Not bad, but pretty sure you've been able to get this price or even better directly from Dell for quite some time.

Also, this is a TN panel (albeit apparently a very good one). It is not a good choice of photo editors. Since you can now get high refresh 1440p IPS panels for not much more than this, this Dell monitor is not as compelling as it once was.

If you're looking for IPS, consider finding either of these for a comparable monitor at a similar price point:
LG 27GL83A-B https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07YGZL8XF/ - $480 retail
LG 27GL850-B https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07TD94TQF/ - $550 on sale

They're both out of stock at the moment (since they sell fast) but they're both 1440p IPS 144Hz Freesync (GSync compatible)
They use the same panel but with a different backlighting, leading to a wider color gamut on the 850

You can get IPS monitors with similar specs for ~$400. Don't know why Dell is still charging that much for a TN...

Do you have an recent examples. I've been looking for qhd 144 Hz for a while and this seems like a reasonable price. All the IpS panels seems to be 150 more at least.

Viewsonic VX2758-2KP-mhd is probably the best reviewed at the lowest price point.
Don't buy a 27" TN panel, you will regret it. Move a few inches in your chair and the whole monitor shifts color.
The Viewsonic is around $450, and wouldn't be surprised if you see $399 on sale once stock becomes more widely available.

I've had this monitor for over 2 yrs now. It's an excellent monitor for gaming and a general computing (office). It's not that great for photo-video editing. Anti-glare screen is god sent, 2560 x 1440 at 144Hz, Nvidia G-sync, 1ms response time. For gaming, you cannot go wrong with this. I paid over $500 directly from Dell 2 yrs ago - which was on sale at the time, so $399 is a fantastic price for a fantastic monitor.

If you’ve returned over 15 monitors in a single year I think you might need to re-evaluate where the actually problem here is...

Not too bad of a deal it was on sale for $416 with the 10% discount during the site wide sale at dell that ended yesterday. A lot of people complained about getting refurbed units from DELL in the reviews on DELL. I just got this IPS from Lenovo, it is not for gaming, but for work :L27Q-20

what is the latest on G-SYNC? I haven't been keeping up.
do you still need "G-SYNC" monitor or any freesync monitor works with G-SYNC now?
OP's deal is G-SYNC monitor while other deals you guys suggest aren't
