Couple of corrections: there are two DisplayPorts and one HDMI port (not 1 DP and 2 HDMI), and the HDMI/DIsplayPort specs are the wrong way around in the Essentials Checklist. Also the UFO Test header should read 271QRX not 271URX (monitor names strike again!)

This channel is godsend for people looking to buy a monitor. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for getting some reviews of the 1440p 360hz monitors out!

I’ve had this monitor now for about 3-4 weeks and I’ve got to say, it’s incredible. I play a lot of e-sports titles and with the clarity and responsiveness of this panel, it’s just unreal. Love this product, in my opinion it’s really amazing!

My monitor baby. I took the plunge this year and I’m glad I did. It’s such a beautiful smooth monitor. Makes everything a joy. The only people that might not love it are people that want a 4k screen or want better text clarity (fine for me but I’m also not working on it). But for anyone that likes 1440p at 27 inches, this makes gaming fun.

I’ve had mine in the US for about 2 weeks now and it’s just 👌

[malccy]

Thanks for the review. I have been waiting for this review so as could decide between the Alienware and the MSI so much appreciate. Now that i've ordered the Alienware 27" please could you do a 'best settings' guide for this monitor for an oled noob like myself.

Hey there! While waiting for all QD-OLEDs to come out I bought an U2724D IPS Black 120Hz display as secondary and gotta say it deserves way more attention than it's getting.

I purchased 2 of them and have been using for several days now. They are fantastic.

[Tkyotripz]

first of all great review as always. i own this model and cant recommend it enough. Dell & Msi nailed it with these

[andrewmorris]

Thanks for the review! I’ve had mine since January 18th and it’s pretty much been a flawless experience. I’ve been waiting for a color accurate sRGB mode utilizing QD-OLED at more than 200 nits of brightness and this monitor has delivered beautifully.

Halo 3 at 360Hz with super accurate sRGB color and near infinite contrast is a sight to be hold! I feel lightning fast on this thing. ⚡️

After using the PG279Q for about 10 years, now with the introduction of 360 Hz OLED I finally decided to upgrade and went for this monitor and I couldn’t be happier.

It looks amazing, feels smoother (obviously) and hasn’t disappointed me in any single way.

I use it pretty much only for gaming, but also do some casual browsing on it.

Personally I have not had any issues with it whatsoever. Also I have never actually noticed the text looking worse because of the pixel layout, but I’ve also never paid close attention to it.

It’s nice to see this review basically confirm to me once again I made the right purchase :)

[brualtyusa]

Great video thank you for covering 1440p panels.

[FlatLanderGaming]

Wow... i literally searched for this review, and it was released 3 minutes before I started watching, what I funny coincidence XD

[alexb]

Thank you sir. Class leading monitor content.

[mattpatt]

I wish built in KVM would become more common with these high end monitors. With working from home becoming more commonplace, I think it makes sense so people can use their monitor to easily switch between their work laptop and personal PC.

If you're in Canada currently the AW2725DF is $999.99cad($736.29usd) while this Is MPG271QRX is $1119.99cad($824.64usd). I ordered the aw2725df a few days ago and looking forward to use it.

[steve_frampton]

I’ve had mine for just under a week and I can’t believe how amazing this monitor really is.

[nices]

Thank you for the great content.
Please review Dell G2724D if possible.

Finally decided to pull the trigger on this bad boy now that Dell has announced that they will include a setting that disables DSC to allow DLDSR in DisplayPort through a firmware update. As someone who uses DLDSR often on older titles, that was the deciding factor on whether or not to get this monitor so kudos to Dell for listening to their customers.
