Gaming Monitor Deals & Offers

Yes, nice to see prices coming back down to BF before Xmas rush.

Gah, a shame its only 75Hz but easy enough to hit 75 frames per second with a middle of the road gfx card these days!

Tell her this monitor offers 78% more pixels compared to 1080p. If you couple that with a 2.75x in refresh rate means you'll drastically increase productivity and finish your work in no time at all. You could argue that the increase in productivity means this thing will pay for itself before you know it 8)

Ummmmm....the kids spilt water in the old one..

Primarily due to the XG2703-GS and AG271QG having options to control the gamma (unlike the XB271HU), without such option (or proper calibration with the use of a colorimeter) you could easily be stuck with washed out colours (due to a low gamma). According to NCX, the XB271HU also has the worst overdrive (by a small amount) of the four (from Acer, Asus, ViewSonic and AOC). Also, the XB271HU notoriously (with a lack of sharpness control) can appear blurry and less sharp than the alternatives from the 3 other brands.

Any reason at all for picking those 2 ?

I would easily pick the XG2703-GS or AG271QG over this. Though, I wouldn't get any of them since a new panel is due for release very soon.

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

Rocket League springs to mind. It's also great for people who play CSGO as that reaches way beyond 240 fps. Black Ops IIII can be tweaked to hit 240 as well. I'm sure there will be others that run just as highly, too.

Ok?

damn man its a TN panel :( was about to purchase it when i just noticed that. Wish it was IPS, as i think that IPS panels look much nicer.

I didn't say the 32gb Ram was a waste though did I :/ Nor did I say that you were paying extra for the RAM Have you replied to the wrong comment perhaps , I am not sure your comment was meant for me

Yeah, which is why I said FOR GAMERS

Yes but content creators or power users may want that, nothing specifically says "This laptop is ONLY for gamers"

These laptops are aimed at content creators / power users and gamers so 32GB isnt a waste. Also technically its cheaper than the competitors in the same category so your not paying extra for the RAM.

Thanks

Says TN

Is this a TN panel or IPS?

I've voted cold because I picked this monitor up on Black Friday for £199 from Scan. It is however a good monitor; I have 2, having bought the first one for £249, which is generally the "normal" price for this monitor. £338 is a stretch. Speakers are rubbish, but personally I think the monitor is very good quality for my uses which include Gaming, Software Development, and watching movies. given the price isnt an AMAZING deal, perhaps a lukewarm vote would have been more appropriate :)

Voted hot for 4k

Which is better for Xbox / PS4, this or the ASUS VP28UQG? The ASUS VP28UQG is £70 cheaper.

Excellent price for a 4K monitor, I'd snap this up if I wasn't after 144hz.

Good deal op https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/AOC-Monitor-Response-Adaptive-G2260VWQ6/product/B0158L13M4

VESA is the standards body behind both DisplayPort and Freesync so if you're talking about the mounting standard you might want to lengthen the bit in the title to VESA Mount or similar.

Yes or no would have sufficed

Thanks for that. I have actually already had a quick glance at the specs sheet but could not see any specific mention of speakers or the lack of them. I guess that I will have to take that as meaning NO speakers.

no longer available :(

To be fair, every monitor set to fast pixel response exhibits extreme overshoot ghosting, be it IPS/VA/TN. Any competent reviewer would know this. Current "1ms" figures when not using a scanning backlight are only possible with overshoot. You either accept that or use the medium setting and put up with some blur. The technology has not changed or improved in at least 7 years.

I bought this from Dell a few days ago for £165. It looks slick and love the stand which rotates, swivels and tilts.

Not particularly encouraging... 'This monitor boasts 1ms (GTG) response times, but comes set to a slower 4ms response time by default. Jumping into the menus and enabling the ‘Super Fast’ response time setting brings it to 1ms, but introduces bright white ghosting to any fast moving elements on the screen. We find games basically unplayable with this setting, and have to deal with the slower response time.' (https://www.techradar.com/uk/reviews/dell-24-gaming-monitor).

