Dell S2725HS 27 Inch Monitor FHD 1920x1080 Display 100Hz Refresh Rate 1500 1 Contrast Ratio T V Rheinland

Gosh, where to even begin? I've been using Dell Monitors for over a decade now - regardless of what brand PC system I was using. I've always found Dell monitors to be a cut above, given what you spend. Over the past week, one of the audio components that I had on a shelf directly above my previous Dell monitor, fell from the shelf, hit the table and bounced back into my Dell screen, smashing it - talk about a negative surprise. So I had to find a PC monitor quickly to replace it. Problem is that I needed a monitor whose height adjustment capabilities were a step above. So I called Dell, talked to a sales agent, who asked me what exactly I was looking for. I told him that my PC monitor needed to have substantial height (lowering and raising the monitor) capabilities. After researching a variety of PC monitors, he recommended that I try the Dell S2425HS monitor, which had a height adjustment capability of 5"-6", which is phenomenal. You see, my monitor is sitting within a small nook space (height-wise), and I needed to have a monitor that would allow me to lower the screen substantially to fit into this space. So I thanked him and immediately ordered it on Amazon - and it arrived the very next day. When it arrived, I was gratified to see the same care and packing of the monitor that Dell had always provided. Assembly was quick, and I was then surprised to discover that there were two 5-watt speakers (I don't know the actual size of the speakers) integrated inside the monitor. After connecting everything and subsequently doing a color calibration of this new S2425HS (I do lots of photography, and I need an accurate monitor to process digital photos), I was gratified to then witness a wonderful-looking screen. As an aside, I also am an audiophile that maintains a desktop, near-field audio system around my PC. The gear used includes names such as KEF, Adcom, NAD, SMSL, and more - all providing me with a glorious audio experience while working. And believe it or not, the biggest surprise for me - besides the excellent screen qualities of this new S2425HS - was the sound of these two 5 watt built-in speakers. In the settings menu on the monitor, you have the options to tune the sound of the integrated speakers for Movie, Music, Standard, Sports, and a few other modes. So I set mine to music, fully expecting these two little speakers to sound tinny and compressed due to their small size. But boy was I surprised. The speakers had a fuller-bodied sound with excellent separation and an almost holographic sound quality while listening to a variety of materials. It is a good 5 steps above the typical built-in tiny speakers you get with some other monitors. This came as a welcomed treat because I periodically like to give my audiophile amps and associated electronics a rest. In fact, I was watching a band perform on YouTube just a few minutes ago, and for a second, I thought I was listening through my KEF speakers. Of course, when the bass section was performing, I realized then that I was listening to the PC monitor speakers because let's face it, those tiny speakers were limited with what they could do. So all in all, I am absolutely delighted with this quality-made Dell S2425HS monitor. It provides superb screen and picture qualities, and also gives you the bonus of including two small, yet highly competent speakers that provide excellent sound qualities, despite their small size. Highly recommended! Read more

This monitor is an amazing value for all of its features! Clarity is excellent. Vivid bright colors with very clear images, and great sound built in. Could not be more impressed! Very easy to connect, simply plug in and go. Read more

This is a solid performing monitor for the price. The package arrived in the OEM monitor box, no outer packaging and had a slight ding in the box (speaking of dings, would be nice if !@#$% UPS could manage to F@#$ing deliver a package within their estimated delivery window ... but I digress. Easy set-up, you'll put the 3 piece stand together then attach it to the monitor. Dell has the box and stand designed to make this a super simple process. The stand allows you to adjust the heck out of this monitor in hight, tilt, and swivel, so your covered to adjust quite a bit to suite your set-up. The monitor, overall, has a high cost to performance value. By that I mean for a monitor you can pick up for under $120, it has a very good performance. The matte finish on the screen is good, the 100Hz refresh rate is excellent for this price point, as well as the color and clarity of the screen. I am using it as a backup monitor until my other Dell portable monitor arrives for my set-up, and other than the form factor, this monitor would work perfect for my needs at my secondary workstation in my home. Good monitor, great price, highly recommended. Read more

This review is for the S2725HS 27in model. This is a very nice, high value, well featured monitor. Very well thought out and designed, and certainly a complete package sort of item in its budget friendly segment. Aside from its clear and vibrant picture with good color accuracy and contrast ratio, its the extras here not found on many other monitors in this segment that set it apart. It features a fully adjustable stand that can be easily set for height, tilt, angle (swivel), and also rotate 180 degrees. It's base is anti-slip, which adds even more stability to an already sturdy set up. Two HDMI ports mean you can seamlessly connect two devices to the monitor, which is very nice for the casual gamer such as myself. And its built in speakers are very good for what they are. The unit lacks USB ports, a headphone jack, and has no audio in/out features otherwise. But given the quality of the audio, the less demanding user won't miss separate speaker options. The audio output quality is on par with popular, basic 2.0 computer speakers on the market today, if not quite as crisp. They're simply a convenient alternative to have, whether you want a less cluttered set up, an alternative to your current external speakers, or need an additional audio source for a connected device. As for myself, it was the former and latter. I have a very small space to work with and added a game console to it. I wanted to upgrade my aging and average monitor to go with, and this monitor made it all plug and play, no additional hardware or wiring needed. Two HDMI ports for laptop and game console, acceptable built in speakers for said game console, and it was a wrap. Simple, space efficient, and easy. I like that. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy about this monitor, and its attractive and a bit stylish. It has nice cable management touches, and a fair enough range of adjustability concerning its set up and physical footprint. Considering its a standard FHD monitor with a 27in display, it also doesn't lack clarity or sharpness concerning its 81ppi count. It is a good, colorful, and even vibrant panel in its segment with nice clarity and good viewing angles. If you are obsessed about perfectly sharp text and inspect it with the macro lens on your cellphone to verify it meets personal standards, don't get this. Otherwise its more than fine for us regular folks. And the "Eye Comfort" rating is no joke or gimmick. It may sound silly but this monitor is almost relaxing to look at. It never bothers, strains the eyes, or fatigues. Easy to sit before and task with for hours at a time. Good value, quality build, stylish looks, acceptable built in audio, quality panel, and easy to live with. I could have done so much worse and am glad I didn't. Very solid, budget friendly choice.
