Other features on this display include two HDMI 2.1 ports, along with a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection. That leaves flexibility to connect this monitor up to your PC, laptop, and handheld at the same time. The display uses a tilt-capable mount, so you do have flexibility to adjust its position, but if you want a height-adjustable stand included, you can with the otherwise-identical Dell SE2726HGS , albeit at the higher price of $169.99.
The budget-friendly SE2726HG, meanwhile, has a max brightness of 300 nits. It also has a standard response time of 5 ms, but this can (reportedly) be reduced to just 0.5ms by switching to the display’s ‘extreme’ mode in the settings. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included, too, to eliminate screen tearing completely, which is a nice feature on a budget-focused monitor. Nvidia G-Sync support isn’t mentioned, but you’ll often find the two work interchangeably when one or the other is supported on a display, although we can’t confirm that here.
Priced at just $129.99 , this 27-inch Dell SE2726HGS gaming monitor is a strong entry into the market, with a very affordable price that puts it in a strong position against its competitors. This monitor would be a good option for a budget gaming PC build, especially if you’re not looking to reach 1440p or 4K visuals, or as a second (or third) monitor to complement your main display.
