wonderful monitor. sleek design makes it easy to put anywhere. easy set up. got for 99 dollars on sale

I ordered this monitor for Christmas for my husband. I ordered it Dec 20 got it Dec 23. 10/10 on the delivery !! The monitor is very clear and so far we have not experienced any lag with it. Husband loves how he cal also adjust the hight of the monitor. The only thing he got frustrated with was the power button was so small he didn’t even feel it. It in the bottom corner of the monitor but other than that 10/10 on quality!

Was difficult transporting from the store but otherwise good.

Monitors good, but nothing special definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to get it but if it’s on a good sale, sure.

fantastic monitor great performance great quality .

Awesome Monitor, great Resolution, good price! Highly Recommend!

Absolutely HORRIBLE. Bought my monitor for a Best Buy Outlet. Box said issues were "Minor Scratches/Marks, Residue". Turns out the speakers are broken! I had no idea. Was told the return period for my purchase was 2 DAYS! Ridiculous! I paid over $160 for a monitor that may be unable to be repaired, may have no brand warranty, and I can't return. A friend who used to work at Best Buy told that they're all like that and that the employees don't actually test the products they sell, just visually inspect them. I have to call the Dell/MSI and see if there is any hope for me. I can't even resell it. Who would want to buy a monitor with broken speakers? I regret my purchase and will never go to a Best Buy Outlet again! Be warned!

It’s a plug-n-play setup, no kidding. I carry two laptops daily, which are fine for quick work. But, my 62 year old eyes really appreciate this light-weight and color-sharp monitor when it’s time for the real project work.

Excellent value very responsive. Great for gaming.

Absolutely love love love these monitors! Awesome graphics, great display and super simple to set up. Literally took under five mins to set up. 10/10 would recommend.

this monitor that perform very well! I think for the price it offer $200 it offers a curve 165hz monitor that looks good and if you’re in the market for 24” monitor I believe that you’ll be satisfied with Dell S2422HG Pros - the monitor offer an smooth 165hz refresh rate as long as your computer could handle all the frames, does is delivery? yeah for sure. having 144hz monitor and jumping to 165hz I didn’t think I would notice anything different, but for my personal experience it’s noticeable. - I like how the design is simple doesn’t gives you any fancy edges or red trim to say it’s a gaming monitor. the looks is simple but it feels premium. - the monitor offers 2 HDMI in at the back, one Display port and port for your headphones. if you are looking for a new monitor for your latest next gen console, this console will also deliver 120hz for you to use - attaching the stand and the legs are very simple, at the back the monitor have a button to easily remove the leg and at the bottom you can unscrew to remove the bottom stand - the monitor is 1080p VA panel so the picture quality is vibrant enough compare to any TN panel. i’ve search for any dead pixels and was impressed with the perfect clarity while playing games. also think a 24” monitor is perfect for 1080p settings, Warzone looks smooth even tho it’s only in 1080p. - i’ve seen monitor that’s a bit more expensive than this Dell monitor but only 144hz, don’t get me wrong that’s great and all but i’d still pick 165hz instead, plus it’s only $200 - on the setting of the monitor you’ll find your brightness / contrast settings and Game settings Cons - being curve monitor this can either be a good thing to some or a bad thing, I currently have 27” curve monitor, but a 24” curve monitor doesn’t feel like it needs it, being that small for me just doesn’t add the immersion that you would expect for having a curve display. but one thing I know a 24” curve would work for kids, but as an adult 24” curve wasn’t doing it for me, it feels unnecessary on my end. - I hated monitor when I can’t turn the screen left or right, but instead I have to turn the whole body just to seat right on my setup. but no no dell. as a gamer who enjoy playing games on monitor, I would still highly recommend this one, for the price and what it offers I believe you’ll still get your money’s worth, great job on dell for keeping this monitor simplistic. 2 negative things for me but like I said, buy this monitor I think you will love it.

I love this monitor! It does everything I need it to and the picture is great! It does tilt and you can move the monitor up or down to the correct height you need.

Exactly what I needed to enhance my productivity working from home.

Good monitors for the $ value. It works really well.

