High refresh rate and great resolution for immersive gaming to the point where all other monitors seem bland and jittery by comparison. Really happy with my purchase.

I was very concerned when reading reviews for this screen as they are all over the place.
But after getting it I will say this. It is fantastic. It is VA but has the same viewing angles as my old IPS screen—no drop in clarity or brightness.

And going from 1080 to 1440 is wonderful. I'm so glad I made this upgrade.

The 1500r curve is very comfortable and looks slick as heck.

This is the best monitor withing this price range bar none.

what a fantastic monitor at this price point. it's hard to fault.

it has a great stand with a small footprint and a pretty face. even without wall mounts, it doesn't make my desk feel cluttered. the range of swivel etc adjustment is enough for me (and probably for others as well) even tgough i have to align them to a third, different, monitor.

the refresh rate is buttery smooth. going from 60HZ to 165 is mind-alteringly amazing. just moving a window across the desktop is a breathtaking experience. although it *has* ruined my third monitor (at 60Hz) for me for good.

1440p at 27" is wonderfully sharp. text is crisp and i struggle to see how 4k at desk distance could be an improvement.

i have two on my desk and having spent two weeks working during the day, and gaming at night, i can confidently say that i have far less eye strain than with my older monitors from back in the day. however, the backlighting is not quite uniform and there are some noticeably lighter areas when the room is dark and the screen is showing dark (black) content. HDR would be great, but that just doesn't exist anywhere at this price point. to remove these issues, one pretty much needs to double the price.

at this price, it can't be beat.

small note: using multiple monitors with display port means that turning one off causes windows to reset the number of monitors not to include the turned off one (due to how display port reports itself having a monitor attached). if you are gaming when you turn off the side monitor, there will be a one or two second black screen as windows re-sorts the monitors. some monitors send a sleep state signal when turned off. these don't. i used an HDMI cable to bypass this, but it means i am limited to 144Hz at 1440p on my secondary monitor. an option to sleep rather than turn off when the power button is pressed would have been nice. at least windows 11 remembers that it existed in the first (unlike 10) and puts everything (icons, open windows etc) back where they were when the screen is turned back on.

i went back and forth between four stars and five for quite a while. the backlighting and the lack of sleep on power button dropped it to a four in the end. but... wow.

The monitor itself works great, but the blue downlight that is supposed to be underneath the monitor does not work, I have factory reset my monitor, unplugged and plugged it back in. And then when you got into the OSD(On-Screen Display) and try to toggle the light off/on, it would not work.

Now this is not a big issue when it comes to the actual monitor which works perfectly,
Full 1440p, VRR with AMD Freesync, and vibrant colors with a bright display.

But it is a bummer that not all advertised featres work as intended.

smooth response, high refresh rate and lovely colours.
the curve isnt that hectic which i appreciate.
probably the best bang-for-buck screen i've ever found.

The price is extremely good, the quality (physical and display) is awesome and the refresh rate is a must! I bought one for personal use, ordered one for work-from-home and getting another one for my fiancé.

Excellent refresh rate
Low ghosting for a VA panel which is unnoticeable even in faster paced games such as cs2(when using extreme overdrive)
The VA Panel itself is great even surpassing my higher end ips monitor in terms of colors.
On a side note switching between a flat panel and this curved monitor is virtually unnoticeable after a few days.

Wow, what great monitor. This is my first 27" and first 1440p, and the image quality is superb. Windows looks so clean, games are so much smoother, it's just so much better than 1080p. I'm using it on display-port so I'm making use of 165hz refresh rate - it's brilliant.

Using this monitor with my ps5 and its well worth the purchase. Can run 120fps on supported games without issue.

Colour and viewing angles are really good. The curve is nothing crazy but is appreciated. The build quality is amazing. Adjusted the monitor height and tilt is smooth. Feels premium.

There's a few settings that I changed to get the best out of the monitor for me.
- Response rate: Extreme
- Contrast and brightness: Max

Got it on a sale so cannot really complain but I wouldnt recommend this monitor. There is a fair amount of light bleed on the edges and the curve distortion just isnt worth it compared to a normal quality flat screen. Only positive thing is the refresh rate... Get anything else if you can afford it.

Crisp display, adjustable height and tilt works well, and the joystick-button interface instead of the usual illegible dimple buttons to adjust the screen display on the monitor itself works SOOO much better.

I am really impressed with the screen quality for someone transitioning from a 15.6 inch laptop FHD laptop screen. Its so much better in every way. And the pricing is extremely good for this type of quality. Games are looking awesome as well. Thanks Wootware!

I have been looking into 1440p monitors for a while now as I wanted to upgrade from 1080p. I have been looking into all the other monitors specs and this one is definitely a good one to start with

The Dell S2722DGM is a 27" WQHD desktop monitor that offers a compelling mix of features and performance at its price point, which is currently R5499. How can you say no to that? The display provides a crisp and detailed image quality, making it well-suited for various tasks such as productivity work, multimedia consumption, and even gaming. I've got my PC connected to the Display port and 2 consoles to the HDMI ports. Inputs automatically based on what device is on. It doesn't have speakers on it own, so you'll have to purchase a pair that plugs into the 3.5mm port on the back of the monitor.

