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

I work with a CAD program on a 15.4 2016 MacBook Pro, so I needed a larger monitor to make work easier. I researched many different monitors from various manufacturers, and finally narrowed it down to 2 from Dell, this one, and the U2415. I like both, but what swung the decision for me was the touch ability of this monitor. This monitor really works, with several connection options, both upstream and downstream. I know, Macs dont support touch, but I was able to get around that with the TOUCHBASE drivers. Their driver package really works, and I have never, ever dealt with a company with better support, even pre sale support. Dave Bhattacharjee is top notch. He gets back to you within the day with any answers to your questions, and thats especially notable given the time zone difference, (TOUCHBASE is located in England). If you have a Mac, and want a screen with touch ability, dont hesitate to go with TOUCHBASE. Their website is very comprehensive, with almost any question you might have addressed there, including a complete list of every touchscreen their software drivers have been tested with. Go for it!

Got it to monitor price activity as I roam a room and to react as needed .. does that fine but to use for close work the resolution would be disturbing. .

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.

This replaced a touch screen that was at least 10 years old. Wow, what a difference. It is very nice and very responsive. Also, nice sturdy base

...but be aware that you cannot run 2 on a single computer. Its linked to Dells own driver software.

Amazing! Crisp clear screen, touch works perfect, and color is great! Worth every cent

I love the full-tilt feature for creative apps and HD clarity/quality. Photos and videos look great.

worked right out of the box. I got this for my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter to run her ABCmouse program. with a touch screen monitor it works great for her. Very pleased. Soft to the touch for her little fingers.

So far Im loving this monitor. It works very well, and with some tweaking I was able to make the image and brightness come close to my other IPS gaming monitor. The image quality still isnt anything to write home about, but being an IPS panel means it already has great viewing angles and colors, so I cant really complain much about that. Its working great with Bitwig studio. The touch functionality in Windows 10 feels just as good as any other touch device Ive used. At first it was a little weird touching the screen because it feels like a regular monitor, but I got over that pretty quickly, and I definitely prefer the matte finish over a gloss finish. Glare and fingerprints are not an issue. My biggest gripe is related to the price($300 at the time of writing this review). IPS monitors have gotten much cheaper over the past year. Youre paying at least triple the price of a non-touch IPS. I have a hard time believing all the touch hardware raises the price so much when tablets and touchscreen laptops are cheap these days. Now Im okay with paying so much because its part of my workstation, but for someone who just wants to use a touch monitor with their computer for convenience, the price probably isnt worth it. I think they should drop it at least $50, and they should also offer a cheaper version that doesnt include the stand. Its a very nice, high-quality monitor stand, but I have mounted VESA stands that Id rather use. At the end of the day, the touchscreen works great with Windows 10, the image quality is good enough, and it doesnt look weird or out of place next to my other monitors. If you are okay with the price, then I see no reason not to get it.
