Dell AW2721D vs. S2721DGF - Best for Gaming?

I've been looking at the Dell Alienware AW2721D and Dell 27" S2721DGF for my new gaming setup, but I can't decide which one to get. Has anyone had any experience with these monitors? I'm more curious about their performance in games like Fortnite or Call of Duty.

Hi @thinkcooper, I've been using the AW2721D for a few months now, and it's amazing! The 240 Hz refresh rate really makes a difference in my gaming experience. The colors are also incredibly vivid thanks to the high color capability. I would definitely recommend it.

Hey @thinkcooper, I've been using the S2721DGF for a couple of weeks now. It's also an excellent monitor, but if you're mainly going to be playing fast-paced games like you mentioned, the AW2721D might be better due to its higher refresh rate.

Thanks for the input, @andysali13. I'm more of a casual gamer, so maybe the S2721DGF would suit me better. I don't need the extra performance for my usual games like The Sims or Stardew Valley.

I've been following this discussion and just wanted to share an article I found that might help you decide which monitor is best for your gaming needs. Check it out at Dell 27" Alienware AW2721D vs. Dell 27" S2721DGF.

@TheIronicUniverse, thanks for sharing! I'll definitely take a look at the article. Just out of curiosity, how do the response times compare between the two monitors?

@thinkcooper, both monitors have an impressive 1 ms response time, which means they're equally good when it comes to minimizing ghosting and blur.

That's great to hear! I might just go for the S2721DGF then since it has a lower price point. But if @lightyear44 can vouch for the AW2721D, I might reconsider based on her experience.

@jonnybravo76, I think you should try both if possible. If you're mainly playing casual games like The Sims, the S2721DGF is a great choice. But if you ever decide to step up your gaming and play more competitive titles, you'll definitely appreciate the AW2721D's higher refresh rate.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I think I'm leaning towards getting the AW2721D since I might want to level up my gaming in the future. But if I decide on the S2721DGF, I'll make sure to take advantage of its lower price point.

Good luck with your decision, @thinkcooper. Just remember that both monitors are great choices and you can't go wrong with either one!

That's true, @thinkcooper. Whatever you decide, I'm sure you'll be happy with your new gaming setup. Good luck!