Best monitor ever. Will definitely recommend to get it

Great monitor for the price but dead pixel after 1 week of use

Getting a monitor that gives you a great FHD panel with a high refresh rate for a reasonable amount of money has just gotten easier. This Dell monitor once I got it fully set up really amazed me. The overall display quality, build, stand flexibility and ease of set up makes this monitor a real winner. Naturally one of Dell’s larger curved monitors will give you a more immersive feel but if you don’t have the space or the money this is a great alternative. Features: The display is VA panel which supports FHD 1920 x 1080 with a refresh rate up to 165hz. It has up to a 178 degree viewing angle and a 3000:1 contrast ratio for deep blacks. The response times are 1ms in MPRT mode, 4ms Gray to Gray (GtG) in Super Fast mode and 8ms GtG in Fast mode. There are two HDMI ports, a Display Port and a Headphone/audio out jack. The monitor has the typical Dell stand which gives you total control over the display height and angle. I think this is more important with a curved screen than a flat screen. To get the full immersive feel you need to have the monitor at eye level so that your eyes are aligned with the middle of the screen. Since this is a 24” monitor I set mine up so that I was sitting about 1.2 ft away for playing games, that is the minimum recommended distance for a 16 x 9, 24” FHD display. When doing anything else I would move back to about 24 inches from the screen. If you sit close your games are going to become far more intensive. The display has a very thin side bezel so all the control buttons are on the right rear of the panel. There is one main joy stick menu button and four function buttons. These are the buttons you need to access the set-up menu but more importantly you use them for selecting input source, short cuts and game presets. So when choosing where to put the monitor its important to make sure you can get your hand around the right side of the display. The other option is load Dell’s Display Manager (DDM) app for windows and control everything via the app. Setup: After I put the monitor together on its stand and cabled it I went through the basic set up items. My gaming laptop can do up to 144 hz at FHD so I configured Windows for 1080 at 144hz and set the monitor’s response time settings to MPRT – note that MPRT only works with 144hz and 165hz refresh rates. Next I checked out the monitors performance using the Eizo monitor test and TestUFO. The panel was perfect with no pixel issues and the colors and gray scales were uniform across the panel. Playing with the TestUFO I was able to see how much the 144 hz refresh improved over a standard 60hz rate. I repeated this same process with my desktop which support FHD 1080 at the 165hz refresh rate. Again the monitor looked and performed great. There are five preset game settings and 3 customizable presets as well. The preconfigured presets are Standard, FSP First-Person Shooter, MOBA Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, RPG Role-Playing Games and Sports. These are definitely something you are going to want to play around with and if you don’t like them you can create up to three more presets to meet your taste. Bottom Line: What I really like about this monitor is that the colors are vivid and blacks are reasonably black. Some of my games seemed to run better under MPRT and others seemed to look better using the Super Fast response time. I’m not sure how much of this was personal preference vs measurable performance but I played with the settings until I found what I liked. I would recommend making sure your game’s refresh rate is set correctly because I found several of mine defaulted to 60 fps and I had to manually change it. I also found that because it’s a curved monitor the in-game camera angles can change the immersive feel. Viewing the game from inside the car was much more immersive than having the camera show a bird’s eye view from behind. You need to try the various options because what worked on a flat screen may not give you the maximum benefit of this curved monitor. Lastly because this is a VA monitor its good for general use as well. Getting used to the curved screen while doing spreadsheets and documents does take a little getting used to but once you do it becomes a non-issue.

Sharp vibrant colors, super fast refresh and good anti-reflection are things that you want in a good gaming monitor. The 165hz is super smooth, but really hard to notice much of a difference over 144hz. This monitor is simply pull out of the box ready with a click of the stand and attaching the included wires. However, to take full advantage of it you have to get the drivers from the Dell support site. Otherwise, Windows only sees it as a generic PnP monitor. The curve is subtle and would look nice paired with a second monitor, but there is a ¼ inch black bar on the edges, even though the physical bezel is extremely thin. There is even an option in the menu to align multiple monitors. Speaking of the menu, the only “gaming” settings this has is giving names to various presets for the response time, gain, offset, hue, saturation and dark stabilizer. You can enable a timer or a frame rate overlay, but that is just numbers in the top corner that just countdown from one of the selectable times or the hz you have the monitor set for in Windows. Other gaming monitors usually at least offer a reticle overlay of some sort. The inputs are basic with two HDMI and a Display Port as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. Though the front of the monitor makes it look small and thin, the back reminds me a lot of older monitors with a large bulky plastic. This is claimed to help airflow, but just looks old in design. I personally feel 24” and 1080 is small for typical gaming, but it is all dependent on the space you have and the resolution you are looking for. This isn’t a bad monitor and has a higher refresh than most budget monitors. I’m basically saying that just because it has gaming in the name doesn’t mean it is something that all gamers are looking for. On the positive side though, Dell stands behind their products with 3 year service and a one panel exchange even for one bad pixel.

