Dell is not the name you think of for good gaming monitors. Dell owns Alienware which makes great gaming monitors that are up there with Acer, Asus and ViewSonic, but the Dell brand name for the most part is treated as a top tier name brand in business displays. Therefore, it shouldn’t be odd for Dell to make a good gaming monitor. Enter the Dell S2417DG.

The Dell S2417DG (the “S” stands for specialty, the 24 stands for 24 inches, the 17 stands for its 17th  generation design with its angled bottom bezel, the “D” stands for display, and finally the “G” stands for G-Sync) is a 23.8 inch 8-bit color Twisted Nematic Film panel display with G-Sync that drives the display at  144 frames per second. If paired with a good video card the display can be overclocked to 165 frames per second at the hardware level (no display overclocking hack required). The display’s resolution is 2560 X 1440 making it the highest resolution 24” G-Sync gaming display at its price point of around $435 at BH Photo Video.

The S2417DG has an incredibly clear and fast 24” display that is perfect for gaming, and the Quad HD resolution makes games look crisp and clear. The 1 millisecond refresh keeps the game animation both blur and ghosting free, and the 144 frames per second keeps the gaming action fast. The stand, although Dell’s standard 24” business display stand, can vertically raise, lower, tilt, rotate and pivot. It looks like the same as the stand on almost every other business display that Dell makes which is not a bad thing because Dell has been making this stand for several years and for good reason … they just work. The addition of the USB 3 hub, although not functionally necessary for gaming, does provide an easy way to connect flash drives and portable hard drives, and other accessories.

The fact that it is an 8-bit TN panel means that it has a limited viewing angle as it is using technology from a couple years ago (that said if you are in the middle of working or gaming you are not going to try to do either  from more than a 45 or -45 degrees from center). There is also noticeable banding in any gradiation of artwork or slower moving scenes in video. The panel also has some bright light bleed around the edges. It’s not so apparent when you are watching bright scenes in movies and video games, or when you are working, but when you watch darker nighttime scenes in movies and games the light bleed becomes slightly apparent (for me when I am playing video games, I barely notice it).

This gaming monitor is for anyone who wants the killer features of a G-Sync gaming monitor with a 24” fast TN based Quad HD (2560 X 1440) 24” panel (for the record this is the only Quad HD G-Sync 24” monitor on the market) for the price of a 25” Full HD (1920 X 1080) G-Sync display. It is also a great gaming monitor for those who do not care about “gamer style,” and led lighting because this monitor deceptively looks like a business monitor which will fit in a work environment especially with its ergonomic stand.
