Dell G2725D 27 Inch QHD (2560x1440) Gaming Monitor, 180Hz, IPS, 1ms, AMD FreeSync, 99% sRGB, DisplayPort, 2x HDMI, 3 Year Warranty, Black

(Please note it is the monitor to the right in the picture attached to this review.)After using the Dell G3223Q 32” 4K 144hz monitor now for a few months in 2 different locations and with a console and now PC I feel as if I can give the best review now for this product. A long review but a comprehensive and passionate one. This is gaming focused as that is what I use it for and feel like most people will too.Delivery, Delivery was great as always with amazon prime it’s no fuss no waiting around for items and the Dell monitor was no exception, I made sure I was in to receive this as I didn’t want to miss it nor for them to leave it in the porch. I’m glad I did too as be aware that the box is just the Dell box and completely shows what it is so potential people will clearly see that it is a very nice and expensive monitor. It would be a complete waste I know but I would be nice if this was put into another Amazon box hiding what it is but environmental procedures probably won’t allow that.Once I had the monitor, I found that was packaged well, the box is pretty robust itself too and although wouldn’t recommend it could probably take a little bash before the monitor too some damage. The monitor assembly is easy with a nice thumb screw so no tools necessary. Once together and cables are all plugged in it’s a simple turn on and go. The build quality is good too I have no concerns of it breaking or falling apart one day the base is really solid too and the arm is great. I haven’t encountered any dropping or sagging with my time using the monitor. I love the design its sleek and stylish, the single continuous blue light on the back of the monitor is nice but isn’t overpowering, as well as some vents on the back for cooling its crisp a minimal on the front making sure you focus on the display and you want to look at this display.When I first purchased the monitor, I was using the Xbox series X, this 4K display really opened my eyes to the wonders of games, even coming from an LG 4k tv, which was very good, this monitor really seemed to step it up a couple levels, its ultra crisp visuals provide you with stunning details and with the 144hz (or 120hz limit on console) it really does make movement in those FPS games seriously gorgeous and super silky smooth. HDR600 is again amazing just makes the colours on screen pop from sun flares to flowers, games and backgrounds they all look incredible. Using the monitor slightly further away in my first set up is absolutely big enough to accommodate those who do play on a bed or slightly further away with a controller. Even with Amazons show in room feature it really doesn’t quite give you a sense of how big this monitor really is. For those of you like me play on a desk situation its big stand too is rather large coming in at 34cm wide and 24cm deep you are going to need some serious real estate for the stand. Also, the screen itself is big being so close on a mouse and keyboard situation is fine, maybe a little large for those who aren’t using this for gaming purposes, but it totally does give you a sense of being completely immersed/ surround by the game you’re in.The Dell monitor also has a nice nav button on the back, it’s a little sensitive but gives you the options for changing your sharpness, game presets, AMD Freesync Premium Pro options, brightness (it is very bright) and HDR options. Sadly, no G sync unlike the baby brother Dell G2724D (another great monitor option by the way) which is slightly annoying considering the price of the 2 monitors, nearly £450 difference (at time of writing.) So a small knock there for the Dell G3223Q.Now I am on PC and this monitor has ensured that those crisp displays I got used to on the Xbox have kept on providing now I am on PC, they look even better now, obviously due to hardware improvements but the monitor has been able to keep up with ease and provide me the visuals that the PC is churning out.One slight niggle for some is there are no built-in speakers, a slight oversight I feel like from Dell as even some low-quality, low wattage speakers would be nice for zoom calls or YouTube. However, I can’t say that this has been a problem as I have access to both a high-end headset, and the speakers can be plugged in with a simple 3.5mm jack at the base of the monitor. Those of you without speakers or a headset be warned you would have to invest in either or as well, which with the monitor at this price bracket may be a little harder to swallow.Overall, I personally love this monitor, it is a lot of money for a monitor but I feel like Dell really has got it right with this one providing you with amazing build and display quality. 100% would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade to a monitor or any one looking to get into 4K quality.

outstanding addition to my set up.This TV looks beutiful !.watching movies is a treat.My games are looking great.There is no speakers though(i use headphones) so that may be an issue for some.The price was suprisingly low,but im not complaining.brightness is top notch with minimal to no response time.

