Product details

The Dell S2721DGF is a modern, large 27" gaming monitor that combines short response times, high resolution, good color accuracy, and very high refresh rates to create an exceptionally smooth and realistic gaming experience. At the same time, it supports gaming-centric features like anti-tearing for both NVIDIA and AMD-based graphics cards, making it an excellent choice for high-end gaming PCs. Additionally, it offers flexible ergonomic settings and various eye-care features for maximum comfort during long gaming sessions. This monitor features an IPS panel (In-Plane Switching). The IPS technology provides two significant advantages: it delivers a very wide viewing angle, allowing multiple viewers to easily see the content at the same time, and it ensures high color accuracy. This makes the monitor suitable for color-sensitive applications such as photo editing.

The Dell S2721DGF is actually a clone of the well-known LG 27GL850, which was the first monitor with the 144 Hz fast nano-IPS panel. In the meantime, there are other models with the same panel, such as the much too expensive Viewsonic XG270QG, the HP Omen 27i or the Dell S2721DGF...
