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

Pretty.. okay picture. Reminds me of the old school 4:3 lcd monitors, how the picture was washed out. Normally, I spend a good amount of time tweaking the picture settings to get it looking good, this monitor doesnt seem to have that ability. (At least not for game mode) so the best I could get is not very good. In the image, the monitor is on the left and the TV on the right is very accurate. Hope this helps to understand what youre getting. Again, everything else is great. The pixel blur effect is mild, easy to play games on. But everything else about this monitor is fantastic, 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.

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...

tl;dr: I got two of these because the specs looked good on paper and they were cheaper than others with similar specs. Sadly once I hooked them up and saw a live picture I realized why they were so cheap--the colors are horribly washed out. Having two side-by-side makes the controls for the one on the left really hard to work, too. I wanted a pair of monitors with 1) about 23-24 inches diagonal, 2) 1080p resolution, 3) height and tilt adjustment, 4) DP and HDMI inputs, 5) 120Hz or more refresh and fast response time, 6) FreeSync and/or G-Sync compatibility, 7) narrow side bezels, 8) down-facing ports if possible, and, of course, 9) in my budget. These look great on paper, meeting all my requirements. Plus, these not only have FreeSync, they have FreeSync Premium AND G-Sync compatibility (I know G-Sync Compatible is not the same as G-Sync, but all true G-Sync monitors are too expensive for my budget; also, you might be interested to know these monitors came with a G-Sync decal on the stand bases not pictured in the product listing). These also have 3-year advanced exchange service and premium panel exchange. Opinions differ but I trust Dell, especially their premium/business class products, based on past experience. Finally, the AC/DC converter is built in to the monitor so you dont have to deal with a brick on the power cord. Unfortunately while, as I said, these look good on paper, IRL the picture colors look very muted, dull, and washed out. Yes, there are some adjustments you can make; and no, its not bad enough for me to want to return them, especially given all the other good points about them--but it sure was a big disappointment when I saw my brand new toys light up for the first time. Additionally--and I didnt even think about this before I got them--the control buttons are on the back right side, so if you put two of these right next to each other the controls of the left one are hard to work. Ergonomically speaking, the control placement for a single monitor is actually pretty good (although the five-way joystick is a little touchy...and Im not really sure why additional buttons are even needed with a five-way joystick) but with two side-by-side its good for one and really bad for the other. Also, this monitor has a headphone jack (but not on the front or somewhere easy to reach). I like having a Fire TV Stick connected to an Xbox One connected to one of my two PC monitors, and I thought running a stereo audio cable from the headphone jack of the monitor to the line input of my PC would allow me to hear the Fire TV/Xbox sound through my PC, but it didnt work. Maybe because the output and input levels were unbalanced...maybe because I didnt configure sound settings correctly...who knows. I gave up quickly and didnt actually try connecting wired headphones to the monitor to see if that worked because it isnt a desirable solution for my setup...and I dont want to have to buy a separate converter/extractor. All in all if youre looking for a budget-friendly, entry-level gaming monitor with a good guarantee/warranty and you want some of this ones specific features (like height adjustment, which isnt all that common), this is a good value...just keep in mind it will be hard to work the controls of the left monitor in a side-by-side setup and youre going to have to spend some time adjusting the color, brightness, contrast, etc. both on the monitor and on your PC.

Im a gamer, and I was in need of two new monitors. One to replace the one I was using, and another to finally have a dual-monitor setup. Needless to say, this was one of the best purchases Ive ever made. The monitors were easy to set up, and they work exactly the way I need them to. My games look better, and Im finally able to multitask. Its worth noting that you might have to adjust the brightness and contrast a bit, but other than that, everything is perfect! Id definitely recommend this to anyone in search of a great new monitor.

Picture is absolute garbage. They sent no book or instructions for updates in the box. Size is good but for gaming it’s absolutely a lie or WalMart Quality knock offs. I tried to return and they sent a label…. Nope never came. No they say it’s past return date. 222 bucks don’t buy it you will regret. Done with Dell. Customer service was worst. I feel bad for my kid because he wanted this for his birthday. I guess my fault for not researching enough.

Was looking for a good birthday present for a family member. I really wanted to get him a nice monitor that didn’t completely break the bank. The frames, colors, and size are all very great on this monitor to the point where I even thought about buying myself one of these bad boys. Needless to say he loved it.

Using for second monitor for work not for gaming. Fantastic monitor.

After 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.

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.
