Dell make such good monitors and price to performance is always great. This monitor does everything well. Good colours, decent contrast and well designed with an understated look. The monitor is blurry out of the box due to the overdrive being on the lowest setting. Once increased it works great.
This is a great curved monitor for the Xbox series. X refresh rate high definition more than high definition hasn’t got speakers but easy to get two of those to plug-in would recommend.
I got it for an amazing price because the delivery was estimated to be from 2 weeks up to 2 months at the time, not sure why but no complaints from me. And on top of that it even came early!
Great specs, you wont get a better curved 1440p 165hz monitor at this price range
Has to be overclocked to achieve the 165hz speed but it is excellent just at 144hz. Picture quality is great although I haven’t tested it fully on FPS games so far.
Really good Monitor it will run at 4k 60hz for Xbox XS not mentioned by Amazon great price would like the 4k 120 hz one but refuse to pay 800 for it the G3223D has everything you need anyways for half the price @Dell would of been nice if added more USB Ports and the choice of two audio ports like on other models from this series of monitor and like your alienwear monitors
My son is very happy with this monitor.
I marked it down as we had to purchase another power cable as the one supplied kept falling out. Otherwise great monitor. What you would expect from a known brand.
Thanks
If you want a curved monitor this is the best you gonna find
At 200 quid nothing will beat this monitor in the 1440p moderately high refresh category.
No ghosting issues noticed on the VA panel.
Response times fantastic.
Screen looks great, high refresh rate and works well with both AMD or NVIDIA. Not a device to watch films on etc.
Use this mainly for gaming. Been great for that, only downside is HDR but that’s pretty overated and only good on very pricey products. this is great for its price, amazing value
There are several amazing traits to this monitor, but all you really need to know is that you won’t get a better all-rounder for your money in the current market. Virtually every other monitor that outperforms this unit suffers another major drawback; be it price, poor colour accuracy/vibrance, or a slow response time.
This monitor competes with the likes of the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD and the LG 27GP850 while costing approximately 100+ less, practically all of the time.
This monitor is recommended by so many reviewers and after trying it myself, I can only reinforce their claims.
Pros:
– Picture quality is outstanding with a 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution, squeezed into a 27″ screen-space. This amounts to a pixel density of 109ppi (pixels per inch). For context, that’s about the same as a 40″ 4K display
– Phenomenal colour performance which is excellent for gaming and suitable for light colour critical workloads
– Gameplay feels blisteringly quick with a 165hz refresh rate and a response time that competes with TN panels, without the muted colours that come with TN displays
– No stuttering or screen tearing with BOTH Nvidia G-Sync AND AMD Freesync Premium Pro
– Price to performance is outstanding, this monitor should be in the 500 category
– Ergonomics and design, design is minimalist making it ideal for any aesthetic. Includes a vibrant blue LED (can be disabled in OSD) on the back that adds a nice premium touch to an otherwise “sleeper” monitor
Cons:
– Out-of-box colour performance can be a little oversaturated, which can make your whites look slightly yellow and skin tones look slightly red or tanned – this can be fixed through calibration but unless you do colour-sensitive work, I’d recommend just doing a search for DELL S2721DGFA colour settings and playing about with some other user’s recommendations. Every panel is different, but the settings shouldn’t vary too heavily.
– HDR performance is lacklustre but the same is true for the vast majority of displays on the market, it’s really just a marketing buzzword to encourage sales and while disappointing that it’s not well implemented, this should NOT deter you, because unless you buy a professional display for colour work or video editing, or an extremely expensive OLED display, you won’t get good HDR performance anyway.
– Some units make experience IPS glow or Backlight bleed, which can cause some areas of the display to glow during dark scenes or moments in games. My unit does have a little backlight bleed in the lower right corner, but I honestly only notice it when I’m actually looking for it.
To summarise, although this monitor does have some extremely minor cons, the pros FAR outweigh them. This monitor is an absolute bargain for the price so just buy it, you won’t be disappointed!
I bought this to replace a broken monitor. It’s good, but the one criticim I’d make is that the instructions are poor. I would have liked to know that I needed to press the tiny button (joy stick really) to enter the monitor’s menu and engage the correct PC connection.
