Alienware AW2721D vs Dell UltraSharp U2720Q

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...

Pixel density is 163 pixels per inch (ppi), the same as in other 27-inch UHD monitors such as the Lenovo P27u-10(Opens in a new window) and the UP2720Q mentioned above, and higher than the Dell UltraSharp 25 USB-C Monitor (U2520D)(Opens in a new window)'s 117ppi and the Dell 27 USB-C Monitor (P2720DC)'s 108ppi. (All else being equal, the higher the pixel density, the sharper that the text and other fine detail in an image should appear.)

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

Bought this during black friday in-store at Best Buy. Love the monitor, but please make sure you turn it on and immediately open up a display test website.

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...

The problem is that the refresh rate is 29 hz by using usb-c to usb-c. One of the solutions is to open the lid while connecting may solve this issue. I hope Dell should understand that lots of people are using Macbook.

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,...

Unlike most webcams it seems like they actually designed it for modern, frameless monitors: it’s gorgeous, compact, includes a cable slot and is made of metal. I seriously can’t believe how awful Logitech’s mounting solutions are in comparison.

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

4. Does using this combination affect color accuracy in Chrome and PowerPoint? If so, I will switch to it only when I want to consume P3 content.

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

This is a great monitor. Sadly, I don't know if 4k is worth it at this size, as I still end up scaling everything to match my second 1080p monitor. In fact, running 4k resolution at 100% makes everything so small, if you're looking to go with 4k I'd recommend a larger monitor. I've also noticed that red colors pop a lot more and I haven't been able to figure out how to fix this
