nice vid! love my s2721dgf but the colors on the VA look nice too...wonder why samsung wouldnt make that VA in a non-curved screen? kind of like their 32” Q50 tv, but with all the features of a gaming monitor
Loving the content, very informative! Testing the two best available right now. Would love to see a similar tests done with pc gameplay 😁 testing higher frames(144+) with lower settings vs higher settings with lower fps (30-60). 1080p vs 1440p. Console gaming vs pc is such a different experience. 60 fps on console looks and feels so smooth, but on pc its almost impossible to play on.. Also testing the quality om streaming services vs ps5/xbox 4k player. If you can get a hold of something thats dosnet get copyright issues that is ofc. Bought a g7 while they were out of stock and currently they won't get any in stock until February... Unofficial date. So doubt it will take that long though, other tech stores in my country will get stock before that. But got a great deal, so had to order from them. Watching your vids makes the wait a bit more tolerable, also it makes me appreciate my monitor choice a lot more.
That’s not exactly true. I had a dell ordered for £327, but it got delayed. So I cancelled the order and picked up the G7 for £404. £80 more is 100% worth it
Hello , thanks very much for the videos , I have the 27 G7 and playing at the moment on Ps4 Pro. Games I play is Apex Legends ,what would be the best settings on this monitor? Adaptive-Sync better off or on? HDR or SRS? Best picture mode ?For competitive games like fps, what would be the best settings for visual and response settings? Your input would be highly appreciated, thank you and keep up the amazing work! Thanks
If you do not get any sort of flicker with the new 1009.3 firmware then keep gsync On. Reduce frames by 4 to 236. VSYNC ON In the Nvidia control panel. VRR On in the monitor menu. This is for the lowest input lag according to blubusters. Black equalizer keep at 10 so you can see enemies in dark scenes. Lower a bit more if u need more dark view..
I play a lot of rpg, sports and racing. I do not play fps games. Apart from that, I also watch a lot of movies on the monitor. In your opinion, which of these 2 monitors is the best? dell or samsung?
I bought S2721DGF last week, it's a perfect monitor for a good price 391 euros, I switched from 23 inches TN 60 Hz Samsung, but I have 1 issue. I was not able to play netflix content in HDR. I tried some setups in monitor or WIN 10, but I was not able to do that. In laptop I can play it in HDR, but not on this HDR monitor connected to PC with RTX 2060 super. Has anyone idea why?
Before the 1009.3 update gsync On would flicker... Now with the new update there is a Monitor VRR toggle that removes the flicker. It has for me and many others.. but a small few still report the same issue. It Could be they are not enabling the VRR option.
Great, do you notice if the Dell blacks get grey in a dark room setting, does have much IPS glow, and light bleeding? That's what I fear of IPS and low contrast.
Thanks for all your videos on the S32, I bought one because of your videos for my Series X. Having always been a console guy playing 1440 120hz feels amazing Wouldn’t have known to get an A03 revision without your videos either so thanks for saving me the headache!
Friend... These 2 are the best on input lag and the difference would not be felt as they are so close. Tho the G7 wins by about a 0.5ms difference. We cannot actually see or feel any difference.
That's exactly what I did. Gonna have to RMA it tho, there's some motion blur and ghosting when the monitor feels like it. Definitely pray to the monitor deities before ordering, cause the panel lottery can be insane.
LG27GN950 or the Samsung Odyssey G7 are my favorites depends on what u need IPS or VA. Then the S3220DGF for value and signal acceptance. Then the MSi MAG-QFD for the 4k Signal acceptance. The Dell S2721DGF is great if only at 1440p120hz.. but no 4k signal.
Not yet.. tho BenQ is always a winner. The speakers on that are really good. But I will probably wait for newer 2021 BenQ monitors before I get a newer version.
S27 is faster and better for PC but the s32 has more options for Console. Immersion and price is what makes the s32 awesome. Ill be getting to more Vs videos soon. Anything you would like to see?
I had 27g7, but returned to the store because of 1 dead pixel and the blb spots. I hope my 2721dgf to be greater in this aspect. In my country the price difference between 2 monitors is 50 euro
Fine and all but instead of Extreme WIDE you could make more of a fair preview with a Normal WIDE at the opposite angle, or just an edit to quick show them both at the opposite angle. The 21DGF being the nearest to the camera. Its already a little strange comparing 27 x 32 panels. Overall pretty good
Everything looks good. Nothing oversaturated or blurry. Its only when you see side by side to a lesser panel will you may think its oversaturated.. it looks perfect and very good out of box image.
while the ps5 does not support 1440p, can the s2721dgf be recognised as 4k and downscaled to 1440p resolution? Just wondering since I just ordered it lol
Unfortunately the s27 does not recognize a 4K signal. In my other videos I have tried. If you see my last video before this one. (S32 vs s27) I do get a 4k signal thru a hdmi splitter. The Monitor shows 4k but it needed to be connected with another 4k acceptable monitor. I wonder If a edid module (signal display transmitter/fixer?) could fix but there are no 4K versions only 1080p... it works perfect for Xbox consoles at 1440p/120hz and ps4/ps5 at 1080p/120hz..
@@DisplayReality oh damn that sucks, i purchased it for a good deal on black friday ($470 AUD), do you think I should return it and just get a 1080p high refresh rate monitor since I’m using it mainly for ps5 and watching youtube, twitch etc?

@@DisplayReality It's not calibration I think. PS4 Pro output 4K signal and no 1440p. G7 is 1440p monitor but and it can receive 4K signal but no in HDR. To have HDR he must be in 1080p. I have the same issue with my LG 27GL850-b
