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

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

If you get this on sale, it is a great monitor! It has 144hz and really fast response time which makes it perfect for gaming. Really bright and good picture quality if you spend time configuring it because out of the box the colors look kind of washed out.

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.

This monitor is very good for the money. It offers high refresh rate, and great image quality if you spend the time to adjust the settings. The color presets are terrible, but it is absolutely possible to dial in a great image on this monitor. The viewing angles are okay, the color distorts pretty quickly when not looking straight at the screen, but that is to be expected with any panel of this type. For gaming I think this is the best budget pick I have found. The stand is nice and adjustable for both height and angle.

Very good monitor for the price, my last monitor was an alienware 25 240hz, i was afraid that 144hz was going to be an step down, but honestly you cant tell the difference. monitor size is perfect, and to me the best feature is that auto switches source input when detected or needed.

This is my fault, the product was great but the driver issues I had were insane. Once I plugged in the monitor, the monitor had tearing issues and also disconnected my other monitor. Also, the monitor would only go up to 63 fps before installing drivers. After installing new drivers and restarting my computer, the problems were fixed.

Got it for my broda and he said he likes it but unfortunately for some reason he needs a gpu since he doesnt have one which makes him get to only 120 hertz. I have a Nvidia GPU and when I used it for a test I get 144 hertz...

My monitor had all sorts of issues where the image would glitch out really bad at 120 and 144hz. This happened when I was using the HDMI cable that the monitor came with. I thought Id read somewhere that it was compatible, but maybe that just wasnt true. BUY A DISPLAYPORT CABLE. Completely fixed my issue, 100%. Joystick button on the back seems like an unnecessary and likely point of failure. Image quality is 4/5. If youre wondering if theres a difference between your 60hz monitor and this 144hz one, it depends: If you are going to play games on it and regularly get over 100fps: oh my god yes. If you dont get over 100 fps, or you arent looking to game on this: stick to 60hz and save your money because all of the impact you see will just be placebo.

I have 2 of the 24” versions of these monitors, and I’ve been using them for about 2.5 years now and they’re great. I actually just came back to the page for it to get mounting details because I’m about to mount them on the wall for the first time. 2.5 years later and they’re still my main monitors and still work great like the day I got them.

A few things to note for those interested in buying this monitor. - The default colors look awful and will disappoint you at first. But dont fear, a few setting tweaks and it will look fantastic! - Ghosting issues come when trying to use the Extreme Response time setting while connected to HDMI. Use a Display Port to use this monitor to its full potential - Make sure you pay attention when setting the resolution with NVIDIA Control Panel. If you pick Ultra HD 1080p, 1920x1080 (native) setting you will only see a 120hz max refresh rate. You need to make sure you choose PC, 1920x1080 to unlock 144hz
