About this deal

Judging by this review and the others it appears that the contrast is like 25%-30% lower than AUO panels. The GPU driver adjustments can affect shade variety (induce banding) and potentially upset contrast. Use the buttons at the rear of the monitor to access the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu of the monitor. I tried an active adapter and unfortunately that didn't work either so now I am on the hunt for a new monitor.

The Dell is surely the top performer strictly in terms of sample and hold (aka unstrobed) performance, if you don't care about motion blur reduction it surely is a top pick. Press and hold on the joystick for approximately 10 seconds until the HDMI configuration message appears. And certainly any individual calibration done to achieve the ‘6500K’ target or an appropriately balanced green channel could knock more off contrast in some cases than others. Some panels are natively further off the usual desired ‘6500K’ than others or have green channel imbalances, so even the factory default setting could result in a larger shift being needed there.However, you want to be sure your rig can handle it, so you’ll need a fast graphics card, such as the Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti or AMD Radeon 6800. Gamers aspiring to go pro should be looking at monitors in the next tier up, like Acer’s XB253Q GW or Asus’ ROG Strix PG258Q ( and BenQ’s Zowie line, if you can put up with a TN panel). One feature the Dell S2522HG is missing in comparison to its alternatives is Motion Blur Reduction technology. The Dell does have the 240hz selling but again it matches my previous experience in that I get limited usage out of it.

Note: To use the Display Rotation function (Landscape versus Portrait view) with your Dell computer, you require an updated graphics driver that is not included with this monitor. For competitive gaming I can certainly appreciate a further boost in frame and refresh rate, though that’s quite subjective and I consider myself on the sensitive side when it comes to motion performance. For instance, at 144FPS, the monitor changes its refresh rate to 144Hz, so you get 144 whole frames per second without any tearing or stuttering.The "Fast" response time preset has no inverse ghosting, "Super Fast" has a little bit I think, and "Extreme" has a lot. Self-Test Feature Check - The self-test feature check on the Dell S2522HG monitor allows you to check whether the monitor is functioning properly. From what I remember of the experience it did make the image slightly more clear but not really anything dramatic. It’s worth noting that both the 2x USB downstream ports and the Headphone out are located on the bottom front bezel, which is a bold move by Dell but offers a nice distinction from other versions. As for looking response times using the blurbusters UFO ghosting test I did not get the conclusions as the Russian review.

Mediafire was the quickest way I could think of to upload them while retaining the filenames to indicate which picture was which. Granted it’s a sample of 1, although that reviewers Alienware AW2521HF measurements seem at least more in line with other reviews such as yours as well. The Dell S2522HG boasts a 1ms response time, which is the recommended level for competitive gaming, in addition to the 240hz.I’m just not really sure how realistic 144fps+ for at least AAA single player games are due to the moving performance target barring something such as temporal projection or interpolation being implemented. Odd about the ‘interlace pattern artifacts’ when it first powers on, but as long as it quickly disappears and doesn’t occur once it’s on it’s probably normal and nothing to worry about. Some argue that 240hz isn’t necessary because the difference between 144hz and 240hz isn’t significant, and it can be expensive. If you’re also using your monitor for work or other types of games as well, then a 1440p 144Hz display is worth considering too. It's plugged in and ready to go on its factory settings as well as the automatic display settings on the G14 (100% screen size, 1920x1080).
