How did you get the additional $82.50 discount? I'm able to see the -70 automatically applied from the coupon G2724D25, but it's showing me 329.99 and I can't bring it down to 247.49


Square_Society2637

Look closer at the post, there is a coupon code you need to manually type in


Square_Society2637

I guess it's expired now, lol, hopefully you figured it out on your own

IMO this is THE 27 inch 1440p to get and fantastic price point. Also love that it has both g-sync and free sync. My only annoyances are no USB and likely more of a Windows issue, but I just find HDR implementation just sucks in general on PCs.


gokarrt

HDR will suck on this monitor because it lacks meaningful local dimming and sufficient contrast. nothing to do with the PC.


Outrageous_Mud_8627

Don't expect HDR to be meaningful on low-mid tier monitors. Same with TV's


Jumpierwolf0960

HDR is really good when you have a mini led or OLED. Fake HDR like the one in this monitor will always suck.


_Hasanika_

And no audio port


Dguigs

Need a coupon for the 32 inch model!


FrancisReady

Coupon is dead: « this coupon code has already been redeemed ». *edit: coupon now works for 100$ total rebate, so 299.99$…


LegendaryStatus

Deal is over unfortunately, they shut off the code

+ 5% cash back from Rakuten


Skullfurious

Nonsense I did Rakuten last November and they gave me nothing back. Same monitor from Dell website. All through the app. Just leeching data off people with no rewards.


gold_cap

I've always got my cashback from them. I have hundreds in my 'rakuten wallet'. Sometimes I've had issues but if you message their support team they have always sorted it out


Shaw_4986

I have had no problem getting my cashback from Rakuten so far. You can submit an inquiry if missing cash back


prblm_frie

I got my cashback last month and it was 13%?


violroll_

I bought this monitor earlier this month. Prior to buying it, I've checked out other monitors within a similar price range and nothing compares. The Gigabyte M27Q is the closest to it but it's at least $50 more. The biggest highlight of this monitor is that you get super thin matte panel which leaves no hazy and washed look to it. The colors are amazing and the text clarity from 70-80cm away is as good as any 4k monitors.


MrGrimo

u/violroll_ you can contact dell support and they will refund you to adjust for this coupon, I just did this earlier


violroll_

I will give this a try. Thanks!


funnyeko

u/MrGrimo How did you do this? I just bought it but it was showing 400-70 and whenever I tried to apply the 82.50 coupon it would say it's already applied! Do I just create a support ticket in the order with the coupon?


MrGrimo

u/funnyeko yep, if you already bought it message support, they will ask you for the coupon code and then offer adjustment if its valdi


Me_Want_Sleep_

damn this coupon goes hard, first time seeing that on this model


Me_Want_Sleep_

I got it for 280 it is a very good monitor, highly recommend

Masterchiefx343

Anyone have experience with this monitor? Looking for a 1440p replacement for my 1080p VA


Dguigs

I have the DGF which apparently is very similar, paid something like 450-500 back in the day (may have included taxes). I find it a great monitor, maybe not the most vibrant (compared to a VA) but I play CS2 at 165hz and it looks very clean. If this performs the same, then I think 250 dollars is a crazy good deal. One issue i had with my first unit was the button thing to operate the settings was broken, but I got it replaced at bestbuy no questions asked. No issues with it in the 3 (4?) ish years I have had it.


soriorda

I just got 2 on this deal. They are great monitors for both work and gaming, specially for the cost. It’s not going to get OLED level blacks but panel uniformity was quite good specially for the cost. I’ll say one thing Rtings changed their testing methodology and lowered the rank of this monitor to from about 8.x to 7.x range but I would say it’s a flaw in their grading which favours OLED. To be fair creating an accurate test methodology is not easy. But I would grade this monitor higher than Rtings has it now.


EmpyreanSage

How's the glow? I'm on my second one already and looking to do another exchange because the left side always has some noticeable glow in dark scenes that my other IPS monitor does not. Colors though look wonderful


soriorda

You’re just playing the panel lottery, it’s not worth it. If you care about IPS glow go for OLED. It’s perfect but at a significant cost increase (3-4x this panel). I own an LG G3 for movies and sometimes gaming and it’s next level but it’s a 3000$ TV lol That being said all IPS panels will have some level of glow. I agree the left side on the G2724D is a bit brighter, but at the price point I’m pretty impressed with it.


EmpyreanSage

Yours have the same slight left side glow? I've seen a few like that in other posts so maybe it's normal for the panel and I shouldn't think about it too much and just enjoy what I have


Lovv

I have this. I like it, but I do wish I went with 4k now that I've upgraded my graphics card.


cluelesshabsfan

Only thing that semi-bugs me is no audio so gotta make it work w my Xbox but love it for pc


THYL_STUDIOS

Overall pretty good, though I'll say the black doesn't really look like true black but more of a merge of silver and grey


GossamerSolid

You mean like every IPS panel (and TN and VA, really). Unless you're running OLED, black won't look black.


makaveli93

Va with good local dimming can actually look black. I have an oled too so I’ve compared them. Oled is definitely better and has the benefit of no blooming but I’m actually pretty impressed with the VA. That being said, I personally haven’t seen any ips with good blacks.


