Seems like a good deal to me. I actually picked one up last week at 269, but the price dropped to $249. Dell customer service was good about price matching and issued me a refund of $20 buck without any hassle.

Stole some of the description below from the previous posts. Enjoy!

Featured Comments

I picked one of these up based on a few glowing reviews on youtube and reddit although there is still no technical data from the likes of someone like RTINGS. It is supposedly comparable if not favorable to the popular M27Q with slightly better brightness/clarity and slightly worse color gamut. I trust Dell enough to roll the dice on this. Mine comes in tomorrow.

UPDATE: I tested the monitor out. If you are buying for competitive gaming I would wait for the technical review since the fastest overdrive setting has very noticeable inverse ghosting. The lowest setting has none and the middle setting has practically none. I merely wanted a higher refresh rate and low motion blur without using black frame insertion and this monitor delivers on that. The colors are vibrant and 10 bit color equivalent can be enabled through Nvidia settings. I used some test images to verify it could actually smoothly produce 10 bit gradients since the product page says it's only 8 bit. There is very little IPS glow and the contrast was better than expected.

Yeah why is this not frontpage already? Seems like a good deal for 27in IPS 1440 res....I'm considering two of this to upgrade from my 24in 1440 setup I purchased during 2020. Or do I wait for a deal on a 49in curve? I do not game, I only use for work and web.

It's a good deal. I don't like how hot it gets on the bottom. Small vents on the bottom sides is all it has for air intake but entire top is vented. During the summer sometimes the monitor isn't recognized or the USB ports on the bottom don't work till I power cycle it. I think it's due to heat.

Other than the heat, this monitor is pretty awesome unless you are like the first commentor expecting more performance. If you want higher refresh rates at 1440p for an IPS panel you'll have to spend more.

If you don't game you probably don't need the higher refresh rates of this monitor. Maybe 27" 4k IPS

I ordered one early yesterday morning, but luckily saw a Reddit post mention that a certain R website is doing CB for Dell, so I cancelled and reordered. Should be 10% back.

Replacing a Dell S2440L which has served me well. I'm thinking this will pair nicely with the ASUS Creator OLED laptop with an RTX 3050 6GB I just got from Best Buy for $699. Initially, I had gotten the OLED Zenbook they have for $549, but I ended up wanting some sort of GPU. That laptop also left me wanting a higher refresh rate for web browsing, so this monitor will alleviate that and hopefully I'll get ~100 FPS in some games that aren't too demanding.

Forgot to mention that the shipping is insanely fast. I ordered 9/20/23 at around 5 AM and it's arriving tonight, 9/21/23.

I've had this monitor for several years now. Very happy with it but thinking about upgrading it to a larger 32 inch display. Not sure if it would be worth it or not?

I own two 28 inch monitors and recently purchased the LG ultragear 27 inch ips and for some reason that 1 inch difference bothered me. I'm waiting for something like the HP x32 to go on sale on black Friday again. 27 inch just seemed so small compared to 28 inch.

Bruh, this monitor got released late June this year. The 27 in the name is the size and the 24 is the year, although like cars they do release them with next year numbers coz they expect to sell it through 2024. You might have a different model.

This has been at this prince since a week. I just got it delivered today and I'm pleasantly surprised at the image quality and contrast.

For context I run a triple monitor setup, all Dell.
- A 32 inch G3223D IPS 1440p 144Hz center monitor
- A 4k 60 Hz U2723QE color calibrated monitor with IPS black panel on one side (Costs $600)
- And this G2724D on the other side

And guess what, this $250 monitor looks almost identical to the $600 reference monitor. This isn't an IPS Black monitor but impressively close to it compared to many IPS panels out there. (For context, IPS Black is as good as an IPS gets matching some and beating some VA panels in terms of contrast. OLED is a different beast though).

Weirdly, I'm left with my main center and larger monitor to be less contrasty making it appear less quality even though it is pretty good. Its just that when when you have things side by side, our brain gets fixated on the relative differences. Wait, is it OCD?

Also, I just happen to be one of fhe lucky ones that was able to snatch the G3223D for $300 bundled with a $150 gift card which is spent on this one. It now sells for $450 without any GC.

Thanks for reading my mini novel. All that is just to say this a pretty good IPS monitor especially at this price or less. And this is 100% sRGB too and colors look nice and vibrant.

I agreed. Once you get used to 32 inches. 27 inches seem too small.
