Dell 240Hz Gaming Monitor 24.5 Inch Full HD Monitor with IPS Technology, Antiglare Screen, Dark Metallic Grey - S2522HG

Great display but DP cable that came with display caused screen to turn black intermittently. Doesnt appear to be properly shielded.

The color is great and everything looks good. I saw negative reviews on the stabilization on the desk but I havent found any wobbly issues whatsoever.

Up front, Im not a gamer. I bought this to use for work from home, and for recording (Reaper). It was to replace a pair of 27 Acer CB2s (IPS). The extra horizontal pixel real estate is great, as is the curve, which is really easy to get used to. The extra width makes displaying two windows side by side really intuitive and really cuts down on needing to resize or scroll either horizontally. Im totally sold on this size, resolution and the curve. It took me about 5 minutes to realize theres no going back - though this particular monitor went back, more on that in a minute. While I love the size and format, this monitor was initially a bit of a let down for my intended use. The VA panel is much more washed out and inconsistent off axis, and its quite noticeable next to an IPS panel. Note- understanding this is the nature of the panel technology, and that curved IPS monitors are currently offered at a much higher price point, Im not deducting stars for this. I just feel its important to point out for anyone else considering replacing an existing IPS 16:9 monitor with this. If youre not going to use it SxS with an IPS monitor, this might not be as big of an issue for you. It gets plenty bright and the contrast and sharpness are good enough for office use. The first thing that did cost a star was VESA mounting. If you intend to mount it a VESA mount, the depth of the mounting plate makes this exceptionally difficult. Its recessed deeper than any monitor Ive ever seen. It appears this is purely for aesthetic reasons to make the stock stand integrate into the weird super deep ribbed design of the back of the monitor. The mounts I have are made by Humanscale with a quick release plate which wont work with this deep mounting design. I had to attach the whole arm with the plate attached, then fit it to the post/clamp assembly. Mind you this is a big heavy monitor, so its quite difficult to do. If the arms of my monitor didnt separate from the desk clamp easily, this would have been a two-person job. Another star was lost with the menu and controls. The multiple buttons and joy stick thingy on the back right edge just plain suck. While you can assign functions to the individual buttons, I could never seem to hit the right one for it to be useful at all. Its just a bunch of buttons on the back of the monitor that I cant see. One or two buttons and a joystick might work, but any more than three is madness. I would nearly always hit the wrong button causing it to switch to an input other than what I wanted or on which there was no signal- which means you have to wait for it to register this before you can correct your mistake, which is just exasperating. Also the the edge location of the controls means that if you have a multi monitor setup, you cant get to the controls that abut another monitor on that edge without swiveling one of the monitors- and note that the supplied stand doesnt swivel. Many LG monitors have a single joy stick control on the bottom center of the monitor which is way more useful for multi-monitor setup. The remaining stars were lost due was an annoying issue with the supplied HDMI cable (: It kept blanking periodically for 5-10 seconds. I tried several quality certified cables and still experienced the issue- with both an HP Elitebook and a Lenovo T470 (both in docking stations). I also had issues with the Display Port too: Coming out of hibernate, I had to power cycle the monitor and mess with Display Properties in Windows 10 to get it to work - EVERY time. The final straw which caused me to pack it up and return it was a 3/8 streak of bad / burned pixels in the center of the screen. I ended up sending it back and bought a pair of 35 LG 35WN65C-Bs, which Im much happier with. Theyre also VA panels, but the colors seem a little less muted, and the off-axis presentation is a little more even. The mounting point is much shallower and works with my mounts, the picture is warmer, and the inputs are much easier to access; For the life of me, I dont understand why monitor manufacturers think its good product design to hide the inputs upside-down where theyre completely invisible with the monitor in normal upright orientation, and only providing tiny embossed black on black labels which you simply cannot read without a bright flashlight. The LGs are straight in on the back, about half way up, where you can see the orientation and location of the port (even if the labels are still nearly invisible). The external DC power brick also means a lighter monitor on the arm and easier, cleaner cable routing from the monitor to the back of the desk.

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.

Arrived late. Missing power cord. Otherwise a nice monitor.

Great monitor for the price, does everything you need out of a gaming monitor. I use it connected to my PS5 at 1440p@120hrz with no issues for simracing and it works great. If you are comparing it to the LG Ultragrear equivalent, go with this, it’s much brighter and pretty much has the same specs otherwise.

I had a 32 monitor which after three years went south. I wont name the manufacturer because the monitor was very good and I enjoyed the sharp text, etc., and I chalked most of the going south to our power grid. I retrieved my 27 ooolder (not a misspelling) monitor and used that monitor for 5-6 months. I finally decided that my old eyes deserved something better so I started looking for monitors From previous research I know that by and large Dell monitors are very good. I settled on this monitor and am not sorry at all. The text is very very sharp, photos (that Ive worked on - graphic designer) are very true to the original and in a couple of cases better and thats without any calibration. Im not a gamer and this monitor is probably wasted on me but . . . . . . I did give it 5 stars for gaming and as stated, Im not a gamer so take that into consideration. I kind of wanted a curved monitor (reason totally unknown except I thought they looked cool) and am not disappointed. I have to admit I think the curved monitor is a little over rated but then again Im using it 95% for graphic design work. Recommend? Yes.

The overall design is elegant No issues

Works well but hdr settings are odd. Good picture quality if you use better cables than dell provides. Had issues with the low quality dp and hdmi cables dell provided. Buy some Zeskit cables and you’re good to go.
