Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am extremely impressed by this monitor. For the asking price ($120 at the time of writing), you get a monitor with some fantastic specifications that aren't just for show. There's one minor quirk I think anyone purchasing this should know, but it's something that's pretty easy to work around, if it's a problem at all. To begin with, this monitor has, to my eye, some excellent colors. I don't know about the actual numbers for color accuracy that you get using software, but to my eye, this looks fantastic. Colors are bright and vibrant, and blacks get quite dark for being a standard IPS LCD. It's no OLED, of course, but it still manages to look great regardless. Using it for some art, web browsing, and basic productivity tasks, there was no point where the colors were noticeably off or wrong. The monitor gets quite bright, too. Bright enough that you definitely shouldn't have any issues in any lighting. Out of the box, it starts at 75% of its maximum brightness, and personally, I found that I like it at about 85%, but it's good all the way up and down the gamut. It will give you a warning when you try to put the brightness above 75%, telling you that it will consume more power, which is good to know. The responsiveness of this monitor is excellent. It's listed as 1ms, and it feels like 1ms, which is to say that it's imperceptible. I expected it to be much higher, since this isn't meant to be some high-end gaming monitor or anything, but no. I feel that I could game on this if I wanted to, and not notice ghosting or extra latency from my input to the monitor. The high refresh rate also rivals many high-end gaming monitors at 144hz. If your cable and your computer are capable of outputting those frames, it is smooth as butter, with no noticeable ghosting. Even doing the little UFO test, it looks fantastic. Again, this is a feature I'd expect to see on a high end gaming monitor, not something you can pick up for $120. There's a couple of caveats, though they're minor. The first is that it's only 1080p. Of course, that's listed everywhere, both on the box and on the website, but it is worth noting that if you wanted to use this for video editing, artwork, or gaming, you'll have some limitations due to the resolution. It looks great for 1080p, but it can never be as crisp as a 1440p or 4K monitor. The second thing is that there are 2 inputs, and both are HDMI. Most computers, consoles, and whatever other input you can think of have HDMI on them somewhere, so it shouldn't be an issue for most, but I do think it's noteworthy, as it's pretty unusual. I don't think I've ever seen a monitor before this one that didn't have more than one kind of connector, except for an ancient VGA monitor I had back in the 00s. Whatever the case may be, I have nothing negative to say about this monitor whatsoever. It looks great, it has a high refresh rate and low input latency, and I can see this being useful as a budget gaming monitor, or a very high end productivity monitor. Would absolutely recommend if you're in the market for a 1080p monitor.

Dell gets straight to the point. Do you need a beautiful FHD, that's going to look great in your office space? I've got'chu, Boo (as the kids say in the streets.), or at least, I think they'd say that. I'm also out of touch. Not when it comes to a really good 24" monitor, though. Desk-top or laptop, this screen integrates seamlessly, with a simple connection the included HDMI cable. Oh! I guess you'll want to know what comes inside the box. Wouldn't you? Here ya go. Upon opening the box, you're instantly greeted with your power source, and HDMI cable. The base for the adjustable stand (Yes. Up and down, to adjust to your eye placement.) and the screw kit, for easy installation. The holes, in the back, are placed perfectly for the optional floating stand you may want to go with (sold separately.) There are four buttons on the right undercarriage of the screen, right next the power button. So, you can call those 5 buttons. These are for setting up your preferable display, of course. Even though this monitor isn't specifically for gaming. You still are looking at a 144Hz FreeSync IPS LCD FHD screen with minimal bezels. So, you know you'll get some pretty visuals while gaming, if you choose to do so. However, I recommend video editing with this one but do with it what you will. The problem that I always bring up, is still yet to be addressed, but for the price and general use of this particular model, I should let it slide. That doesn't mean that I won't complain about it, though. Where are my integrated speakers? As a matter of fact. I don't even see a 3.5 mm jack. Again, this isn't a unit designed for entertainment purposes. Although, you can be entertained with it. This is for a PC. So, if you're looking for a screen for your console, you're gonna need to shell out a few extra tokens for that. In the end, I wanted to deduct points for the minor things that it's lacking, but truthfully, it does what it is totally designed to do, and you'll get extra depending on the PC that you're using it on.

