Perfect mid-tier monitor!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far one of the best monitors for the money. I was able to get it on sale for around $275, but even at it’s regular price, it’s still a great monitor. The brightness is one of the things that stood out. I don’t use it in a very lit room but I did try it at it’s max brightness and had to turn it down immediately. As for the color, I was able to download a monitor profile for windows for this specific monitor to be calibrated correctly. Though it was accurate, I prefer my display to be more vivid. The main reason I got this was for gaming. I using a 34in 144hz ultrawide (also 1440p) but learned that it was a little too distracting for my taste. This replaced that and it works way better for the games I play. There are tons of customizable things in the menu and it is fairly easy to navigate.

1000% Happy with this Dell Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this monitor about 1.5 years ago when i was in dire need and I cannot be happier with this purchase. The monitor i was using (Spectre brand) died when i needed to design a website for my web design class. The Dell s2721dgf seemed like an excellent choice because i trust the brand and the specs are what i look for in a monitor, crisp and clean visuals with the highest resolution possible. To top it all off this Dell monitor has a refresh rate of 165Hz so took the plunge and spent my money on this monitor online for same day pickup in store. The Bestbuy is near my home so the experience was quick and easy. I unboxed the monitor immediately as i arrived at my apartment. And i was immediately impressed on the build quality of the monitor. The whole of it feels as premium as it looked online. the display barely has any bezel and the bit it does have, disappears behind the beautiful display. I was able to finish my assignment and later pass the class. i still use the monitor to design, play video games, watch 4k video, etc. And i recently fixed the hdmi port for my old monitor and now have a dual monitor set-up.

My first Gaming Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After getting an Xbox Series X, I decided to upgrade from the little 1080p tv I was using and ended up here. I have absolutely no complaints about this monitor. The stand/base is very solid and doesn't feel like moving it will break. The colors look great and frames are more than enough for the Series X. The blue hue on the back is a nice touch for gaming with the lights off, so as to not be completely in the dark. I also like the little hole on the neck for cable management. Setting it up was easy. I recommended it to my friend and he grabbed one as well. 10/10. (Side note: Before buying a monitor, you should know that IPS panels in general don't handle darker areas as well as VA panels. That's not something specific to this monitor, but to all IPS in general. Fast paced Multiplayer games you want an IPS, Single player slower games then try for a VA.)

Just about perfect.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been abusing these for sim racing more than a few years now. Several 24hr races and lot's of screen time. Zero dead pix/zero issues. My only gripe is screen color was not calibrated from the factory between screens (I am running triple screens). Not a big deal...but took a bit to get it right. 4.5 stars.

Best monitor ive ever purchased
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Anytime a new revision comes out for Dell's DGF line I try to pick it up. This is the 2021 model and it packs all the features you could hope for. I use this monitor to play both console games and pc games. It hits the sweet spot when it comes to size and refresh rate. For me, 27in 144hz is the gold standard. And since this monitor also supports G-Sync and FreeSync plus over clocking for 165hz refresh speeds you cannot go wrong. The picture quality is amazing, and it has great contrast and brightness no matter what your gaming environment looks like.

Best Moniter for your money.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been the best monitor since I got it, better than any other brand around its price point. The price can't be for its performance in gaming for both consoles and PCs.

Great monitor for price point
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 1st monitor that's greater than 1080p and 60hz. That improvement alone is worth it. Color is great, once you get it adjusted right. Took some time to adjust colors and no complaints now. Went with this monitor after doing research and found it to have the best reviews for the price range. After reading reviews i knew it was going to need color adjustment. (Right monitor in pic)

Q: QuestionWhat year was this released? S2721DGF is a series that has different models throughout the years, so I can't tell if this is the latest released model of this series.
Asked by Gamer.
- A:Answer Brand new for August 2020. I have had used a few Dell monitors, and the number seems to break down to two digits for the screen size, and two digits for the year released (but like cars, the 2021 model year is out in 2020). So this is a 27 inch screen that is part of the 2021 lineup (really, August 2020).

Q: QuestionWill this monitor be the best option for the xbox series x?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I will be using it for Xbox Series X. Unfortunately the "best" monitor for Series X would include all of the bells and whistles a high-end TV would include: -HDR, equivalent of DisplayHDR1000 or better (which requires local dimming) -120Hz refresh rate -4K resolution -HDMI 2.1 port -Dolby Vision -FreeSync Premium (I'm not sure if Xbox will or can use FreeSync Premium Pro) There is no monitor on the market as of November 2020 that checks all of those boxes. This monitor will enable 120Hz refresh rate and FreeSync on Series X, that's about the best you can hope for unless you are willing to pay ~$1000+ for better HDR or wait for monitors with HDMI 2.1 support so you can run 4K at 120Hz.

Q: QuestionI'm looking for a monitor that's capable of running high refresh rate (120-144), 1ms timing and higher resolution than 1080p (1440) through Hdmi. I've read this is hard to do through hdmi, is this monitor capable of doing this?
Asked by JK.
- A:Answer Yes, this monitor is the right choice and this display has a maximum preset resolution of 2560 x 1440 at 144 Hz via HDMI and 2560 x 1440 at 165 Hz via DP (Display Port).
