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

I am an application developer (programmer) during the day and a hobbyist photographer with dreams of making it big someday in the photography industry. This monitor is amazing for both. This monitor is both a horizontal and vertical monitor. It works in both orientations and is simple to rotate. I set this up next to my normal (horizontal) monitor in the vertical orientation. It is awesome for web browsing, Microsoft Outlook (or similar email program), Twitter, and portrait photos. Generally, anything where you have long-form scrolling, this works great. I originally thought the bottom bezel with the Dell log was going to bother me when I put it in the vertical position, but it hasnt at all, and I dont even see it anymore. This is a great monitor for vertical tasks and makes a nice wide monitor for horizontal tasks. Overall, I am very pleased with it and recommend it.

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

Great for expanding the home office.

The monitor works great, but beware of the SHORT power cord that comes standard with this Dell monitor. The power cord is a laughable 3 ft. Assuming you set the monitor at the edge of your desk and your power outlet / surge protector is elevated (not on the floor), youll be fine. Otherwise, this length of a cord will only reach about halfway down the desk. Expect to purchase a replacement power cord that is longer. I have owned many Dell monitors before and the power cords have always been longer than this.

Frankly, not much of a review of the screen itself because its perfect. Might as well be a photograph. I do note the viewing angle is so wide that it has no color or picture shifting even when you look at it totally from the side edge on. I do stream video sometime on it (Amazon Prime Video, NetFlix, etc.) and I might as well be watching a TV. I Dont use it for gaming (I dont do shot em ups or GTA stuff) so cant comment about that. Specs look good, but gamers are super hard core about bleeding, ghosting, etc. so no opinion there. I will say that blacks are very black, which is good, not the funky dark brown/green/blotchy/yuk stuff. I had a SE2717H (prior model of this one) that died after being on 24/7 for over two years. My other SE2717H is going strong and right next to this one. Picture is awesome, I love the IPS screen and I can work all day on it with no eye strain. IPS is all I buy anymore for myself or recommend to others. There are slightly better technologies out there now, but not for the money, especially MY money.

This is an ok work monitor. Its best strength is probably its stand. It has the clip in system so you could use a wall mounted holder if needed. If your not wall mounting the stand is very flexible. You can adjust up and down, tilt it backwards and forwards, and angle it left and right of the horizon and swivel. There is not enough clearance to switch the monitor to portrait mode. As to the monitor itself it seems to have some consistency issues. Ran it on 3 different laptops using a combination of HDMI and Display Port and docks and the image quality varied. This contrasts with a much older monitor I have of the same size/resolution that looked the same on all those systems. On the back it uses a standard computer power plug (no external power supply needed). It has HDMI and display port interfaces. Seems to do better with HDMI. This is best used as a secondary monitor were critical sharpness and color rendition are not necessary.

Been using this for a year or two as an everyday work monitor to dock my MacBook into. Colors are holding, brightness is holding, doesnt do anything unexpected; overall kind of exactly what Id want in a monitor for mostly writing content and consuming the internet.

This is false advertising, the monitor comes with a cd ( who uses CD), tried to download drivers. Everything was not fruitful. No speakers detected, so no sound or conference calls happening. Don’t waste your money. Returning mine so I’m trying to save someone else time and money
