The Dell S2721HGF is a great budget gaming monitor with a curved screen. It delivers smooth and responsive gameplay thanks to its low input lag, excellent response time, and 144Hz refresh rate. It has an optional Black Frame Insertion feature that can improve motion clarity, and it supports variable refresh rate technology to reduce screen tearing. It has a high contrast ratio to produce deep blacks, making it a good option for dark rooms, and it provides good visibility in bright settings. Although it has a VA panel, the viewing angles are okay, good enough for sharing content casually or playing co-op games. However, images still look slightly inaccurate from the side and might not be ideal for sharing work that requires accuracy. Lastly, it doesn't support HDR, and it only allows for height and tilt adjustments.

Our Verdict

7.3 Mixed Usage

The Dell S2721HGF is decent for most uses. It has low input lag, fast response time, and a high refresh rate, making it great for gaming. However, it's only decent for work and media consumption, mainly due to its 1080p resolution and poor ergonomics. Its viewing angles are okay, better than most VA panels. They're good enough for sharing content casually or co-op gaming, but not for sharing work that requires image accuracy. Unfortunately, it doesn't support HDR.

Pros
  • High contrast ratio.
  • Good reflection handling.
  • Large screen size.
Cons
  • Poor ergonomics.
  • 1080p resolution might be too low for some.
  • Images look slightly inaccurate from the side.
7.3 Office

The Dell S2721HGF is decent for office use. It has a large screen that allows you to open multiple windows side-by-side; however, the 1080p resolution might be too low for some. The viewing angles are okay, good enough for sharing work such as Word documents or Excel spreadsheets, but there's still some loss of image accuracy when viewed from the side, so it might not be ideal if you need to share work that requires precision. Unfortunately, the ergonomics are sub-par as it only allows for height and tilt adjustments.

Pros
  • High contrast ratio.
  • Good reflection handling.
  • Large screen size.
Cons
  • Poor ergonomics.
  • 1080p resolution might be too low for some.
  • Images look slightly inaccurate from the side.

The Dell S2721HGF is great for gaming. It has excellent response time, low input lag, and a 144Hz refresh rate, resulting in smooth and responsive gameplay. It supports Adaptive Sync and is compatible with FreeSync and G-SYNC to reduce screen tearing. Its 1080p resolution isn't the most immersive, but it helps to achieve a higher frame rate, especially for those with lower-end hardware. It has a VA panel with a high contrast ratio, allowing it to produce deep blacks, great for gaming in the dark.

Pros
  • High refresh rate.
  • Excellent response time.
  • High contrast ratio.
  • Large screen size.
Cons
  • Poor ergonomics.
  • 1080p resolution might be too low for some.
7.0 Multimedia

The Dell S2721HGF is decent for media consumption. It has a large 27 inch screen that feels immersive, but the 1080p resolution might be too low for some. It handles reflections well and gets bright enough to fight glare in well-lit rooms, and it has a high contrast ratio that makes it great for dark rooms. The viewing angles are okay and should be good enough for sharing content casually, although there's still some loss of image accuracy when viewed from the side. Unfortunately, it doesn't support HDR.

Pros
  • High contrast ratio.
  • Good reflection handling.
  • Large screen size.
Cons
  • Poor ergonomics.
  • 1080p resolution might be too low for some.
  • No HDR support.
7.0 Media Creation

The Dell S2721HGF is decent for content creation. It has an excellent SDR color gamut with near-full sRGB coverage and good Adobe RGB coverage. The screen provides plenty of space for multitasking, but the 1080p might not be enough for some people. Sadly, while the viewing angles are okay and quite good for a VA panel, images still look slightly inaccurate when viewed from the side. Also, the ergonomics are poor, so it might be hard to place the screen at your optimal viewing position.

Pros
  • High contrast ratio.
  • Good reflection handling.
  • Excellent SDR color gamut.
  • Large screen size.
Cons
  • Poor ergonomics.
  • 1080p resolution might be too low for some.
  • Images look slightly inaccurate from the side.
  • No HDR support.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the Dell S2721HGF 27 inch gaming monitor, and it's the only size available. There are other similar monitors with various configurations, some of which you can see in the table below.

Model Size Panel Type Resolution Refresh Rate Curved
S2721HGF 27" VA 1920 x 1080 165Hz Yes
S2721DGF 27" IPS 2560 x 1440 165Hz No
S2421HGF 24" TN 1920 x 1080 144Hz No
S3220DGF 32" VA 2560 x 1440 165Hz Yes

If someone comes across a different type of panel or their Dell S2721HGF doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we'll update the review. Note that some tests, such as gray uniformity, may vary between individual units.

Our unit was manufactured in October 2020; you can see the label here.

Compared To Other Monitors

The Dell S2721HGF is a great budget gaming monitor. However, its 1080p resolution might be too low for some, especially for work or media consumption. The AOC CQ27G2 is a great 1440p option that performs similarly gaming-wise, but it doesn't get as bright to combat glare, and it has narrower viewing angles. For more options, check out our recommendations for the best budget gaming monitors, the best 1080p monitors, and the best 27 inch monitors.

