Always bored
> 3 dayI have been using this one for about 2 months now and I cant complain. I get a solid 60fps on most of my games & 120fps on the games that support it and its very smooth all around. Freesync is great. The ComfortView preset is great for reducing eye-strain. The colors are okay, but Im definitely no expert on that aspect. The one thing I wish it had was some sort of small speaker system or something so I could hear games without having to put my headset on, but its a minor gripe considering the price point. Overall, its a very solid budget monitor if you are looking for one for your Series S like I was.

> 3 dayThey sorta lied about the 144hz but thats fine because it was still good no dead pixels or anything but there some ghosting so I would be careful but it generates my console gameplay pretty well and no serious issues so far.

> 3 dayDelivery wasnt supposed to take place till April 21st, it got here March 25th. This is quite an early shipment. With that being said Im extremely satisfied, everything came with the monitor, in perfect condition. Amazing picture, anti-glare works very well. I have big windows in my room and this blows my other monitor out of the water.

> 3 daytl;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.

> 3 dayI have 2 of the 24” versions of these monitors, and I’ve been using them for about 2.5 years now and they’re great. I actually just came back to the page for it to get mounting details because I’m about to mount them on the wall for the first time. 2.5 years later and they’re still my main monitors and still work great like the day I got them.

Greater than one weekI have been gaming on this monitor for about a week, usually FPS games, and it has performed very nicely. This was my first upgrade from 60hz to 144hz (143.85hz) and its lightyears better. This monitor is sturdy and the small bezels give it a very sleek design. The only issue Ive noticed so far is that the brightness/picture quality fades a bit when viewing at sharp angles other than straight on. This isnt an issue for me though as my desk allows me to sit directly in front of the monitor. Ive read that other buyers have received models with dead pixels or other physical defects, but I have none so far. This is a GREAT monitor for the price and I highly recommend if you are looking for a budget 144hz monitor.

> 3 dayI love this product. It is highly adjustable, and fits the bill for most any PC. Just make sure you are actually running 144hz, in windows settings. Other than that I have little to no complaints. Definitely one of my better choices to buy this.

> 3 dayThe 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.
