Dell G2724D: Standard-bearer for budget gaming monitors

Gamers looking to buy a monitor on a budget have a lot of choices, but sorting through them can be difficult. Small flaws and details can hold back the appeal of many inexpensive monitors. The Dell G2724D (fave.co/3XM0357) is an alluring and reliable budget pick that delivers everything gamers expect and has no significant flaws.

SPECS AND FEATURES

The Dell G2724D's specifications are typical for a budget gaming monitor sold at $300 or less. It provides 1440p resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, and it supports HDRthough it's only certified for VESA DisplayHDR 400, which is the lowest level of certification provided by VESA.

Display size: 27-inch 16:9 widescreen

Native resolution: 2560x1440

Panel type: IPS LCD

Refresh rate: 165Hz

Adaptive Sync: VESA Adaptive Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, Nvidia G-Sync Compatible

HDR: Yes, VESA DisplayHDR 400

Ports: 1x HDMI 2.1, 2x DisplayPort 1.4

VESA mount: Yes, 100x100mm

Speakers: None

Price: $299.99

There is just one specification that stands out, and that's Adaptive Sync. Dell lists official support for VESA Adaptive Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, and Nvidia G-Sync. Most budget monitors only bother to support AMD FreeSync.

DESIGN

The Dell G2724D has a matte black and gray chassis with racy vents along the rear panel that remind me of window louvers on a vintage sports car. It's appealing and aggressive, yet not so bold that it looks wildly out of place in a home office or living room.
