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

Great monitor and everything but the speakers just don’t work. I honestly don’t care to much because I was planing on buying desktop speakers anyways but I like stuff to work when I buy it...

First monitor was bad, replacement is fine. Both units I received make electronic noise while turned on so they used some Very cheap internal parts in this unit. Picture is better on colors than other TN monitors I have used in the past. One thing that stands out about this monitor is the all black design is much better than 99% of other ugly designs of monitors, this look is much appreciated. At $170 being cheaper than most of its competitors it was a fair purchase. However if you can find a better price and you like the specs/design I would say go for that instead nothing too special about this monitor. One major reason I bought this monitor is for a TN panel because 144hz with less motion blur and faster response than other panel types. Also its appreciated that this monitor uses a flat panel and Not curved. Important thing to note is Dell is a jerk and does NOT include a DisplayPort cable, So if you want 144hz and Free/Gsync youll need to spend an extra $10 making real Total price about $195. About 4 years ago I had 144hz monitor for $150 that came with DisplayPort cable, so as with most things price is inflated during Covid times. If your tight on a budget MonoPrice.com I see has an openbox 144hz monitor for $130 and regular price $150 for that monitor. I hope my review was helpful!

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 .

To be clear, this is a review of the 24 model, not the 27. Ive only had it for a couple days, so Ill have to wait and see whether my long-term experience matches my initial impressions, but so far it has met all my expectations. Easy to assemble and hook up, with no stuck pixels or other cosmetic issues. It only comes with an HDMI cable so I had to buy a DisplayPort cable separately but thats not a big deal. Also, I was pleased to discover that it does indeed support G-Sync. The store page listings gave me the impression that the 24 and 27 models both support FreeSync but only the bigger one had G-Sync, so when I ordered the smaller one I expected to have to figure out how to make FreeSync work with my PCs Nvidia card. But the actual packaging (and a sticker on the stand base) make it clear that the 24 one absolutely does support G-Sync too, and once I had it connected it was easy to enable it from the Nvidia control panel. Im upgrading from a basic 60 hz office-style monitor, so Ive immediately noticed a big difference when gaming. My PC isnt particularly powerful, so most games cant stay above 100 fps without turning down the graphics settings, but even running at 80-90 fps, everything feel noticeably smoother. The 1 ms response time also makes a big difference there - my old monitor had an input lag of something like 8 ms. And G-Sync seems to be doing its job as far as avoiding tearing or stuttering, and even when I keep the graphics settings high and allow the framerate to fluctuate, it still feels smooth. The overall image also looks brighter, clearer and sharper, with noticeably more vibrant colors. Thats especially true when gaming but it even applies just to web browsing. As gaming monitors go, this one is pretty much the most affordable option without sacrificing quality, so its probably outclassed by most other gaming screens, but if youre upgrading from a generic 60 hz monitor its a substantial improvement. My only complaint is that, for whatever reason, the default gamma setting is way, way too high, so when I first plugged it in the whole thing looked really washed out, with colors that were actually less bright than on my old monitor. At first I thought it was a contrast problem so I tried to fiddle with the monitors own contrast and brightness settings but that didnt work. But then I went into the Nvidia control panel and turned the gamma down by about 30% and voila - instant fix.

The monitor is awesome and has been a huge upgrade from my previous main monitor. The issue I have is that there are two different monitors shown in the listing. I was under the assumption I was getting a curved monitor because the primary pictures on Amazon are of a curved monitor. The monitor I got isn’t curved but if you look it up on dells website you’ll see it’s not curved. Other than the misrepresentation of products on the listing I am extremely happy with this monitor.

**Arrival** The monitor arrived to me in perfect condition. There was little to no distress on the box (small dents on the edge of the box) and the contents were not damaged whatsoever **Packaging** The packaging on the monitor was normal standard. The Monitor was laying on foam with the screen face down. **STANDS** The Monitor stand has a very unique design which looks amazing. The shape stands out but not too much. Although what i dont like is the monitor cannot turn clockwise whatsoever which means this monitor cannot stand vertical if you are using the stand dell provides. You are able to tilt and adjust the monitors height **Colors/Brightness/Picture Quality** Compared to the S2417DG the colors are very bright. This monitor is just as bright as the AW2521HF. I am amazed at the colors of this monitor, for the price listed, its the best colors ive ever seen for a monitor for this price. It almost looks like a IPS. **Control Panel** The control panel has many options Really like how you are able to adjust the brightness and and the response time. Overall: I the monitor is 100% the best monitor for this price. You have so much access to adjust your display to your liking ( way more than my 240hz Asus monitor ) The display is so good it looks close to a IPS Monitor! This will be great for PS5 and Xbox since its 144hz and the new gens are going to be 120hz. Do I recommend this monitor? YES 100% Any Flaws? Yes, you cannot rotate your monitor vertically Whatsoever, only tilt and adjust the height Is it worth its price? YES 100% This was not a paid review, i 100% payed for this monitor

Love this thing. Mainly play apex and cod. Blows my more expensive acer away! Highly recommended

I am not an expert on monitors and stuff bc I’m pretty new to it all but I really love this monitor the picture quality is great and I haven’t had any problems with it for the past month I’ve had it. My games look great on the screen and it is super bright! I love it and overall think it’s a great monitor especially for the price!!! :)

I purchased this on cyber Monday so I was attracted to the price and specs. I’m not a gamer but a home office monkey. Working with multiple ERP systems and excel sheets. It was laggy at first until the software was downloaded onto the computer and restarted. I manually changed the refresh rate as well. After that it was working fast. No lag. The picture did seem a little foggy but I played around with the picture quality controls until it was comfortable. For the price I would recommend and buy again.

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.
