Can monitor causing screen freeze when gaming?

[Roy]

So i read a 1 bestbuy review about Dell U2518S and he say the monitor causing screen freeze when gaming..... is it really from the monitor not gpu or ram?

[Roy]

Have anyone use dell U2518D?

Is it good for casual gaming? Yes i know its 60hz

I have a U2515H (the same monitor without HDR).

Flicker free PWM
Response Time 8ms
IPS factory calibrated at 99% sRGB

It might not appease the competative gaming crowd but your eyes will welcome the flicker free PWM and the factory calibrated IPS panel will make high quality strategy/sim/rpg games look very pretty indeed.

I don't play much in the way of V's online games but even with games like Killing Floor 2, LFD2 etc it's very hard to fault.

Best budget 1440p 60hz monitor?

Is Dell U2518D the best?

Try looking for more reviews from different sites that sell or sold the monitor. One's opinion isn't enough.

From my perspective, User Reviews are only useful as Metadata. The valuable information comes from the averages - multiple reports of a particular problem and trends in review scores across hundreds and thousands of posts.. Each individual review taken in isolation is of virtually no use whatsoever.

Reviews are heavily biased by basic human behaviour. People are likely to post a complaint if their product breaks, even if it's entirely their fault. On the flip side, people will rarely comment if a product does what it's supposed to. And if the product is amazing, you're still less likely to see people reviewing.

TLDR: Ignore that one person. Find a source with more reviews and look at the trends. See if multiple people are reporting a particular problem, that usually indicates an issue with the model.

I have never heard of a monitor's screen freezing during gaming. That typically happens as a result of software or hardware faults, like a lot of negative reviews I would blame the reviewer's own error or faulty system.
