Dell S2718H 27in Monitor Review

The Dell S2718H is not a screen that will blow anybody away. However, image quality is decent and, so long as you stick to the presets, there are plenty of configuration options for everyday usage. Most importantly, it's not that expensive for a 27in screen, particularly one using an IPS panel.

Nevertheless, the top resolution is only 1,920 x 1,080 with a 60Hz refresh. Although the built-in speakers are pretty good for monitor audio, there's no USB hub included, and only tilt can be adjusted.

Overall, this is a reasonable screen for the money, but it's best suited to office use, multimedia viewing, and occasional gaming (with AMD graphics to take advantage of the FreeSync). If your needs are more discerning, we recommend you up your budget and look elsewhere.

The Dell S2718H is available from Dell UK HERE for £272

Pros:

  • Keen price for 27in screen.
  • Reasonable colour accuracy, which improves with calibration.
  • Decent 12W speaker module.

Cons:

  • Only 1,920 x 1,080 resolution.
  • 60Hz refresh in Full HD.
  • Only tilt adjustment.
  • No USB hub.

Kitguru Says: The Dell S2718H is commendable value for a 27in screen, with good performance for the price, but it's only Full HD and not packed with features other than above-average built-in speakers.

  1. n ice looking panel for the money

  2. Imho is overpriced for a FHD 60hz even if the panel is a decent ips. You can find similar panels at 1440p or 100(+)hz

  3. waste @ 1080p

  4. What about the sRGB gamut? This one is over %99.

  5. This looks like a decent “compromise monitor” for console users. PS3 games really do not scale well to 4K at all. So, if someone has a PS3 and PS4 Pro in the same room, the PS3 content will look acceptable on a 1080p monitor and even though they can’t use the PS4 Pro in 4K they can at least play games in HDR. Shame about the stand not being vertically adjustable though. Seems to be an issue with lots of Dell monitors these-days.

  6. Just returned this monitor after a few days trying to live with it. The build quality isn’t great and brightness was much less uniform on mine compared to this review model. The so-called HDR is a joke. If it was £75 cheaper it would be easier to more generous but I think most people expect more from a monitor at this price point.
