@@DaDoubleDee yep, cheapest Datacolor Spyder X PRO is like 200 USD, who even buys it? I guess only companies (since there's plenty of monitors to calibrate), can't imagine to spent this sum for one time use even tho I can afford it, just don't want to spent money on one time use in a decade tool.
@@kantegir Totally agree that it's way too pricey for end consumers. If you need or want to calibrate your display you should check if you can rent a calibration device either from a local store or afaik there are even places that will send it to you and you'll send it back after calibration. Will save you a lot of money and won't take up storage space :)
I feel like minimum brightness would be a good thing to include for those who want use it in low ambient lighting conditions or at night. Many monitors are notorious for having minimum brightness levels of as high as 100 nits, which are a (literal) pain to use.
Picked this up recently and am absolutely blown away, upgraded from the old TN version from 2016 and this is worlds apart with the IPS. Thanks for the great review.

As I've just purchased this monitor to replace a 10 year old DELL U2711, it's fair to say that I have faith in their products. The one thing this review did not cover is the level of warranty you may receive with this monitor, depending on your location. In the UK you get as standard a 3-Year Advanced Exchange Service with a Premium Panel Exchange to protect against even a single bright pixel fault. For about 5% of the purchase price, it's even possible to upgrade this to 5-Year coverage. Few other monitor providers offer this type of support for a 'gaming' monitor and Dell does so because of their business customer focus. One thing to note is that I have found the monitor on sale for less than charged at Dell's website, but the warranty status is never that clear.
@@frankyhernandez4038 I own one and I love it. It’s super sleek doesn’t scream gaming and the colors pop. It’s just super nice for gaming and multitasking.
How's the display? I have the S3220DGF but am thinking of switching it for the S2721DGF as the PPI is denser so watching shows and movies should technically look clearer. My main issue with the S3220DGF is that when watching shows and movies, it tends to look blurry and grainy and it can get annoying. Hoping that if I switch to the S27 the smaller screen should fix it.
@@Reptileman110 1440p in a 27 inch monitor is ideal. You really need 4k to go bigger. The colours on this monitor are fantastic and all content looks great. Contrast is pretty poor though and HDR is useless.
Same. I upgraded from a 1080p 144hz TN and at first is it worth the £300 in the UK, and it definitely is, I wish I upgraded to 1440p IPS earlier to be honest, but glad I ended up with this monitor.
Which display mode were the color accuracy and response time measurements done in, i.e. is it possible to get the best of both worlds without having to switch between different modes?
I love mine. I think my monitor has better black uniformity than the tested unit but also more overshoot. Big upgrade though from my last dell 144hz 1440p gsync display.
It is what it is, every monitor has some kind of downsides if you are looking for all in one package. If you find one that checks all the boxes let me know! :)
@Acheron I have a LC27HG. That's a £455 (600$) monitor, and I'm absolutely not the only one who's having problems with it. Each time I turn it on, I have to wait a solid 15 minutes (artifacts all over the screen, can't see anything) before it eventually "warms up" and becomes useable. On top of that, the colour accuracy is atrocious and I've seen more colour banding on this monitor than on any other, ever. Samsung screwed me over, as well as hundreds of other customers, and I'm not going to keep sending them thousands of dollars every now and then just to make sure that their entire lineup is equally bad.

What monitor did you end up with? I originally bought 1 for my main PC and loved it so much I got 3 for my sim racing rig and replaced really good 1080p Monitors. With the 4 Dells it's the only monitor I use and I don't regret it 1 bit. The motion handling is superb and what's really amazing is I bought 4 of these and only 1 has any amount of black light bleed or IPS glow and it's only noticable if you look hard under the right circumstances. 4 panels and not 1 bad one and no dead/stuck pixels. I'm either lucky or Dell has some serious quality control!
@@gregvandy8902 Hey Greg. So, I caught the Asus PA278CV. For media creator and professional photographer is a great option too. Dell is amazing, is a great monitor for gamers or designers.