Dell S2721DGF

Overall, the Dell S2721DGF performs better than the Dell S2721HGF. The S2721DGF has a 1440p resolution compared to the S2721HGF's 1080p and a higher 165Hz refresh rate. It also has a better response time at max refresh rate and 60Hz, resulting in clearer images in fast-moving scenes. The S2721DGF has an IPS panel with much wider viewing angles, and the stand allows for more ergonomic adjustments, making it a better choice for sharing content or playing co-op games. If you often game in the dark, the S2721HGF might be a better choice due to its higher contrast ratio.

AOC CQ27G2

The Dell S2721HGF and the AOC CQ27G2 score similarly overall; however, there are a few differences between them. The AOC has a higher 1440p resolution compared to the Dell's 1080p, making it a better choice if you also use it for work, but its response time isn't as good as the Dell's, especially in dark scenes. Both monitors have VA panels that are well-suited for dark rooms; however, the Dell is better for well-lit rooms because it gets a lot brighter. If you often share your screen with others, the Dell has wider viewing angles, but it doesn't allow for any swivel adjustment, which the AOC does.

HP X24ih

The HP X24ih and the Dell S2721DGF are two great gaming monitors with different panel types. The HP has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles, and it also has a much quicker response time that results in smoother motion. However, the VA panel on the Dell provides a better contrast ratio, making it a better choice for dark room gaming. Other than that, they each have FreeSync support and low input lag for gaming.

Dell G2722HS

The Dell S2721HGF and the Dell G2722HS are both entry-level 1080p gaming monitors, but there are a few differences between them. The G2722HS has a slightly higher 165Hz refresh rate compared to 144Hz on the S2721HGF, and it has wider viewing angles, but the S2721HGF performs better in dark rooms as it has higher contrast. The G2722HS is also better for bright rooms because it has better reflection handling and improved peak brightness. Lastly, the G2722HS has better motion handling because it has a quicker response time at any refresh rate, and there isn't any black smearing.

MSI Optix G27C5

The Dell S2721HGF and the MSI Optix G27C5 are both 27 inch VA panel gaming monitors with a 1080p resolution. The MSI has a slightly higher 165Hz refresh rate compared to the Dell's 144Hz; however, the Dell has a much better response time, especially in dark scenes. The Dell has better viewing angles, one of the best among VA panel monitors, and it gets brighter to combat glare. If you care about color accuracy or want to use it for content creation, the Dell has better accuracy out of the box, but the MSI has a better SDR color gamut.

Samsung Odyssey G5 C27G55T

The Dell S2721HGF and the Samsung Odyssey G5 C27G55T are both 27-inch, 144Hz VA panel monitors, but the Samsung has a 1440p resolution while the Dell is 1080p. The Dell has a better response time, especially in dark scenes. It has better ergonomics because it allows for height adjustment, and the viewing angles are better, quite good for a VA panel. The Dell gets brighter to combat glare; however, you might still have some visibility issues in very well-lit, sunny environments. The Samsung has HDR support, but it doesn't add much since it can't display a wide color gamut.

Acer Nitro VG271 Pbmiipx

The Dell S2721HGF and the Acer Nitro VG271 Pbmiipx are both 1080p 144Hz monitors and very similar in terms of gaming performance. The main difference is the panel type. The Dell has a VA panel that makes it a better choice for dark rooms, while the Acer has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles. The Acer is better for bright rooms due to its higher peak brightness, and it supports HDR. Also, it has a faster total response time at 60Hz with less overshoot, making it a better choice for 60fps console gaming.

ASUS VG279Q

The Dell S2721HGF and the ASUS VG279Q have very similar gaming performance as they're both 1080p monitors with a 144Hz refresh rate, excellent response time, and low input lag. The main difference is that the Dell has a VA panel and is better suited for dark rooms, while the ASUS has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles. The ASUS is also a better choice for well-lit environments because it gets brighter, and it offers more ergonomic adjustments, including a wide swivel range and rotation to portrait mode. Also, if you want to use it for 60fps console gaming, the ASUS has a better response time at 60Hz.

Samsung Odyssey G3 F27G35T

The Dell S2721HGF and the Samsung Odyssey G3 F27G35T are both decent monitors. They share similar characteristics with VA panels, a 1080p resolution, and 144Hz refresh rate, but the Dell is curved while the Samsung is flat. The Dell is a bit better for gaming mainly because of its quick response times, especially at its max refresh rate, so motion looks better. The Dell is also a bit better for use in bright rooms because it has better reflection handling and higher peak brightness. However, the Samsung has a more ergonomic stand as you can swivel it or rotate it into portrait mode.

Lenovo ThinkVision M14

The Dell S2721HGF is better overall than the Lenovo ThinkVision M14, mainly because they're for different uses. The Dell is a curved screen monitor designed with gamers in mind as it has a higher 144Hz refresh rate, VRR support, and much quicker response times. It's also a better choice for use in dark rooms because it has a much higher native contrast ratio. For well-lit rooms, the Dell gets brighter and has better reflection handling. On the other hand, the Lenovo is a portable monitor meant for on-the-go use. It has a smaller screen, resulting in a higher pixel density and better text clarity.
