Reviewers from pcmag have found the following***:
The Dell 24 S2421HGF is a well-priced, sturdy, and responsive display. It's just as comfortable in a fast-paced match of Valorant as it is for general content consumption. Its 95% coverage of the sRGB gamut fell short of its rated 100%. Its Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 coverage came in under professional content creators' requirements.

Pros
  • Gorgeous TN panel
  • High Delta E (dE)
  • Low input lag
Cons
  • Mediocre color accuracy

The Dell 24 Gaming Monitor S2421HGF has a 24-inch 1080p screen. It can display only 106.3% of the sRGB color spectrum. The standard preset is dull, making blacks look gray and colors look washed-out. The interface does give you a lot of options, from tinkering with colors.

Pros
  • Decent 1080p resolution
