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

I was one of the unlucky few who purchased this monitor and got an old model with a BGR subpixel layout. 99 percent of monitors on the market today use an RGB subpixel layout as a standard. For some reason, earlier versions of the P2214H shipped with a BGR layout, which means that text is going to look blurry without some work. For Windows users, this means adjusting your ClearType settings, but unfortunately it also means hoping that the Web browser you use is compatible with BGR subpixels. Chrome users should take note as the browsers DirectWrite font rendering engine is only compatible with RGB. For Mac users, your only option is to mount the monitor upside-down, which requires you to disassemble part of the monitors stand and reattach it flipped. Of course this also means that you lose any aesthetic quality the monitor had. My understanding through research is that newer models of this monitor shipped with RGB panels as a standard; however, I purchased mine from Amazon during the first week of February 2015. So just because the newer monitors have RGB panels does not mean that you will get one if you purchase it from here. I am extremely disappointed in this transaction, considering that it is otherwise a well-built monitor.

I ordered two of these monitors and they look great. I have three issues with them, however: 1. No DVI cables included. They include a USB cable, a DisplayLink cable, and a VGA cable, but no DVI. I intended to use them over DVI, so I had to go buy separate cables. 2. The USB hub ports are covered by the cable management shield and are not easily accessible. There is a single USB port on the rear that can be used with the cable guard in place, but it isnt nearly as convenient as the side-mounted USB ports on my 24 Dell monitors. 3. The packaging was terribly difficult to open. I was actually concerned I might damage the monitor trying to get it out of the box. Opening the second one, I thought it would be easier after learning from the first, but it was still just as hard. I like to keep monitor and PC case boxes in case I need to move, but these were damaged beyond use trying to get the monitors out.

Well packaged, high quality, looks almost new.

This monitor arrive packed simply but really well. Easy to put together and super easy to hook up. I had no idea what I was missing with my old Dell 17 inch monitor that came standard with my computer. This screen is beautiful and slides up and down easily for height adjustments, it also turns side to side for viewing. The screen does not appear to have blind spots where you see the screen but not the image. Havent turned it vertical but am aware I could. My husband thinks its a little too wide but its a matter of getting used to. Colors are brilliant! Great monitor at a really affordable price and free shipping. I love Amazon!

Love this monitor. One of the very few that has a height adjustment (which I dont understand why they all dont have this feature). My wife has the same size display (from another manufacturer) and has to put book under it so its the right height. Performs well for everyday tasks (office apps/ internet/ streaming video). I have the 22 version of this monitor at work and liked it so much that I got this bigger one for home.

I spent the last month studying monitors in the 23-24 range and finally settled on this unit, as I have good luck with Dell monitors. My primary use is home applications and gaming (Crysis, Sins of a Solar Empire, Star Craft, etc...). Out of the box it came nearly completely calibrated...only very minor updates made. Nice clean look and terrific flexibility in the stand (tilt, height, swivel, horizontal to vertical). Also considered the mid-range of Asus, HP, Dell, and BenQ.

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.

I bought this monitor in used condition as a 2nd monitor to use for discord etc. while gaming on my main monitor. The monitor was shipped promptly and delivered before the expected delivery date and is in very good condition for a used monitor. Picture quality is great. You can use it in landscape or flip it 90 degrees to use in portrait mode, which I do from time to time for certain situations. I like that the buttons are on the front face so I can easily turn down brightness at night and turn it back up during the day. Ive had this monitor for over a month now and have had no issues so far. I use this 22 1080p monitor as a 2nd monitor with a 27 1440p as my main and it looks and works great side by side.

As a programmer, Ive been using a combination of a 30 monitor and a 20 monitor for years. This combination works great because the 1600 pixel height of the 30 monitor matches up perfectly with the 1600 pixel width of the 20 monitors. Recently, I decided to setup a similar setup at my shop - and purchased a

Very impressed with this monitor. Picture quality is very good. Sharp text, good color, very bright and clear. The IPS display is wonderful. For a 1080p monitor, it doesnt get much better than this. The build quality is great and the adjustable stand is fantastic. Easy to raise, lower, rotate or turn into vertical mode. I will be buying another. Dell monitors are typically very good and this is no exception.
