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

There is a strip at the top that doesnt illuminate in the screen

I bought these after good experiences with the monitors I use at work (a newer version of them). They work great for the home use as well. The display quality is great with great color and brightness. I shopped around and look at a dozen monitors in this price range and can honestly say the build quality is among the best on these for the price. I highly recommend them!

Before I bought it, I read the reviews. But I cannot confirm the complaint about panel quality. Perhaps that observed phenomenon is related to the typical property of an IPS display. It has a high contrast (horizontal and vertical) except the corners. But if your sitting very close to the display then you may see the fading on the corners. Well Ive bought several IPS monitors from DELL in the past and I got never disappointed. So it was this time. - Very fast delivery! - Zero Pixel failure. - The vivid colors are stable over a wide viewing range. - Bright display with good contrast and an even light distribution. - Runs very cool. Only one thing is missing for calling it perfect: The gamma value cannot be manipulated in the setup of the monitor. It has to be done in the display settings of the attached computer. Personally I think it is the monitor with the best value. Sure, I recommend it!

It is the same monitor my company provide. So I had previous experience with it. It has a high quality resolution and very dependable monitor.

I needed a monitor to connect to my MacBook Air for graphic design purposes, and this display really is perfect for the job. After calibrating the monitor using settings from tftcentrals review, the overall quality is pretty amazing. Its solidly built with a classy aesthetic that could easily be mistaken for an Apple brand Thunderbolt display with its aluminum-like finish, plenty of ports for a variety of devices (I use a mini-displayport to displayport adapter to connect the display to my MacBook), and the built in USB hub is pretty convenient. My only gripes are that I cannot daisy chain this display with another P2414H and that when I received my monitor, it had the remnants of a displayport cable connector still in the actual displayport. I suppose some overzealous quality control employee tried to remove a displayport cable without pushing down on the connectors release mechanism first and ended up yanking the cable out, leaving behind the displayport connector sleeve that locks in. The actual connector on the monitor is fine, but I hope Dells QC personnel are trained to properly remove cables from a monitor in the future, haha.

As a programmer, Ive been using a combination of a 30 monitor and a 20 monitor for years. This combination works great because the 1600 pixel height of the 30 monitor matches up perfectly with the 1600 pixel width of the 20 monitors. Recently, I decided to setup a similar setup at my shop - and purchased a

I am just getting ready to return the third sample of this monitor that has a YELLOW TINT issue. My original order was for two P2414H monitors to use side by side on a Mac Pro. One of the monitors from my original shipment has a beautiful crisp, clear, and color accurate display. The other monitor from the same delivery had a very annoying yellowish tint that affected all colors displayed on the screen and cannot be corrected by calibration. I returned the defective one for a replacement and received another monitor with the yellow tint problem. I returned the new replacement and received a third monitor with the same yellow tinted display. I have one sample of a correctly functioning monitor so I know that Dell is capable of manufacturing an excellent product. Ive tried to get Amazon to contact Dell to get the issue resolved. So far, all Amazon will do is continue to replace the monitors that I return or provide a refund. The experience has been extremely frustrating. I recommend not purchasing the P2414H until Dell acknowledges the problem, recalls the defective units, and FIXES the root cause. All of the units are Rev A00 (including the one that does not exhibit the problem). They were manufactured in July 2013.

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.

Well packaged, high quality, looks almost new.

I spent the last month studying monitors in the 23-24 range and finally settled on this unit, as I have good luck with Dell monitors. My primary use is home applications and gaming (Crysis, Sins of a Solar Empire, Star Craft, etc...). Out of the box it came nearly completely calibrated...only very minor updates made. Nice clean look and terrific flexibility in the stand (tilt, height, swivel, horizontal to vertical). Also considered the mid-range of Asus, HP, Dell, and BenQ.
