Dell P2414H 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

With all of the monitors out there today, its hard to tell the good from the bad without performing extensive research. This research needs to be combined with a bit of luck as it would be cost prohibitive for every site to cover the full product line from multiple manufacturers. The monitor that was replaced by the Dell P2014H was a 23 LG with an IPS panel. My prior effort to use a HP w2071d to achieve the desired resolution for a budget computer system resulted in excessive visual fatigue that would be exacerbated when dark images would appear. The backlighting on that 20 inch monitor was abysmal. My priorities for the display were: 1.) IPS panel 2.) 1600x900 resolution 3.) Digital input The Dell P2014H appeared to be the best of breed based on the aforementioned criteria. The overall image quality and performance is absolutely fantastic, especially at the price point that Amazon sells it for. On top of a solid image with fairly balanced backlighting (tad bit lighter in the lower right-hand corner, but not distracting or outside of expectations in this range), you get additional features that come in handy: 1.) Integrated USB hub: Using an AmazonBasics keyboard, the integrated USB cord was a bit too short for the placement of the mid-tower. Running the keyboard through the integrated hub resolved this issue, and made it easier to connect additional peripherals. 2.) Rotating display: While it would be nice to have an accelerometer or gyroscope to allow the monitor to auto-trigger the shift from portrait to landscape format, two clicks of the mouse and a quick 90 degree rotation of the monitor completely changes the dynamic of viewing websites, reading long documents, and even developing websites. The text is crisp and the mechanics of rotating the monitor results in a smooth and effortless adjustment. 3.) Adjustable height. The Dell engineers have built a solid and user-friendly stand that permits modification on the fly. Monitors that cost more than the P2014H are normally bound to a fixed stand and may result in discomfort of the neck during extended use. Be sure to download the latest utilities and drivers from Dells site to further optimize the image quality and power consumption of this display.

I personally bought this monitor because I already had owned a 22 Dell monitor with the same rotating structure and I found it really useful for programming. I am currently using the Display Port output which is connected to my GTX 970. This monitor doesnt have HDMI, which I didnt care since Display Port is better, but may matter for someone else. It is definitely not the best option out there as far as monitors. Need an IPS 4K monitor? Look somewhere else. Need a rugged 1080p monitor that you can rotate the screen? Then get this.

I am usually a Samsung TV/monitor guy, but since I trust Dell for my laptop and desktop purchases, I said why not ? Companies I have worked for, have purchased 100s of similar monitors from Dell. Also, since I was given a Dell sound bar (clips on the bottom of the monitor), it was a nice plus. It was well worth the price versus two 22 (or the like) monitors. The video quality is great !

Perfect for what I need. I bought two to use on my workstation, and love all the features. I just need to buy longer cables so I can rotate them while using my desk setup... theyre not quite long enough to rotate without needing to move the tower so the cables work. I love being able to easily adjust the brightness for bright or dark days (depending on how much light comes in through the windows).

I have a 21 Apple iMac and wanted to go dual screens. This one is the best match I could find. It is the same size screen and same black bezel and aluminum stand. To connect it I had to purchase from Apple their Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and a standard DVI monitor cable. With those two items in hand, I plugged the Apple adapter into one of my Firewire ports and the DVI cable to it and then the monitor. My iMac automatically recognized it and now I have dual screens! Nice.

This is probably the best 1080p monitor we have tried. Note that it doesnt come with a speaker bar, and the holes for the correct speaker are covered with stickers! If you need one, youre looking for the AC511. I have a Dell rep at hand for better pricing, but if you dont, these speaker bars will be overpriced. Bright image, crisp, light, thin, all the cables you need. Great panel. Cant speak to its longevity, as we have only had them for a few weeks. Button array easy to use, unlike other offerings with sensor buttons which some people dont like. Packaging (besides the tape and a little plastic around some cables) is also fully biodegradeable--no styrofoam!