I would like to ask how much power does the usb bc 1.2 on this monitor has. Is it 7.5W or 12W? I read if it’s connected to the main power source yeah but I don’t get that. Any ideas ?
Off topic: Hey rtings, i was looking at your website in regards to your samsung Q90T review, however, upon looking at your review, in the "input lag" box, it says 4k 120 Hz N/A. Is this something you're testing right now and will you also test it on ps5/xbox series x and then update that particular review page, once you find out whether it fully supports 120 hz 4k, changing it from N/A to yes or no?
I own one of these monitors, response time in "fast" is no where near quick enough with plenty of overshoot at 165hz. Fast is good enough for 60hz but superfast is the absolute best all round setting for 60-165hz range. If you can lock 165fps in game then the Extremely fast setting is the best. Can't help but feel you've made a mistake in your script somewhere
i have this monitor and love it. I was waiting for this review lol. For anyone who's interested in this one and the similar monitors from LG you need to know that dell comes with a 3 year warranty and the LG counter part only comes with a 1 year warranty. They also have the same IPS panels but Dell overclocks it to get the 165hz refresh rate.
The LG GL850 and GN850 can be over locked to 160hz which seems to never be mentioned. Dell just does it for you. Though that minimum amount of extra hz is not noticeable anyhow
@@clawson32104 well they overlook the 165hz because the naked eye won't be able to tell a difference between 144hz and 165hz. The higher the refresh rate, the bigger difference there needs to be to notice a difference. That's why 240hz and 360hz monitors exist.
Hello thank you for the video, but even with your settings I find the colors really saturated, really a shame that this screen is not well calibrated from the factory because I really struggle to find a good setting, If you have other settings to share that would be cool ? thank you
Mine is overheating on the bottom part near the Dell logo. I had a random shutdown a few days ago. The monitor was still getting power to function, but the screen went black and I had to let it cool down before using it again! Is this a common problem for this model?
Anyone else have this issues with this monitor??? You have a second monitor to the right and when you launch a game that's not quite 1440p, anything behind the game gets pushed to the right monitor forcing the picture on the right monitor to move off the right monitor?? I posted a link to a video of it in action but it got deleted
i've heard for next gen consoles that - LG 27gl850, ASUS TUF gaming vg27aq and Dell S2721DGF are very excellent monitors. Do keep in mine that ps5 does not support 1440p, but I heard someone say that that isn't the case, but idk for sure
@@Flootyy To my knowledge of reading reviews, the LG 27GL850-B is capped at 100Hz with Freesync over HDMI - source rtings.com.

