Compare with the Dell S2721DGF, which is currently at $300. I'd rather have the Dell.

Your link seem to show that Samsung has better brightness and black uniformity. But i do trust Dell monitors for quality and reliability more.

With Samsung, I feel like people think they make good phones so they must make good monitors. I've never tried their $2000 displays but there are better options for budget models.

I would try to get for less unless you really need it. Monoprice has a better QHD IGZO monitor for $249.99. I'm not going to link it but I did buy one open box last black Friday for $180 and was satisfied.

My main monitor is a curved QHD VA Monoprice panel I have had for 2 years that retails for $190. I much prefer curved and VA for a primary monitor. Blacks are actually black and it's easier to see the edges of the screen.

And if you hate Monoprice, I would take a Dell over a budget Samsung. Dell has always proved reliable for me with laptops and monitors.

Just a follow. I did just get both the Samsung monitors in yesterday. To no one's surprise compared to my BenQ XL2730 and XL2720 (TN Panel) it's a night and day different in how vivid the color is.

I mainly play CoD Warzone 2. Not sure If I truly notice a different between 144hz and the current 165hz but I'm quite happy with the overall performance and look so far.

As long as they don't develop any issues (fingers crossed) two thumbs up!

Will the PS5 and XSX work at 120Hz with only HDMI 2.0? I thought it required HDMI 2.1?
