165 Hz, 1 ms and curved, this is the new cheap gaming monitor from Dell


Dell is one of the most famous manufacturers in the monitor industry, and its displays always stand out for their great image quality as well as their robust, durable construction. Now the manufacturer has launched a new gaming monitor in Japan, still without an official name for what it seems, which stands out for providing some interesting features for gaming and for a fairly low price, just 179 euros to change.

Most likely the monitor is within the UltraSharp category usual in this manufacturer, but curiously they have not yet named it. The fact is that it is already in the Japanese market at a price of 22,980 yen, about 179 euros at the exchange rate, although this price is without taxes so the corresponding VAT will have to be added and when it arrives in Europe it will be a little more expensive at about 219 euros most likely. All in all, it is a very interesting price for the features it provides as we will see below.

Dell's new cheap gaming monitor

This Dell monitor carries a 23.6-inch LED-VA panel with Full HD resolution, the most common for games, although it is not so common for this screen to be curved (in this case it has 1500R curvature, quite suitable for The sides of the monitor are at the same distance from your eyes as the center of the screen, thus making the feeling of immersion greater).

It is also more than remarkable that its response time is only 1 ms (MRSP, GtG is 4 ms), although this is quite common in LED-VA panels; Not so common is its 165 Hz refresh rate, and although it is not indicated if it is compatible with adaptive frequency technology or NVIDIA G-Sync, it does support AMD FreeSync Premium technology.

Continuing with the specifications of the panel, it is worth mentioning that it has 178 degree viewing angles, color coverage of 99% of the sRGB space and technologies such as flicker free that eliminates flicker in the image, "Comfort View" that reduces the emission blue light (Low Blue Light) and “dark stabilizer” that stabilizes the black balance to improve visibility in dark scenes. For gaming, it also has a function to display the FPS in an overlay directly on the monitor.

Finally, it should be noted (and that is why we suspect that it could be part of the UltraSharp family of monitors) the base is in one piece and allows adjustment in height, rotation and inclination, and can even put the screen vertically if you want (it also has anchor VESA 100). As video inputs, it incorporates two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4, as well as a headphone output.

The new era of cheap monitors?

On-screen display technology is advancing by leaps and bounds in recent times, and this makes current technologies more prevalent and cheaper to manufacture, so the prices we pay for monitors (despite the shortage) are every time a little lower. Proof of this is that a monitor with these characteristics 5 years ago would easily cost us more than double.

Today OLED panels and even those with mini LED or micro LED backlights are beginning to prevail in the market for their better image quality, although they are still quite expensive. The good news is that cheap gaming monitors are increasingly within the reach of the average user, and whoever wants to be able to benefit from the advanced specifications they carry does not have to scratch their pocket too much.