I'm trying to decide between this one and the Gigabyte M27Q. Does this have a KVM inside too? I'd like to have a work laptop on hdmi and a desktop with dp
I’m using this monitor for my Xbox Series S and having some blank screen issue occasionally. Seeing many users are having the situation. Do you have the same problem?
So are these compatible with hdmi 2.1, for next gen consoles? Looking to upgrade for next gen, and am pretty lost as to what I'm actually needing. Any help much appreciated!
@@antoniovega6241 that's where alot of my confusion comes from I guess. I really don't know enough about 2.1 tech, and I see many videos giving conflicting views of what it "needs" to work. Guess I'll just wait until next year to upgrade the monitor and see what happens.
If you really want to future proof, then yeah you should wait for HDMI 2.1 monitors. That's always how it goes with tech right? :D However, if you're after the promise of 4K 120Hz gaming, realistically speaking most AAA console games will never be able to hit that. Don't believe the hype. Even if you transition into PC gaming, you'd have to have a disgustingly expensive PC to hit that holy grail even on medium to high graphics settings. Forget 4K 120Hz with all settings maxed out. That's a pipe dream right now. If you don't believe me, look up gameplay videos of Red Dead Redemption 2 running on a PC equipped with the RTX 3090. Keep in mind that that game came out in 2018, and the RTX 3090 alone costs at least 3 times as much as a PS5 or an XSX. Will there be 4K 120Hz next gen console games? Most likely, but they'll be racing games, FPS games and 2D games, not the God of War or Horizon-caliber ones. If you're not planning to play at 4K (case in point, the Dell monitor in the video maxes out at 1440p) or are fine with 4K 60Hz, then HDMI 2.0 monitors will be more than good enough for you. The real advantage of HDMI 2.1 for the PS5 and XSX in my opinion are variable refresh rate (VRR) and automatic low latency mode (ALLM). VRR is more commonly known in the PC world under the marketed names of NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD Freesync. A monitor with VRR adjusts its refresh rate to the game's frame rate on the fly for a smoother output. This means that a monitor with VRR support will not always display at the refresh rate that you set. While that may seem like a bad thing, it's actually good because consoles and PCs can sometimes have trouble consistently producing your preset frame rate. The more things are happening on screen, the more likely you are to drop frames. VRR mitigates the choppy experience by adjusting its refresh rate accordingly. If you can put two and two together, this means VRR is a bigger deal for TVs, because right now only a handful of them support this (LG's CX OLED TVs for example), but there are already a ton of HDMI 2.0 monitors that support G-Sync and Freesync. ALLM is a lot simpler and is more of a convenience, but it will still benefit a lot of people, since most of us don't bother fiddling with settings. In short, this feature allows the connected device to tell the HDMI 2.1 display to automatically switch to its lowest input latency setting, so your keyboard or gamepad inputs will feel as responsive as the display can allow.
@@eschreck814 No problem! Just cut through the marketing and the hype and stick to what YOU need and what YOU can afford. That's all that matters. I know it can be hard to ignore or not want these cool things - I used to be like that, until I started having financial troubles. Now I look at my midrange phone and I cannot fathom why on earth I bought flagship phones when something like this is perfectly fine for my needs. You just have to stick up for yourself, because everyone's trying their best to make you feel like you don't have enough. But you're the one who has to deal with what you buy and the money you lose. Never forget that.
I just bought the LG 27GL83A-B in great discount - beautiful monitor but I quite did not win the panel lottery and unfortunately have some blacklight bleed, mostly in the left bottom corner. It is ok when I am gaming but not so pleasant when watching dark scenes or playing some dark themed games. I still can refund it and take the Dell S2721DGF (also in the sale right now, little bit more expensive tho). Should I do it?
@@jamesdixon6903 I stayed with the LG. The blacklight blees is only visible when the screen is mostly dark/black so it't not really a problem. Only thing that piss me off little but is the trianglen shapes stand, it takes a lot of space on my small desk. But I will probably buy some mount arm for it.
I’ve switched from a DELL 2719DGF to this one and can’t get over the Ghosting/Motiom blur it has. Meanwhile the older one has 0 ghosting. Anyone know why this is the case?
We list some settings in the review, but realistically you should spend some time playing around with the settings on your own accord as these things can vary between units. Another option is to get it calibrated from a professional!
@@RTINGSdotcom I noticed that the calibrated rgb values from the video, are different that the values on the website review. wich ones are the good ones? Thanks you guys!
There are two types of connections on the back: HDMI and DisplayPort. Most desktops with a graphics card have a displayport output. So, use the included displayport cable and connect it to the displayport output and input respectively. The shape of the displayport headee is different from the usual HDMI and the ports are labeled, so don't worry about getting it wrong. If you're using a laptop, many only have HDMI, so you'll likely be stuck on the lower refresh rate.
Hi, I don't understand English, and your video doesn't have subtitles in a language I understand. Can you tell me if this monitor is also suitable for photo editing? Well thank you
It's a great overall choice. The large, high-resolution screen makes it easier to see more of your work at once. It has excellent ergonomics and an amazing horizontal viewing angle, so you can easily share the screen with clients or colleagues. It has a superb SDR color gamut, with good coverage of the Adobe RGB color space. The biggest downfall is that it has disappointing accuracy out of the box, so it might be necessary to have it professionally calibrated. Hope this helps!

I got the s3220dgf, the colours are very good out of the box without much calibration needed, backlight uniformity is excellent to the point where I think the monitor is turned off if it's showing a black screen.

@@Locknuts84 So I've heard. I don't care too much about contrast, mainly want it to just look nice and clear when watching shows, movies or gaming.
@@Reptileman110 This one is a winner then. Films look great.
Excellent monitor. I own one and can say its hyped for a reason. It's a fantastic gaming monitor.
Same. I upgraded from a 1080p 144hz TN and at first is it worth the £300 in the UK, and it definitely is, I wish I upgraded to 1440p IPS earlier to be honest, but glad I ended up with this monitor.
It’s THEE best 1440p gaming monitor hands down atm. 1440p, 165hz, 1ms rt, HDR and both free sync and g-sync capable? Nothing beats this.
Do you have an Nvidia gpu? How's adaptive sync?
is it really that bad while playing in the dark? and what settings did you guys configure it with? I will be buying it soon!
@@Flootyy That's what I'm wondering too. I just ordered it and I'm afraid the absence of deep black colours is gonna annoy me.
Which display mode were the color accuracy and response time measurements done in, i.e. is it possible to get the best of both worlds without having to switch between different modes?
I love mine. I think my monitor has better black uniformity than the tested unit but also more overshoot. Big upgrade though from my last dell 144hz 1440p gsync display.
You got the 2417DG before?
@@mikeswanson9800 the 27 inch version, yeah.
I bought and love it except for some backlight bleed mainly in the bottom left
I love Dell monitors, but low contrast ratio and backlight bleeding is a dealbreaker for me.
It is what it is, every monitor has some kind of downsides if you are looking for all in one package. If you find one that checks all the boxes let me know! :)

