This screen has received very good reviews, it was previously £249 and the lowest its been is around £235, but its just dropped to £186.36.
Just to get a couple of things out of the way. Yes its a TN panel which isn't the best for colours and viewing angles, and yes some people want a larger screen and higher res. But for those wanting a fast gaming screen at a reasonable price its great and is generally considered the best option for a 144hz 24".

I have two 27" monitors
- Dell S2716DG (TN, 1440p, 144hz and G-Sync)
- Dell Ultrasharp U2713H (IPS and 1440p)
I would never play games on my IPS, the responsiveness of a TN and 144hz is just unreal. It really is THAT much of a difference. You need to try one to really know.
I would never edit video/images or watch video on my TN... The colour accuracy on IPS and general quality of what is displayed is fantastic.
Yes you can get IPS 144hz displays - but for me personally i still think TN is the way to go for gaming.
I've also never understood the "Viewing Angles" argument... If you're younger and using it as both a PC monitor you sit at and perhaps a TV for when you're laying in bed - yes i can see that becoming a bit problematic.. But if like me it's sat in your home office, each display is always sat in direct view.

Sorry but that is rubbish. The bad viewing angles are intrinsic to the underlying way TN works. You will never find a TN that can be viewed perfectly from a wide view or high above/low down. It just doesn't exist.

He didn't state that. You may have inferred that, but that makes you incorrect in that.

Nothing wrong with viewing angles on TN panels unless they are budget screens.

Rubbish, had a pg278q which was a top of the line tn panel and the viewing angles were awful.

Perfectly? No you are correct, but they are still miles better than they used to be.
Still the colour reproduction is not as good. But then again they are cheap...

Once you've gamed with 144hz, it's very hard to go back.... Buttery smooth! I'm gutted that I sold my 27" 144hz monitor after buying it for £173 a while back.

Yes agreed, a lot better, but it's misleading to state that TN technology has no relevance to viewing angles. Just plain wrong.

I have a 32 inch monitor that I use on my desk but then sometimes like to lie on the couch and watch a film or Sky Go. I have a TN beside my main monitor and it's completely unreadable in that situation.

Not to mention the far better colours with IPS.
