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

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.

Everything about this monitor is great, except that it was not ever G-sync compatible and instead only Free Sync. The quality is good and the framerate from 60hz to 144hz is significant. The brightness and color needed adjusting.

I recently built a new gaming PC and wanted a 144hz monitor to replace my (now secondary) 60hz BenQ. After looking at the competition, I found this to be the best option on price alone. One caveat is that I thought this was an IPS monitor when I bought it. It is not, but you wont even notice! Theres a startling lack of glare, and it looks well at most viewing angles. The biggest difference between this and my BenQ, is that after calibration the colors are beautifully rich. I suspect that is also why the monitor tends to be a little darker, as the gamma and brightness lacks.

This monitor performs exactly as I intended it to. If you need a sharp image, good refresh rate, g-synch, with a brand you can trust, this is it. I had no problems unpacking it, setting up the stand that came with the monitor, or using the controls on this monitor. Everything about it was simple and easy to use. For me, a feature I ended up really liking but didnt anticipate was the automatic screen switch. It recognizes if my laptop or xbox is on and automatically switches. It is smart enough though, to not switch back and forth when both are on. This monitor is good value, performs as expected, and was easy to set up. 5/5

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

First monitor was bad, replacement is fine. Both units I received make electronic noise while turned on so they used some Very cheap internal parts in this unit. Picture is better on colors than other TN monitors I have used in the past. One thing that stands out about this monitor is the all black design is much better than 99% of other ugly designs of monitors, this look is much appreciated. At $170 being cheaper than most of its competitors it was a fair purchase. However if you can find a better price and you like the specs/design I would say go for that instead nothing too special about this monitor. One major reason I bought this monitor is for a TN panel because 144hz with less motion blur and faster response than other panel types. Also its appreciated that this monitor uses a flat panel and Not curved. Important thing to note is Dell is a jerk and does NOT include a DisplayPort cable, So if you want 144hz and Free/Gsync youll need to spend an extra $10 making real Total price about $195. About 4 years ago I had 144hz monitor for $150 that came with DisplayPort cable, so as with most things price is inflated during Covid times. If your tight on a budget MonoPrice.com I see has an openbox 144hz monitor for $130 and regular price $150 for that monitor. I hope my review was helpful!

Overall this Dell Gaming monitor is a gem for gamers on a budget. I have my Xbox One S connected via hdmi. I am able to get 1080p on 120hz. Graphics are real crisp once you adjust the picture settings under custom. The other presets are horrible. I have my response time on super fast which equals 2ms response. Very crisp with no ghosting or blurred picture. I mostly play Warzone and Fortnite. If this monitor supported HDR it would be a game changer!

Great monitor and everything but the speakers just don’t work. I honestly don’t care to much because I was planing on buying desktop speakers anyways but I like stuff to work when I buy it...

This 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.

Blacks appear slight gray when powered up.... Can be adjusted by reducing factory brightness. Otherwise color is good, but not as quite good as an 8year old Plasma Display.
