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

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.

Whereas so many of the TV sized screens are bulky, hot and inflexible, this items is just right. The economical price is certainly not indicative of any reduction in quality. The warrantee is solid and the product performs as describe. Stands are sized and balanced such that they do not overwhelm you desktop ... very pleased with this aspect. Stands rotate for reading documents. The design is secure and well balanced and esthetically pleasing from all angles. If looking for a seamless panoramic view, at 0.75 these frames create a 1.5 break in break in picture continuity. These are PERFECT for all split screen business applications. Monitor mounts are VESA compatible and attach with four screws which are 4x4 (square) distance one from one another. The original mount and stand union integrate flush to the center rear of the monitor in a seamless design. The monitor mount receives the 4.75x4.75 stand plate and has two slots at the top corners for receiving two 0.5 metal tabs found on the stand. The bottom is secured with a push button clip.

At first I bought this monitor just as a temporary monitor until I buy a legit, bigger monitor because I was planning on using dual monitors and use this one as a sub monitor since it can pivot and rotate 180. A month after I got this DELL monitor I bought BENQ gaming monitor. As I planned, I started using BENQ as a main and this one as a sub (rotated). However, while I was playing bunch of 3D steam games, (resident evil 6, witcher 3 etc) I realized that this DELL monitor was the real bad-ass. Of course BENQs bigger, but the color is just not as good as that of DELLs. Ive been using the standard stock setting for my DELL monitor and the clearness, sharpness and color temperature blah blah (I dont know much about this color related jargon so Imma just skip) are JUST SOOOOOOOO Amazing and WAAAAAy better. I have tried every single options for the BenQ monitor (Hue Temp Contrast Saturation bla bla whateva) but It never had same amazing feeling as Dells heavenly screen. I dont even know how to put this but its like watching DELLs monitor is like looking at a nicely cut chocolate squares while watching other monitors are like watching the same thing but all melted and squashed.. I mean this monitor is not even ULTRA SHARP model yet it has the best screen quality and color I have ever experienced. Bottom line, I ended up using this as a main monitor and the bigger gaming monitor as a sub monitor on the side.. cause I would rather play games with smaller screen with better quality than bigger, less fine quality. So I guess that pretty much explains how freakin awesome this monitor is. It was on sale and I got this for $159, and I think this monitor worth way more than that. I would even pay $300 for this monitor if I break mine and have to buy again (and if the price went up). Dont hesitate and just buy this. U WONT REGRET!

I used this monitor mainly as a secondary monitor. Easy to assemble. (I was able to do it with one hand.) Tilt and rotate are also easy. If you rotate it 90 degrees, be sure to switch the orientation under Windowss display settings. (I am familiar with manipulating Windows settings, but I noticed the monitor did not come with instructions on how to perform this action.) Text is more clearer than my Toshiba 24 1080p TV (model 24SL410U). Since the response time was only 8 ms, I was expecting some ghosting while playing games (Skyrim, Far Cry 4, etc.) . However, I never experienced any ghosting. The only thing I would improve on this monitor is to move the USB port on the back to either side of the monitor.

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.

excellent quality monitors- I bought 2 of them. I use programs with lots of menus so I need the screen real estate. I did a lot of research and found this monitor to be great for graphic design. I have them mounted via brackets together and I am happy. The colors and brightness are nice and vivid. I also like that the screen is matte and not reflective. So when you are in a bright lit room you dont see yourself in the monitor, like a mirror. I have an apple monitor that is reflective and I notice that I prefer the non-reflective displays such as this one.

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.

Disclaimer: I am a very knowledgeable about LCD technology and can spot almost any flaw, no matter how small. The reasons I took off a star will be unnoticeable/non-issues to the vast majority of people. I bought the P2214H for someone else, and they are completely happy with it. However, in my reviews I factor in both value-for-the-dollar as well as my personal desires irrespective of price considerations. For the $180 I paid? Impressive. I didnt think I could get an IPS with an adjustable stand at this price. And I was glad to see that the extreme graininess of older IPS monitors has been greatly reduced. Good: Not hideously grainy-looking like older IPS monitors. Good, adjustable stand. Low input lag (important for gaming). Easy-to-use menus thanks to physical buttons that sit adjacent to their respective OSD functions. Bad: Though the custom color modes default settings are spot-on (according to Lagom), photos do not look as natural as they do on my ASUS TN (TN is just a different type of LCD) from 2009, which was surprising since TN is an older, cheaper LCD technology, and is supposed to have inferior color quality relative to IPS. But this is not due to any kind of defect with the Dell. I looked into it and found out why my old ASUS has better color: the backlight. The ASUS uses a CCFL (long, thin glass tube) backlight with a wider color gamut than the LED backlight found in the Dell. This is actually typical of LED backlights versus CCFL backlights (found almost exclusively in older monitors). Still, it was a real disappointment, as Id been hoping for better color, not worse. My one big negative. Not bad for gaming, partly due to the rock-bottom input lag, but not as good as gaming-oriented TN monitors. I noticed more motion blur on this than my ASUS. But that was expected as IPS is designed for greater overall image quality, and not specifically gaming. Higher refresh rates would be appreciated. This is actually a shortcoming of every monitor out there not marked 120hz or 144hz. I was able to overclock the Dell to 70hz but that was it, and it completely broke video playback on some websites due to incompatibility with content protection standards. I cant fault Dell for this however because its an industry-wide problem. Most people just dont care about having higher refresh rates.

Needed a 2nd screen to match what I am using, works great and good calirity.

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.
