My Verdict in General Use:
Pros:

• Able to drive 1440p, 165Hz, 10-bit HDR, Freesync without any compromise
• Contrast ratio seems okay to me
• Color seems alright to me (sorry doesn't have colorimeter to test with)
• Color can be further calibrated HUE & Saturation not just in RGB, but also CMY. check my Dell S2721 OSD video below
• Response time is not bad, but might not the fastest one check my UFO test video below
• RGB lightning although I don't use it

Cons:

• Enable black stabilizer somewhat reduce image quality
• HDR content somewhere mediocre
• No display Integer scaling (meaning you only can do integer scaling with GPU)
• No USB-C ports
• Only 1x DP ports
• Monitor stand base not flat

hey, thanks for review, saw some video from bilibili that this monitor a little bit yellowish, is it true? can it be changed in RGB slider?

I load its calibration color profile that calibrated with D65. Doesn't look yellowish for me.
And Yes, you can changed in RGB slider, you can check the OSD video I posted.

hi thanks for the review.

how you would rate this dell2721dgf with lg27gl850?

Unable to answer your question as I didn't really get my hand on the LG27GL850 for review.

1. In term of specifications in real-use, both LG and Dell has little pros and cons, but not over by much. Both around the similar price.

2. In term of warranty, if I not mistaken, LG only offers 2-years warranty and required self-drop off at service center, while Dell offers 3-years warranty + customizable service.

great review ! just bought this yesterday !

seems not much shop selling this. where u guys find the monitor?

Directly order from Dell
