Alienware AW2721D vs ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM

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...

Even with the latest RTX 3000 cards from Nvidia, 4K gaming is still not playable... Not like this! And 1440p should have never been made

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

However, that's about where the negatives end for this monitor, because everything else ranged from good to holy crap. Let's start with the holy crap,...

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...

These panels are easily good enough for 240hz and in the case of the vg279 qm borderline capable of 280 hertz, while the upgrade from 240 to 280 hertz...

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,...

The refresh rate easily adjustable and adapts on the fly with no issues noted. The speakers of course are the weaker element as is standard at this point but they are feasible for podcasts and otherwise stated above. Where the monitor falls apart is the build quality which is less than ideal. The stand it comes with while functional is far from sturdy and never locks the monitor in place

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

Best colour accuracy and sharpness is a what I'm after, as well as g-sync compatibility. Looking for something over 120Hz. Stumbled upon the ASUS TUF VG259QM and the MSI MAG251RX, and I like the latter a bit better due to the better contrast and colour accuracy, however I normally play games I run somewhere between 90-170 fps so the 240Hz or 280Hz performance is not something I'll really take advantage of.
