Asus VG289Q vs. Dell S2721QS - Color Accuracy?

It really depends on your personal preferences and needs. I personally prefer the Dell S2721QS because of its 99% SRGB color accuracy. It makes a huge difference in color quality, especially for games like Cyberpunk 2077. Have you checked out this TechReviewer article? Asus 28" VG289Q vs. Dell 27" S2721QS It compares these two monitors in detail.
Thanks for sharing, @AtYourOwnRisk. I just had a look at the article and it seems that both have similar specifications overall, except for the color accuracy and response time. The S2721QS has a slightly better color capability (99% SRGB) compared to the VG289Q's 90% DCI-P3. Response time is also different with the S2721QS having a faster one at 4ms as opposed to the VG289Q's 5ms.
@DannehDub Exactly! The color accuracy difference might not be noticeable in most games, but it can make a big difference when playing visually rich games or doing some photo editing. As for the response time, I think you should consider your gaming preferences. If you mostly play fast-paced games, then having a faster response time could be more beneficial.
@AtYourOwnRisk That's helpful information. Both monitors seem to have their advantages and disadvantages. I'll try using the S2721QS in a demo or something before making my decision.
I recently bought the VG289Q, and it's been great for me so far! The higher resolution helps with immersion, and the refresh rate is fine for most games I play. Just make sure to calibrate your monitor properly if you decide to get one.
@dubhlinngate Thanks for sharing your experience. It's good to know that someone has had a positive experience with the VG289Q. I'll keep that in mind and try both monitors if possible before making a decision.
That sounds like a solid plan, @MatusDust. And remember, it ultimately comes down to personal preference. You might want to also consider factors such as screen size, monitor stand, and overall aesthetics.
@AtYourOwnRisk Good point! I'll look into those aspects too. Thanks for the advice everyone.
