I've owned this monitor for about two weeks now. Best Buy had it for this price not too long ago. If you are looking for a gaming monitor to pair with the new generation Xbox, this is about as good as it gets. I have the Xbox S, so technically the 1080p is being upscaled to 1440p, but it still looks spectacular.
Perhaps I lucked out because I can't even find any IPS glow in my dimly office. The colors are vibrant and the responsiveness is immediate. I play Warzone primarily and could not be happier. The Build is completely solid with a Great balance between a Conservative Design/ and a Gamer style. For Sub 400, you cannot go wrong.

And oh yeah, I've been a slick deals creeper for about 10 years without ever posting. So be Gentle.

Is this a good deal? I'm in the market for a 27" 1440P monitor (was hoping for a curved screen though).

Do you know how favorable the monitor is having USB C instead of HDMI? I heard you can charge your laptop through the monitor which is a plus but I am not sure how useful the benefit is and if there are any other advantages.

I currently have an almost 10 year old Dell 24" Ultrasharp IPS 1080P monitor. I have a 1070 GTX video card, could I even take advantage of 165hz at 1440P? Gaming at 1080P is already around 120fps on most games, but increasing the resolution would bring my FPS down a bit.

I got a new phone that supports 120hz a few months ago. Its so smooth compared to my old 60hz phone display. I'm wondering if the experience is like that upgrading to this monitor?

That one is a VA panel.

I have the S2721DGF, upgraded from S2719DG. I love it! IPS makes a huge difference!

I had a 27" and going to 32" makes a huge difference!

This is a great monitor. Mine has barely any light bleed. My old 2004wfp ips died years ago and had been using a TN panel since. I forgot how good IPS panels color were. No regrets buying this for myself.

Dont forget the 10% off coupon.

VA tho but one of the best for the price imo. And 32" is much better than 27" imo. And the stand is fantastic.
I actually sold the 32" and bought this one. The 32" had some visible ghosting due to its VA panel, and a flickering issue when using G Sync that I and many others online experienced. The image is also crisper on the 27".

This monitor has excellent response times. I bought it to replace my Nixeus EDG 27, which had horrible ghosting issues. It's also nice to get a slight bump in jumping from 144hz to 165hz.

I spent a bit of time calibrating colors and brightness, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This monitor is definitely worth this price, imo.

How long should it take to receive an email with the code? I'll give it a few hours, just want to make sure the deal doesn't expire while I wait.

Bought this and my eyes are having trouble adjusting, any tips? Tried turning down the brightness, something still feels very off.

Upgraded from a same sized screen that was lower res (1920 by 1080) the LG
27" Class Slim IPS LED Monitor
27EA31V-B

The specs on the LG are old school but I was comfy for whtvr reason-- I dont know.

Any insight is appreciated (I am not a gamer btw)
