Dell S2721QS 27 Inch 4K IPS Productivity Monitor | Is it worth the price?

[@yasam9311]

05:57 man thank you sooo much for showing PIP small screens for us, that was what I was looking for!

[@JasonRasmussen]

Thanks for going through the menu. It is nice to know you can assign two buttons to direct features you want.

[@Afura33]

Looks like a cool monitor, probably also nice for photo editing.

[@thekanad4134]

I have this model, and it suffers from horrible image retention. I've had it replaced, and the second unit they sent me suffered from the same issue. It seems like this is typical of this monitor. I would not recommend it for this reason.

[@Afura33]

What do you mean with image retention?

[@thekanad4134]

@@Afura33 it's when the monitor is still displaying a shadow of the previous image for minutes after the image had already been gone. You can read and see what it is on sites like RTings. It's not permanent, but it does mean you get to read the content of a webpage you visited for 10 minutes after having it closed.

[@Afura33]

@@thekanad4134 thanks for explaining, I know what you mean now, I do have this issue on my smartphone it's super annoying.

I also have this monitor for about a year and I haven't had any issues, thanks for making me aware so I know what to look for

[@chanhuyly1040]

Well presentation there for this monitor, appreciated! but can I ask the difference with LG27UP850-W, at least this dell is much cheaper than the LG one in my country.

[@VenustoJupiter07]

I use both LG UP850 & this Dell monitor. My opinion, Dell is better in display. LG has type C so i think that why it is more expensive.. you can compare S2721qs with Lg UL500 and UP850 with S2722Qc

[@gregamania1327]

Showing the monitor at a ridiculous angle like that for almost all of the review is kind of annoying, to be honest.

[@Jaylikescar]

I just ordered one thanks for the review!

[@BedouinRecords]

Has anyone had HDMI connectivity issues between a macbook pro and this monitor?

[@parinami3d]

hi, pbp mode works with both hdmi ports? or one port should be hdmi and the other port should be display port in order to pbp work? thank you

[@Kari-Pekka]

has anyone found good icc profile/ color settings for this?

[@The_Daliban]

as a tip. maybe get a zoom h1n and the rode lav mic. they are fairly cheap and will tremendously improve your sound(:

[@kllynch283]

Another tip- only show the monitor you're reviewing. I hate when these reviewers have 2 monitors side by side! Makes it harder for us to tell how big the monitor is

[@aquilegus]

Hi, now you have had it for a little while, I have a few questions: 1) do you find the PIP and the PBP really useful, or just a nice trick that you don't use very often? 2) I read and you seemed to confirm the PBP requires HDMI and DisplayPort (two HDMI won't work?) 3) my aim is not games, I'll have text and occasional video so in 4K is it really useable or do you find yourself zooming to increase the text size? Thanks for your help and responses !

[@cooltechstuff1]

Hey there, 1) Personally I never use it, though I can see people using it but for me there is no need in either 2) Yeah it has to be connected to two different port types HDMI and Display port, won't work with two HDMI ports 3) If you have it at a 100% it's really small, so I have it at 200% and that is usable Hope this helps!

[@aquilegus]

@@cooltechstuff1 that's great ! thanks for the prompt reply :)

[@R4CHE]

Hi, how do you increase the text size? I’ve done it using scaled but it has been affecting the performance of the monitor which always slow and lag. On default size, the performance are good but it’s just too small for me.

[@fhf17]

@@R4CHE set to 150% scaled in windows display settings

[@vtcanada2000]

great video! looking to buy this monitor today.

[@cangdetnetcang]

Hi, can I ask is the monitor doing ok? Is the audio line out sound the same as with pc? I'm considering between this and lg 27up600 (which is much cheaper in my country)

[@BleepingWorld]

How do you turn on FreeSync?

[@AverageAngel]

Did anyone buy additional anti blue coating on top of the monitor? I have the dell 2219 monitors 1080P and buying the anti blue covering onto helped my eyes a lot. Is this recommended for this 4k monitor?

[@rami30]

So what do you think about the monitor? Is it worth it ?

[@cooltechstuff1]

For me it's totally worth it, I like the colors the viewing angles are awesome some features like PIP/PBP are nice to have, and the ergonomics is all you need really, worth the price in my opinion

[@BleepingWorld]

Does setting response time to extreme use a lot more power or something? How come that is not the default?

[@CanaleYouTubeGeneralista]

Hi, what model is the AOC monitor ?

[@IvoNikolov333]

Really Good Review😊 I am trying to find out if this Monitor will be Suitable for My Needs which namely are watching 4K Nature Videos and also Podcasts on KZbin also Occasionally a Movie and a Sports Game I currently have 27" Acer which is 2K but is also 7 Years old so looking to get a New one Regards Ivo

[@CanaleYouTubeGeneralista]

what about reflections ?

can I use for gaming with ps5?

[@Espiral-yc2wp]

Thanks for the video. I bought this monitor and I am not happy with the result... My intention was to use this monitor as an external display for my 2012 Macbook Pro. I guess the resolution of my laptop affects the 4K of this Dell monitor

Hello! I am trying to get this also as an external monitor for my MacBook Pro. Did you find a better option? Or did you solve the issue?

[@Stranded360]

I know this is an old video but I was wondering- how do you like editing video on your ultrawide vs editing video on the smaller 4k monitor?

[@cooltechstuff1]

I like them both, ultra wide is nice for the timeline and 27 inch 4k is better for preview

[@albertomoreno6746]

How's the video/movie watching experience?

[@martindescoteaux9288]

Is it a good monitor for the ps5, if I play not competition

[@cooltechstuff1]

I tested on ps4 as I don't have ps5, the only issue that was bothering me was inverse ghosting that I saw for fast and extreme response time when playing fifa21 but it looks good with normal response time, with resident evil 3 and mafia 3 I saw no issues with any response time, I guess if you are not a competitive gamer that should be more than enough, hope this helps🙂

Hello Hey would this monitor be good enough for me to run VS Code , Matlab , Python , Maple , Excel , watching light movies on MPC-HC etc. I'm thinking about buying this when pairing it with a Ryzen 5700G. I will not be gaming on this it's just for work. Would I be able to use this monitor fine with a 5700g? How much did you pay for this monitor in USD and what would consider to be too much money?

[@cooltechstuff1]

Yeah it's gonna be no problem at all, 5700g is a good processor and it would definitely work well with it, I have 3600 and it works perfectly fine, I got it for $317 from amazon but right now it goes there for $380, though looks like on dell website you can get it for $320 and I think that is the right price for it

IHAVE A i710700k WITH 16gB DDR4 3200mgz on asus Z490P without GPU do you think 4k vs 2K is manageable for editing video photo? Thanks

[@cooltechstuff1]

Yeah that should be enough for 4k or 2k editing, i have i7-7500u with integrated intel hd graphics 620 and its handling it, of course it would be much faster for playback and encoding to have a better graphics card as it can reduce the time significantly, but if that's what you have to work with then it should be ok, no heavy gpu effects though and make sure it meets minimum requirement for whatever editing software you are using
