Dell P2419H 24 Inch LED-Backlit, Anti-Glare, 3H Hard Coating IPS Monitor - (8 ms Response, FHD 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz, 1000:1 Contrast, with ComfortView DisplayPort, VGA, HDMI and USB), Black

I ordered the monitor to my home office. After solving the cable problems with help of Walmart, my work days have felt like a dream... Well, do they ever feel like a dream... easier to handle, would be better to say, and that is only because of the monitor. It is amazing that I can keep two excel files open side by side and they are normal sized. Love it.

I was disappointed when I received this monitor. It was dusty inside the box which makes me think it was either used or old. There was a small scratch on the screen about an inch long. I am using the monitor strictly for tool pallets in Final Cut, Photoshop, etc., so I can live with it. First monitor I ever bought that didnt come with a piece of paper or plastic or something covering the screen to avoid scratches during shipment. I assume all Dells come this way so I wont buy one again. Its too big a hassle for me to return it. The cables all attach to the monitor from the bottom. I know some people like that because it is clean but for me it is hard to get them plugged in. I had already read that the best cable to make this work with my newer iMac was a Thunderbolt to HDMI so I bought one and it did indeed instantly connect, and the computer instantly recognized the monitor so that was pretty cool. No hassle setup for sure. The screen isnt very bright. For $200 I expected more. So to recap, I think it is a good monitor but maybe worth $125. Just my two cents.

Not too bad for a budget monitor. The colors are clear and accurate, the menu is very easy to use, assembly (if you can even call it that) is a breeze, and the way they built the stand to move without too many complicated parts is genius. I will say though, I was terrible disappointed to find minor damage to the monitor out of the box. The stand has scuffs and scrapes on it that do not appear to have happened during shipping, it looks like they were shipped in an already scuffed state. I wouldnt mind too much if just the stand was scuffed, but the monitor has damage as well. The monitor has a nick in it that is large enough to be annoying. Theres also a round spot on the screen about the size of a nickel thats much darker than the rest of the screen, has several pixel-sized nicks in it, and leaves a faint dark shadow left of the dark spot (about 2.5 inches of screen.) While the screen damage may have happened during shipping, I feel like more care could have been taken with the packing to prevent this. I may consider attempting to get a replacement if possible. Not a fan of the fact that I spent the money to buy a nice new monitor only for it to arrive with damage.

My home office is bright wit natural light & theres no glare. I dont use it for games or graphics so the picture quality is perfect for me.

I needed more screen space than my laptop offered to effectively use some graphic programs. This screen was just the answer. I connect it to my laptop and via a simple HDMI cable. The screen adjust easily up and down, pivots left and right, tilts up and down and easily rotates to provide a long skinny aspect ratio when I need to read long documents.

I was looking to upgrade my home office since Im working remote more these days, so I started researching a lot of different monitors. I originally went with two 25 Acer gaming monitors, because I got them for a pretty good deal through BestBuy. Since they were TN panels, the viewing angles for programming were terrible for my application. I then started researching again and came across these monitors. I returned my other two and bought two of these. These monitors are terrific for my programming. The viewing angles and color are superb on the IPS panels. I cant recommend these monitors enough for programming. Theyre connected through the provided DP cables to a Dell docking station. The text that is displayed is very crisp. Im extremely happy with my purchase. On a side note, Im not sure the response time on these monitors would be suitable for gaming. However, Im not sure that IPS monitors are the best choice for gaming yet. Most IPS panels will have a higher response time than TN panels. For any other use, these monitors are a great choice. I didnt use the provided stands that came with these monitors, so I cant comment on the stands. I bought a dual monitor VESA mount stand off Amazon to mount these. Update 2019-09-13: Coming up on almost a year of having these monitors. I still thoroughly enjoy them. I still stand by the initial part of my review regarding these monitors. Its funny that I bought these for my home office, because my employer actually start upgrading everyone to these monitors too. They seem to be well praised around the office for our use.

I already know I really like this monitor. However, I have purchased 2 in a row - both came with ruined (cracked, broken) screens. Im returning both and would love to purchase a 3rd one, but now dont want to take the risk. That, and as I need the extra monitor to do my job, Im tired of laying out the money until the items are returned and processed. Because of that, I now have to wait for 2 to go through that processing before I order another one. Dell, if you read these at all, please ship me another one while I return these as I am struggling to get my work done w/o it. If not, I definitely will not be purchasing again. All, if you do purchase and receive undamaged, it really is a great monitor

I ordered two of these monitors and they are nice, but I’m struggling to find a setting that allows me to read clearly without wearing my reading glasses (+1.5 magnification for reference). Seems like the text is not as crisp or clear as I’d like but perhaps this is user error?

i brought this screen about a month ago, i use it for designing, graphics, its an fantastic great screen for a good price ($160) good real color view perfect size modern look up and down sliding and rotate options and more.. i am very happy with it, and planning to buy a second one in the next few..
