Dell 144Hz Gaming Monitor FHD 24 Inch Monitor - 1ms Response Time, LED Edgelight System, AMD FreeSync Premium, VESA, Gray - S2421HGF

Download drivers from Dell after plugging in. First one I got the screen went wonky after a few hours called tech support and nothing fixed it. Amazon sent out a new one and it works great. Haven’t used it for gaming yet but plan to.Easy to setup.Purchased a DisplayPort cable to use as this only comes with HDMI.

This monitor performs exactly as I intended it to. If you need a sharp image, good refresh rate, g-synch, with a brand you can trust, this is it. I had no problems unpacking it, setting up the stand that came with the monitor, or using the controls on this monitor. Everything about it was simple and easy to use. For me, a feature I ended up really liking but didnt anticipate was the automatic screen switch. It recognizes if my laptop or xbox is on and automatically switches. It is smart enough though, to not switch back and forth when both are on. This monitor is good value, performs as expected, and was easy to set up. 5/5

tl;dr: I got two of these because the specs looked good on paper and they were cheaper than others with similar specs. Sadly once I hooked them up and saw a live picture I realized why they were so cheap--the colors are horribly washed out. Having two side-by-side makes the controls for the one on the left really hard to work, too. I wanted a pair of monitors with 1) about 23-24 inches diagonal, 2) 1080p resolution, 3) height and tilt adjustment, 4) DP and HDMI inputs, 5) 120Hz or more refresh and fast response time, 6) FreeSync and/or G-Sync compatibility, 7) narrow side bezels, 8) down-facing ports if possible, and, of course, 9) in my budget. These look great on paper, meeting all my requirements. Plus, these not only have FreeSync, they have FreeSync Premium AND G-Sync compatibility (I know G-Sync Compatible is not the same as G-Sync, but all true G-Sync monitors are too expensive for my budget; also, you might be interested to know these monitors came with a G-Sync decal on the stand bases not pictured in the product listing). These also have 3-year advanced exchange service and premium panel exchange. Opinions differ but I trust Dell, especially their premium/business class products, based on past experience. Finally, the AC/DC converter is built in to the monitor so you dont have to deal with a brick on the power cord. Unfortunately while, as I said, these look good on paper, IRL the picture colors look very muted, dull, and washed out. Yes, there are some adjustments you can make; and no, its not bad enough for me to want to return them, especially given all the other good points about them--but it sure was a big disappointment when I saw my brand new toys light up for the first time. Additionally--and I didnt even think about this before I got them--the control buttons are on the back right side, so if you put two of these right next to each other the controls of the left one are hard to work. Ergonomically speaking, the control placement for a single monitor is actually pretty good (although the five-way joystick is a little touchy...and Im not really sure why additional buttons are even needed with a five-way joystick) but with two side-by-side its good for one and really bad for the other. Also, this monitor has a headphone jack (but not on the front or somewhere easy to reach). I like having a Fire TV Stick connected to an Xbox One connected to one of my two PC monitors, and I thought running a stereo audio cable from the headphone jack of the monitor to the line input of my PC would allow me to hear the Fire TV/Xbox sound through my PC, but it didnt work. Maybe because the output and input levels were unbalanced...maybe because I didnt configure sound settings correctly...who knows. I gave up quickly and didnt actually try connecting wired headphones to the monitor to see if that worked because it isnt a desirable solution for my setup...and I dont want to have to buy a separate converter/extractor. All in all if youre looking for a budget-friendly, entry-level gaming monitor with a good guarantee/warranty and you want some of this ones specific features (like height adjustment, which isnt all that common), this is a good value...just keep in mind it will be hard to work the controls of the left monitor in a side-by-side setup and youre going to have to spend some time adjusting the color, brightness, contrast, etc. both on the monitor and on your PC.

This is an excellent gaming monitor for those of us who are also working from home during the pandemic. Colors are great for a TN panel. One of the things I like the most about it is the ability to adjust the height of the stand. I have a sit stand desk at my studio that I often times swing up and down during the day while working. The ergo capabilities of the monitor makes it so much easier on my column to withstand the entire day at home! I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the market for a gaming monitor. At $199 it won’t break your bank, and you’re getting an impressive 144hz refresh rate!

This monitor is an average gaming monitor but a good bang for your buck. If you turn the response time to “extreme” you will get a ghosting effect. (If you don’t know much about monitors, look up monitor ghosting on YouTube) I had to lower the setting down for my colors to get better in higher FPS games. If I had to redo my purchase, I might’ve saved up my money to get a better quality monitor

144hz crazy for warzone, brightness is CRAZY bright but you can change it, customization is next level, you can customize every aspect physical or in the monitor settings.

This monitor works great! My previous monitor was a zowie monitor so I dont know if its because Im used. to that monitor but this monitor seems a little off with its quality in comparison. That being said this monitor is amazing and works great, its just something that I noticed when I got it, and months later its still my mains monitor for gaming, I love it.

The quality boost to my gaming was surprising. Coming from 60hz on very old displays, I was surprised. Might be a bit too bright out of the box. Color is good, maybe a tad washed out, but changing profiles helped. Very happy overall with my purchase.

Ya cant beat this for the money!! Its crystal clear and wicked fast and Ill bet the gamers really like this one. Im not a gamer but do like to be the fastest kid on the block I did have to call Dell to set it up properly which is never an enjoyable experience.

So at first I was a little hesitant about buying the monitor because of people saying it dosent work for ps5.I’ve been looking for a monitor that will be able to support the 120FPS.THIS IS THE ONE DONT LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE.Let me explain...the ps5 requires 2.1 for 4K at 120HZ. But it still supports 1.4 because the quality is at 1080p HD. So in short monitor with a 1.4 at 1080p HD at 144HZ will work with the ps5 unlesss you want to get 4K at 120hz you would have to find a 2.1 port .
