So i came across this monitor and i think it looks amazing from the videos I've watched. We all know Dell makes awesome monitors as i know a majority of y'all use them. Anyone seen this monitor? I think games and possibly movies would look good on it.

Hi Arkansas.   Been waiting for someone to respond with any experience but with so many monitors, I guess it is a crap shoot.  Big%20Smile

I hadn't heard of it until your posting and went to this....

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/70841-dell-s2716dg-g-sync-gaming-monitor-review.html

Basically, a nice monitor, nothing beyond the many others, except with Dell, you usually get a good price.  For the money, if on sale, get it in my opinion.

I've asked on a couple of other sites like reddit and overclock.net about the monitor and people seem to highly recommend it. I think i may actually buy it later on

I hadn't heard of it either.

But I've never had a single issue with any Dell monitor I've owned, so I'm generally not too nervous about buying them. Smile

If only i was looking to buy it at this point in time. There is a person on reddit selling their brand new one because they thought it had freesync but don't want to return it because of the return fee. They want $550. If only if only....lol

Hi ArkansasWoman777,

It seems like a really good gaming monitor. It also seems like a heck of a lot of money for a TN monitor. Not sure it would be a great choice for watching movies. I see on Newegg some people are having problems with deep sleep. But that seems like a lack of knowledge on how to shut it off more than a monitor problem. Everyone likes it on Amazon but that doesn't always mean a lot.

Since I havn't see it I don't know if it is a good choice or not. I have seen some TN monitors that look pretty good.

Yea there is an option on the monitor that disables it, aside from that issue (if you can call it that) it seems to be a solid monitor.
