Dell G2723H: An affordable 280Hz monitor

Want to play games at a very high refresh rate on a modest budget? That used to be impossible, but a rapid decline in pricing has led to new, affordable options like the Dell G2723H. This monitor packs a refresh rate up to 280Hz for as low as $260 on sale—and while image quality isn’t superb, it should be enough for most owners.

THE SPECS

The Dell G2723H is part of a wave of 1080p, 240Hz to 280Hz monitors washing across the

The design of the Dell G

globe in 2022. Refresh rate is the star of this show, as the G2723H otherwise makes few notable claims. It doesn’t promise a wide color gamut or HDR, nor does it even have built-in speakers.

Display size: 27-inch

Native resolution: 1,920×1,080

Panel type: IPS

Refresh rate: 280Hz

HDR: No

Ports: 2× HDMI 2.0, 1× DisplayPort 1.4, headphones-out, 4× USB-A 3.2 Gen 1

Stand adjustment: Height, tilt, swivel,pivot

VESA mount: 100mm×100mm

Speakers: None

Price: $489.99 ($369.99 typical)

At this price, however, the lack of extras is easier to forgive. Monitors with a refresh rate this high were selling for $500 or more a few years ago.