Pros

Connectivity
Cons
LEDs in the back you can’t turn off
Makes quiet hissing sound when hdr is on
Not great UI of OSD
Edit:
when mounted to arm, sometimes loose power. Works perfectly on included stand.
his monitor is just brilliant. for the money you are spending the picture quality is miles better than i could have imagined.
i play FPS games (COD, overwatch 2 and apex) this monitor makes the image look crisp and clean!
Good image quality. Overall please with it . Couldn’t ask for more for the money.
10/10 product – just came with EU plug which is annoying
Screen is big. Bigger than my old one. Quality is great and don’t have a bad word to say about it. Worth the money
Cannot find any fault with it, gaming yes, watching movies in amazing clarity and details yes. Screen in screen yes. Very easy to control with the finger joystick on the back.
Buy this over ASUS, ACER, MSI, etc.
It’s a no brainer!
Overall, this Monitor is fabulous to look at. The 4K, 144Hz display is incredible to game on and I’m happy with it for my gaming. For content creation purposes, I can appreciate the extra screen real estate as the monitor really benefits from 125% scaling on Windows. More analysis below:
Out-The-Box colour calibration is acceptable but the display’s contrast ratio is too low – blacks appear more grey. For HDR users: It has a decent peak brightness but the blacks are just too grey for me to call the HDR satisfactory – look for another product.
The monitor settings are intuitive to navigate and I’m able to remap 3 of the monitor’s buttons – I set mine to quickly switch between input sources and toggle Picture-In-Picture (PiP) mode on/off. PiP can display 2 inputs at once (e.g. a PS5 on HDMI and a PC on DisplayPort) which I was excited to try but this locks the monitor to 60Hz which was disappointing. You can arrange how PiP displays the 2 inputs (corner, side-by-side, etc.).
The monitor settings also boasts a “Response Time” setting (Fast/Super Fast/Extreme) BUT increasing it past the lowest setting (Fast) results in horrific ghosting which was unacceptable.
P.S: Amazon initially sent me a faulty monitor. I observed it had already been opened when it was delivered to me as there was no tape sealing it from being opened. The panel would not display anything – not even the monitor’s settings (input source, brightness/contrast, etc.) or “NO SIGNAL” windows. I contacted Amazon support and the next day UPS picked up the faulty monitor and a replacement was delivered. Happy to say this new one works swimmingly – just please be be observant when you receive yours to ensure that it’s TRULY “new” and not an already opened product. I have not factored this incident into my review as these things can happen and it was dealt with perfectly.
The quality is a major upgrade to what I had before. Video games look amazing in 2k and play smoothly. The colors also are amazing for movie nights and large resolution is decent enough to do creative work and work with many tabs at once.
Nothing to complain about at all apart from it should come with a spirit level cos getting it level lol had to measure the left and right corner distance to my desk. by eye it’s impossible !
Probably the first monitor I’ve used where I haven’t had to adjust the default settings. Looks great.
I upgraded from an AOC 24G2U (1080p IPS 144Hz) and the difference between 1080p and 1440p was surprisingly noticeable, as was 144Hz to 165Hz. At 27″, the pixels per inch are incredibly high, and so the picture quality is very sharp. The slightly higher refresh also makes gameplay feel a lot smoother compared to my previous monitor, even if actual performance sits around the same frames per second – that’s also a compliment to Dell’s overdrive settings.
Gaming on this monitor feels very smooth, and if you’re lucky enough to be running a relatively high-end graphics card, then this resolutions feels like the sweet-spot for great visuals and high frame rate performance, which I found excellent in first-person shooter titles such as Call of Duty: Warzone.
Colour performance is also great, and my monitor has no dead pixels and very little IPS glow, which I know is something that can bother some people. There is a little IPS glow in the lower corners, but if you don’t plan to play in a dark room, you won’t notice this at all. Lots of reviews out there comment on how the contrast ratio is also low on this monitor, but again, I’ve not noticed any significant issues.
The on-screen display and menu navigation is made easy with a joy-stick like button on the back right of the monitor, and several buttons below to access other settings. There are two USB’s and a 3.5 audio input on the underside left of the monitor, and more USB’s on the rear – useful for any accessories or quick charging access.
