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

Nice monitor, but from the photos I thought the screen was curved but it isn’t. Still satisfied with my purchase.

**Arrival** The monitor arrived to me in perfect condition. There was little to no distress on the box (small dents on the edge of the box) and the contents were not damaged whatsoever **Packaging** The packaging on the monitor was normal standard. The Monitor was laying on foam with the screen face down. **STANDS** The Monitor stand has a very unique design which looks amazing. The shape stands out but not too much. Although what i dont like is the monitor cannot turn clockwise whatsoever which means this monitor cannot stand vertical if you are using the stand dell provides. You are able to tilt and adjust the monitors height **Colors/Brightness/Picture Quality** Compared to the S2417DG the colors are very bright. This monitor is just as bright as the AW2521HF. I am amazed at the colors of this monitor, for the price listed, its the best colors ive ever seen for a monitor for this price. It almost looks like a IPS. **Control Panel** The control panel has many options Really like how you are able to adjust the brightness and and the response time. Overall: I the monitor is 100% the best monitor for this price. You have so much access to adjust your display to your liking ( way more than my 240hz Asus monitor ) The display is so good it looks close to a IPS Monitor! This will be great for PS5 and Xbox since its 144hz and the new gens are going to be 120hz. Do I recommend this monitor? YES 100% Any Flaws? Yes, you cannot rotate your monitor vertically Whatsoever, only tilt and adjust the height Is it worth its price? YES 100% This was not a paid review, i 100% payed for this monitor

The monitor is awesome and has been a huge upgrade from my previous main monitor. The issue I have is that there are two different monitors shown in the listing. I was under the assumption I was getting a curved monitor because the primary pictures on Amazon are of a curved monitor. The monitor I got isn’t curved but if you look it up on dells website you’ll see it’s not curved. Other than the misrepresentation of products on the listing I am extremely happy with this monitor.

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.

It’s got great picture and goes together very easily. A cool feature is that the monitor has its own analog stick to mess with settings easily and you can put on some game modes that for example will show you FPS along with some other stuff

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?

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 works great! My previous monitor was a zowie monitor so I dont know if its because Im used. to that monitor but this monitor seems a little off with its quality in comparison. That being said this monitor is amazing and works great, its just something that I noticed when I got it, and months later its still my mains monitor for gaming, I love it.

There is no speaker on this monitor even though there is an option for audio. :/

Has some good features like analyzing FPS. Meant for gaming more or less. The only thing I have a complaint about is speakers. In my audio settings it says it can play audio but doesnt actually play audio.
