Right now at Amazon, you can find the Dell S2421HS 24 inch FHD monitor for one of its lowest prices to date. It usually goes for around $159 but today it's dropped all the way down to just $99. As far as monitors in its class go, this one is worth a close look especially at this price. It's AMD FreeSync certified and is plenty capable for both casual users and even gamers looking for a quality screen while shopping on a budget.

This isn't the first time the monitor has had a dramatic price drop. The S2421HS fell to $109 just a month ago so it may be on a trend. No expiration has been specified for the offer so it's not clear for how long it will be made available at this rate.

This monitor is AMD FreeSync certified which ensures a dense resolution and high refresh rate. In this case, the Dell S2421HS has an FHD resolution of 1920 x 1080px and it can reach a refresh rate as high as 75Hz. Because this is a budget screen, there are a few caveats like a brightness that caps out at 250 nits, making it more suitable for indoor, low-lit environments.

The Dell S2421HS features a 24-inch IPS panel with a minimum response time of 4ms. There are a couple of video input options to choose from including both DisplayPort and HDMI. A 3.5mm audio jack is provided for connecting external audio devices.

    75Hz

    No longer freesync certified under new guidelines of 144Hz minimum. They are dumping these because of the requirements change means they can't label new stock as freesync compatible. And I agree. That's a very low rate in terms of freesync. Your operative range would be 30Hz at the low end!

    Wait, are you sure? I thought that it was based on when the model was initially released, and not when any individual monitor of that model number was manufactured.

    digitalgriffin is correct. As of at least March 7 2024, to gain FreeSync certification, a gaming monitor with an under-4K resolution needs to have a 144Hz refresh rate.
    So they seem to simply be dumping old (edit: models of) monitors that can no longer be branded as FreeSync (edit: for new sales)

    This change is not retroactive. They can continue promoting it as FreeSync certified because it was indeed certified as such.

    $100 for a 75hz display is not unusual these days. The 144hz models are dropping to $130 or below.

    Then AMD really dropped the ball. Unless it's written on the box FreeSync V2 or FreeSync 2024 Standard, no one will be able to tell the 2 apart.

    Amd should have rated it FreeSync Level 4, 5, 6. Higher numbers are better and simpler for the customer. The old one being FreeSync Level 1, 2, 3