Personally, I think this is a great monitor that ties a professional aesthetic with high-end gaming performance, and when compared to the competition around the same price (currently this monitor is 319.99 in the UK), then it’s the best option.
I use this as part of a dual monitor setup, one of my monitors is the Dell S2721QS 4K 60Hz display, and together with this QHD 165Hz it creates the perfect setup. I use the other monitor as my main monitor for work, then this is perfect for gaming. This monitor has the best looking stand, it looks very robust (better than the other monitor) and the back design looks cool without being over the top. The response time is brill, which is great for FPS’s like CoD. You can never go wrong with buying Dell.
Very pleased with this Dell monitor, crisp image quality and easy to set up , fast delivery and with HDMI cables included! Thanks
For the price this monitor out performs most. I paired this with an Xbox series x and pc. Graphics look amazing, and is slightly bigger than my previous monitor but I like the change. The buttons on the screen took time to get used to the different functions, as I was too lazy to look at the manual. To get the most from the series x you need to change some setting on the monitor itself as well as the Xbox.
only thing I dislike is the thick cable but that’s because of high power usage the light looks amazing its one color you can turn it off if needed (e.g. power saving usage , gets annoying) nice screen to bezel ratio but not flattering no speakers are in this device doesn’t have a crosshair mode on like almost every monitor gaming or not, but colors looks good its a good monitor.
This monitor was bought as a replacement for a Samsung Odyssey G5 which became faulty after less than 2 weeks. In retrospect I’m happier with this one than the Samsung. The resolution and framerate were easier to set up on an Xbox using this monitor than the other one, it was all automatic, and the on-screen controls are easier to navigate. Definitely happy with my purchase.
Decent monitor, unfortunately can’t take advantage of the high refresh rate as I’ve got it connected to my PS4 pro
Online reviews will probably tell a much better picture, but I find no fault at all in this monitor.
Tips on setting up for PC with Geforce RTX Graphics card.
Use the power supply cable supplied as this has a 10amp fuse. If you have only HDML cables to your graphics card your wasting your money on this monitor you wont go above 60 Hz without problems.
When first switching on you will see a small display bottom RH corner with countries listed and a Xbox controller Icon. I use a mouse on my PC took me to google to find operating buttons on the back panel hit the centre button and your there. It is impotant that you fit the DISPLAY cables that that are supplied. When you right click the screen it will go to Nvidia display it will show you already have sync with the graphics card. Here you can alter the Hz I used 144Hz. There is one other problem over 60Hz it does not like my WiFi adapter when I used the HDMI cable connection. So I hard wired it but left it in situ when using the display cable. As for speakers there are none that I can see, not a problem with usb headphones or blue tooth separate speakers with my system.
WARNING. Just found out that Amazons NEW WORLD game is causing Geforce high end graphics cards and CPU to run hot and that includes mine. No problem with my old screen noticed the fan started to act strange, using task manager both the CPU and Graphics was at 100%. Some have had there devices fried.
Have uninstalled New World as a precaution after reading reports from the net not safe to play with high end graphics cards and CPU.
It is interesting that this monitor was 299 from Amazon (Dell Store) yet 376 direct from Dell).
Why did I choose Dell?
Simply put, although there are a huge number of competitive monitors available at reasonable prices and similar specs (Gigabyte, LG, BenQ to name a few), I went for Dell simply because in the past I’ve used many Dell Ultrasharps which have been outstanding quality, totally reliable, never ever any issues. My old company (Solar Gas Turbines part of Caterpillar Inc) always used Dell (laptops & monitors) and they’re not going to choose something that gives problems.
I’ve connected a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to DisplayPort cable between one of the native M1 ports and the Dell. This is the “USB C to DisplayPort Cable 1.8m, WARRKY USBC to Display Port Lead (4K@60Hz, 2K@165Hz, 2K@144Hz)”, chosen for wide frequency operation – even though I don’t use games.
Out of the box the Dell is running 2560×1440 @ 165Hz.
My main monitor for my Win10 Dell M6800 laptop is a super brilliant Dell U2715H, very similar spec to the S2721DGFA, but is much more expensive, so I didn’t want to spend so much money on another 2715. The differences are marginal:
– The 2715 has more ports
– Both are the same resolution, same physical size. Same pixel density.