Hot

In this title it says QHD not WQHD I was thinking a 4k 144hz for 335? I thought something was wrong

Hmmmm I paid £260 for this on Amazon last year. I know, time machine and all that...but pretty sure that wasn't a special deal or anything. Can't see Amazon stocking it anymore now though. It's a decent monitor for the price, no issues with mine. And no bother about it being TN, colours are very similar to my IPS screen it sits next to

Haters gonna hate. Some will notice tear, others wont. There's no doubt G-Sync is a rip off though, this is Nvidia we are talking about though so no surprises there.

Consumers placebo to justify there purchases

Thats a totally subjective opinion. For some its very noticeable so you should speak for yourself, not everyone.

G sync is a rip off and screen tearing isnt noticeable at these sort of framerates anyway

No point pretending that there isnt a huge G-Sync premium. For a G-sync 27" this price is the best out there at this point in time. Sounds hot to me :D

Yes as I was thinking about that one or the one for 1499 with 144 hz and 8750 processor

Are you sure?

Was 1299 few weeks ago

Thats the one in this deal. 7700 & 24GB Ram...

1399. Sorry mate. https://www.box.co.uk/GL702VS-BA175T-ASUS-ROG-STRIX-GL702VS-BA175T_2335911.html

Pricematched eBuyer

Not a huge issue but might bother some... aren't the pictures you've used showing the 27" model?... 24.5 appears to have slightly bigger bezels.

In all honesty, the ghosting isn't an issue for me. With freesync enabled, overdrive is locked at normal. It's only really visible in Fortnite, but it's not an issue at all, and is a common issue with high-response-time monitors. The ghosting essentially gets worse the higher the overdrive is, as it forces the pixels to refresh faster, resulting in colour overshoot. But when freesync is off, you have the ability to adjust it between off, normal, and extreme. On off, it's less noticeable, but bare in mind you'll have no freesync. Overall though, it's not an issue once you stop looking for it. You can't go wrong for under 100.

Thanks for the comments - it'll be used for gaming and I will indeed be using a headset so don't care about speakers. Are you able to disable the overdrive feature then, or is the ghosting not a massive issue?

While I can't speak for the Blackhawks, I have this monitor, and it's pretty damn decent for the price. I'd say the only real issue with it is the ghosting that occurs due to the overdrive feature. Speakers are also kinda funny, but you should be using a headset anyway. What were you planning to use a monitor like this with?

Tut,tut. You've missed something.

Which is why this is clearly a gaming monitor but as you suggest not a Jack of all trades.

You bought KG271 that is 75Hz. This is KG271B that is 240Hz

If doing any sort of productivity work 1080p just doesn't cut it at 27".

It also has Freesync

Is this a VA screen? Could it be used for office work as well as gaming?

It's pretty bad. I didn't check for dead pixels.

is it that bad? Any dead pixels btw? Is it good for play games? And watching movies ocasionaly.

You do not have 144hz on console.

no problem. The bigger the better - for consoles!

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!

AHVA is practically the same as IPS.

I have this monitor. It got AHVA panel not IPS. You can see slight IPS like glow but not bad as some dell ultra sharp IPS monitors I used. Unit also free from edge back light bleed. Freesync working superbly. However If you set refresh rate to 144hz you'll notice slight ghosting (you'll not notice this unless you very carefully look into it). Set refresh rate to 120hz and its completely gone. Colour reproduction is very accurate out of the box. You can improve further but I didn't bother due to I'm not doing any serious graphics work. BTW this is 8bit panel. Built in speakers are poor. (Ok if your listing to music at low volume).

but is it backlight bleed? More likely IPS glow.

It doesn't support vesa but you can get adapters off Amazon for like £10

Thanks for giving me the idea of the monitor mount. I think I'm going to get it now cause of that.

edit: However monitor is really light. Stand is all metal but rather thin.

Stand is one thing I haven't tested! I've put it straight into my monitor mount

What is the stability like? I've heard the stand isn't very supportive. This monitor fits the bill for what I need. High refresh rate, excellent price and from what i've read, it seems to get good reviews.
