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

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

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

Ive had the monitor for about 2 months now. Picture quality is very good and makes this monitor a bargain. The settings are intuitive and easy to use. The only minor downside is there is not HDMI, but the picture quality is still excellent and crispy. If the monitor still works 2 years from now I will give it 5 stars.

If youre looking for a widescreen that can swivel to portrait or landscape, stop looking. This is it. Pros: Stunning IPS panel. My non-IPS laptop looks revolting in comparison now. This monitor has deep blacks and vivid colors. That might not sound important for your workday, but you will really appreciate the difference. The stand is amazing... it can slide up and down to meet your eye level, and it can tilt 180 degrees to become the perfect PDF reader. Cons: No standard HDMI port. Find out what kind of port your computer has and add the appropriate adapter cable to your Amazon order. I spent $6 on a DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable, and everything is gravy now. Spend the extra money and get this monitor. Seriously. Dont settle for a crappy stand.

I bought three of these for a multi-monitor setup with my early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15, and it works beautifully. For those interested, I believe you need the higher end MBPr models that come equipped with discreet (internal) Nvidia graphics card, so you may have issues with the 13 or non-Retina models. My setup was: 1 HDMI to DisplayPort and 2 Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Details matter: most 2013+ era MacBook Pros use Mini DisplayPort connections (e.g. Thunderbolt) on the notebook (*not* full size DisplayPort). I opted for 6 Better Cables brand cables purchased from Amazon, but you could also use: 1 HDMI to DVI-D single link (not dual link, and not plain DVI) and: 2 Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt compatible) to DisplayPort (not Mini) If you have a Thunderbolt hub, youll need a MB with 2 Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt connections, because hubs will take one of your Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt plugs and you cant use both the hub HDMI and hub MDP/TB plugs simultaneously. Lastly, do your testing with the Macbook Pros lid opened and plugged in. Reboot at least once before futzing with sleep mode, as this can cause weirdness (especially if youve got USB keyboard/mouse plugged into a hub -- they might not wake up).

I bought this monitor in used condition as a 2nd monitor to use for discord etc. while gaming on my main monitor. The monitor was shipped promptly and delivered before the expected delivery date and is in very good condition for a used monitor. Picture quality is great. You can use it in landscape or flip it 90 degrees to use in portrait mode, which I do from time to time for certain situations. I like that the buttons are on the front face so I can easily turn down brightness at night and turn it back up during the day. Ive had this monitor for over a month now and have had no issues so far. I use this 22 1080p monitor as a 2nd monitor with a 27 1440p as my main and it looks and works great side by side.

Great resolution and very easy to set up. screen rotation is very helpful for those big excel sheets your working on. Only annoying thing is you need to order the Dell NCW95 MN008 USB Computer Soundbar AC511 separate if you want sound. For what you are paying for the screen it should be included but they are both excellent products.

Beautiful moitor. Works well with Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10 Pro using DisplayPort connection. This is reported to be a good monitor for photo editing but I do that with a desktop Mac and a more expensive LaCie monitor. I have not bothered to calibrate the monitor because it looks fine for my purposes. Color photos which I have edited and printed from my calibrated system look right on this monitor so the factory calibration appears to be close.

I got this because I got sick of looking at my 13 laptop monitor. It works great and has good colors. Since I have a mac, I had to get the adapter to plug any type of monitor into my laptop.. One thing I like about this monitor is that it adjusts up/down, tilt left/right/forward/back and even rotates if you are working on soemthing very tall vertically. I recommend it, no black pixels at all.

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.