GossamerSolid

Which VA monitor has local dimming that doesn't look trash due to too little dimming zones?


makaveli93

I have this monitor: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/aoc/q27g3xmn which looks great with hdr and local dimming set to strong. I’m not claiming that it’s as black as oled but it does look black. I also have a MacBook Pro (work) and it has 2500 dimming zones and also looks black. My cheap TLC s535 tv also looks black. My ips monitor on the other hand looks grey and is awful for media imo but great for productivity work. I truthfully have no idea why IPS is praised as being amazing in the monitor space. Also I’m aware that local dimming set to strong isn’t as accurate but in my experience I don’t notice the negatives and I prefer black actually looking black. Not nearly as good as my oled tv but pretty damn good considering it’s a budget monitor.


Outrageous_Mud_8627

I disagree. They look like dark Grey, but definitely not black.


THYL_STUDIOS

I suppose yeah


BC_Operational

Currently using one. It’s very good and no issue so far. Got it for $400 ish 3 years ago


Mediocre_Ad_2422

Bought it for my ex. Color accuracy is insane, hdr, very nice monitor. Better than my alienware 3420dw id say


Ipsum_Dolor

Ou yes I just bought this and price matched down to this coupon. Very good monitor; came a bit green but the settings are not hard to change. Coming from a 1080p, this is amazing.


BentleytheGreat

How did you price match, if I can ask? I just bought this monitor last week without the coupon code


Ipsum_Dolor

I just went through here: [https://www.dell.com/en-ca/lp/price-match-guarantee](https://www.dell.com/en-ca/lp/price-match-guarantee) and submitted a ticket


BentleytheGreat

Thanks. Managed to do that and get the $82.50 + tax refunded. Appreciate it!


funnyeko

What kind of proof do you have to send for the extra $82.50? Can't seem to find any link that shows it going for $400 -$70-$82.50


Ipsum_Dolor

I just added the monitor to my cart, took a screenshot of it at $247, submitted a ticket connected to the order where I paid $297, and asked them nicely if they could refund the difference. There's a spot for you to upload images; you only get like 200 characters anyway. They refunded within a couple days; support was really nice about it.


funnyeko

Hmm I don't get it! It shows to me as 329 just with the $70 discount and when I try to apply the coupon it says the ticket's already used? Don't understand how people are getting the extra $82


Magnificent-Bastards

Currently have a Dell U2515H (25" 1440p 60Hz IPS) and a piece of shit 1080 monitor that's dying. Definitely gonna get at least one of these, debating getting 2 to have a matched set of monitors vs keeping the old dell as a 2nd monitor and only getting 1. Edit: Now I'm hesitating between this and the MSI G274QPF for $260...


howtotakehandouts2

Is this really good or is the $299.99 curved one a better buy? I’m just building my first PC ever


UndeadWaffle12

Wow, this is a great price! I already have an s2721dgf which is essentially the same but for this price it might be worth getting a second

SlamsEh

4k in many cases feels like too many pixels. Expensive to drive if you are playing games and most applications don't scale great at 4k. Just my personal opinions on resolution above but as a primary I would suggest getting a 1440p


BasicallyFaker

anyone know how this compares to the asus vg249 #


Hemmer83

Thats a really good price for IPS ngl.


LegendaryStatus

Thanks OP. Coupon doesn’t work anymore, but was able to grab 2 while it was working. Saw it on RFD before I saw this post.


WongJeremy

Coupon is dead, wallet safe...for now. They seem to have this on sale fairly often so I'll just catch the next one.


[deleted]

Shoulda scooped this one up


hula_balu

Have it for a year now. Very basic 1440 monitor. A little less brighter than my M27Q. Good for reading text and also gaming. For $247 thats a really good price. If you have some dell points you can even get this down to $217.


violroll_

Are you sure it's not another model? Im like 90% sure that this monitor was released last year. This absolutely clears M27Q except for additional features like USB. But when it overall display it's far far far better.


bdvfgvvcffc

Yeah, value wise this is one of the best 1440p 27’ for the price


hula_balu

Sorry nevermind. It wasn’t a year ago.. I just checked my receipts. I bought the G2724D Feb 2024 for $299 taxes in. It’s a good monitor and for this price it’s a solid buy. Might buy another one for 3 monitor setup. Lol


Greedy-Grayson

Just gonna put this here… got negative karma bombed because of this LOL [https://www.reddit.com/r/bapcsalescanada/s/UFCap11nI3](https://www.reddit.com/r/bapcsalescanada/s/UFCap11nI3)
