Greater than one weekFor starters I have been using different monitors and setups for a very long time. I bought this monitor on black Friday since it was on sale and was trying to pick up a new monitor to replace my old display. When it came I was severely disappointed. At first the screen looked so blurry and horrible I was trying to figure out if I accidently was using my old CRV T.V and had switched to the wrong channel. I mean seriously it looks like someone gave a kid a slice of pizza and told him to wipe it all over the screen. I spent 5 minutes trying to get the screen protector off because I thought that might be causing some blurriness. Turns out there isnt even a screen protector in the first place, which is not standard and a bit suspicious seeing as the last 3 or 4 monitors Ive bought, even ones that I got 5-6 years ago all come with a screen protector no matter how cheap or expensive. They tell you to troubleshoot your settings, as if you even have an option other than turn brightness or contrast up and down. It seriously is disgusting how little effort companies will put into their products to straight up rob consumers who dont know what they are buying. I thought this would be a good pickup on sale, boy was I wrong. Not only would I never buy this again even if it was 50% off, I will go back to church for the first time in 15 years so I can say a prayer or two for the poor people who bought this at full price. Seriously, this monitor is a joke Im sure you can find one twice as good at Costco for half the price. If I could give negative star reviews I would. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayDownload drivers from Dell after plugging in. First one I got the screen went wonky after a few hours called tech support and nothing fixed it. Amazon sent out a new one and it works great. Haven’t used it for gaming yet but plan to.Easy to setup.Purchased a DisplayPort cable to use as this only comes with HDMI.

> 3 dayI got this for my PS5 and I love it. It supports 120hz on the games that support it. No this monitor does not support 4K, but that’s fine because not many games will support 120hz AND 4K on the PS5.

> 3 dayNice monitor, but from the photos I thought the screen was curved but it isn’t. Still satisfied with my purchase.

> 3 day**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

> 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 dayThis 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.

Always bored
Greater than one weekI 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.
