There is a lag and its hanging. Won’t recommend this product.

Monitor flickering out. Just purchased a little over a month ago.

The Dell S72721NX 27" is a nice monitor, but it is advertised for gaming, but it is very similar to the average 27" monitor. The main thing that differentiates it from a normal monitor is the AMD FreeSync technology. But you can only use this if you have an AMD graphics card. It does have a nice UI, allowing you to change brightness and other features. It also has nice colors and good image clarity. Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice monitor, but it is advertised for gaming, and being at only 75hz which is only slightly above the average monitor, and it has an 8ms response time, which is much higher than the usual 1ms. Other than that, if you want a nice monitor at a good price I would recommend the S72721NX 27" monitor.

cannot use it with my Mac its useless no good for me

This 27" gaming monitor from Dell is a pretty good starter gaming pc option, but leaves a lot to be desired for the gaming enthusiasts. The size and overall design with the thin bezels is nice. The monitor can tilt forward and back for better viewing angles. It features two hdmi ports and a headphone jack which is nice for someone who wants it to use for a console as well as a pc. The 75 hz refresh rate and 4 ms response time is good, but it would be nice to see 120 or 144 hz with 1 ms timing. The IPS display has great viewing angles and is bright and vibrant, with good contrast. Overall this is a pretty good monitor to get you started.

This Dell monitor is an excellent all-around value. It has vibrant colors and works well as an office monitor or an entry-level gaming monitor. Its resolution is limited to 1920x1080, which for me is low for a 27" monitor. Still, text and images are sharp and eye strain is low. The thin bezel is excellent and provides an immersive experience. I have this monitor hooked up to an HP Omen gaming computer next to Dell's one-step-up gaming monitor. Flight Simulator 2020 looks great on both, with the higher-level gaming monitor looking better overall. Still, this monitor is no slouch. Responsiveness is very good and Flight Sim looks fantastic. Overall, this is a good buy. If you have some extra cash you could upgrade to a Dell 27" gaming monitor that has better resolution and refresh rate. But if you mainly need it for office work and light gaming, this is a great choice.

With the pandemic, I find myself working more at home so welcomed the opportunity to set up a more permanent area with a decent monitor. Yes, there's more work at home, but also a bit more opportunity to play. So, I was glad to try out this 27" led monitor, in particular to try out the freesync features. The monitor is a typical Dell affair. Kinda corporate looking, not too flashly, but sleek and looks well designed and put together. It has a stand (which I used) but VESA mounting holes hidden behind a panel (maybe if I go back to the office and take this with me). Inputs are also pretty basic with two HDMI in and one two channel audio out (no speakers in the monitor itself). The big feature here is freesync because otherwise, this is as basic a monitor as it gets. As it turns out, I have a recent AMD graphics card, so we'll see how this performs when put to the test. Evaluating this, I mostly stuck to watching online video and gaming. I did a bit of work (code editing in visual studio, some photo review, web browsing) and the monitor handled that well. It was as clear as I expected from a 1080p monitor and I didn't notice any brightness issues or weird behavior when dragging from my laptop screen to the monitor screen. The 27" wide view was good for working at a normal desktop distance. For normal tasks, I think I would have preferred a wide screen (with more pixels horizontally) but this was decent enough to work with my laptop mounted such that its screen and the Dell were side by side. Streaming videos from my two fave sites, I really didn't notice much between the laptop screen (1080p as well) and the Dell other than brightness and contrast. The standalone monitor was a bit better which in some cases made things look sharper or clearer, even though I know the screen resolutions are identical and I could freeze and drag between the screens so I knew I was looking at the same identical image. Where it came to gaming however, I was expecting to see a bigger difference, which I did not. The freesync feature should let the graphics card take advantage of the higher potential refresh rate (75Hz vs 60Hz) of the S2721NX to aid rendering. And while in these tests, I could not freeze frame to compare (because there, the refresh rate needed is 0Hz), I needed to rely more on subjective comparison - I did not feel the Dell monitor did any better than the laptop screen, other than in the ways already mentioned. Game test modes and running benchmark apps using either screen gave more or less the same results with no real bias towards either display. I think perhaps if I were comparing 4k monitors with a higher available freesync refresh rate, there would be something to see, but I honestly could not find a difference between what my machine could achieve visually using this freesync enabled monitor and one without. So, while this is certainly a good basic buy - a monitor to setup for a semi-permanent work from home office and to do a bit of light gaming and streaming, it's just that. An ok upgrade from staring at a 15" display on a workstation laptop, but maybe not worth pairing to a dedicated gaming laptop.

Unexpectedly good picture for a 1080p 27" monitor. I typically dislike 1080p monitors at this size as you can often see the individual pixels. However this effect is not near as noticeable on this panel. The display has a matte finish that helps prevent glare while still keeping decent color saturation. I also like the button layout, the buttons are easy to find and navigate through the OSD menu. I have had a good experience with this monitor thus far. My only complaint is how Dell monitors (still) go into sleep mode. The sleep mode still annoys me, when I turn my pc off the monitor should sleep within a few seconds (like any other monitor I've used). There shouldn't be a 4 minute delay to this. Had no trouble handling GTA5 or COD:Warzone. Also good with MS Flight Simulator 2020.

Dell is a quality brand, and this is a nice monitor to help you be productive for both work and with multimedia projects at home. It's a very good deal when it's on sale.

I recently bought 2 of these monitors, in the 1080P category, and the best I've ever seen. Excellent

Nice monitor but NOT FOR GAMING! I bought it for gaming but it is a 4ms response time which is terrible for fps. 60fps and 4mrs.

When it is not flashing it’s a beautiful monitor. But it does not work well when you need to use a dual monitor system. Dell support was 100% absolutely useless
