Dell S2415H 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

I bought this display primarily as a camera monitor for making largely boring YouTube videos. What I wanted was a very wide viewing angle, a crisp picture, and good color depth and contrast for a couple of hundred bucks. For the price, this monitor is amazing. It absolutely exceeded my expectations. Dell's site lists the viewing angle as 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically. There is a little bit of darkening of the far side of the screen when viewed nearly from the side, but I also own decent quality IPS monitors from HP and Asus and this Dell beats them out. Fresh from the factory the colors look great. They can probably use some tweaking, but the first thing I did with the monitor was throw on a couple of my own videos that I graded (not that I know what I'm doing), and they looked "right". White and grey fields were very consistent and even, except at extreme viewing angles. With a black field I was slightly disappointed with a noticeable backlight bleed in the lower-right corner when viewing straight on. It's pretty minor, and has a very smooth gradation which helps it from popping through unless the screen is very very dark. Contrast looks great, both in videos and in color charts. As with everything, this is a relatively cheap monitor so it's not perfect. But at this price point it's gotta be one of the best IPS displays out there. I work in IT, so I've handled a lot of monitors. This one has a quality feel. The fit and finish are very consistent, it has a nice weight (maybe "nice density" is a better term) and solidity. Though the stand lacks height adjustment (not often seen at this price anyhow) and the vertical swivel range is pretty small, it's pretty solid. The base isn't very wide, so if you press down on the top corner on either side it could easily tip over. (But why would you do that?) I haven't tested the speakers, because .. well, I didn't buy it for the speakers, and I'm going to take a guess and say that they're not very good. One awesome thing that I didn't see in the other reviews is that the monitor uses exactly the same power supply as Dell's low-end business laptops. The connector and power specifications (19.5V / 3.34A) makes it compatible with most of Dell's entire range of laptops. I know that doesn't sound so important, but if you have a Dell laptop and the power supply dies on you then you can just pull the one off your monitor while you wait for a replacement. If you've ever been stuck with a dead laptop, you know that could be a huge plus. It's also great because a replacement PSU for the monitor is extremely easy to find. (And you can trust me on this.. the monitor's PSU is currently powering and charging my trusty old Latitude E5410.) Oh, and I know that there's an Acer out there that's a bit cheaper with similar specs. The main reason I chose this one is because of the VESA mounting holes. Also, the Acer has ports that are rear-facing. If you're concerned about aesthetics, the S2415H has down-facing connectors, and a removable bezel to cover them. It's kinda irrelevant for me, but it's another little touch that puts the monitor above the rest. It comes with an HDMI cable, instructions, and a driver/whatever CD. Everything went in the garbage besides the HDMI cable. It's a real cheap cable -- not gold-plated -- but it's better than no cable at all. There is no VGA nor analog audio cable, both of which the monitor does support. Oh, and something I didn't realize until after I'd ordered: It has a glossy screen. For me that's not a problem, but it's not mentioned in the description here on Amazon. (It is mentioned in a couple of reviews, so if you're already down to mine then you probably already know that. Shame on me for not thoroughly reading the reviews first. ;) ). Obviously I'd recommend this monitor. I've seen far worse monitors for more money, but I don't think I've seen a better one for less.

Pros: Great picture quality, as expected of an IPS panel. Out of the box too, no tweaking really needed. Vibrant colors. Menus are easy to navigate. Decent response time of 6ms. Very thin bezels, looks sexy and perfect for dual monitor setup. VESA capable. Cons: No height adjustment or left/right tilt. Only supports minimal up/down tilt. Glossy screen. Don't let sunlight get to it. No DVI or DisplayPort connection, only VGA and HDMI. Who buys new PCs/monitors and uses VGA in this day and age? It's a 60Hz panel. Look elsewhere if you plan to play CSGO or any fast paced games, get a 144Hz TN instead. If you average FPS in games doesn't get higher than 60 then this monitor is perfectly fine. Compared to its matte big brother, the U2414H, you gain a faster response time (6ms vs 8ms on the U), a glossy screen (glossy vs matte is purely preference) and built-in speakers, at the expense of height/pivot adjustability, a DisplayPort, a mini DP, an HDMI and 4 USB 3.0 ports. Picture quality wise the two should be equal as they employ two very similar LG IPS panels (the difference being response time). Unless you absolutely need all the connectivities and luxury features of the UltraSharp line and most importantly can't tolerate a glossy screen, this monitor and the S line as a whole is a seious contender for its price.

I have owned two of these for over 6 months now, and have recently purchased a third. When I was looking for monitors, I had two requirements that they must meet. Those two requirements were: Small bezel Vesa compatible with out an adapter To my surprise there weren't many contenders that fit my criteria, many of the monitors I found either had a small bezel or was vesa compatible, not both. I found this one early on in my search, and the few others I found were mostly Dell as well. I didn't have a need for anything above 1920x1080 resolution so I ended up choosing this one over the others due to the size and price. I currently use these in a dual screen setup, and looking to upgrade to a quad screen. I use my monitors for everyday use, as well as gaming. I was told by a few review sites to expect ghosting in games due to the 6ms response time, but in my 6+ months of use I have not encountered this. The picture quality is great, and the colors are nice and vibrant. I recommend this monitor, and I plan on purchasing at least one more as long as the stock holds up. The only disappointment I have is it seems that Dell has stopped making these and their "new" model is lacking the small bezel.

Straight out of the box, Dead on Arrival, it drew not one breath nor had a single heartbeat. Dell's monitors are seemingly designed to satisfy most for the duration of its warranty, but durability, longevity and reliability are not part of its design. If quality control is the issue, then there is no control over the quality. Overall, Dell is a good company that makes well designed computers, but making something on the cusp of disposability, is an image unbecoming of an electronics manufacturer. Because quality (control) may be a problem, I would refrain from purchasing another Dell monitor; exemplary design and workmanship are not superficial qualities.

Muy buena pantalla solo no me gusta que el stand no tiene tanto movimiento. A mi me costó 3999 en diciembre, y ahorita veo que esta en 13mil, no la compren a ese precio.

Buen precio y la calidad de la imagen es bastante buena. De los mejores productos que he conseguido en Amazon.
