preface
The explosion of the e-sports industry, the prevalence of self-media live broadcasting, and the fact that playing games has become a mainstream pastime, it is natural that e-sports displays have moved from professional to daily. In order to get a better game experience, more and more people began to pay attention to e-sports displays, but the price of display screen effects is expensive, the refresh rate is not enough and afraid of not reaching the effect, the e-sports display light models on the market are mixed and difficult to distinguish, want to pursue cost-effective and have a value-added experience is really so difficult?
Recently with Dell's explosive model S2721DGF division out of the same door dell S2522HG into my sight, not only has the three eye-catching "indicators" of e-sports - 240HZ, 1MS, 1080P, but also has 99% sRGB wide color gamut, support AMDFreeSync Premium technology, as well as Rheinland certified professional anti-blue light technology, etc., after the key price reduction to bring the same price point of no high-performance experience, sure satisfaction are compared, Let's take a look at the performance of the Dell S2522HG.
Exterior design
The outer packaging is not much to say here, and the design elements of the previous S2721DGF are similar. Take all the accessories out of the box and take a quick look at the Dell S2522HG monitor and its accessories that you're assembling next.
Dell's monitor installation has always been very convenient, greatly reducing the difficulty of installation, the same is true of the Dell S2522HG, the base and bracket with manually installed screws tightened, and then buckled into the back bayonet of the monitor, the whole machine is installed successfully.
The front of the Dell S2522HG features a narrow bezel design on three sides, which makes the 24.5-inch screen look wider visually. The middle of the bottom border is designed with a "DELL" logo that can change color, which is a more conventional embellishment design. At the bottom of the logo, there is a touch area and an atmosphere light bar, and the touch area can switch the atmosphere light bar at any time, which is a good experience here. Playing games is sometimes almost a sense of atmosphere, the front of this small light strip design is very good, with the touch switch, like often open, do not like at any time can touch off.
Looking down to see the honeycomb polygon base, compared with the conventional whole baseplate, it is obvious that the base of the Dell S2522HG saves a lot of desktop space, try to shake a few times, the stability is still OK.
Turning to the back, sure e-sports displays are all on the back. The first is a rainbow color-changing logo above, which can be seen with different colors of the logo displayed with the change of angle, which is very compelling.
The trapezoidal area where the bracket is located is designed with an armor grille shape, which really adds a lot of technology to the entire back from a distance. In addition to the design elements, this horizontal grille also has practical functions for heat dissipation and dust protection. There are also some details design, such as the beehive opening on the bracket to facilitate the sorting of wires.
Speaking of brackets, it is necessary to mention a major selling point of Dell S2522HG, that is, the height adjustability of the bracket, up and down, left and right, tilting and rotating, etc., the feel of rotating up is also very good, you can complete the adjustment according to your desktop design, which is a cool design.
Keys & Interface
After talking about the overall appearance, let's take a look at the keys and interfaces of the Dell S2522HG. The button design of the monitor is in the lower left corner of the back, which is just the direction of the front right hand, which is still very convenient to operate. There's a five-way rocker key and four function keys, and there's a separate key at the bottom. The menu panel called up by the function button is some of Dell's more classic configurations, and the basic function settings are available.
In terms of interfaces, dell S2522HG is equipped with a very comprehensive interface, but also divided into modules, the main interface in the back, power interface, security lock, HDMI2.0×2, DisplayPort1.2 interface, USB upstream interface and two USB downstream interfaces. The bottom of the bottom bezel on the right side of the back is designed with two USB downstream interfaces and a 3.5mm audio output interface, which meets the various needs of external devices.
Features & Experience
The Dell S2522HG is designed and interfaced to meet the public's imagination of a qualified gaming monitor, and then lights up the screen for experiential testing.
Dell S2522HG is equipped with Fast IPS wide-angle gaming screen, which is a screen with a second response of 240HZ+1ms, with 99% sRGB wide color gamut and VRR technology. Let's test the game "Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5", in the racing scene, thanks to the grayscale response time (GtG) of 1ms, high refresh rate and AMDFreeSync Premium and other technologies, the entire game screen dynamic line is very smooth, the screen has no obvious residual phenomenon. In operations with relatively high degrees of freedom, such as manipulating turns and other actions, natural follow-up, and delay is basically not felt.
When playing Forza Horizon 5, there are a lot of realistic reproductions in the game, such as mexico's active volcanoes, railways, flamingos and other details in the dale S2522HG 1080P perspective is flat.
Try "Original God" again, a more popular game recently, "Original God" is very real in the character's physical strength setting, which also brings simulation dynamics such as flight, swimming, climbing, running, etc., if there is a higher delay or low refresh rate, there will be a strong sense of violation. The Dell S2522HG delivers a pretty good smooth feel for an immersive experience.
Hit the iron while it was hot, tested some 1080P high frame rate video or 4K pictures, can only be said to meet the daily viewing, the picture quality is decent. The angle of the display is changed randomly, and the performance of the viewing angle is also OK, which basically meets expectations.
Write at the end
In fact, after the experience, I feel that the products of "a certain" friendly business, in addition to the difference in appearance, the performance is basically the same, but the most important point is that the cost performance is higher. Dell S2522HG adds new design elements based on the general level of gaming screens, while supporting personalized presets to deal with practical features such as various types of games, of course, the brand is also very strong, excellent panel protection plan and 3-year advanced replacement service to provide reliable protection for products.
If you are struggling, then this comprehensive strength and cost-effective coexistence of e-sports monitors, Dell S2522HG is worth trying.