– The S2721DGFA has better colour space accuracy (e.g., sRGB, Adobe etc), better contrast & brightness characteristics.
My main purpose is for Photo scanning and editing, hence I need a decent size (27″) with high resolution and accurate colour rendition.
The photos show the same picture, with plenty of different colours, on the Dell & native MacBook screen (default ICCs).
What I’m particularly pleased about is that the same photo appears identical, in colour, on all my devices, M1, iPad, iPhone & Dell M6800 (Win10 with external Dell U2715H monitor).
This will give me confidence that any work I do on my negative & slide scans (I have about 3,000 to do going back 40 years) will yield consistent and accurate results – what I see on the M1 with S2721DGFA will be seen the same on my phone, tablet and other people’s devices, without having to recourse to expensive hardware colour calibration tools.
The range of ports on the S2721DGFA covers me if and when I connect another device (e.g. old MacBook Pro or Win10 laptop) either simultaneously with the M1 or independent of the M1 using either DP, HDMI or USB.
I would not hesitate to buy the same again should my trusty 8 year old U2715H decides enough is enough.
For it’s price it’s perfect
But…there are way better monitors out there.
I was expecting it to have a screen like some good TVs have or like the iPhone retina display.
Colors are very nice though but still not the image quality of a 4K TV
Unbelievably good for just under 300. I can’t recommend this product enough!
This is almost a perfect monitor if it wasnt for the stand.
The baseplate of the stand is too big for me.
Otherwise, its absolute perfect for gaming, supports g-sync.
Perfect colour accurecy and viewing angles are amaging.
Well I have owned the monitor for about 3 months now and wanted to see how I get on with it.
First thing I will add is it does suffer from light bleed and its very notable in dark rooms , I have found that using this monitor with the light on in my room at night works best.
Colours are nice out the box .
I mainly purchased this screen for the 165hz speeds and its safe to say it works fantastic and has defiantly made me a better FPS player. and thats the main reason why you buy this monitor anyway.
The Bad : Few issues I am getting , from time to time the screen will just go black for a few seconds not sure what causes this but can be a bit of a pain… maybe a software issue or the fact I have 2 other screens hooked up who knows . For the money its worth it.
Great screen and you wont be disappointed with it.
Purchased this for my Series X to be able to play games at 1440p at 120fps works flawlessly. With lightning fast response times.
Bought for my husband who loves it. Said it made a huge difference..
It has:
1440p Resolution
165Hz refresh
Freesync and G-Sync compatible
HDR, whilst not mind blowing it is noticeable if you come from an older 1080p SDR monitor. I don’t use the windows HDR feature as its garbage but more games now can auto switch to HDR mode. I haven’t watched any HDR movies yet but I have tested with Resident evil 2 remake and Resident evil village and it looks great with RTX on.
Size of the screen is ample
OSD features are easy to navigate
Built in USB hub which I use for my keyboard and mouse
height, tilt and swivel adjustable stand (amazing for ergonomics)
It has an LED strip built in the back, I don’t know if you can disable this and its a bit “gamery” for me
In conclusion from the monitors I have used over the years including cheaper supposedly 4k HDR monitors that cost less, this is the one to buy. When I can afford a second I will be replacing my second acer 1440p monitor with another one of these.
Works and looks great on the Xbox series X when playing at 120fps , and it’s not bank breaking considering the quality
Looked all over for a monitor that was 1440p IPS and could do 120hz over HDMI for the Xbox series S. This and the BenQ came up and after several comparisons videos/threads this seem to be better. Although I came from a Xbox one (original) and a 1080p TN monitor the combination of the new Xbox graphics and a 1440p monitor are pretty impressive. I predominantly play FPS call of duty/warzone and so having 120hz was a must. The ange feels very snappy and smooth and I do not notice any latency at all. Combine that with pretty impressive graphics and I’m very satisfied.
The monitor settings are pretty straight forward to set up and the monitor features presets for games like FPS which increase brightness in the shadow areas which I tend to use mostly. I suppose it’s a little pricey but I’m quite happy to invest in something that is of fairly high quality and hopefully will last for a good while. Monitor looks quite smart and has ability to move up and down or even rotate if you wish. blue LED at the back is a nice touch also. Would recommend.
