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

Going 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.

Monitor 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.

Great monitor for the price, only 2 downsides to this monitor, one is the cheap joystick Dell decided to put on the back of it to adjust the display settings (but once you get your settings set you wont have to touch it again) second is no built-in speakers. I would defiantly buy again! But shame on you dell for the chintzy joystick.

ill give it a 4 out of 5 because it was not 144hz it only went up to 120 but the assembly was easy would not recommend it if you want a 144hz monitor

its a good monitor, i used to play with my ps5 and work. However, it doesnt have speakers.

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.

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.

I bought a BenQ XL2411P for Christmas here on Amazon, it arrived in two days, needless to say I couldnt wait until Dec 25th so I opened it and tried it out. I honestly dont understand the hype. The Ghosting was so bad (that is an understatement) I tried to find a solution online and all I can read on the forums were to turn on blurr correction, configure it etc. I spent an entire day trying to fix the ghosting issue. I gave up and sent it back. After looking for monitors an entire day I had two more on the list this DELL S2421HGF and a ViewSonic Gaming monitor that was twice the price. Well being that this one was $199 I went ahead and clicked on buy. The monitor arrived 2 days later. The colors are not as great as a VA or an IPS, but I am so impressed at the almost no visible Ghosting this monitor is capable of. I am never going with another cheap brand ever again. Dont buy into the hype. Honestly Im starting to wonder if those reviews are real since I cant comprehend how someone could settle for such bad ghosting. Purchase the true and tried brands that have succeeded here in the U.S (Dell, ViewSonic, Samsung, LG etc.) You will not be disappointed with this monitor if youre on a budget. This Dell S2421HGF beats my old Viotek 1440p 144hz VA display, it destroys the overhyped BenQ XL2411P that has so bad Ghosting that it feels like every game is on Nitrous from Need for Speed. If you want smooth gameplay this is it.

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

I dont game, and I put this on an adjustable stand so the pretty stand that came with it is a waste on me. That said, it was a better deal than the business monitors, with all of the connectors I could want and more performance than I need. What more do you want?
