Dell 24 S2421HGF Review
As a low-cost, small-size gaming panel, the S2421HGF receives its own Editors’ Choice award. The 144Hz display, which has AMD FreeSync Superior and Nvidia G-Sync Capable badges, provides an excellent gaming experience for the price. Its content production credentials are almost non-existent, but we found a number to like for the cash-strapped gaming set.
Design:
The S2421HGF includes two HDMI connectors and one DisplayPort port, thus it should work with the majority of video game consoles and PCs. The hexagonal display stand is simple to assemble and doesn’t require much space to work. Avoid attempting to use it as a vertical second screen because you cannot spin it; you can only slightly tilt it back and forwards.
Features:
The directional joystick located at the back of the Dell S2421HGF makes it simple to navigate the menu. A refresh rate sensor, on-screen timers, and different visual modes (FPS, RTS, MOBA/RTS, and three customizable Game profiles) are among the features. Dark Stabilizer, which increases vision in darker games, is another. In ComfortView screen mode, the monitor doesn’t blink and has a low-blue light blocker.
Screen:
The 24-inch 1080p screen of the Dell 24 Gaming Monitor S2421HGF is resolution. As far as gaming displays go, it is unattractive because they can only display 106.3% of the sRGB color wheel. The default preset has a flat appearance that makes colors look clean and blacks appear grey. Configure adjusting the illumination, and comparison, and he didn’t do anything but make the image look awkward.
Gaming Performance:
For FPS, MOBA/RTS, and RPG games, the Dell 24 Gaming Monitor S2421HGF includes built-in options. I put it to the test with Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, Age of Imperial II: Definitive Edition, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Doom Eternal. Doom Eternal lost all feeling of the atmosphere because it turned the luminance and crispness up very high.
Pros:
- superior performance in games
- bright imagery in television shows and films
- Low cost
- dependable, comfortable base
Cons:
- incorrect colors
- difficult interface
- faulty presets
Conclusion:
The Dell 24 S2421HGF dominates other low-cost 1080p monitors if playing and content viewing are your top priorities.
