Earlier this year I bought a GTX 1070 and it's been great for gaming. However, I'm using a many year old LG 1080p 60Hz monitor. I've been thinking about upgrading to a 1440p 144Hz G-Sync monitor for a while, but prices are still pretty high. I don't need (nor can I fit) a large monitor on my desk, so I'm after a 24" monitor.

 

I've come across the Dell S2417DG, which is 1440p, 165Hz and has G-Sync...and I can get it at around £350. That price seems almost too good to pass up. It ticks all of my boxes. It has good reviews from what I've Googled and the company selling it also have a lot of good reviews.

 

I just want to be sure that I'm not missing anything and this is a good monitor for me to get.

It looks nice, but it's only 2K, for the price I would expect 4K, otherwise I see nothing wrong with it.

Not with G-Sync, you aren't getting 4k. I have the 27", it's awesome. I'm never going back to a regular refresh-rate monitor.

I did not realize that G-Sync was a higher price. All I was saying is that you could buy a 4K for that price, but as you pointed out, not with G-Sync

they are pretty dammed good tbh.

With having a 10 series, G-sync makes sense mate, esp if you play fps. check buying it direct from Dell though, it doesnt cost much to put a 4yr extended warranty with Dell on it ;) if anything fails on it, its swap out, swap in throughout the whole 4 years.

Direct from Dell it is £499.01. I've just picked it up for £380, which includes a 3 year warranty. :)

Thats a decent price buddy, where did you bag that from? 

 

Im holding off until the HDR Gsyncs come out Q1, i have a 27" 60Hz Samsung atm which is holding back my sig rig with its 1080ti Hybrid. IF i had the money to "waste" id bag the ROG 35" UW but at £1k thats just mental money :p

Itcsales.co.uk. I've heard of them before and they have good reviews.

I was initially going to hold off, but I've recently moved house and the new desk is lower than my previous one. My current monitor isn't height adjustable and doesn't have VESA mount points. So I used that as an excuse to get a new monitor. :)

Thanks, and lol I like your thinking!

Must try that........when i bought the 1080ti after the sig build, i got it for £150 less than retail (was a trade up deal with EVGA and i bought it off my mate/transferred the warranty) told the missus i got it for £150 less thinking shed be ok (you know, it was a bargain like train of thought!)....first response was, how much was it to get that much off.......her face was priceless, her reply? "you sad old manchild!" LOL funny though she doesnt say that when she uses the desktop for a touch of gaming.

This is a good screen, I'm also looking at an ASUS ROG SW PG278Q monitor and Dell U3415W you can consult.

Cheers, though I've already purchased the Dell S2417DG now. Both of those two monitors in your post are out of my price range unfortunately.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
