> 3 dayAfter returning my LG UltraGear 24GL600F-B for its horrible color banding, I was worried that I wouldnt find anything better in this price range for gaming AND artwork. I do a lot on my computer, and I need a monitor that supports that. No pixel issues, the stand is amazing, the whole thing is ergonomic with how it stands higher up than others, allowing you to view at a more natural angle. The thing is really close to being borderless, it looks so smooth and doesnt suffer from any glare issues. I only had to adjust my computers gamma, and going into testing contrast, black and white saturation, etc through Lagom, I can say this monitor has surprised me. Im just so glad I decided to refund that other one, and go for this. Who knew Dell makes such good monitors? I guess I do now.

> 3 dayIts a fair monitor but the picture quality isnt that good. I dont think its 1080p, looks like 720p as far as picture quality goes.

> 3 dayThis monitor is fantastic for the price, the super slim bezels on it make even the 24inch model look huge! Great brightness and response time, helps me wreck in Call Of Duty! lol! Its not perfect but it will work nicely for most people. THE ONLY HUGE GRIPE I HAVE IS, The monitor shipped in its original Dell packaging, it wasnt put in a brown box, lucky for me i got a camera at my front door watching and i was home, but its a huge target for porch pirates since it doesnt ship in a brown box, if you live in a shady area or dont have a camera at your front door, order at your own risk if you arent gonna be home at the delivery time. The seller also ships through USPS and not Amazon so you are gonna get the typical crappy USPS treatment. So thats a -1 star overall from me for poor shipping.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekI have been searching for good 144hz monitors but on a budget. I really wanted to go with a gaming brand that I was familiar with such as asus, acer, or MSI. I came across this just browsing through amazon and let me tell you, I was not dissapointed. This is the cleanest looking monitor ive ever used.

> 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 monitor overall is amazing. My monitor did not show up with any issues, no dead pixels and was not dead on arrival. The monitor makes all games very smooth and the picture quality is amazing. If you are considering buying the monitor I would buy it. Pros: Good picture quality 144HZ Height Adjustable and forward and back tilt Great price for the performance Comes with needed cable to run 144hz Multiple ports Cons: Only the base of the monitor stand is metal, though still sturdy May need to adjust the colors No pivot, though you cant get everything for the price Overall 10/10

> 3 dayGot 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...
