Alienware AW2721D vs ASUS ROG Swift PG35VQ

Everything I say reflects my own and honest opinion. If you like 1440p, this monitor's specs are f***ing insane, right? Well, I couldn't have put it a...

In terms of resolution and physical size, they’re about the same. The only difference is the technology. My Dell U3415W is only a 60Hz monitor and obviously no HDR or any of that fancy stuff. I’m what you would call a VERY casual gamer

I'm using a VESA certified KableDirekt DP 1.4 cable and two high end HDMI 2.0 cables, very tight and unnecessarily crowded port area, there’s plenty of space to spread them out more. - Noticeable overshoot in MS Office, web browsing (text) and other apps when using the faster or higher response time setting, sometimes noticeable during gaming as well, you are left using the slowest setting, fast

Finally, using an HDFury 4K Diva(Opens in a new window), I recorded a low input lag figure of 2.2ms, which isn't the fastest we've seen, but is just a fifth of a millisecond slower than the Predator X35. This difference in speed will only be perceptible to the most elite-rated CS:GO and DOTA players of the world, and even then, it's doubtful it will make enough of a difference to matter in the long run.

What is up everyone, it's Mark from Silence Tech and hope you're keeping well. Dell very kindly sent out their Alienware AW2721D which features an IPS...

Just for reference i used both monitors at 200Hz 8Bit. Looked by far the best if your PC can handle the refresh rate.

The whole thing is much heavier than i expected, although this allows it to be very sturdy, and while the majority of the outer materials are plastic,...

Best Performance in Gaming. 200hz. -3440x1440 - Nice Design Need to know some game need patch for to be in full screen 3440x1440. But lot of game work like APEX, PUBG, Diablo 3, Assassin creed Collection

We test monitors with a Datacolor SpyderX Elite colorimeter, a Murideo SIX-G signal generator, and Portrait Displays' CalMAN 5 software.

Great product, however to compensate the 200hz Asus used TN panel. The dramatic color accuracy difference made me part with this and went for Alienware’s AW3420DW with IPS panel @120hz for $1000 cheaper As well.

Only issues: 1) Monitor Stand is massive - will have to buy a monitor arm (any recommendations would be appreciated) 2) My box was damaged, missing DP Cable in the box (not Dell's fault). 3) Very inconvenient cable placement, you must take off the removable back panel and swing it around to connect, while this might not be an issue for some, with such a big stand and not a lot of desk room, it is a bit of a hinderance. But it does look clean, so this CON depends on the user. 4) Alienware Command Center cannot locate the monitor (not a big deal, I didn't buy it for the lighting features anyway, but it could be a problem for some gamers) 5) The stand pushes the monitor very forward, not a deal breaker, the monitor arm will fix this issue but from the back of the stand to the front of the monitor, it is around 9 inches, which is a problem if you have a narrow desk

SIZE: Obviously the LG wins here. The extra 3" of diagonal was noticeable for sure, AND thanks to the lighter weight of the screen itself, and the better stand design (IMO), the LG was able to sit back further on my desk. It just felt great. SCREEN SURFACE: ASUS comes ahead again here, with a much better matte surface that seems to be a fair bit better at combating screen glare (I have a couple French doors directly behind me which is challenging for light glare/reflections)
