VA. Maybe have a look at the MSI Optix MAG271CQR. It's on eBay for £283. That's a VA.

Thanks!

Owned this monitor and although the 240hz is insanely good for Siege or CSGO, etc. I felt the resolution was too poor for me even at 25". I ended up swapping it for a 1440p 144hz from Dell instead. I'm not knocking the panel though, at this price, if you are a serious CSGO or Overwatch gamer, the 240hz is another jump in fluidity and response and an excellent experience in those games. If you play other games though, you might feel let down with the resolution and colours.

Yes, IPS for photo editing, TN for gaming and VA for either tasks i believe.

Not saying its bad panel. There is high quality TN panels on the market that on par with IPS, but might be useful to someone who is looking for VA (like myself) or IPS

I already bought the S2719DGF. It did cost me an extra 80 quid on top of this monitor but for the quad HD screen it's better, and at 27". Its capable of 155hz oveclocked over Display port but I just use the HDMI 2.0 cable that came with it so it's maxed at 1440p 144hz which is fine for me, can't really tell the extra 11hz :)

sold out

Which Dell 2K 144hz are you getting?

I had this monitor for a while and loved it. I don't think it's a huge upgrade for people who have 120/144hz already. It's beautiful to look at and built like a tank. Don't go thinking you will be able to Max all games out and reach 200+ frames. You need a mega fast CPU to hit those frames, even at low graphics settings as the GPU becomes a bit useless at this resolution at those kinds of frame rates. I decided to get a Dell 1440p 144hz with freesync instead as it's a better balance imo. 144hz at 1440p is the sweet spot, and if you are someone with a less capable machine to hit 1440p, the likelyhood is that your CPU is too weak to hit 200+ fps so 1080p 144hz would be enough and probably cheaper. Good price though and heat added.

Apex legends at 240Hz does make a slight difference over 144Hz. This monitor is amazing in build quality and picture quality

I don't, sorry. But it's worth keeping an eye on the site and on the coupon/discount sites. As they do seem to change a lot. Alienware seems to be a bit of a rarity however.

Do you know how often they refresh their discount codes? This would be an ideal system :)

Ya it ended a few days ago from what I can see. I found a 40% Off code on Voucher Codes UK: DELL2

Code no longer working :(

Same here, I also received gtx970 3way sli

I guess I won't really benefit from 240hz but 1080p will give me more fps. Decisions decisions

Yes although just remember that photos usually get post processed to increase colour and contrast so this isn't actually accurate. I would say in real life the colour is duller

I'd go with a higher resolution monitor if you ware willing to pay the extra.

Looks alright in this picture. S2719dgf is 379 from dell. But I start uni September will get 20% off as student.

Mind you the colours on this monitor are actually quite decent.

Possibly could yes :)

Is there any punishment for dying? You could just boost your 5 kills with other people on the trial.

Just tried this. Working for me. Not expired

Same here, I voted expired.

Same here.

Not much of a saving, only 1p?* *Note to moderator, joke.

Did you go for the Helios in the end? Im stuck between this and the 500 too.

The deals finished now although it does say for up to £300 off call a number. I didn't see any option to change the colour :/ The screen put me off buying, looking at the helios 500 but I can't find any deals whatsoever...

Dont get me wrong, its a good deal, and great machine; but not everyone that votes will take the time to read the full description before voting. 4 weeks ago i paid £1500ish for the same machine with 16gb Ram, a 1070 & in Black. Very happy with it

I Added it to description instead...

You might aswell have added £5 to the price and included the 256gb ssd

Back in stock

If you're that picky it's the heat sink. But as you can see if you read the comments this was already addressed. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to message me though. Feeling special *blush* x

CPU comes ready pasted? Sounds like someone hasn’t actually built a PC at all (lol)

no, no, this could go on for weeks.

ditto

Are these good deals? I'm bidding my time looking for a decent laptop with a 1080 or 1070. I hear msi are good, Asus bad, dell expensive. I have an old dell xps atm

1. there is one or 2 pieces from each laptop 2. all of them are refurb 3. still over £1000

For outlet stuff? no.

Dell is quite expensive

Any ideas where the best place to buy additional ram is?

