DellG2725D Gaming Monitor - 27-inch QHD (2560x1440) up to 180 Hz, 2ms Response time, 99% RGB Display, DisplayPort/HDMI Connectivity, AMD FreeSync, Comfortview, Tilt Adjustable - Black

This is a fine 32 inch 4K monitor for my 2024 Mac Mini Pro, and a very good value at under $500. I'm used to the Apple iMac 27 inch 5K screen. I did not want a monitor with speakers, having desktop studio audio speakers. The G3223Q's screen has a variety of selectable resolutions and color parameters - colors are accurate. It is marketed as a "gaming" monitor and I can't comment on that as I'm using it as a "desktop" monitor so far. I did like the advertised 144 hz refresh rate for gaming. Most 4K monitors only offer 60 hz refresh rates.Something I find interesting as a non-technical person is when I experiment with selecting various available resolutions under Apple's System Settings/Displays, I like 3008 x 1692 better than the default 3840 x 2160, which is actually 4K resolution. This 3008 x 1692 resolution looks sharp and with it applications when opened seem a good choice/compromise for size on the screen. I'm not sure if I'll stick with it because with 3008 x 1692 the 120 hz refresh rate is the highest available. At 3840 x 2160 I can "make larger" Safari web pages (Command + key shortcut) and that pretty much takes the webpage browser's size to where 3008 x 1692 opens Safari, leaving more monitor space for other applications. But I will mostly want those applications to be larger too - so reading smaller fonts isn't a strain. Anyway, the monitor is versatile.One negative, which I should keep in perspective but is a true Dell marketing decision head-scratcher, is the monitor ships with an HDMI 2.0 cable - actually with four different cables. This is nice - hence keeping my perspective as some monitors don't ship with any cables. But the G3223Q monitor has an advertised HDMI 2.1 as a major selling point. Supposedly the monitor must be connected with an "Ultra Fast" HDMI 2.1 cable to achieve its full capability spec of 4K and 144hz, not the 2.0 cable they provide customers. I bought an HDMI 2.1 cable (from Crutchfield - a short one was about $20 - and is of nice quality). I did this because the 2024 Mac Mini Pro supports HDMI 2.1. It may be the provided 2.0 cable does the trick and for reasons I'm unaware of and despite what I read about 2.1 bandwidth/speeds the supposed 2.0's lesser bandwidth/speed capability doesn't actually apply to this monitor. Or, maybe, the monitor isn't actually 2.4? Something seems askew because I didn't see any differences under the Apple System Settings/Displays offered resolutions or refresh rates between the two HDMI cables. Make of that what you will. I did call Dell to complain about the provided cable not matching the advertised speed of the monitor and they acknowledged the paired cable with the monitor isn't 2.1. They also said, "Sorry, this is what is supposed to ship with the monitor. We are in the process of going through our cable inventory." So, not going to send me the right cable even though the Dell.com website sells a 2.1 cable for about $15.Nevertheless I am very pleased overall and would definitely buy the Dell G3223Q monitor again. It is great for games and desktop uses.

As the headline states, it really might be. I've had it a little over a month now and honestly couldn't be happier. At a price point of 500-600, this is totally worth it. Recently upgraded from a 1440p BenQ gaming monitor and it's a huge difference.Was looking for a monitor that I could use for color accurate work with my Macbook, but also something that I could use to get the most out of my Series X. It's a bit tricky to find something to do both well, but this is the best I have come across. Color gamut is great and very accurate out of the box with a calibration report. Using a monitor calibrator isn't necessary, but fine tunes it even more if you need to.The selection of ports is really nice, OSD is simple enough, brightness is more than enough (especially compared to other LED gaming monitors), HDR is better than other monitors within this category (HDR 600). Overall the panel is nice and crisp with excellent picture quality no matter what you're doing. The matte coating isn't TOO strong and doesn't degrade the picture quality nearly as much as others.I tried the BenQ EX3210u and one of the LG monitors that's comparable and this came out a clear winner for a lot of different reasons (despite the BenQ advertising wider P3 gamut coverage).Yes, OLED monitors are going to be superior to this - but that jumps you into a different category all together (including price, which is literally double the cost of this). This also looks the sleekest out of the gaming monitors - no dragons or unicorn vomit on the back of unit which makes it suitable for professional settings as well.Overall - get it. Especially if you need it to do more than just game on it and need color accuracy. No risk of burn in compared to OLED, color accurate, great gaming experience for consoles, sleek design and a 3 year replacement warranty from Dell. At this price point, certainly the best value on the market.
