HDR (High Dynamic Range) is something of a buzzword (or ‘buzz phrase’) at the moment, with a promise of a richer and more engaging visual experience. The Dell S2318NX, S2418NX and S2718NX combine Dell’s recent ‘InfinityEdge’ design with support for ‘Dell HDR’, giving the user something of a soup of buzzwords to swim in. The ‘InfinityEdge’ name describes models from the manufacturer which currently have the slenderest bezels, comprising a very thin hard outer component and a very slim panel border. The panel border blends seamlessly into the display when it’s switched off, but even when switched on it’s unobtrusive. The slim bezels at all four sides are combined with a minimalistic ‘wireframe’ style stand and a very slim side-profile as well. The power LED is an unobtrusive white slit running vertically down the power button, beside OSD (On Screen Display Controls) that appear to be illuminated, at least in current press shots.

The monitors feature 23” (S23), 23.8” (S24) and 27” (S27) IPS (In Plane Switching) panels, which we believe specifically to be LG Display AH-IPS panels. The 23” and 27” models have a ‘Low Haze’ treatment, with 1% haze specified. This means they are essentially glossy, but still have a very mild anti-glare treatment to cut back on reflections a bit whilst delivering excellent clarity and vibrant ‘pop’. Current specifications suggest the 23.8” model uses a regular matte anti-glare surface. The resolution for all models is 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), refresh rate 60Hz and viewing angles of 178° specified both horizontally and vertically.
