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.

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.
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.

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.
