🖥️ Dell S2417DG Monitor: Enhanced 24 Inch Display with 60Hz Response Rate Review

Having bought and returned the u2717d within a week, expectations for this s2417dg monitor were low. The first notable difference between the 27-inch and 24-inch screens are the IPS and TN panels. The other is 108ppi versus 123ppi. I'm not worried about the TN panel as it will be my second monitor and games only happen when I'm sitting directly in front of it. This monitor will eventually replace my 6 year old AOC 21" IPS monitor as my secondary monitor. This is my primary monitor for now and…

I will be reviewing this monitor based on the price I paid, not the current price, so take this review with a grain of salt. Before judging this monitor, I first used a calibration I found online, which you should do as well. Link in the comments. Colors were washed out before calibration, but still better than my old monitor. With the calibration, I can't even tell it's a TN panel. Color reproduction is fantastic and viewing angles (to the sides) are on par with many IPS panels. It's worst…

First time I've bought a gaming monitor in 8-10 years. 4 instead of 5 - the result of ignorance on my part, combined with some technical problems. I'm running a 1070, i7, 16GB RAM gaming laptop through a monitor and mini display port and this has drastically changed my gaming experience for the better. Games like Pubg, Fortnite, Rocket League, Siege and more are vastly improved when compared to playing on a 60Hz laptop monitor. I also use my PS4 base with HDMI port and am shocked how much…

Dell Gaming S2417DG YNY1D 24 Inch LED Backlit Monitor with G-SYNC Out of the box, this monitor needs a little tweaking in the built-in settings and then the Nvidia Control Panel to really enjoy it. After that, the colors were really bright and vibrant for me (I personally left Digital Vibrance at 50). The monitor itself is very nicely designed and in my opinion looks a million times better than what is currently available for 144hz monitors and that is one of the main reasons I bought it. I…

I'm giving it 5 stars now because I like it, but I've only used it a few days so far. The monitor came very quickly within a day, so kudos to Revain. The items in the box are typical Dell inventory: monitor, stand, base, CD, and cables. The base and stand are easy to assemble; It has a knurled screw that can be mounted without tools. Vesa mount for those who want to mount them with Vesa mount installed. After running several different games, I noticed an improvement in FPS performance. The most

UPDATE: 4 stars for the overall product: stand and base are very solid. They took their time when they did it. It's tilt and swivel, which means I can set it up vertically with a standard stand without the need for a separate mount. A cable management option is built into the stand. Kind. The design was very simple. I love the colour. I'm not an expert on this, but my laptop feels like it has great color depth. Maybe it's a TN panel? I don't know, but Asus sells their version of this monitor at

I bought this monitor as an upgrade for the AOC G2460PQU 144Hz 1080p TN gaming monitor. This monitor is a worthy upgrade. First, higher resolution is great. All text is much sharper and thanks to the higher resolution you can see more texture detail in games. By comparison, text looks either blurry or pixelated on my secondary 24-inch 1080p display. At this price point, there are few 1440p gaming monitors with the same features, and the higher resolution makes it worth the price. But that's not

EDIT 6/26/2020 Okay. For those interested in durability and reliability, I bought it almost two years ago. Sure, I tend to obsessively about my stuff, but the monitor is still in perfect condition. There are no dead pixels, scratches, or anything else that might indicate wear. I was concerned about the quality because it was an old model back in 2016, but not worth it that much since it's free. It was a high-end monitor for its time, and it shows. I love this monitor. It was a great pairing…

NOTE. Summary in the last paragraph for time savers. I've spent a few days using this monitor as the main driver for my other Samsung 1080@60 displays. In general the experience is what you expect. This display renders 1440p with pure pixel density thanks to its 24-inch display size. If you want to get really close to those retina displays, you'll find them on Apple's MacBooks. Look more for 4K displays of this size, they'll likely be TN panels, but they're pretty darn close to the same pixel…

So take a look at the monitors first, they respond superbly. delay and synchronization. with contrast, gamma and brightness still a bit off I wouldn't say it's bad but the default settings weren't for me but that's not a problem as I can adjust this over time. G-Sync works great and NVidia was able to see it on both monitors with no issues. I'm having trouble going from a 43" TV to a 24" monitor. The monitors also have USB 3.0 on both monitors, giving me a total of 8 additional USB 3.0 ports…

I've been using this monitor for almost a year now and I want to highlight some of the pros and cons that I've found in the meantime. The most obvious plus is that this monitor is attractively priced for its specs, the most notable of which is the 165Hz refresh rate, which I think is crucial for gaming. As the saying goes, "Frames Win Games" and let's just say I won a game or two with this monitor. I really like its size and find the edges thin enough that they don't bother at all. The only…

Colors are lacking as expected from a TN panel monitor, but PC color adjustments can fix this. After some adjustments, the picture quality is A-OK. But it's great for games. The refresh rate is buttery smooth, gsync works wonders and as far as I can tell there is no ghosting. 1440p is really the best place

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…