Ive had this monitor for a few months now and I really recommend it. Short review: If youre looking for a good monitor that is fully adjustable, this is the one for you. I spent quite a bit of time researching all different monitors trying to figure out which would be best suited for me. I am going to school for graphic design and computer science so I wanted a monitor that had accurate color reproduction but could also pivot for when I am coding. As far as being adjustable, this monitor is a beast. It can pivot, swivel, be height adjusted, etc. The only design flaw that bothers me is that there is a cut out in the neck of the monitor for cords (to clean up any cable mess that may ensue) and when you go to pivot the monitor into portrait mode the cords can restrict that if there isnt enough slack. Not a huge deal but definitely something to take note of if youre going to be constantly changing the orientation of the monitor. The unit has a plethora of I/O, but one thing that is missing is an HDMI port. Surely I knew this when I bought it, but I must have forgotten cause I was pretty bummed a few weeks ago when I went to plug in something via HDMI and I couldnt. Build quality is pretty good, though I did notice some give in the bezel of the monitor in a couple places. Upon further inspection there were some small gaps between the bezel and the actual screen panel. Nothing noticeable when youre sitting down and using the monitor, but still worth mentioning. There is a little bit of backlight show through in the lower left corner on my unit, but thats to be expected with this type of screen technology. The viewing angles are outstanding, as is the overall screen panel. Great refresh rate, great colors after you tweak them (well get to that in a moment), and doesnt take up a whole lot of room on your desk. Out of the box the colors on this unit were slightly yellow... I had received the dreaded A00 rev. Most people recommend returning the unit because they can never get the yellow to completely go away, but with some tweaking I was able to get it fairly close to my 15 Retina Macbook Pro screen colors. If you end up getting an A00 unit, Id say the decision is up to you: you can return it and hopefully get a different version that doesnt have this yellow tint problem, or spend an hour or so tweaking the color profile until it works for you. All in all I would recommend this monitor in a heartbeat. For the price youre getting a seriously good monitor. It doesnt have the best build quality or the thinnest bezels, and you may have to tweak your color profile out of the box, but its worth it for the high quality panel plus all of the adjustable features that it provides. Pros: - Pivot screen - Great viewing angles - Overall high quality panel Cons: - May get a unit with a yellow tint - No HDMI - Build quality is only good, not great

This monitor is perfect for me. I prefer a more square-ish monitor rather than rectangular-ish but thats how theyre making HD monitors so thats something I just have adapt to and live with. The black frame and the screen are matte (thanks to all who answered my question), and measures 21 x 12, the screen measuring 19 3/4 x 11 1/8 inch. Its a very attractive piece that matches perfectly with my dell Windows 7 and Dell XP computers. Its adjustable up and down, left to right, landscape to portrait, tilt forward tilt backwards quite easily. The power button and others above it are push buttons. The white background is kind of bright but maybe thats HD for you. I didnt need to adjust any colors, I plugged the hdmi port into my computers hdmi port and the other end into the dvi port on the back of the monitor, hooked up the power chord, turned on my computer and the monitor and perfect picture is what I got, right out of the box. UPDATE: 5/27/18: Almost 4 years later and the monitor is still in excellent condition. I have not needed to make any service calls, have not had any issues.

I ordered two of these monitors and they look great. I have three issues with them, however: 1. No DVI cables included. They include a USB cable, a DisplayLink cable, and a VGA cable, but no DVI. I intended to use them over DVI, so I had to go buy separate cables. 2. The USB hub ports are covered by the cable management shield and are not easily accessible. There is a single USB port on the rear that can be used with the cable guard in place, but it isnt nearly as convenient as the side-mounted USB ports on my 24 Dell monitors. 3. The packaging was terribly difficult to open. I was actually concerned I might damage the monitor trying to get it out of the box. Opening the second one, I thought it would be easier after learning from the first, but it was still just as hard. I like to keep monitor and PC case boxes in case I need to move, but these were damaged beyond use trying to get the monitors out.

I bought this monitor to use in portrait mode and I was extremely pleased to find that its picture quality in portrait mode is exactly the same as in landscape mode, which is uncommon. The P2414H has one of the narrowest bezels available in a 24 which also lended itself well to my application. It has a business-class non-reflective screen surface which I prefer. Startup sync is nearly instantaneous via DisplayPort. Overall image quality is quite good. I liked that the OSD can be rotated to portrait mode, although it doesnt work automatically via a rotation sensor, that would have been a nice plus. Im using the integrated USB hub for mouse and keyboard and it works fine. Included cables comprise a USB host-to-target for the built-in USB hub, a DisplayPort, and an analog VGA. A snap-on plastic cover is also included which masks the cable connections on the back of the monitor which helps cosmetically if people can see the back. I would give this unit 5 stars except for some reason Dell failed to include sRGB compliance in the image presets. I notice the P2414H is Windows Logod, and I thought that sRGB was required for Windows logo. sRGB in presets is a quick way to set up 6500K color temperature and 2.2 gamma, so in situations where I cant use a real color calibrator I like to have sRGB preset so I dont have to fiddle with color and contrast settings. Dell supplies an ICM profile with their monitor driver download, but it has only one profile for P2414H D6500 rather than multiple profiles for the different color presets available via the OSD, and its unclear exactly what settings the ICM profile corresponds to, so its essentially useless. Note that the monitor has internal sound, but no speakers unless you purchase the optional soundbar. I only mention this because plugging in the P2414H will automatically set it as your primary sound device and you wont hear anything since there are no speakers. My sound going away puzzled me for a moment until I noticed the monitor had enumerated and audio device.
