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

Greater than one weekI got this to replace a different monitor in a dual-screen setup, and to match the other Dell Pro 24 monitor I already have. I thought the one from two years ago was impressive, but this one is even nicer. I especially like the changes made to the cabling and other appearance from the rear of the monitor. The valence panel makes a big difference, as well as moving the USB port(s). At first, I was not sure if I liked that Dell took away the power feed and mounts for a speaker bar, but it is something else that gives the monitor a nicer look. The bezel surround is about the same width as the older one, which also surprised me. These are the type of monitors that are used for multiples quite often, and the bezel is the same width all around, but I would have figured that Dell would reduce this for those of us that use multiples. Performance and overall look of the screen is outstanding. The pixels are tight and accurate, and the monitor handles movement very well. The addition of the Display Port in lieu of HDMI is highly appropriate for this type of monitor, given its intended use. Im SO GLAD to finally ditch at least one of my DVI-D cablings in favor of the Display Port. Regardless, its good to see the VGA and DVI-D interfaces are still there if needed. My only real want or suggestion for the P2414H would be nice to have an external HDMI port available (or mini-DP at the least) for a portable device. My wireless phone will port to HDMI, and it would be a great simple solution rather than keeping an HDMI --> DVI-D adapter plugged into the DVI-D port. Maybe thats incorporated into a newer version already, but I was able to keep costs down with this particular model. .

> 3 dayVGA 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.

> 3 dayThis is a great monitor for business use. I was put off by some of the negative reviews but decided to buy it anyway since it was so cheap. When the monitor first arrived, the white background appeared slightly yellow-ish at the bottom. I was ready to return it but remembered that sometimes computer screens (cellphone screens as well) need to work for a few days for the color to show correctly. Im glad I waited it out--the white is perfect now and I absolutely love this monitor. When my clients see it they often comment on how large it is, because I have it in portrait mode. I highly recommend this monitor. After you buy it, give it a week or two for the color to set in. You can always return it if you dont like it, but I am here to tell you: this monitor is fantastic.

> 3 dayLOVE 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.

> 3 dayI bought this not while ago, just couple of days ago. The monitor was delivered on time with good handling, including HDMI and VGA cable, and of course adapter as well. When I connected it to my laptop as an extended screen, it worked perfectly and flawlessly. The screen solution was at its best, high quality without blurry images whatsoever. This monitor was about right. It sits perfectly in my desk station without taking much space. Absolutely a must-have-monitor if you plan on extending your display.

> 3 dayIn 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.

> 3 dayNot 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.

> 3 dayI bought these after good experiences with the monitors I use at work (a newer version of them). They work great for the home use as well. The display quality is great with great color and brightness. I shopped around and look at a dozen monitors in this price range and can honestly say the build quality is among the best on these for the price. I highly recommend them!

> 3 day+ Colors are absolutely brilliant, especially once calibrated + Minimal backlight bleed on my unit, less than most IPS monitors in this price range + I MUCH prefer glossy panels to matte, and Im delighted to find that the matte finish on this doesnt detract from image quality + No inverse ghosting + Very very low input lag... more than fast enough for gaming + Cost when I bought it, $210 is a steal + Stand is fully adjustable... height, swivel & tilt + VESA mountable + DisplayPort, DVI, VGA connections + Comes with DisplayPort & VGA cables + Power on indicator LED can be turned off + Dark scenes are dark (black looks black not gray) + 1920x1080 resolution is the sweet spot for gaming -/+ IPS glow is present (like on all IPS monitors), but unintrusive - No HDMI port Ive used this for a variety of games including FPS. While fast motion/framerate handling cant compare to the 120Hz+ TN monitors out there, I have no complaints, and IMO the tradeoff in speed is worth it for the amazing image quality you get with an IPS panel. If you need a 120Hz panel youre not looking at IPS anyway. If youre looking for a beautiful, affordable IPS monitor that behaves admirably when gaming, look no further. This is the one.