@Acheron G7 VA Panel not really a definition of all arounder ;)
@Acheron I have a Samsung monitor and it's the worst piece of crap I've ever owned. I'll never buy a Samsung monitor again!
@Acheron I have a LC27HG. That's a £455 (600$) monitor, and I'm absolutely not the only one who's having problems with it. Each time I turn it on, I have to wait a solid 15 minutes (artifacts all over the screen, can't see anything) before it eventually "warms up" and becomes useable. On top of that, the colour accuracy is atrocious and I've seen more colour banding on this monitor than on any other, ever. Samsung screwed me over, as well as hundreds of other customers, and I'm not going to keep sending them thousands of dollars every now and then just to make sure that their entire lineup is equally bad.
still bummed about that crappy contrast ratio. The perfect monitor still does not exist :(

With the 4 Dells it's the only monitor I use and I don't regret it 1 bit. The motion handling is superb and what's really amazing is I bought 4 of these and only 1 has any amount of black light bleed or IPS glow and it's only noticable if you look hard under the right circumstances. 4 panels and not 1 bad one and no dead/stuck pixels.

Off topic:
Hey rtings, i was looking at your website in regards to your samsung Q90T review, however, upon looking at your review, in the "input lag" box, it says 4k 120 Hz N/A.
Is this something you're testing right now and will you also test it on ps5/xbox series x and then update that particular review page, once you find out whether it fully supports 120 hz 4k, changing it from N/A to yes or no?
Ist possible to play on 1080p 120hz with the Ps5?
I own one of these monitors, response time in "fast" is no where near quick enough with plenty of overshoot at 165hz. Fast is good enough for 60hz but superfast is the absolute best all round setting for 60-165hz range. If you can lock 165fps in game then the Extremely fast setting is the best. Can't help but feel you've made a mistake in your script somewhere
i have this monitor and love it. I was waiting for this review lol. For anyone who's interested in this one and the similar monitors from LG you need to know that dell comes with a 3 year warranty and the LG counter part only comes with a 1 year warranty. They also have the same IPS panels but Dell overclocks it to get the 165hz refresh rate.
Thanks man!
The LG GL850 and GN850 can be over locked to 160hz which seems to never be mentioned. Dell just does it for you. Though that minimum amount of extra hz is not noticeable anyhow
@@clawson32104 well they overlook the 165hz because the naked eye won't be able to tell a difference between 144hz and 165hz. The higher the refresh rate, the bigger difference there needs to be to notice a difference. That's why 240hz and 360hz monitors exist.
@@just_matt3937 that's true. Still the LG overclocked to 160hz vs 165hz on the Dell won't be noticeable to almost anybody. It's only 5hz.

So are these compatible with hdmi 2.1, for next gen consoles? Looking to upgrade for next gen, and am pretty lost as to what I'm actually needing. Any help much appreciated!
I could be wrong but I don’t think many monitors have hdmi 2.1 right now and the ones that do have a hefty price tag of around $600 and up
@@antoniovega6241 that's where alot of my confusion comes from I guess. I really don't know enough about 2.1 tech, and I see many videos giving conflicting views of what it "needs" to work. Guess I'll just wait until next year to upgrade the monitor and see what happens.
If you really want to future proof, then yeah you should wait for HDMI 2.1 monitors. That's always how it goes with tech right? :D However, if you're after the promise of 4K 120Hz gaming, realistically speaking most AAA console games will never be able to hit that. Don't believe the hype. Even if you transition into PC gaming, you'd have to have a disgustingly expensive PC to hit that holy grail even on medium to high graphics settings. Forget 4K 120Hz with all settings maxed out. That's a pipe dream right now. If you don't believe me, look up gameplay videos of Red Dead Redemption 2 running on a PC equipped with the RTX 3090. Keep in mind that that game came out in 2018, and the RTX 3090 alone costs at least 3 times as much as a PS5 or an XSX. Will there be 4K 120Hz next gen console games? Most likely, but they'll be racing games, FPS games and 2D games, not the God of War or Horizon-caliber ones.
If you're not planning to play at 4K (case in point, the Dell monitor in the video maxes out at 1440p) or are fine with 4K 60Hz, then HDMI 2.0 monitors will be more than good enough for you.
The real advantage of HDMI 2.1 for the PS5 and XSX in my opinion are variable refresh rate (VRR) and automatic low latency mode (ALLM).
VRR is more commonly known in the PC world under the marketed names of NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD Freesync. A monitor with VRR adjusts its refresh rate to the game's frame rate on the fly for a smoother output. This means that a monitor with VRR support will not always display at the refresh rate that you set. While that may seem like a bad thing, it's actually good because consoles and PCs can sometimes have trouble consistently producing your preset frame rate. The more things are happening on screen, the more likely you are to drop frames. VRR mitigates the choppy experience by adjusting its refresh rate accordingly. If you can put two and two together, this means VRR is a bigger deal for TVs, because right now only a handful of them support this (LG's CX OLED TVs for example), but there are already a ton of HDMI 2.0 monitors that support G-Sync and Freesync.
ALLM is a lot simpler and is more of a convenience, but it will still benefit a lot of people, since most of us don't bother fiddling with settings. In short, this feature allows the connected device to tell the HDMI 2.1 display to automatically switch to its lowest input latency setting, so your keyboard or gamepad inputs will feel as responsive as the display can allow.
@@iatwiatw thank you for the thorough response!
@@eschreck814 No problem! Just cut through the marketing and the hype and stick to what YOU need and what YOU can afford. That's all that matters. I know it can be hard to ignore or not want these cool things - I used to be like that, until I started having financial troubles. Now I look at my midrange phone and I cannot fathom why on earth I bought flagship phones when something like this is perfectly fine for my needs. You just have to stick up for yourself, because everyone's trying their best to make you feel like you don't have enough. But you're the one who has to deal with what you buy and the money you lose.

