    The Dell S2722DGM is a very good monitor, especially if your main purpose is gaming and of course if you have a modern day graphics card. There are a lot of positive talking points to discuss about this Dell curved monitor and some minor negatives or miss steps on their part, but before that a quick few words about the packing and presentation of the monitor. The monitor comes from Amazon in its original retail box, which is an issue, because it is not double boxed and not extra protected, its prone to sustain some major damages during transportation, and that is exactly what happened to the first unit that was delivered to my house, upon inspection, the monitor screen was completely shattered inside, luckily Amazon was super fast to replace it and the second one came intact. Dells retail box is well designed with some images of the product inside and some of the most important features and specs outlined as well, unfortunately the packing insulation inside is not the best, the monitor is only separated with recycled cardboard and there is almost no foam protection. On the top side of the cardboard, there are the power cable, HDMI cable and the DVI cable, in addition to a small user manual and a warranty card. Inside and sandwiched between the two cardboard isolators is the monitor, the base of the stand and the monitor stand. Positives: - Great screen resolution and refresh rate - 2560x1440 is currently my favorite screen resolution for gaming, this partnered with 165Mhz refresh rate and 1-2 milliseconds response time, is a recipe for a good gaming experience. - AMD FreeSync, but most of all nVidia G-Sync technologies on board - FreeSync is great, but I was very pleasantly surprised to see that nVidia G-Sync was available as well! G-Sync was not mentioned anywhere, not on the box and not on the Amazon page, but G-Sync is on and working, attaching some screenshots from my GPU control panel. - Display port 1.2 and HDMI 2.0x2, 3.5mm headphone jack on board - great options for input, with the DP 1.2 you can use the max 165Hz and with the HDMI 2.0 the max is 120Hz. I would recommend to everyone to use the DP cable and port as you will be enjoying the maximum potential of this monitor. - Cables included - a lot of monitors are being sold without the DP or HDMI cable in the box, and this one is providing both. - Matte screen - no glare, no reflections on the screen, the picture is clear and crisp. - 99% Srgb and 350 nits of brightness - making this monitor not only good for gaming but for content creation as well. - High quality metal base and monitor stand - although I am using a dual monitor arm on my desk and I am not using the monitor stand that comes in the package, that stand is actually pretty good with a sturdy solid base and numerous adjustment positions. - Narrow side bezels, making the picture even more immersive and the monitor more compact. - Some good and useful options on board - Timer, FPS Counter and Dark Stabilizer, plus switching between the different panel speeds directly from the menu as well. - No RGB on this monitor - thank Dell, there is just a single small blue led light throwing light downwards under the monitor over your desk, nothing too distracting. Negatives: - Its still a VA panel - No IPS or anything better as a technology, so there are some picture compromises, but still better than TN panels. - Curved - now I am not still sold on the curved as a benefit, I would probably love those specs to come in a regular flat panel, but that is just me, some people might love the curved panel. - 2ms response time, if you want to benefit from G-Sync and FreeSync, if you set it to 1ms response time, those technologies become unavailable. - No HDMI 2.1 or DP 1.4 on board - A bit heavy as the power delivery is built into the monitor and is not on a separate power source. - Somewhat expensive - at $300, and considering the VA tech, I think that Dell is pushing it too much, at $250 this monitor would have been easily recommendable and more competitive. Overall, I like this monitor so far, it was a good step up from my previous 1080P 144Hz monitor, I can definitely see the difference in the GPU performance finally.

    So this monitor looks great! It plays games really well and has great color/saturation/brightness/etc. HOWEVER, I have some complaints. I ordered this monitor to replace an older Spectre one that was starting to get lines at the bottom. When I ordered it the first time I plugged it in and it looked great. Played some games and had fun with it. My PC fell asleep while I was afk and when I came back to wake it up, boom, the dreaded lines and a dead pixel popped up. This was the SAME DAY I had just gotten it. So I changed the DP cable to see if it was that and nope, it was in fact the monitor. I ordered a replacement and it arrived the next day. Im currently using this new replacement monitor and when I took it out of the box I had a few more issues. I ordered a new DP cable just in case and swapped it out beforehand. When I loaded up a game it started showing a bit of back flashing so I researched and finally saw it could be the NIVIDIA G-Sync. Turned that off and boom no more back flickering. Also would recommend turning down the sharpness as it can make some text look a bit pixeled. All in all its a great monitor for the price and looks awesome for games. If youre using it for 144hz make sure to have a Display Port cable or it will not get the max framerate. Also if you have some back flickering try turning off your NIVIDIA G-Sync. If youre willing to deal with a bit of issues its worth buying.

    Ultimately decided to return this monitor as I found a dead pixel after few weeks of use. However this is a good monitor for a decent price. An issue I had with it was that it didnt properly size the picture with HDMI connection (it would stretch 16:9 to 21:9), it only worked with DP, I believe this to be a software / driver issue as my new ultrawide monitor has no issues with this functionality.

    It’s being good to work in different screens. Hard to do programing because the 1440 is not sharp enough. For gaming is pretty good(I could only get 100fps). Is being difficult to adjust everything to work in different games and systems but when you get it to work it is worthy.

    Im moving up to this display from a 24 1080P Dell I purchased in 2007 as a secondary display. My current primary is a 4K 60Hz 42 TV. The S3222HG is very nice. The curved screen is more marketing but STILL offers slight enhancement advantage as long as your head is at the focus of the curve. As a secondary display AND my PC on the left side of the 42 and the Dell being on the right side, the 6 foot cord is inadequate. I need at LEAST 10 more. Ill need to get a 10 foot to get the cord off my desk. One other small nitpick is the stand is so-so. My old 24 Dell stand is excellent. It has a more stable footprint and it is able to swivel and raise and lower. The S3222HG stand can not swivel. I plan on 3D printing an adapter piece so I can use the old stand. Otherwise I am happy with the display for the price. Paying the little extra for 165Hz, mostly for infrequent gaming, is a nice enhancement.

    I bought this to use for gaming as I recently updated my graphics card and wanted to game at 1440p and use the higher refresh rate of this unit. I wish it had HDR support but for the money that I paid, can not complain. Would recommend this monitor if you are upgrading from a 24 60Hz 1080p monitor like myself.

    bought this as my gaming laptop had spoiled me with 144hz quality and i have to say i have no been disappointed as the screen is super clear and snappy in games that support that refresh rate. the stand is super strong and even survived my folding table of a desk collapsing with no cracks to the screen works well and built well.
