Why is the Dell S2721DGF more expensive than the Gigabyte M27Q?

Now that they're both in stock, the price difference ($330 vs. $500) baffles me.

The RTings review indicates that both are virtually identical. So, what am I missing?

Appreciate the input.

Different companies, different sale prices, released different times etc etc

Seems like the M27Q is better all around with the response time and color gamut. That is very aggressive pricing, wow. Looks like the best bang for the buck monitor of 2021.

So, I found out the reason is because:

A.) The M27Q uses a BGR subpixel layout which makes text appear fuzzy but is cheaper to manufacture.
B.) The S2721DGF has a much better stand.
