It does however have Freesync, which will reduce screen tearing and make everything even smoother in combination with the high refresh rate. Still, for all the other good features it offers, it could really be worth it if it was just a tad cheaper.

Most of those people who feel disappointed, I suppose that it is likely because they did not know that they had to set it up correctly. The menu contains the regular brightness and contrast settings, as well as more color settings than most monitors offer, but there's no gamma setting, which is annoying. Flicker free: Controlling the brightness using a direct current enables a flicker-free screen, giving you a more comfortable viewing experience.But the gamma was still low, making the picture look washed out, and I couldn't find any gamma setting in the OSD to adjust this – a strange omission, especially given the monitor's distance from the typical 2.

Sadly, there's no sRGB mode to counteract this issue, so all your colors may look a bit oversaturated in programs and games, unless you're playing in HDR where those colors will be mapped properly (at least, on games that implement HDR well).Even with mid/high-end costs, they elected to use the VA panel for this monitor, which surprised us. Light it up: A new uniquely designed downlight provides ambient and desktop illumination ideal for gaming in low-light conditions. It is right now one of the favorites, while the VA panel is left in the shadows due to the well-known downsides that can make it a very risky choice if you are unaware. Moreover, it’s a great monitor for work because you can position it perfectly in height, tilt (-5 degrees to 21 degrees) and you can even swivel it (-45 degrees to 45 degrees) and pivot (-90 degrees to 90 degrees).

Dell is a resounding name when it comes to computer electronics, as they have been around for quite some time.It’s a very good office monitor because Dell’s ComfortView feature is minimizing the harmful blue light. Though to be fair, the Gigabyte is also not certified, and its G-Sync isn't perfect – though it was more consistently reliable in all my tests.
