Dell 27 Inch Monitor S2721H

Long story short, the specs seem better than it is,If you can get it on sale, go for it, but there are a few things to keep in mind:1- Free sync only! (No G-Sync/xbox VFR) - While most freesync monitors work with freesync, this is only supported over Displayport, Also, this monitor only has hdmi 1.4 ports, so it may not support VFR devices like the xbox series x.2. It's edge lit - with light bleed, The monitor will look pretty grey-ish when displaying a 'blank' (black) screen.3. The monitor reports as 60hz at 1080p.The monitor seems capable of 1080p75hz, but you'lll need to force that in the graphics card settings, if you don't windows will limit the display to 60hz.And even with the fix, enabling v-sync in some games will lock you to 60hz.Other than ... MoreLong story short, the specs seem better than it is,If you can get it on sale, go for it, but there are a few things to keep in mind:1- Free sync only!

Beautiful monitor, perfect for work from home, Vesa mount, and the speakers are just right for news, radio, and that ambient background music when u work, not referring to serious music, that’s where headphones comes in, you can customized 2 HDMI input to 2 buttons for 1 touch operation switching, power button is lighted so you know where it is. NOW, the reason for 2 stars, there is one IMPORTANT FEATURE I PAID FOR, BLUE LIGHT REDUCTION, which Dell call comfortview, in the user guide it prompt you to select "Comfortview" from Color Menu, this feature is NOT THERE. Communicated with dell technical team via watsapp for weeks, they are a helpful lot but none can answer, I had to repeat myself many times and all will "get back to me". Some even told me to calibrate RGB ... MoreBeautiful monitor, perfect for work from home, Vesa mount, and the speakers are just right for news, radio, and that ambient background music when u work, not referring to serious music, that’s where headphones comes in, you can customized 2 HDMI input to 2 buttons for 1 touch operation switching, power button is lighted so you know where it is.

Communicated with dell technical team via watsapp for weeks, they are a helpful lot but none can answer, I had to repeat myself many times and all will "get back to me". Some even told me to calibrate RGB setting, but told agent nicely this is not how BLUELIGHT works. Updated latest firmware, still the same. Dell community forum showed that I am not alone and many are as frustrated and "short changed" as I. Waiting for a firmware update where I can ease my eyes and I will give come back and give a 6 stars.

Excellent monitor for office work, text heavy research, light gaming, and photo editing (professional level). I had feared pixel density challenges with FHD on a 27 inch monitor but more than happy with the S2721H. As for the built-in speakers, I did not need them, but chose the Dell S2721H because it was on sale (and the S2721HN without speakers, was not). That said, they are "okay", as can be expected from tiny 3w units.The reason for not giving this monitor 5 stars, is the neck/stand not being height adjustable, and therefore ergonomically challenging - There is an HS version but unfortunately does not have 2 HDMI inputs, which was important to me. Thankfully, a vesa-mount stand from Amazon did the trick to lower the monitor to meet my need.
