can't speak for dell, but for my LG (165hz base, up to 180hz), i had to enable the overdrive setting on my monitor, restart the computer, and then nvidia settings allowed me to go up to 180hz.

I think this is the third time BB has posted this price in the past two months. I picked up a few last time, and am happy with them. Although, I wonder if all of the sales indicate the imminent release of a new similar version.

Maybe. I think at $300 this is the perfect gaming / WFH monitor. So happy I got two now.

I got this and it really is very nice, just not sure why I don't get 165Mhz it only goes up to 144 and using display port, maybe a driver issue?

I went ahead and bought a new and open box one, just in case the open box one is messed up. I'll just return one or the other.

A good plan to mitigate any potential issues. I went with the Open Box excellent as well; ~$250 for this monitor is just too good to pass up. I have one already at home and am excited to have a matching pair!

I got 2 open boxes last time for 275 each and the monitors are super nice. No difference than brand new other than the one monitor wasn't entirely wrapped in the box. No scuffs no issues

Maybe try a different cable? Using the included DP cable I can run 165Hz np

How does the Dell compare to HP 27-inch QHD Gaming with Tilt/Height Adjustment with AMD FreeSync Premium Technology (X27q, 2021 m... [amazon.com]?

Sound like same panel, but HP is cheaper. I think link I sent goes to different retailer but Amazon sells for $288.