So the monitor is extremely nice for the money at 180hz and the colouration is amazing imo. I came from a 75hz 1080p panel that was close to 9 years old, so definitely impressed!The monitors leg stand also missed 2 screws. After lots of phonecalls to DELL and repetitive bot messaging, i finally gave up and messaged Amazon and they were great to be fair, offering me a partial refund to source some more screws. Top job Amazon customer care team.IMPORTANT - One thing to note about this monitor. The 'Free sync' function for smoother frame rates is NOT compatible with Nvidia graphics cards. ONLY AMD cards. Lots of Dells are compatible with Nvidia, but unfortunately not this specific model, the G2725D as i've just found out. :(Huge amount of flickering and stripes on the screen, when using anything above 120Hz in-game graphics settings. Meaning the advertised smoother gaming experience that syncs the GPU's FPS with the monitor HZ can NOT be achieved!You can turn this setting on in Nvidias control panel, under 'G'sync'...but, you will fast run into issues, as even Dell states.... in the very tiny small print, achieved away, online that this monitor will not run with smooth FREESYNCH with Nvidia cards. On the plus side, if you are not like me, and have an AMD card, you'll be just fine.

I spent months researching monitors and am delighted to say I have found a fantastic one. I would easily buy another of these, especially on sale. Currently, I have this hooked up to my old gaming laptop and Nintendo Switch until I get my PC, so I will update this review to detail any improvements and how well it works with my PC when I get it.Colour:Visually, this monitor is spectacular. The out-of-the-box colour was gorgeous, and I didn't notice any colour tints. The screen is definitely on the warmer side as opposed to my laptop's screen which has a cool wash over it. However, I think that just creates a great depth of colour, as you would expect from an IPS screen. I was initially torn when I was buying monitors, as I play a lot of story/visual games and I know that VA monitors have better contrast than IPS ones. However, I think this monitor delivers despite the lower contrast ratio to VA panels. This monitor has really brought my games to life.Some games will need their settings tweaking to get the full experience before you game, however, I think this is a small price to pay for great quality. I had to manually go through to select higher graphic settings and match the screen size, but this was to be expected.Size:This 27-inch panel is the perfect display for work and gaming: It has transformed my gameplay from my switch and 16-inch laptop into something immersive and breathtaking. It fits well on my small desk, and the stand does not take up too much room.Brightness:This is something I was really concerned when choosing a monitor. I have two windows in the room I work and needed a monitor that would be bright enough to withstand the glare coming through them. Suffice to say, this monitor delivers. There is very little glare on this monitor, and even so it is hardly noticeable. What's more, I don't struggle to look at dark games/movies any more- thank god!Adjustability:This monitor is incredible in terms of adjustability. Not only can the display move up and down, but it can tilt up and down, side to side and completely rotate! I imagine this would make a great second monitor too.Performance:As mentioned earlier, I have only tested the performance on an old laptop at 120hz and my Nintendo switch, so haven't tested the full capacity of this monitor yet. However, from what I have seen, I am still very impressed.The visuals are smooth. Even in fast-paced games, I haven't suffered from any motion sickness, and have yet to experience the dreaded black smears. I will update this when I have tested it with my PC, but so far so good!Cons:These cons were not enough to put me off wanting a second monitor like this, however, I understand people might prioritise these more so here they are:No speakers: To get any sound I'd have to hook this up to a Bluetooth speaker or use the sound from my laptop. I imagine the idea is that you'd have it hooked up to a PC with speakers, however, if you are looking for a monitor with the capacity to emit its own sound, this is not it.No audio port: A little disappointing as having an audio port in the monitor would have been very convenient.No USB ports: A bit inconvenient but not the worstOverall, I think this a great monitor, and even better if you get it on sale. I think it is a great entry-level monitor that doesn't overcharge its worth. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great experience working or gaming.
