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

I am not one of those people who knows all there is to know about ICC profiles and gamma correction, etc. I just know when a monitor is bugging my eyes like crazy, and looks off in about every way. I got this monitor delivered to work and played with the settings all day yesterday. I also looked at what settings others had said were apparently good, and tried those. I started to doubt my eyes. But after I got home and looked at the other 27 monitor I have there (different brand -- you can find my review on that one if youre interested), it was immediately apparently that it was not in my head. This one is maybe half as good, and it was actually $20 more expensive than the other one. The bottom line is this: there are MUCH better monitors out there for the same price (cheaper, in fact). And, if youve ever seen a Dell monitor that looked off and just couldnt be dialed in, this one is exactly like that -- just bigger. I wish it wasnt true, but it is, at least for the one I got. I have returned it (that part went flawlessly -- thank you Amazon), and am going with a slightly different model from the same brand I have at home (different only because I need VESA mounts for work, and that one only has a stand).

I have owned one of these monitors for about 10 months. When I ordered it, it arrived on time and in good condition as promised. It was also very simple to set up. Simply pop the stand into the back of the monitor, plug it into the wall and computer, and start using it. This monitor comes with a stand that allows you to rotate the monitor and adjust its angle. Generally, this is not possible without buying a special VESA mount. It allows you to rotate the display 90 degrees to portrait position (where landscape position is the default position). This positioning makes editing documents and reading websites easy and enjoyable. It perfectly mimics the dimensions of an A4 piece of paper plus room for toolbars and the computer interface. This makes it perfect for editing documents, reading websites, writing reviews, and the like. This monitor has a 1920*1080 screen resolution. This gives the screen enough real estate to handle multiple applications spread across the screen at once. This means that there would be enough room to put a website on the left half and a word processor on the right half, and still be able to read and work with everything easily. This can come in handy when working on projects for school or documents in the office. The text and images on this display are always sharp. It is easy to read small text and notice fine details because of the quality of the display. The colors are also very vibrant. This makes this monitor great for both productivity and gaming. You can also use multiple quantities of this monitor for gaming. The borders on all sides are very slim, which makes this monitor work well with bezel graphics. This means that you can play a game that spans across multiple monitors. Overall, I would recommend this monitor to anyone who needs a moderately sized monitor for productivity and gaming.

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.

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!

VGA source not found message, because of trying to use display port. Powering off in 2 minutes. A link for dell support is on the screen, but it doesnt take you useful information. Use the 4 buttons on the right side of monitor to change the display input settings. This is a huge oversight in the very basic install picture instructions that would save lots of time. Great for its anti-glare properties and adjustability.

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 monitor for home office use. Best thing, fully adjustable. I use dual monitors for my home office and bought a second one, I was so pleased with the first. I don’t game, so I can’t really speak to that. The picture quality is perfect for my work.

Needed it for Amiga 500 display, still waiting on an adapter from another vendor. It has great color and I really like the stand as it can do landscape and portrait. The monitor arrived on time and was packaged extremely well. Kudos to the vendor for the packing.

LOVE IT! I have vision problems and my big concern was that the native resolution on a larger monitor would be too high for me to see, but this is perfect. The screen is super bright, the colors are great. I still have one of my little 19 square monitors next to it and it looks so dim now.

I have only had these a few months. They are sturdy, good color and can be angled and adjusted on a desk with great ease. Turning your screen to show someone something is easy with this monitor. You can also rotate them 90º and use them for tall spreadsheets or for coding. Great functionality. However, I should have paid attention to the resolution. Not happy with such a low resolution for such a big monitor. I will make the best of it, but wish I had looked better and then picked a different monitor for my main display with a higher resolution and used this as a secondary with the rotating option.
