Review on πŸ–₯️ Dell S2417DG Monitor: Enhanced 24 Inch Display with 60Hz Response Rate by Michael Cummings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

All the technology you need in a great TN panel

This monitor has the best TN panel I've ever used, but it's marred by a pretty terrible color configuration. There's still some color shifts when looking at them from different angles, but when looking at them directly the color reproduction is fantastic (again after messing up some settings). I've tried many of the different configurations I found online and I'll share my favorite at the bottom of the review. The stand is probably the best I've seen, with height and tilt adjustments, screen rotation, and vertical stand rotation relative to the base. There's even a hole for cable management. In a world of 1440p smartphone displays, 1080p resolution on a computer monitor is simply not acceptable. It's a pleasure to do something productive on this display compared to my old one and games look incredible. The 24" size means everything looks a lot clearer than the standard 27" and it's the perfect size for my desk. The 144Hz refresh rate is honestly the best part of the monitor (the monitor has a built-in overclocking feature that can boost its performance). up to 165Hz, but my particular monitor refuses to overclock to that high frequency, so I'll leave it at 144Hz). As someone who has never experienced a display above 60Hz before, the difference was startling. In games that run this fast, animations look ridiculously smooth. G-Sync completes the package by completely eliminating screen tearing and maintaining a consistent frame rate. Play with
