The monitor came in really quick in a day so kudo to Amazon. Items in a box would be a typical Dell's inventory: Monitor, stand, base, CD, and cables. The base and stand are easy to assemble; it has a thumb screw which would require no tool to assemble. Vesa mount for those who want to mount them on with their Vesa mount set up. Upon running few different games, I have noticed in FPS performance improvement. The most improvement that quite noticeable is Rainbow Six Siege. Everything run much smoother with no tears or stuttering. I turned on G-Sync and overclock the monitor to 165Hz which make the game performance much better. The color doesn't pop as much as IPS but that is to be expect, however, I think it's easier on the eyes then gaming on IPS monitor. The color isn't too bright or too crisp where it feels like the screen is stabbing your eyes. This monitor feels mellow and soft.
PROS:
- Easy to assemble; require no tools.
- High refresh rate and response time; FPS improvement with very much noticeable difference for fast pace game like first person shooter.
- User friendly OSD menu. It was easy to overclock to 165Hz.
- Useful USB hub (4 USB ports); This is really great because I'm about to run out of USB port and I didn't really want to use front USB port for aesthetic. I use it to extend my gaming keypad which locate the furthest away from the tower create more slack and better looking cable management. I also use it to charge my wireless headset; if the monitor is on power saving mode, the monitor will turn off the screen but still provide power to USB hub.
- Good cable management stand; I can hide the cable through pass-through hole and down under my desk. It looks nice and neat.
- Subjective pros: I think TN panel is much easier on the eye for long gaming session due to the screen is not as bright or crisp as IPS. For gaming, I can deal with the color accuracy, it's not a big deal for gaming.
CON:
- The color is not as bright or sharp compare to IPS panel (this is to be expect of TN panel, I put it down as a con since some people does see it as a negative of TN vs IPS)
- Viewing angle is smaller compare to IPS so you'll have to be in front of the monitor to see best of it. (This is a nature of TN panel so it's to be expected.)
- Lack of manual. This is really just a nit-picking point. It's not really that big of a deal because you can always download user manual from the internet at anytime, but it can be useful to have printed copy manual to look up some initial settings (there's a quick setup guide but that just shows you how to hooks up everything.) Then again, not many people read manuals anyway. It would just waste of resource and money to produce printed user manual.
Conclusion:
This is a great monitor with the quality and price range. It's hard to find 24" monitor with 2560x1440 resolution and 144Hz under 400 dollars. The quality is great so far, I'll update later if there's any deterioration in quality. I would recommend this monitor for gamers rather than content creator. It would benefit most with fast pace games, I don't think you'll see that much improvement playing Leagues of Legend or simulation games.

Alright. For anyone wondering about durability and reliability, It's been nearly two years that I bought it. Granted I do take almost obsessive care of my things, but the monitor is still in perfect shape. No dead pixels, scratches, or anything that might suggest wear. I was worried about quality due to it being an already old model back in 2016, but it does not cost as much as it does for nothing. It was a high-end monitor during its time, and it shows. I love this monitor. It has been a great pairing with my PC.

===================================================================================
EDIT 9/21/2018 It's been a few months. Monitor is doing great despite it was probably very old stock. It requires a lot of setting up, trial and error, but once you get it going, it is a fantastic gaming monitor. I suggest going to the Nvidia forum as well, to properly set Gsync. It's not as easy as just turning it on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay... It was a very difficult choice whether or not to get this monitor. At the price point, you will NEVER find a gaming monitor with G-Sync with a 1440p resolution and a 165hz capability. I mainly bought this monitor to experience a resolution higher than 1080p, and finally get a taste of G-Sync. those two things have definitely exceeded my expectations. 1440p isn't really that different from 1080p, but you will notice it. It is crystal-clear and some details stand out when compared to 1080p. As for G-Sync... That is the absolute way to play a game! Breathtaking... ZERO tearing, ZERO stutter and ZERO input lag. You will not game any other way once you experience it.
Now, for the monitor. I mean, it is a nice monitor and it feel well-build. The appearance may not be for many, as it does look like an office monitor. Compared to my ASUS vg248qe, which looks absolutely beautiful. But that, at the end, is superfluous...
Image wise. This monitor is not the best when it comes to colors. It didn't really take me more than two minutes to set it up, compared to other users that report up to two days of tinkering and changing options. Colors feel dull... there is no saturation, and the gamma is a bit weird. ghosting and invert pixels are horribly noticeable when response time is set to "Fast." I had to turn it to "Normal."
Another thing that bothered me as soon as I got the package was how old and worn the box looked. This unit was sold as new, but it was definitely used before. There was dust at the back of the panel, and some scratches where the mount goes. this monitor was at least used as display at some point.
However, I am willing to ignore that, as at least it did have protective plastic still on, which tells me it wasn't really used for too long. But mainly because of the price. All in all, I'm just impressed on the G-Sync feature and the 1440p resolution.