Unfortunately, our wallpapers seen in the reviews are pictures taken from our photographer. I'll let him know you like his work though!
What do you mean by display port instead of HDMI? I just ordered the 32” version of this monitor, so I want the higher refresh rate.
There are two types of connections on the back: HDMI and DisplayPort.
Most desktops with a graphics card have a displayport output. So, use the included displayport cable and connect it to the displayport output and input respectively. The shape of the displayport headee is different from the usual HDMI and the ports are labeled, so don't worry about getting it wrong.
If you're using a laptop, many only have HDMI, so you'll likely be stuck on the lower refresh rate.
Would love to buy one, but it is nearly impossible to find a new one in Germany right now

Hi, I don't understand English, and your video doesn't have subtitles in a language I understand. Can you tell me if this monitor is also suitable for photo editing? Well thank you
It's a great overall choice. The large, high-resolution screen makes it easier to see more of your work at once. It has excellent ergonomics and an amazing horizontal viewing angle, so you can easily share the screen with clients or colleagues. It has a superb SDR color gamut, with good coverage of the Adobe RGB color space. The biggest downfall is that it has disappointing accuracy out of the box, so it might be necessary to have it professionally calibrated. Hope this helps!
Can someone help me with some settings advices? My panel has the colors a bit oversaturated, the reds ar too bright and the colors doesnt feel quite right..
Hello!
At the moment, the only recommended settings we offer for monitors can be found in our reviews: www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s2721dgf
In this case, it might even be worth trying out our ICC profile to see if it helps. pcmonitors.info/articles/using-icc-profiles-in-windows/ Hope this helps!
@@RTINGSdotcom Thanks for the fast response! I allready use this ICC profile :D.
I think is something from the monitor settings..
@@adrianclaudiuvizitiu3001 get 27gp850 instead. it has srgb mode which is super accurate colors. you can tweak further using graphics card control panel.
Torn between the s2721dgf and the s3220dgf would splurge for the samsung odyssey g7, but I dont think its worth 700 beans
I have the same dilema.
@@jazon9 is one standing out more than the other? I went to best buy today to check them out. They had the 2721dgf and the 3220dgf, I have to say the colors looked better to me on the 27 variant, the 32 seemed alittle dull, but it could have just been what was running on the demo. They didn't have the g7 there, they had a similar samsung. I might narrow my choices to the odyssey g7 and s2721dgf

They both stack up well vs the Dell & Samsung, @ $600 & $480, respectively.
One is an IPS panel, the other is VA. I prefer the VA for better contrast, and uniformity (S3220).
I got the s3220dgf, the colours are very good out of the box without much calibration needed, backlight uniformity is excellent to the point where I think the monitor is turned off if it's showing a black screen. Contrast ratio is good for games and movies. If you consume a lot of media then I think VA is the way to go. Overall very happy with it.
got it on sale at microcenter for 430, price matched with best buy for free shipping, they still have some at the stores (only certain stores have stock at 430 tho)