Key Features 165Hz Refresh Rate 1920 x 1080 Full HD Resolution AMD FreeSync Compatible 2 HDMI 2.0 Inputs 1 Full-Size DisplayPort 1.2 Input 1ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) SET-UP The monitor comes well packaged and protected. Anyone with a Dell monitor will instantly recognize the steps necessary to get it attached to the stand and set-up for use. This is the same mounting solution Dell has used for years (even my 2012 model Dell UltraSharps use the same mounting system). If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Dell even made the assembly a tool-free, issue-free affair. Excellent! As notated above the monitor includes what I would consider the basic assortment of available connections. But, it should be just enough to satisfy a vast majority of consumers. There are 3 input connections, 2 HDMI 2.0 inputs, and 1 full-size DisplayPort 1.2 input. Note, there are no analog video inputs. Next to those inputs, is the monitor’s sole output, a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is not a lot of extras built-in, but at this price point, the selections are sufficient, and I think does the job at covering the bases for what the average consumer would need in a quality 1080p monitor. There are 4 buttons, and a joystick multi-selector on the back of the monitor to adjust the settings and parameters of the monitor. I found the buttons a little clunky and somewhat hard to decipher when initially setting it up. It became more familiar after a few adjustments, but still clunky to me. Thankfully, Dell has developed its excellent: Dell Display Manager Application. A small download allows the user to control and adjust the functions of the monitor with simple clicks of the mouse. The program enables a 2-way communication with the monitor, and it works great!!! You no longer must reach behind the monitor and guess at which button does what. It is a well-executed and implemented program. Dell should be commended on its functionality. USE I was all set to hate on this monitor after getting it connected and turned on for the first time. I am an IPS panel snob and when the screen turned on and I could see the hot spots from the edge lit LED’s I had made my mind up that this was going to be an average monitor at best. I was right. The monitor was OK, it had decent color and imaging. I used it for a few hours and it served its purpose well enough. Text was clear. I was able to write up a couple of long overdue Word documents. Web browsing was equally fair. The monitor had a decent picture and didn’t do anything necessarily wrong, but I wasn’t wow’d in any way. So, I decided to hook up my colorimeter and do a calibration now that the new monitor had several hours of break in. My initial indifference was immediately removed after calibration. The monitor looked vibrant, and colors were much more accurate. The shortcomings and my lack of enthusiasm were gone. The monitor really did have a great image in it after all. I posted pictures of the results of the calibration. This monitor returned a near perfect image and an almost equally perfect D65 color. WOW!!!! This is something that my expensive UltraSharps aren’t able to achieve, nor can my HP Omen gaming monitor. This is one of the most accurate monitors I’ve used to date. NEGATIVES There are only two potential negatives that I can think of: 1. The monitor is only compatible with AMD FreeSync. So, owners of gaming rigs containing nVidia graphics cards will not be able to take advantage of the screen matching refresh rate that nVidia uses (GSync). 2. I’m not sure that a 24” monitor is really wide enough to need to be curved. I will admit that it could just be that I am not totally comfortable with the curved monitor yet, but I just don’t know if there is any really real benefit of the curve at this screen size. Both my Dell UltraSharps are 24” and neither one is curved and I don’t see a need. CONCLUSIONS I am incredibly pleased with the performance of this monitor. It has an accurate color reproduction, that covers 99% of the available sRGB color spectrum and a near instantaneous response time, rivaling even the best IPS panels. Text in spreadsheets and documents are clear and images are authentic and natural looking. Games played smoothly with no perceivable lag or stuttering. Even fast paced games like Call of Duty and Forza played cleanly and smoothly with no perceivable lag or tearing. While I was fully prepared to give this monitor a mediocre rating after first turning it on, it has completely won me over. I give this a full 5 star rating for its crisp, clear text and extremely accurate color reproduction that rivals or exceeds much more expensive IPS monitors.

I bought a second one for my girl after I realized how smooth this baby was compared to our TVs. Cheap price but high quality. Definitely a must buy for anyone who has been gaming on a standard TV and wants to switch to a monitor for casual gaming. Easy on the eyes and glare free. I hated seeing the reflection of my window on my TV screen. I don't have that problem anymore with this monitor. Not sure what the screen is made of, I'm no tech wizard but you could have someone shine a flashlight behind you and wouldn't even notice. Only downside is I don't know how to remove the little white symbol in the top left corner that indicates what hz I'm running.
