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

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!

Perfect size for desktop use. Plenty big and yet not so large as to make you constantly have to turn your head to view. Excellent brightness control and color is perfect as far as I can see. No flickering or image problems at all. I have used larger screens and they were just too massive for me. All cables thread through post if you like. USB ports work as expected, of course I would like more, but there are enough. I highly recommend this monitor for desktop/keyboard set ups.

I like the three-way adjustments (height, tilt and pivot); the clear but non-glare matte screen; the three USB2 ports, and the high resolution compared to 1680x1050 monitors. It came with a VGA and an HDMI cable, and the USB2 master cable. In fact, there is nothing to complain of except that this is not a 22 monitor. It is 21.5 diagonal, meaning that instead of 11.75 display height you get 10.5. The difference is very noticeable. Still, because of its good points, I would probably buy it again.

Overall, a great purchase. I was able to easily project windows 10 to two of them, with no performance issues as has been reported with other monitors, although I have not ever experienced that myself. They are easily rotatable and perfectly fine to play games on. I bought them with the intention of having code displayed on a monitor rotated 90 degrees. They provide enough real estate when rotated to comfortably fit long inline statements, and are not too tall as to make parts of the screen unusable with such an orientation. The monitor has plenty of room to be slid higher, so it should be comfortable for people who are taller. Price was the reason for 4 rather than 5 stars.

Nice, crisp picture, fully adjustable stands, standard VESA mounts on the back, and a plug-shield on the back to hide the cables going in and out of the monitor. Im the IT director for my company and Ive purchased about a half-dozen of these. My only gripe is that they have a displayport plug INSTEAD of HDMI. While thats not a big deal for newer Dell business class towers, most computers more than a few years old do not have displayport. I have found that an HDMI-DVI adapter cable works just fine though, if you must use HDMI (for instance, on a laptop). Other than that, theyre great monitors and will most likely buy more.

The display (mines an A00 rev) has pretty uniform brightness and respectable color reproduction for the price range ($200 plus or minus $20) especially with calibration. I dont have the yellow tint issues others are reporting; that sounds to me like a warranty-replaceable defect. There is IPS glow but its unobtrusive. The backlight is non-PWM, that is to say the brightness is controlled via direct current, so people sensitive to backlight flicker will notice none on this monitor. Input lag is unnoticeable to me (under 6 ms) and theres minimal ghosting. About the only improvement gaming-wise would be faster refresh rate, but thats still largely the domain of TN panels. I do notice more fluidity in the 144 Hz Asus VG248QE when playing twitchy shooters (e.g. CS:GO) but unless youre really into your shooters, 60 Hz panels like the P2414H are fine. For other genres this display is excellent. The OSD and physical buttons are utilitarian and straightforward; they do their job well. I appreciate the ability to turn off the powered on indicator LED. The stand is not the most robust ever created but its entirely serviceable; it looks nice, its sturdy, and its easily attached to and removed from the monitor. Adjustments are all straightforward and easy to manipulate (theres tilt, swivel, rotate, and height adjustment). It looks nice in portrait or landscape. A 100 mm VESA mount is present, too. For about $100 more one can get the U2414H (Ultrasharp) which is very similar to this monitor in terms of the display characteristics and stand but has thinner bezels on the top and sides, 4x USB 3.0 ports and HDMI inputs (among other differences). I didnt need any of those things so Im content with the P2414H.

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.

So far so good. I just it hooked up yesterday. The factory settings has the screen way too bright and it had to be turned way down to even come close to my calibrated Sony monitor. I cant comment on the color accuracy until I get it calibrated, but based on a visual comparison w/ my calibrated Sony monitor, Id say it is much too bright and the colors are much too saturated, right out of the box. Works fine for its secondary purpose, which is watching movies from the computer.

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 !

The monitor is exactly as described. The contrast is perfect, the colors are vibrant, there are no dead pixels, and I havent noticed any kind of lag. The stand is perfect. It is VESA compliant and can rotate at 90 degree intervals. Of note, the monitor does NOT have HDMI-in, but it isnt advertised as such. It does have a display port, which is what confused me, but thats not worth taking a star off for. HDMI and display port are the same thing anyway, youll just need to get a converter cable (about $4) if you want to use HDMI with this monitor. So far its been a perfect addition to my setup: Zotac GTX650 AMP! Edition, This monitor, 2 Acer G206HL monitors. Everything about this monitor is perfect (as described).
