Age old question by now... this IPS 240hz or keep my current TN 155hz. I'm on the fence if I should take the plunge. I play shooters and my PC can easily exceed 240fps in those games. Plus I have the $120 Amex offer.. gahh
Plunge.

i mean if you play shooters wouldnt you prefer a smaller monitor anyway? most people playing shooters including myself find anything above 24/25 too big, but if thats how you play go for it man

Beyond 120hz, such as 144hz is barely noticeable. 240hz is overkill.

This monitor is the same price as a 144 Hz 1440p Acer predator from 3-4 years ago.

Not to mention, you probably don't even want your GPU to run a marathon to display all of those frames you wont notice.

Ripoff.

Save your cash for an ultrawide or a cheaper 1440p display

The 240hz refresh rate really isn't its best selling point, at least for me. At this price its one of the best HDR monitor's (particularly for IPS panels), its got one of the best warranties you can get, great response times, its also got a native g sync module with variable overdrive.
The 240hz if anything is just future proofing.

looks like a good deal

reasons this is so expensive:
hardware g-sync (compare with other cheaper monitors that are g-sync compatible)
HDR
240Hz
3-year warranty

it doesn't have HDMI 2.1. All the new next Gen consoles use HDMI 2.1... i would wait for an updated version.
I'd imagine not many people are looking to use this with consoles. They wouldn't take advantage of the refresh rate.

It's convenient to have. In case people want to re-arrange their hardware after an upgrade or trying to save up space; in the future.

Great specs, make sure your GPU can run 240 fps at 1440p or else you're not using it to its full potential and can go cheaper.

I'm debating on getting this or the Samsung G7. I'm honestly not that big of a high fps gamer and would prefer better picture quality. Anyone have any suggestions?
Depends on what you mean by "picture quality." IPS typically handle off angles better, VA have better contrast but historically less detail in blacks. The G7 is curved and this is a flat panel, for what it's worth.

Here's TFT Central's review of the AW2721D which is about as in depth as you could want. https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/revi...w2721d.htm
I don't think their Odyssey G7 review is public just yet though.
