For ease of understanding, the S series of monitors is best divided into two groups. The first group includes relatively inexpensive 24- and 27-inch monitors with Full HD resolution, a response speed of no more than 4 ms, balanced color reproduction, a refresh rate of 75 Hz and mandatory support for AMD FreeSync. To the question “what monitor should a simple video game fan buy?” they usually advise just such universal monitors, on which it is equally convenient to watch the new Stranger Things series or run in the evening with friends in the new COD or Apex Legends. Thanks to the built-in Flicker-Free and ComfortView filters, this monitor is perfect for working with texts, tables, code or projects.


The second group goes to the more upscale Series S models, which are more geared towards gaming. These are quite large, expensive and advanced monitors with screen sizes from 27 to 32 inches and 2K / 4K resolution. As befits high-end gaming monitors, they boast quality color reproduction, lightning-fast response time (1ms with MPRT technology) and support for HDR content. In some particularly interesting cases, the screen refresh rate can reach 240 Hz, and the monitor itself is equipped with NVIDIA G-Sync hardware and software smoother.

What needs to be replaced is Dell's constant juggling of form and substance in search of the perfect formula. Therefore, instead of the usual IPS matrices in the Series S series, modern samples of VA matrices with pumped color reproduction and extended viewing angles are often found. Also, in addition to classic monitors, in this series you can find massive curved screens with a great immersive effect. Series S monitors are price-based and may include a USB hub, speakers, and a USB-C port with fast charging support. Illumination, if it occurs, is extremely rare and in modest quantities.
