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

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.

This monitor overall is amazing. My monitor did not show up with any issues, no dead pixels and was not dead on arrival. The monitor makes all games very smooth and the picture quality is amazing. If you are considering buying the monitor I would buy it. Pros: Good picture quality 144HZ Height Adjustable and forward and back tilt Great price for the performance Comes with needed cable to run 144hz Multiple ports Cons: Only the base of the monitor stand is metal, though still sturdy May need to adjust the colors No pivot, though you cant get everything for the price Overall 10/10

They 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.

This monitor is capable of 120hz on PS5 while playing Destiny 2. The monitor will say 60hz until you play a game that makes the PS5 rise to 120fps which will automatically raise the monitor to 120hz. If youre not paying a game greater than 60fps the ps5 will keep the fps at 120. My main game is Apex Legends. The 1ms response time on Extreme doesnt cause any ghosting as far as I can see and aiming feels great. I also use this monitor for financial work on my laptop. A new spreadsheet displays column A - AC without scrolling. Settings had to be turned down a lot to rid of any fuzzyness, but the screen stores settings based on each HDMI port. The two HDMI ports is the most underrated feature. I can keep my work laptop connected w/o disconnecting my PS5. Lowering the brightness(25%) and raising the contrast(85%%) was the main adjustment I had to make for laptop use. Theres little to no motion blur on the cursor as opposed to my laptop screen. The 120 hz doesnt seem to make a difference while working in excel & pdfs.

I expected reasonably good picture quality but it turned out mediocre at best. I used to develop LCD display several years ago so I am versed in what to look for. From what I see, I guess LCD panel doesnt do a good job to prevent so called light leakage to improve contrast. Viewing angle is clearly narrow. If you move your head around a bit, you will experience brightness reduction as well as contrast. More than that, when you see four corner of display, you will see somewhat gray background, picture quality degradation. Color gamut is clearly worse. Spec says 72%. No wonder skin tone is terrible. Lower than $200, it is ok buy but I wouldnt recommend to anyone expecting a gaming monitor.

This is an amazing monitor! It’s my first one personally but for the price I got it for it’s great and it seems better than others I’ve seen my friends use. It’s bright and there isn’t any light bleed so far and the base can even adjust. If you want a really in depth look go watch a video because this thing is awesome!

144hz crazy for warzone, brightness is CRAZY bright but you can change it, customization is next level, you can customize every aspect physical or in the monitor settings.

A few things to note for those interested in buying this monitor. - The default colors look awful and will disappoint you at first. But dont fear, a few setting tweaks and it will look fantastic! - Ghosting issues come when trying to use the Extreme Response time setting while connected to HDMI. Use a Display Port to use this monitor to its full potential - Make sure you pay attention when setting the resolution with NVIDIA Control Panel. If you pick Ultra HD 1080p, 1920x1080 (native) setting you will only see a 120hz max refresh rate. You need to make sure you choose PC, 1920x1080 to unlock 144hz

I give it a 4 because the monitor came only with an HDMI cable that didnt run the 144 hz, I had to buy a separate display port for 10 dollars to be able to get the full 144hz, colors may be a little bit opaque but you could play around with the colors yourself.

I bought a BenQ XL2411P for Christmas here on Amazon, it arrived in two days, needless to say I couldnt wait until Dec 25th so I opened it and tried it out. I honestly dont understand the hype. The Ghosting was so bad (that is an understatement) I tried to find a solution online and all I can read on the forums were to turn on blurr correction, configure it etc. I spent an entire day trying to fix the ghosting issue. I gave up and sent it back. After looking for monitors an entire day I had two more on the list this DELL S2421HGF and a ViewSonic Gaming monitor that was twice the price. Well being that this one was $199 I went ahead and clicked on buy. The monitor arrived 2 days later. The colors are not as great as a VA or an IPS, but I am so impressed at the almost no visible Ghosting this monitor is capable of. I am never going with another cheap brand ever again. Dont buy into the hype. Honestly Im starting to wonder if those reviews are real since I cant comprehend how someone could settle for such bad ghosting. Purchase the true and tried brands that have succeeded here in the U.S (Dell, ViewSonic, Samsung, LG etc.) You will not be disappointed with this monitor if youre on a budget. This Dell S2421HGF beats my old Viotek 1440p 144hz VA display, it destroys the overhyped BenQ XL2411P that has so bad Ghosting that it feels like every game is on Nitrous from Need for Speed. If you want smooth gameplay this is it.
