always looked yellow and I just couldn't look at it) so I had to return it, to this day I have no idea if that's just how every panel in this monitor looks or if I had a defective unit.
I have the same issue but with a gaming laptop monitor and its driving me crazy its like a "blue light filter", it only Happens when iam using gsync...
Almost bought this few months ago, but I went for the MSI MAG274QRF-QD E2 instead. Wonder if you can review this?
I am giga confused between getting this monitor at 315 euros vs AOC Q27G3XMN 420 euros. Gaming mostly and browsing internet use. Also since I'm from Europe I've seen lots of cases regarding sRGB clamps not working for AOC (don't even know what's that xD). Games i am mostly playing are wow,lol and single player but I still appreciate a fast response when once in a while play fps games. Any opinions?!
Just bought this, hopefully it satisfies my Xbox 1440/120hz without issues
The dell or the LG GP850 (P/B)? I truly cannot decide...both are quite fast...one has better colors, the other one better contrast. Also is there a difference between Marketing "fast ips" and "nano ips"? Send help, please 😅
I'm literally in the same position, though I also have couple other options. All I want is great response times with good colors. Or as good as IPS can get.
I'm in the same boat😅

Lg are doing a similar thing with there monitors now putting older panels in new shiny cases and selling them off as new and improved… I was an ultragear fan boy and they definitely still make some of the best monitors out there but this shady repackaging of older panels needs to be pointed out to the consumer more so they understand exactly what there getting. Even some of there new bigger ultragear OLED models where old C1 OLEDs put into a new case and sold as new gaming panels.
Hoping you get to the new MSI MAG274QRF QD E2 soon. Appears to be an update to the MAG274QRF-QD that you liked in late 2020, with 180Hz. I just moved to China and bought one from the MSI official store on Taobao here for 1100CNY ($155). Seems excellent to this layperson. I have absolutely no idea how it's this cheap 🤷
As another lay person, I think the reduction in price may be due to the shipping cost being much cheaper, as well as not having to pay extra taxes or custom fees etc.

It's terrible; the VA variants of the Odyssey G3 and G5 are among the very worst performers in terms of response time and have bottom-of-the-barrel motion clarity. Only VA panels that are named Odyssey G6 and above have limited black smearing and are worth it, but they have other problems like high input lag at 60 Hz and scanlines.
