Don't forget if you have military/veteran/education or perhaps mailing list discount you can save an extra 10%, and then if you are an AMEX holder, check your offers to see if you have the $100 off $500 offer. Then you can also pay via PayPal for an additional $30 off. Net cost for me $562 all in. Absolutely worth it for that price over the S2721DGF. I have been running them side by side for a week now. The S2721DGF is a great monitor, but the AW monitor image quality is better in both standard and hdr content by a noticeable amount. I did not notice much difference between 165hz and 240hz though.

Side note, the AW does not have DSC and cannot run 10 bit color at 240hz unless you are in chroma sub sampling mode. You have to drop to 144hz for true 10 bit (and interestingly enough it also shows an option for 12 bit at 144hz). I tested this a bit. Color depth and appearance at 240hz / 8bit / HDR is not really noticeably different from 144hz / 10bit / HDR.

Edited for typos.

How do you get $30 off from PayPal? Is there some sort of promo?

It's for Amex Platinum - you don't have to add anything or sign up, they are just giving you a $30 statement credit per month through the end of June. You just have to pay with your platinum card through PayPal.

Ah okay, thanks for the info! You got a great deal! My Amex blue isn't showing any offers for Dell. Not sure if I should pull the trigger.

Read up on the Amex deal thread, some people were able to trigger the $100 off deal, if they did not had it on their card originally.

Why care for 1440p if you're going to just nuke the graphic options lol
1440p increases sharpness and clarity. It also improves aliasing a lot. I have used both 1080p and 1440p 27" monitors and the difference is very noticeable to me, not just side by side. When I play on the 1080p, jaggies are way way more visible and distracting.

Any current deals for monitors that can do up to 75hz, 1440p, IPS? Don't care about response time, for spreadsheets,financial stuff, programming, non FPS games.
>75Hz is worth it even in non-FPS games. If you can get up to 100-120fps range you will definitely notice. Also 144Hz 1440p mointors have come down in price in the past year or two. There is a deal right now on the Gigabyte M27Q, which is a great option at its price point.

I've done a side by side comparison with my Y27q-20 and a 27" TN panel that I gamed and browsed on for many years. At first I couldn't tell the difference besides brightness and colors being very vibrant. Then after a month I pulled up rocket league on my Xbox (1440p 120fps IPS monitor) and on my PC (1080p 60hz TN panel), I was like wth is this, the colors and jaggy pixels were noticeable immediately. That made me look for a new monitor aka this one or the Dell.

But you can have both with 1440p and 144hz.

Unfortunately, I don't have the $100 off $500 Amex deal. I do have a 5% off chase offer. Wondering if it's worth the deal. Dell says it will deliver by April 12. That seems quite long lol.
I ordered Friday morning with the 10% sign up and free expedited shipping, shipped same day, today Sunday is out for delivery already.

Edit: it's already delivered and set up. Really nice monitor.

If it was 32 i'd bite, I'd like to go bigger then what I currently have. The contrast also looks to be the standard (and a sad ~1000:1)
You can get the Acer XB323U https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08PPQHGCS/?coliid=I3AGR6AE6ILE92&colid=RSYVHGZBPT92&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_li... [amazon.com]
