Reviewers praised the Dell S2721DGF as a worthwhile pick for multiple uses. They were impressed with its 165Hz refresh rate, wide viewing angles, and excellent ergonomics. However, they didn’t like that it had a low contrast ratio and low brightness levels – issues it has in common with the Lenovo Legion Y27Q-20.

The Dell S2721DGF is a 27-inch entry-level display that was announced in early 2021. It has a decent 165Hz refresh rate for smooth transitions and a rapid 6.3ms response time that is quite common with some of the best computer monitors around since keeps fast motion sequences blur-free. Its low input lag allows for responsive gaming, and its impressive build quality keeps it in good condition over long-term use like most top-tier gaming monitors. Unlike the Dell S2721D, it can render HDR content, and thanks to its wide viewing angles, it is an ideal pick for group viewing. The monitor is also easy to adjust and has excellent reflection handling for use in a brightly lit environment.

Reasons to Avoid
Most reviewers agreed that the Dell S2721DGF is an excellent pick for a wide range of uses. Experts from Rtings hailed it as a great option for use at the office thanks to its wide viewing angles and outstanding ergonomics. They also liked its ability to display a wide range of colors and credited this to its wide color gamut. Testers from Tom’s Hardware were also impressed with its 165Hz refresh rate, as they noted that there were no occasions of screen tearing during their gaming tests. Also commended was the monitor’s reflection handling, as reviewers established that content remained well visible in a bright setting. Still, critics were not too happy about the monitor’s low contrast ratio, as they found that it made blacks appear gray in a dark room. They also felt that its peak brightness was a little disappointing and that its color accuracy required a lot of calibration.

The Dell S2721DGF ranks pretty well against the Dell S2722DGM. It supports HDR content, has better reflection handling, offers better viewing angles, and is much easier to adjust.
However, the S2272DGM remains the ideal pick for dark room viewing, thanks to its higher contrast levels.
The Dell S2721DGF features much better reflection handling, a higher 165Hz refresh rate, and better ergonomics than the LG 27GL850-B, while the LG monitor has much better color accuracy out of the box.
The Dell S2721DGF is similar to the Gigabyte M27Q in most aspects, with the one major difference being that the Dell monitor is way easier to adjust.
