Hot deal. Have had my eye on this for a while, was hoping to read some reviews on it from rtings, pcmonitors, etc. before pulling the trigger.

Anyone recall if ebates/rakuten had a good percentage for Dell last Labour Day?

How would the S2721DGF stack up against the S2716DGR?

Is a $100 increase worth the jump from a TN Panel to a ISP Panel?

In for one.
Seems to be equivalent to the Lenovo Y27q-20 (LG panel) but finally with a standard power plug and internal power brick, perfect for my existing cable management.
Thanks OP!

I love dell monitors, and this looks like a dream. With that being said, dell can be very hit and miss sometimes ( broken hinge, coil issue xps anyone?), so I'm going to sit this out till more reviews come in, and hopefully We get a lower price on Black Friday. Awesome deal though.

Edit- Anyone who buy this, please do chime in afterwards.

The technical specs say this is 144Hz: Native Resolution 2560 x 1440 at 144 Hz

I have the previous generation of this model and it's fantastic for gaming. They upgraded to IPS so the picture quality should be much better.

Correct, but you can officially overclock it in the menu OSD to 165Hz

Are you comparing Dell laptop issues with potential Dell monitor issues?

Its not really a direct comparison. Just a bit of my experience that relates with dell and QC issues. 500 is a lot for a monitor, and returns are a hassle. Never hurts to be on the cautious side.

There's lots of difference.
The Dell has:
- an IPS panel (better)
- a faster refresh rate
- G-Sync compatible
- HDR compliant
- has a USB hub
- the stand is very adjustable compared to no adjustment for the ASUS.

That ASUS has two things going for it. 4k resolution and price.

Tried to cancel the order because I entered the wrong shipping address.
Dell offered $24 to not cancel the order.
