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

I bought this monitor to use in portrait mode and I was extremely pleased to find that its picture quality in portrait mode is exactly the same as in landscape mode, which is uncommon. The P2414H has one of the narrowest bezels available in a 24 which also lended itself well to my application. It has a business-class non-reflective screen surface which I prefer. Startup sync is nearly instantaneous via DisplayPort. Overall image quality is quite good. I liked that the OSD can be rotated to portrait mode, although it doesnt work automatically via a rotation sensor, that would have been a nice plus. Im using the integrated USB hub for mouse and keyboard and it works fine. Included cables comprise a USB host-to-target for the built-in USB hub, a DisplayPort, and an analog VGA. A snap-on plastic cover is also included which masks the cable connections on the back of the monitor which helps cosmetically if people can see the back. I would give this unit 5 stars except for some reason Dell failed to include sRGB compliance in the image presets. I notice the P2414H is Windows Logod, and I thought that sRGB was required for Windows logo. sRGB in presets is a quick way to set up 6500K color temperature and 2.2 gamma, so in situations where I cant use a real color calibrator I like to have sRGB preset so I dont have to fiddle with color and contrast settings. Dell supplies an ICM profile with their monitor driver download, but it has only one profile for P2414H D6500 rather than multiple profiles for the different color presets available via the OSD, and its unclear exactly what settings the ICM profile corresponds to, so its essentially useless. Note that the monitor has internal sound, but no speakers unless you purchase the optional soundbar. I only mention this because plugging in the P2414H will automatically set it as your primary sound device and you wont hear anything since there are no speakers. My sound going away puzzled me for a moment until I noticed the monitor had enumerated and audio device.

I bought the P2414H to use it as an office monitor. The monitor has an elegant design, its easy on the eyes (after I calibrated it to my taste), text is clear and easy to read, power consumption is low, the menu is well thought out, etc.. Overall, this is an excellent monitor for the money. My only gripe is with color rendition of IPS technology in general. This is my second IPS monitor for past three years (after the HP ZR24W, which was considered a good monitor back in 2011). Despite spending hours calibrating colors and brightness, both IPS monitors have worse color reproduction than the 24 Dell UltraSharp monitor that Ive had at home since ... 2007 (and that monitor is/was supposedly in the same class as these newer monitors). Still, considering the available choices, the P2414H is excellent.

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).

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.

Just as good as new. Needed an additional monitor for work and this is perfect. Much less strain on my eyes.

In the past Ive owned a lot of Dell computers and monitors, but since I got burnt on the last 3 Dell computers Ive quit buying Dell computers, but my Dell monitors are still serving me well, so I went for another one. I had 2 old Dell monitors that I quit using on my computers awhile back and started using them as part of my security system, but the oldest one ( 6 years old, 20 IPS panel 16:10) went out on me, so I went to find a replacement. I wanted the same as I had before, but I couldnt find anything in a 16:10 unless I paid 2-3 times the price of a 16:9 or went up to a 24, which I didnt want to do. Well I bought this monitor and its appears to be a good one, because it doesnt have any stuck pixels, it runs cooler than the old one (LED backlight), it was cheaper than the old one (this one cost $170, the old one cost $450 6 yrs ago) and its 22 instead of a 20. The step backward is the 16:9, because this 22 is the same height as my 20, just 1 1/2 longer and this stretches everything out and now all the images on my security cameras look squashed and the people all look fat. Bottom line is: I think this is a great value in a monitor and I can live with the 16:9.

Not the cheapest 24 you can buy. I did some research and came across a few nice reviews which were quite thorough. One in particular from the UK. Quite a thorough review. Well reviewed. What I like about this unit is the matte finish on the screen so reduced glare and the aluminum base styling. Needs to have a HDMI input but this is easily gotten around. Not sure why they provided every input but a HDMI. Now I hope it lasts a long time for the money I paid for it.

I ordered a refurbished monitor to match the one I already have.. The model was the same but the base was different unfortunately.. However, the monitor works brilliantly and I couldnt be happier with the quality.. The company was promt with delivery and it was very fairly priced.. Thank you.

I needed a monitor to use vertically for viewing spreadsheets. If you have looked for a monitor to use vertically you know how hard it can be to find one that is wide enough (when vertical) to see see a whole spreadsheet or Word document. Most monitors today are excellent as widescreen when horizontal but are too narrow to use otherwise. This Dell monitor is excellent. When horizontal it has a viewing area that is 10 1/2 high. The stand allows you to move the monitor up and down, tilt in and out, and rotate the screen vertical. Excellent monitor, excellent price. UPDATE!! I just purchased a second one of these monitors because the first one worked out so well. I also realized that I forgot to give the viewable screen dimensions. The viewable area is 18 3/4 wide, 10 1/2 tall, and 21 1/2 on the diagonal.

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.