Purchased too thanks OP I’ve been after one of these for a while now 👌 (y) 🤤

Use the code ‘AW15’. Then also click through to Dell via Quidco to potentially get 6% cash back. I went for the slightly higher spec one in the end as wanted SSD.

There are two versions. I linked to the cheaper one but if you pick the other it is a larger saving

They are a business and not everyone wants to fit their own RAM or even knows how to... anyway if you don’t want it, just buy the base spec and get the other bits yourself. OP, how did you get this price?

Haha, I had a budget of £600 for my son's Xmas laptop and got him a £800 msi with a 3gb 1060. Was debating getting myself a msi 6gb with a i7-8750 for £1100, although this is max q (reakon about 5fps less than a standard) still works out alot cheaper :D

I initially only wanted to spend 750. oh dear me (excited)

For the extra £80 though if ya spending £850... 😁

Dont really need a better CPU. Would be nice though.

This isn't too bad for 934 for the better processor https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/cty/pdp/spd/g-series-15-5587-laptop/cn55825?selectionState=eyJPQyI6ImNuNTU4MjUiLCJRdHkiOjEsIk1vZHMiOlt7IklkIjo1NzIsIk9wdHMiOlt7IklkIjoiRkcwMDYyIn1dfSx7IklkIjo2NzYsIk9wdHMiOlt7IklkIjoiR1c0TFVWNyJ9XX0seyJJZCI6NzQ5LCJPcHRzIjpbeyJJZCI6IkdTM0ZUVkwifV19XX0%3D&cartItemId=fd247075-1b0e-4a9e-b556-176607e29786&ref=cartconfigedit

No throttling issues so far, although i havent been playing AAA titles. I'll pass on more feedback after the weekend

Yes mate . In the end went with a gigabyte 15x. How's the throttling/temps on your r5?

Very happy after my first evening with it... Certainly has a quality feel to it

Collecting my Alienware tonight for anyone interested (I was away over Xmas). Happy to pass on any feedback or answer any Qs once up and running

Even quoting the price and spec i got?

Typical looking also :(

My 2 got delivered today and very happy with it. Shame price has gone up

damn its expired now :(

Does anyone have any student vouchers please? They are free if you have a student email address, unfortunetly dell dont accept NUS :(

How are dell for returns? Are they as good as amazon? Was thinking to get this and try it out. Would I be able to return it if I didn’t like the screen

My replacement came and is perfect. No light bleed whatsoever. Happy now

Mine was collected today by DPD.

By the way, mine was picked up by some guy in a van, no slip or anything to say that he was collecting it, had to make him sign a piece of paper that said he did:)) also kept a copy from my cctv to show that he came in and picked it up.

Curious to know if the replacements are any better. I couldn't be bothered with the whole "lottery" thing.

My stand is rock solid but the issue I have is the panel in top left isn’t adhered properly so you can physically see the individual leds reflecting. Got a replacement coming so hope that’s better.

Well I just thought your comment might make people actually think they're cheaply made, they're not. Having said that I wouldn't pay this much for a 1060 version.

Yeah you might be, the Alienware laptops are top notch though.

Why so much for a Dell?...

In the US, you can get the R5 17" 1070 version of this for this price https://www.bestbuy.com/site/alienware-17-3-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-256gb-solid-state-drive-1tb-hard-drive-black/6228319.p?skuId=6228319 Unfortunately if you buy a Dell or Alienware from a store in the US, the warranty doesn't apply outside the US. You only get the "premium" warranty from buying from the Dell website.

Seems it's an extra £200 (shock) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07G4TZPRJ

Does anyone know if this still comes with the 3 year basic warranty with advances exchange you get if you order directly through Dell?

this is now available for delivery before Xmas :) thanks op!

I have!

Order it ;)

Nice one. I got mine this morning, but it's still in the box as I'm stuck working through till (hopefully) sometime tomorrow. I'm looking forward to having a high refresh rate monitor again as, I sold my 144Hz monitor a couple of years ago. Oh, and if you need a recommendation for what to try, Rocket League is wonderful at a high refresh rate!Btw, for anyone ordering this, the box is MASSIVE!
