I honestly didn't notice much of a difference between scripted and free-flowing other than that it felt more natural to watch. I'd say keep doing it like this and I hope it puts more joy into creating videos like this because the content you create is like no other out there. If you have time to answer. I was wondering if there are any major differences (except for the DyAc+ of course) between the 2456k and non-k equivalent. I personally didn't get the k version since black frame insertion gives me headaches, so I was wondering if the panel is basically the same for other stats just so I can compare what I have with the graphs shown in the video (brightness, OSD etc.).

[@marcellgreshamjr.2761]

Man I just ordered this on amazon for $209!!! I’m getting it in Friday and it’s my first gaming monitor ever. I’ve always played on console with bigger sized televisions, and I’m a more competitive apex legends player, so I’m really excited to see the difference.

[@jakob5067]

I bought this monitor a few weeks ago, it was honestly alot better than my LG 240 hz, the calibration out of the box was pretty good. Definitely better than LGs. I felt way less input lag on this monitor. Idk if my LG 240 hz is faulty or not but there is a pretty noticeable draggy feeling when compared to the dell 240 hz. I sadly had to return it because it had a dead pixel. And decided to go with a resolution bump and sacrifice a bit of HZ for it. Went with the LG 27GP850-B 165 hz. Just because i haven't been playing competitive games in a long time and wanna have the versatile option. I'm getting it on Monday. Though if i wanted a 240 hz IPS, i would get the dell 240 hz again as it was a pretty good silky smooth and responsive experienced.

[@vivacious7276]

how is 27GP850-B so far?

[@jakob5067]

@@vivacious7276 it's way better than any of other other 5 monitors i tried. Really good picture quality and my unit had really good colors and color temperature out of the box. Really happy with it. Though my unit has a stuck pixel on the top right side which is always a cyan blue when displaying black , has some IPS glow, can be noticeable some games. Was thinking on getting a replacement but amazon is stingy with items of a lot of value when it comes to replacements. Though definitely worth the money. It's a really really good experience. And the picture quality alone just really beats alot of other 1440p monitors I've tried. It seems like ips glow is a common problem with LG monitors don't be afraid to try other units see if you get one you're happy with. Overall i recommend it alot. Silky smooth and responsive and almost no ghosting at all if any.

[@elijnr]

I’ve a Dell S2722gdm. It has FAST, SUPER fast and extreme. Does this have all these too? I usually use extreme. But I’m tired of 1440p monitors because it limits my frame rate to 144hz

People, pause at the beginning of 9:07, 9:08 and 9:10 then ask yourselves how can this be a good pixel response time. Like, despite the fact that you can even see it on this 24 fps video which has its own blurring due to YT make it re-encoded, so is this how low the bar has come these days?

Guys what do you think is better? VG259QM or Dell S2522HG or do you have something better for that price?

[@Be4zle]

Great review. I have both this and the AW2721D, for FPS i think i actually prefer this due to the screen size. 1080p at 25” is more blurry than 27” 1440p due to the PPI but i feel that for shooters 27” is slightly too big.

[@ecosti]

hello man are u really happy with this monitor ? im reall torn about it , they say it has poor image quality and that input lag its not so great

[@Be4zle]

@@ecosti Who says that? It’s an IPS panel with a mediocre gamut and contrast ratio so the image shouldnt appear too oversaturated or washed out. The input lag is similar to other 240hz monitors at around 4ms or so. It is great value for money and pretty much a refresh of the AW2521HF in Dell’s own branding.
