> 3 dayGreat 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...

> 3 dayMonitor works like it should. Good picture and refresh rate. My only gripe is that it was shipped in its original box last at the edge of my front porch. You can clearly see Dell and Gaming Monitor on the box. My neighbors suck and will take a penny if they can. At least put a cover box/bag over it for shipping.

> 3 dayI bought two of the 24 monitors for my son who had previously bought some Z-Edge monitors, but to no avail. Both were defective and a disappointment. We were at first hesitant to buy these because we thought the price was too low for it to be an actually good 144hz monitor, but when they arrived and my son tested them out, they not only met our expectations, but went above and beyond! The brightness is lovely and my son says that he can never go back to 60hz because everything moves so smoothly. We did end up buying some HDMI to Display Port adapters in advance because he wanted a dual monitor setup but his GPU only had one HDMI cable. Overall I would give this product a 10/10 in both quality and price (again, much cheaper than the others you find!) If any problems pop up Ill update this review to mention those, although I hope everything goes fine.

> 3 dayDownload 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.

> 3 dayGoing from a 55 inch tv, casual gamer, to a little bit more serious of a gamer, this monitor as exceeded my expectations. The quality is good in my opinion, but im no professional gamer. Going from a 55 inch TV to this, has by itself made me perform better in competitive gamemodes. So take this as you will. I have had it for almost a year and to this point nothing has gone out or broken on it. Works as intended. And seems to me to be above average.

> 3 dayTo 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.

Greater than one weekThis 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!

> 3 dayI’ve had the monitor for abt a month now and it works great so no complaints Edit: I’ve had the monitor for over a year now and it still works wonders so it was an absolute steal when I bought it for $156

> 3 dayI recently built a new gaming PC and wanted a 144hz monitor to replace my (now secondary) 60hz BenQ. After looking at the competition, I found this to be the best option on price alone. One caveat is that I thought this was an IPS monitor when I bought it. It is not, but you wont even notice! Theres a startling lack of glare, and it looks well at most viewing angles. The biggest difference between this and my BenQ, is that after calibration the colors are beautifully rich. I suspect that is also why the monitor tends to be a little darker, as the gamma and brightness lacks.

Greater than one weekid say this is one of the better TN panels Ive worked on, colors are slightly washed out from the factory, but going into windows color calibration helped fix the issue. Have an IPS panel next to it so I can tell the slight color differences but if you only have one monitor, you would probably never notice. good to note that it comes with a very sturdy stand and that it is indeed VESA mountable (unlike the reviews and answers say)
