Dell's Spring Range: New 8th Gen Alienware, Laptops, and Monitors
by Ian Cutress, Anton Shilov & Joe Shields on April 3, 2018 8:00 AM EST2018 S-Series Monitors
Finally, in addition to introduction of new PCs, Dell also refreshed its S-series displays. The new S-series monitors feature ultra-thin InfinityEdge bezels and speakers with enhancements by Waves MaxxAudio.
Dell’s new S-series family of displays consists of three base models: the S2319H+, the S2419H, and the S2719H featuring 23-inch, 24-inch, and 27-inch IPS panels, respectively. In addition, Dell’s new lineup includes the S2319NX, the S2419NX and the S2719NX SKUs with adjustable stands (supporting tilt adjustment). All models are based on panels with an FHD resolution, a 250-nits brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and a 60 Hz refresh rate. The monitors cover 99% of the sRGB color gamut, which is logical as they will be used primarily with Windows-based PCs. For connectivity, the displays use two HDMI connectors, whereas the S2319NX also has a D-Sub input.
The latest Dell S-series monitors come in stylish chassis with glossy backside. A slight disadvantage of the enclosures is that they do not feature VESA mounts, but since far not all offices use display stands with VESA mounts, this limitation is justified. The new S2319H+, the S2419H, and the S2719H LCDs are Dell’s first office monitors featuring ultra-thin InfinityEdge bezels.
The new monitors come with 5 W CinemaSound Waves speakers tuned by Waves MaxxAudio, like many other office LCDs. For customers who don’t need audio Dell offers HN-sufficed models without speakers.

Thanks for the previews! I am a little surprised to see the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (7577) go unmentioned. Wirecutter recommends it https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-budget-... -- 15.6 in ", GTX 1060 Max-Q. Did I overlook this in the review?A5 - Wednesday, April 4, 2018 - link
That model is being replaced by the G3/G5/G7 laptops on page 5. They want to separate it from the rest of the Inspiron 7000 line because it isn't really the same focus.Gunbuster - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
In true Dell fashion they advertise a bunch of options like 6 different screens but have exactly one choice available at launch.Novaguy - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
The lack of a Ryzen alternative for those AMD AIOs is incredibly dissappointing....GTRagnarok - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
I believe the G5 and G7 come with 15" displays only, not 17".Joe Shields - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
Correct.. and updated.prophet001 - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
Had 3 AW 17R4s with horrible thermals. Overheated the power delivery on all of them and caused graphics stuttering.Do not buy one of those computers.

the 9570 looks amazinglazarpandar - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
not that I have any need for all that power anymore....willis936 - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
It does. I have an xps 13 9343 and just this past week i put thermal pads on it and undervolted by 100 mV. The long term load temperature is down 15C. It would be nice if they just did this kind of thermal management themselves. They’re saving, what, five bucks on the BOM by not including thermal pads? Another five bucks and they could do a copper sheet. I’m mostly interested in seeing if they’ve started doing either of those things.
