27" Dell S2718HX gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The Dell S2718HX is a relatively new monitor. The monitor does not have a VESA mount. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. In terms of pixel density, the Dell S2718HX has an low density of 81 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality. For the average response rate, the Dell S2718HX scores 9 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The minimum response rate of Dell S2718HX is 6 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 48 Hz. The Dell S2718HX has no Display Port and which is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. For graphics color quality, the Dell S2718HX has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. The Dell S2718HX has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. Dell S2718HX has a total input lag of 16.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. The brightness of Dell S2718HX is lower than other monitors.
