HP x27i vs. Dell S2721DGF - SLOW MOTION Comparison of input lag / reaction time. Part 1

[@AnkardTan]

there is alot of screen tearing because of adaptive sync. It has nothing to do with the monitor picture quality or refresh rate in general

[@OffYourTrees]

All monitors that use this panel type ( It's an LG panel, same as the GL850) has horrible overshoot on the max overdrive settings, the only reason it really exists is to make the claim of it being a 1ms monitor true. The medium setting is what you want and you should also make sure you are using a dp 1.4 cable if you want the proper 165hz experience. Ty for the video btw. I was looking at this monitor and there isn't much info available atm :)

[@reinulf656]

Hey there. Yes, you're right, but actually at 165 Hz with Freesync on the overshoot was not bad and nearly impossible to notice, also on Testufo at its highest setting. The bad stuff happened when Freesync was turned off. Then it left black trails worse than any VA Panel could produce. I wasn't able to run both monitors side by side at 165 and 144 Hz in game.

@@reinulf656 I have my monitor set at 166Hz extreme response and use a DP cable. I've not seen any overshoot. I would test the monitors one at a time too

[@nedaspaul5419]

What is the input lag on the second overdrive setting

[@apram099]

hdmi or DP1.4 you using?

[@Rodrinator75]

How is your HP monitor going? Any problems so far? Would you buy it instead of the Dell for 75€ more?

[@bigguschungus968]

Any thoughts on RGB settings via HDMI as an external monitor? clickmonitorDDC states that RGB are maxed out at 255? It hard for me to set correctly considering i was using a TN panel before (and currently side by side) so i cant tell if its just me or the colours are way too saturated. I know IPS willl have a deeper viewing. Everything looks a bit too blue out of the box? Thanks for any advice.

So far what's your impressions about the S2721DGF? Colors, build quality? Can you give us some feedback about it? Thanks!

[@reinulf656]

Build quality is great, the stand is excellent and the height adjustment has a large range. Color uniformity is great, but the sides on the left and right have a vignette, they are somewhat darker than the center. This is especially on the right side. Good colors are not easy to be set. Whatever you do, don't install the Dell Driver as then all the colors are completely exaggerated and unusable. Without using custom ICC profiles it's impossible to set the colors to be as good as on the HP. They have a different character. I wasn't exactly impressed by the Dark Level adjustment, as it introduces an exaggerated contrast to the image. If you forget to turn that off, text looks weirdly artifacted. It's a personal decision but I actually prefer the HP, although the build quality is far worse and color uniformity is hit or miss. We have a long discussion on the German site mydealz.

@@reinulf656 thanks man!

[@reinulf656]

@@LuisFelipy one more thing. The little joystick on the back and the plastic around it is somewhat squeaky when using it or the buttons, so there the build is not the best.

Hi, thanks a lot for the video! I found your review on mydealz.de which led me here. I also bought the same monitor and received it on Monday. I also observed that the left and right sides are slightly darker! I took a photo on Monday and that was quite obvious in the photo! It was like two light shadows on both sides. Do you happen to know why that happens and is there a way to fix it?

[@reinulf5474]

It must be just a general flaw of how the backlight is designed, so you will have that on every one of these monitors. There isn't anything one could do to fix it.

[@davidpig2011]

@@reinulf5474 I see. Thanks a lot! :)

Hey! Could you connect a ps4pro with 4k resolution to it? I want to know if it supports HDCP 2.2. 4k to 2k.

[@nedaspaul5419]

Playstation doesnt support 1440p
