Our Verdict
Dell S2721HGF
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.
