Dell P2418HT 23.8 Touch Monitor - 1920X1080 LED-LIT, Black

Used as a single external monitor for a Surface Book with Surface Dock and HTML with miniport adapter. Normally run “second screen only” mode to get full benefit of the screen’s real estate. Used for general computer work; a little bit of everything but no specialization. Although the monitor comes with a myriad of settings; none were needed initially or to date. After setting up and turning everything on, it configured itself to my preferences. Resolution, brightness, color, and contrast all met my needs. Touch didn’t even need calibration. The articulated stand does not allow for horizontal screen placement but does allow the bottom to approach the desktop and with a slope that is comfortable to view, draw, and write on. Placing the bottom near my keyboard, my arms no longer tire from reaching for a more conventional touchscreen. For those who plan on placing their monitor similarly, I would not recommend the 27” version; increases vision span and reach. While many criticize Dell’s choice of screen surface, after using it, I quickly became comfortable with the feel of the texture. I really appreciate the matte surface does not become a mirror in a bright room or with sunshine hitting it. I had no issues with brightness as some critics indicate. The capacitive touch system does not accept an active stylus. I have found that I do not even need a cheap stylus for much of what I do on the large screen and rarely resort to using the Surface stylus on the Book screen. While the Surface Book and Dell Monitor combination is not a Surface Studio, it does provide much of that flexibility at a much lower cost.

Dell might be my favorite manufacturer of monitors. This one is my second and its a nice step up from the one I got years ago. The matte finish feels great, though it does show fingerprints a bit more than the gloss on the old one. Fantastic adjustable stand on this thing!

Screen clarity is good and the touch feature works great!

I was excited about the monitor but the touch doesnt work. The instructions are terrible. But once I got the USB and DP cables installed. The touch screen does not work. Ive unplugged and replugged, restarted and searched online but no solutions. Dont buy this monitor. Its a waste of money and time.

Uh yeah, for the price etc the monitor is bananas. I use it in a lab environment, replaced a laptop as an hmi. Plus it looks sick, swiping etc. I used 25ft usb 3.0 cables and same length hdmi cables. works perfectly.

I love it. very good for work many our in front of it.
