Dell S2421HS 24 Inch Full HD 1080p, IPS Ultra-Thin Bezel Monitor, Silver, Black

This 24” offering from Dell is another step in the direction they take every year, with very slight improvements each time. While it does have a 75Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync, there is nothing especially spectacular about this monitor. Its features include: • 75Hz refresh rate • AMD FreeSync • 4ms response time • IPS panel with matte antiglare • Near-edgeless design • VESA 100 mounting compatible • Adjustable stand allows for pan, tilt, height, and rotation Color usage on this monitor is very good due to the IPS display. The matte antiglare screen dumbs the colors slightly, but it still looks good. The near-edgeless display is nice, and the back of the monitor is pretty stylish. It is VESA 100 capable, which is a huge plus. The 75Hz refresh rate has been common in Dell monitors for years, and this is no exception. The inclusion of FreeSync is very much welcome, but beyond that, this is roughly the same monitor they put out last year, and the year before. It’s good, but offers very little image customization options beyond a helpful blue-light filter and some presets. The best thing about this specific monitor is the adjustable stand (which is optional). The stand is not only sturdy, it is also elegant. It allows for side-to-side panning, up & down tilting, height adjustment, and 90-degree rotation, which puts the monitor in portrait mode. It’s simple, it’s attractive, and it works very well. I also want to go over some of the negative aspects of this monitor. The screen’s maximum brightness is a paltry 250 nits. As a result, the contrast between light and dark elements is weak, and the screen may not get as bright as you might expect (though I have no complaints). This also means that HDR is not supported. There are no built-in speakers on this model either – for clarity, I received the S2421HS with adjustable stand. The monitor also has a poor viewing angle, but that is a fault of most IPS panels in general. Lastly, it is thicker than I expected, with a curved back that is thickest in the middle and thinnest near the edges. There is no shortage of 1080p monitors targeting the office/home office demographic, so a monitor either needs to stand out, or have already been a household name beforehand. This monitor unfortunately does not stand out from the pack, though it is attractive. With that said, it is a Dell product, and if Dell is anything, they are reliably consistent. That’s what you get with the S2421HS – a reliable, consistent, small step up from last year’s model. A no frills monitor that gets the job done. Therefore, I do recommend it, but not at its current price.

I got the 24 inch, adjustable model. Screen quality is great for everyday computing. Adjustability is fantastic to find the height and angle I want. However, I gave four stars because Amazons title on the ordering page is misleading. If you chose the adjustable options, the monitor DOES NOT have built in speakers. It does have an audio out port that I am able to hook up to a set of speakers

If you are into gaming or content creation, this is not the monitor for you. If you are a casual computer user and just need a reasonable monitor for your day-to-day emails and social media, look no further.

The dell screen was purchased as extra screen to help me with my school projects. Its been a convenient tool!

This is clearly not a top of the line monitor, nor is it advertised as such. Theres not much in the way of bells and whistles, but it does the basic job of being a solid monitor at a good price. Ive had it a little over a year and had no troubles with it. If it dies on me before the five year mark, Ill see if I can remember to come back here and add that little tidbit. So far, so good.

Arrived one day early and was packaged well for a monitor.

I bought this for my home office and I love it!! It has great picture quality and is bright. I used to be obsessed with LG monitors but this takes the cake. The fact that it moves up and down and I can rotate it to be vertical is even better. I will be purchasing another one.

This is a great little monitor for console gaming on the ps4/xbox one generation or as an office/school monitor. The colors are accurate and the build quality are really solid at its price. To me 24-25 inch monitors are the hotspot for getting work done or gaming as you can always see whats on your display without having to lean back at that size. There are many options in settings including a Gaming picture mode for you gamers! The menu is pretty easy to get around which is always a plus for calibration and other modes! Overall this is a solid monitor at a great value!

I needed to setup my home office with two monitors. One of them arrived with a shattered screen. The box was perfect so no idea when it wouldve been manhandled. Bottom line is they are honoring the return of 1 monitor and cant sell me a second one! So I will be stuck with mismatched monitors! Why cant new things just arrive the way you ordered them. I would expect this from little mom and pop sellers but I had higher expectations from Dell. I spent my money on 2 identical monitors Im now stuck with this one and I dont think its fair.

I lucked out getting this when it was half off! I was on a 10 year old Dell monitor, and figured it was time to upgrade. Dell makes very good monitors. One thing I immediately noticed was that the monitor shows TRUE white. A lot of monitors have a yellowish tint to the white. Its also BRIGHT, and the colors pop. Im visually impaired, and this has helped enormously. Im really not a gamer, but Netflix and Hulu look amazing! Two notes. Firstly, check the advanced display settings in Windows. By default, itll often use 60hz. Bump it up! Secondly, it DOES NOT have speakers. It has a headphone pass through. Im thoroughly satisfied.