The monitor's 1440p resolution delivers a noticeable upgrade over standard Full HD displays, providing a good balance between screen real estate and pixel density. The colours are vibrant and well-saturated, thanks to the monitor's decent colour accuracy and wider colour gamut.

One of the stand-out features of the S2722DGM is its fast refresh rate and response time. This monitor excels in fast-paced gaming and reduces motion blur, providing a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience. The 165Hz mode works on the Display port only it seem, could be wrong, you can set up the console of choice to use the 120Hz and 1440p display settings in your options (Xbox Series X/S and PS5).

The design of the monitor is sleek and minimalist, with slim bezels that allow for a more immersive viewing experience, especially when using multiple monitors in a multi-display setup.

On the downside, some users might find the monitor's stand to be a bit basic, but I prefer this stand because it's more form that the ASUS and LG variants. It may lack ergonomic adjustments like height and swivel, however, this can be mitigated by using a VESA mount for better flexibility.

Overall, the Dell S2722DGM is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality WQHD monitor with gaming capabilities. Its combination of resolution, refresh rate, and response time, along with its vibrant colors and immersive design, make it a strong contender in its category.

The only down side I can think of is that I did not have enough money to buy two.

This is a perfect monitor for entry level 1440p gaming. Coming from 1080p. Combined with any 3000 series graphics card. It pushes smooth game play. VA panels have their drawbacks and I can see it, but for my level of gaming, it's just a question of your eyes adjusting the new eye candy. I used this monitor for 1 day at my shop and highly considering it buying another one for that purpose.

Wootware - Thank you very much for the online chat assistance when I ordered and registered, here you are not just an order number, wham bam thank you mam, NO, they deal on a personal level and update you every step of the way. Just one thing perhaps, cover the items so people cant see what is in transit, just something I thought I would share, but I am happy.

Thank you

Wootware Service: Excellent. The team (Joshua) responded quickly and efficiently to queries I had. They were professional and very helpful.

Delivery: The delivery to Gauteng was easy and painless. Excellent.

Screen:

Resolution: Very happy with the screen. Glad I got a 1440p instead of a 1080p. It just makes text much clearer and easier to read in Excel and documents with small print. I am sure 1080p for a 24inch screen is fine, but for 27inch I would recommend 1440p

Work/Office: Excellent. I got the screen for work purposes as I don't game. Very happy with the text clarity and sharpness. The curve, I am neutral, don't think it changes much. I enjoy it, but it will be personal preference.

Contrast: Excellent. I prefer VA panels over IPS for the contrast. Great black levels and no IPS Glow. Great for viewing videos with dark scenes, all the detail is visible.

Gaming: As noted, I don't game, but from reviews I've watched online it seems the response time and black blurring is barely noticeable (if any). I can't say from gaming experience, but from day to day work I don't notice any blurring or lag/response time issues. If you are a super mega gamer streamer type person, maybe get the IPS, seems the gamers love IPS, but as noted, I prefer a screen with a good contrast, easier on the eyes for working in my opinion,

We're not professional gamers and haven't had a lot of other screens to compare to, so really difficult to give a review that will help others (I bought this based on a lot of reviews), but bought this for my partner who plays a lot of FPS games on PS4 and he's super chuffed with the picture quality, the ms, the epic low input lag and the speed at which he can play now - huge difference. Obviously the PS4 can only do 60Hz, so it's an overkill, but was also going for a bit of future proofing as well.

Colour and brightness is great, the curve really does make a difference, especially if playing in a lighter room (glare is reduced, hardly even noticeable if there is glare).

Only down side to this is that there is no HDR (ie to future proof it for a PS5 or other), but I was hesitant to buy an HDR screen in this price range because a lot of screens apparently don't live up to what it says or not proper HDR. Overall, this screen really doesn't disappoint in this price range considering there isn't HDR (unless you're a professional gamer and can notice all the things, which you probably can).

And obs, Wootware is amazing, service, pricing and delivery time is spot on and never disappoints. Super happy!

What an awesome monitor. I would highly recommend it if you are in the market. Going from 1080p to a 1440p is incredible. Worth the extra to get the 1440p. Very happy with my choice, and do not think a 32" would have been any better (WAY to large in my opinion - unless you can sit further back).

This display is a lot of "firsts" for me. First 27", first 1440p, first 165Hz. It does not disappoint on any of these topics. I'll certainly be looking at picking up another one to complete my setup.

This is an absolutely amazing VA monitor.

Set the response time to "Extreme" to minimize the VA black-smearing effect.
Do not use MPRT, as the image-doubling effect on static objects is VERY noticeable and looks quite bad (can be seen easier on top-down ARPG games like Diablo 3).

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Colour accuracy is really good. Very fast panel with zero noticeable ghosting on fast titles such as CS:GO and Apex Legends.

My PC with a 1080ti and i7-8700k runs everything at this resolution and refresh rate just fine.

The contrast is massive for content creation.

FreeSync Premium Pro works wonders aswell, even though I'm on a Nvidia card.

10/10