Downloading and installing drivers:
1) Download the Dell S2417DG monitor drivers directly from the dell website.
2) Select where to extract the installation. I left it as the default directory, we will be deleting this folder after the installation is finished: “C:\Dell\Drivers\3T4DW”
3) Navigate to the extracted directory (i.e. “C:\Dell\Drivers\3T4DW”)
4) Run the Dell Monitor Driver Installer program and (optionally) delete the Dell folder when finished.
Optional Overclocking:
5) Within the monitor’s menu, scroll down to display, and set overclock to enable and overclock refresh rate to 165. Using the monitor buttons, select Yes and then hit enter.
6) Right-click on desktop, click display settings, scroll down and select advanced display settings, click Display adapter properties for Display 1 (or whatever number it is if you have more than one monitor), click on the monitor tab, ensure screen refresh rate is set to 165 Hz and hit apply.
Enabling G-Sync:
7) Right-click on desktop, click NVIDIA Control Panel, click “Set up G-SYNC”, click Enable G-Sync, and I chose to enable for full screen mode.
Improving monitor colour:
8) Within the monitor’s menu, set the monitor brightness to 78 and monitor contrast to 68.
9) Within the monitor’s menu, scroll down to Color, set Preset Modes to Custom Color, and hit enter. Set Red to 96%, Green to 99%, and leave Blue at 100%.
10) Within the monitor’s menu, scroll down to Others and set Power Saving to Off. This monitor is known to have some issues when going into Power Saving mode. Not a big deal but can be avoided by this simple step.
11) Back in the NVIDIA Control Panel, click on “Adjust desktop color settings”, select “Use NVIDIA settings” and change Gamma to 0.6. Then scroll down and set Digital vibrance to 70%.
Congratulations, you now have a 1440p 165 Hz TN panel with colour very comparable to an IPS display! These settings are just what I found to personally improve the overall experience of my monitor and come entirely from research online. Enjoy your purchase!
La mejor calibración (según Toms Hardware) es:
Brightness 200cd/m2 66
Brightness 120cd/m2 34
Brightness 100cd/m2 27
Brightness 80cd/m2 19
Brightness 50cd/m2 8
Contrast 68
White Balance Red 96, Green 99, Blue 100
Hay que calibrarlo así porque de fábrica se ve un poco raro cualquier contenido, pero con esta configuración es una belleza.
There is still an issue when monitor gets out of standby (still looking to sort it) because it looses the dithering (windows calibration takes over). For this I just enabled screen standby to 2 hours so there is less chance to get it and in case it happens you can just reboot and it's fine again.
1er écran Gsync, 1er écran chez dell, le prix est salé certe ! Mais la différence est là !
Dans les FPS ou jeux de survie, c'est super, les chutes de framerate violente que l'on peu avoir ne donne plus l'effet de sacadement que l'on peu ressentir habituellement. Résultat plus de headshot sur Fortnite, un up de ranking hallucinant sur overwatch et une fluidité incomparable sur ark LE JEU où tu passes de 90 fps a 40fps en une fraction de seconde avec le chargement de gros build. le 144HZ est un vrai plus si on ce donne la peine de configurer la configuration des jeux pour envoyer les images/s nécessaire pour l'apprécier. Le 2K est un vrai plus et ne change pas trop l'interface des logiciels comparer au 4K qui actuellement peu encore les rendre flou ou étirer
Un peu peur de recevoir un écran par colis, mais tout c'était bien passer.
L'écran le plus chère que j'ai acheter, mais c'est aussi le plus belle écran que j'ai jamais posséder ! Ce faire plaisir a un coup, mais la joie procurer sur cet année en valais la peine.
je recommande ce produit a 200%
