Reasonable price for a gaming monitor
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a curved monitor made for games. With the right video card, it can display up to 144 megahertz. I connected mine to GTX1080 via HDMI cable (included), but I also can connect the monitor using a Display Port cable. The set up is easy – but the power button was not that easy to find at first. Once the power is on, it is eliminated, and you can more or less see from the front. There are many settings that you can do – but the default settings will work for most people. I tried to adjust the volume all the way up to 100 percent, and I couldn't hear anything. So you know, there are no speakers built in to this monitor. You have to connect your analog headphone to the back of the monitor, so it can be used as such. I suppose speakers will work, as well. Took me a while to figure this out because the monitored income with any manual whatsoever. There was this piece of paper that showed “quick set up”, but that was all. Here is the address to the manual https://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_electronics_accessories/esuprt_electronics_accessories_monitors/dell-s2721hgf-monitor_User%27s-Guide_en-us.pdf And here is the address for the drivers (this is for Windows) https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=gvrdj https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=yc8vc and the Display Manager Usually a monitor this large is connected to a desktop, and I'm almost surprised that it didn't come with the CD with the drivers. I installed couple games – Bioshock II and Half Life 2. Both work perfectly well with no tearing at all. (I adjusted the setting accordingly for playing game.) There were no flickering, no dead spots, and the illumination (of a white screen) was very even. This would make a terrific television if connected to a Blu-ray player with the HDMI (but you will have to use a sound bar to hear anything.) There are two HDMI inputs, and they can be switched electronically with the control to the right side in the back of the monitor (that felt like a joystick.) I stood almost to the side of it and I still can't see the image clearly. I have never had a curved monitor/television before, and I thought the view would be narrow – but I was wrong. One of the settings display the frequency it is running on the left upper corner, and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off (until I changed the setting.) Summary: this is a very usable monitor for games, and for every day usage. The only con I could think of was that there were no speakers even the small ones, built-in, and the manual, which there wasn't one, did not even mention this. I felt like a fool when I was trying to set it up.

Posted .Hi Gabriel,
Thank you very much for your valued feedback. We are sorry to hear about the issue with your Dell 27” LED curved gaming monitor because its screen is distorted and lines appeared on half of the screen.
Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if any screen abnormality you experience is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your computer and video card.
To run the built-in diagnostics:
1. Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen).
2. Press and hold Button 4 for about 4 seconds until a pop-menu appears.
3. Use Button 1 or Button 2 to select the diagnostic tool and use Button 3 to confirm. A gray test pattern appears at the beginning of the diagnostic program.
4. Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
5. Press Button 1 again to change the test patterns.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to inspect the display in red, green, blue, black, white, and text screens.
7. Press Button 1 to end the diagnostic program.
If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool, the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer.

Great Monitor
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first curved monitor and honestly it has been wonderful, to start things off i had been using a tv for a monitor for a long time so when i first set it up i was so confused why the sound wasn’t working, i sat there for an hour updating my sound driver and rolling it back and adjusting the quality and trying to reset my computer multiple times well this monitor does not have speakers built into it, which i guess i should have known because it’s a monitor not a tv, I instantly regretted not purchasing a second one a week later because everything looks so good on it, the stand is suuper easy to put on and everything is ready out of the box, i think the coolest thing about it is that there is a joystick like control for the settings which also confused me, but is a really awesome space saving feature, when i browse amazon and other online shopping platforms everything moves so fast i have to pause for my eyes to catch up this monitor is fast fast, great for FPS games and honestly i feel like i’ve gotten even better at getting headshots in games because of the minimal latency and the fact that this monitor has awesome clarity, i’d say if you’re looking for. relatively cheap monitor that has that fancy curve everyone is going for these days then you e found the right out but that’s my opinion, try it out if you want who am i to tell you what to do
I would recommend this to a friend
