Great business class monitor with speakers.

We bought this monitor based on our previous experience with Dell monitors and the fact that it has built in speakers. We've always had good luck with Dell monitors, both in terms of display quality and build quality and post-purchase support. We needed an inexpensive monitor as part of a tech upgrade I was doing for my mother-in-law, something simple that she could hook up herself. It doesn't get much easier than that; only two wires, power and HDMI. The speakers are of good quality for basic…

Bought for the home office

Since I work from home more than in the office, I needed high quality monitors like the ones I have in the office. They are of good quality and allow me to see everything I am working on at the same time as I bought 2 of them. My husband liked them so much he asked me to buy him one too.

Good for a cheap home office setup

Works well for my home office, easy to read text, nice and bright and good color filters to reduce blue light. Also supports 75Hz. The stand can be adjusted, but is not very high. I would mount it a little higher than your desk, but the screen can also be tilted up.

Great purchase 👍🏻 in my review

The monitor has a modern home look, the OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled via push buttons on the underside of the lower bezel on the right. The power button also features a vertical, slit-shaped power LED that glows softly white when the monitor is on and blinks white when it is in a low power state (signal lost to PC). Out of the box, the image was fairly saturated, with good depth and "pop" tones. He was pretty balanced. The end result in terms of feature set is solid all-round…

Works with Apple MacBook Air.

Works on my Apple MacBook Air with USBC on one end and HDMI on the other. Go straight. Make sure you are using Big Sur Apple OS. Good sound monitor. Input = 2x HDMI and 1x AUX audio output.

Great base graphics, weak speakers

This is a good budget monitor. Graphics and brightness are excellent and I haven't had any reliability issues. I am a very light user and do not use this monitor for gaming or watching sports. The only issue I noticed is that the speakers are clean, but even at max volume they're hard to hear. I have a UE Boom Bluetooth speaker/microphone ready for conference calls.

Too few connections, but good monitor

The Dell S2421H 24 inch is a good monitor. For the price, it's sharp, easy to use, and good value. The only downside is that it only has HDMI ports. It would be nice if the monitor had VGA or DVI connectors, making it compatible with Dell and Lenovo docking stations.

Great monitor for the price

I love this monitor. Great price, easy to set up and a real improvement in my work environment. It has speakers, but it's not decided yet if I should use it instead of the speakers on my Mac Book Pro.

Great partner for my Dell laptop

Most of the time, like 99%, I use my laptop at home in my office. The monitor is an integral part and works very well in unison with the computer. I like the size, sound, picture quality and size. What's not to like?

Great addition to my workplace.

This is a great entry-level/mid-range monitor. I have no problem with that and for example the monitor rotates both left and right and also mounts vertically. Image quality and responsiveness are very fast, with no glitches. I use it as an extended monitor for work and personal use in photography, web browsing, Excel work and it's great. Not flimsy at all, the stand is functional and stylish, it doesn't hurt the eyes.

Perfect for me in my rating.

I was looking for a cheap monitor with 2 HDMI ports and thought this would be the best option. Very happy with this purchase so far, it has great colors and good speakers.

solid monitor in my review

This is a reliable monitor for work/study. I only play it by plugging in my Switch, so my high refresh rate requirements are minimal. The picture quality is pretty sharp. My only gripe with this is the lack of HDMI points - there's only one.

What are the drawbacks of Dell S2721HS: HD Ultra Thin Monitor with FreeSync and IPS Technology?
  • Monitor contrast is too low.

I have the 24 inch adjustable model. The screen quality is great for everyday computing. The adjustment is fantastic for finding the right height and angle. However, I gave four stars because the name Revain on the order page is misleading. If you selected adjustable options, the monitor does NOT have built-in speakers. It has an audio output that I can connect to a range of speakers.

Excellent value for money and quality

Outstanding picture quality! Very satisfied. I use it as a third monitor in my basement office. VESA mount with VIVO desktop mount. Please note that there are two variants of this monitor. I bought the S2421HS model which has no speakers but has a display port as well as an HDMI port and an adjustable stand. Another version of the monitor, model S2421H, is equipped with speakers, but without a display port, two HDMI connectors. Connections and fixed stand.

Eh It does the job.

This is a monitor. It shows pictures. Video on this display has remarkably exaggerated ghosting even when the response time is set to "extreme". I haven't seen such bad ghosting since the first flat screens. However, my biggest problem is the noticeable lines between pixels in orange and blue. This is an overall disappointing monitor that hardly compares to my other "cheap" display, a small $100 ROC from 5 years ago. I would not buy this display again.

Great monitor for $$

This is an exceptional monitor, especially for the price. The only downside is that it only has 1 HDMI, but it also has a Displayport input. Plug and play is only required to change settings for multiple displays. I put it next to my 27" Mac so you can see the size. the screen is the same size, only the frame on the mac is bigger, i would recommend this to everyone.

Perfect for our home office

Easy to set up and install. I wanted dynamism - so I chose this model over the adjustable height model. Happy with this decision - the height on our desk is comfortable and the sound is just great.

  • Not cheap but decent
What negative features does Dell S2721HS: HD Ultra Thin Monitor with FreeSync and IPS Technology have?
  • Limited contrast setting

I bought this monitor to connect my wife's home and work computers to one monitor. However, the active switch only works if one of the HDMI inputs has failed; Aside from tiny hidden buttons in the bottom right of the screen, there's no way to choose between two active HDMI sources. A computer must always be off for autoselect to use a different signal. It would be nice to add some kind of software-controlled switching function.

Very happy with my rating.

I upgraded my home office and received two of these Dell monitors along with a Dell D3100 which connects to my laptop via USB 3.x and allows me to connect three additional monitors. My old Inspiron 5559 works great with all three elements. The image on the monitor is sharp and clear. The height adjustment along with the tilt is very handy to get the look you want. The thin bezel is great. No regret.

Good quality for the price

This is clearly not a top-end monitor, nor is it advertised as such. There aren't many frills, but it does the job of a solid monitor at a good price. I've had it for a little over a year and haven't had any problems with it. If it dies inside me before the five year mark, I'll see if I can remember to come back here and add that little tidbit. So far, so good.