The Dell SE2426HS is primarily a basic 24 inch computer monitor optimized of gaming as it is capable (and I would not say basic) running at 1080p and at 144hz. Measuring at a height of 19 inches from base to top bezel and a width of around 21 inches it seems to have an aspect ratio of 16:9. Coming in at a matte black finish with an adjustable height and a tilt function, this monitor would sit fine at any desk. Though it is said that it is VESA mount compatible, resources are in conflict and looking at the back, the stand uses small screws and as of this writing, I have no reliable means of verifying that it is VESA compatible without using an adapter of some sort. It is a 144hz monitor using Freesync technology ensuring smooth motion. Performance seems to be standard but not impressive, but then again I am using this with an Intel i7 chip with a GTX4060 gpu. Response may be a bit faster if I have used an AMD based PC. But overall, performance is good. The colors are bright but not overbearing and would satisfy gamers and non-gamers alike. Only the nitpickers will complain. At the back of the unit, one can find the power socket and two HDMI ports. There is no display port capability in this monitor. The underside on the right side has the power and control buttons. In general, there is nothing really that would separate this model from others. But what can be said is that this product performs as expected and at its price point a good value for money. I’d still recommend this monitor to others.

If you are looking for a monitor that will fit most budgets, this Dell model is a terrific option. Pros: - Easy, pain-free assembly. Packaging was well designed to protect the screen during shipping. - The IPS LCD screen has beautiful and sharp colors. It's good sized at 24". - The mount was one of my favorite features allowing you to tilt to find the best angle, but more importantly, includes the capability to rotate the screen fully to switch from landscape to portrait. Some people love to work with secondary monitors in this position so it's great to have that option. - The cord guide on the back of the frame perfectly helps hide the cords from view and keeps things organized. - Multiple HDMI ports are available (2). - Power and toggle buttons are easy to find and intuitive to navigate. - Solid specs with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. Cons: - Besides HDMI, there are no other options to connect devices to this monitor. This is not unusual though for a monitor at a lower price point. - No USB ports are on board. Overall, this monitor is an excellent option for anyone looking for a good monitor that doesn't need every bell and whistle. You really get good value for your dollar.

This is a basic monitor that serves its purpose. It supports AMD FreeSync and can output a 144 Hz refresh rate, which is pretty nice for an entry-level monitor. It also has a 1 ms response time. It doesn’t have a DisplayPort input, but there are two HDMI 1.4 ports. Installation is quick and easy with all the tools provided. I use this monitor for my Mac Mini and it’s been working great. At Full HD resolution on a 24-inch screen, text and images look crisp and clear. The IPS panel offers excellent value, and it’s versatile for a variety of uses such as gaming, work, and entertainment. I have several monitors ranging from high-end OLED displays to mid-range and entry-level IPS panels, and this one delivers a lot for an entry-level monitor. The panel quality is excellent, and I don’t notice any glare under normal ambient lighting. The monitor stand is functional and offers height and tilt adjustments. The dual HDMI inputs are very useful so I can quickly connect the monitor to my laptop for a dual screen setup. Bottom line: this is an excellent entry-level monitor. It lacks DisplayPort input, but it doesn’t really matter for my purpose.

The Dell 24" IPS LCD FHD 144Hz FreeSync Monitor (model SE2426HS) is a great monitor that I plan to keep to use mostly for group projects. When my small work group comes over to brainstorm, having one monitor so we can all see as we strategize and make changes makes our projects so much easier to work on. Also, I find this monitor is just fine to use for games such as Fortnite where a bit of jitter or lag doesn't affect gameplay. This is not a gaming monitor, but certainly smaller and simpler games can easily be played without noticeable issue. Watching a movie via streaming did provide a noticeable jitter. Not a lot, but enough to be a slight distraction. The colors look fairly accurate, certainly close enough. The monitor is easy to set-up: simply slip the arm/riser onto the base/stand. It will click in place and then you easily tighten it with the built-in fastener under the base. Then attach the arm to the back of the monitor with screws. I do have an issue with the 4 screws I needed to screw the monitor onto the arm. Other monitors I have had just click in at the back. It's not that big of a deal, they did supply the 4 screws and a little screwdriver. I may just be getting lazy! This does not have a display port, just 2 HDMI ports, which works well for me. They do provide one HDMI cord. The provided power cord is a standard one. This is full HD in a somewhat small size of 24" which keeps everything on the display clear and bright and their "TÜV Rheinland 3‑star* certification" works to help reduce blue light and I actually believe I see a difference with this monitor. It is much more comfortable on my eyes than a bright screen. This does have extremely thin bezels, which makes for a nice look and it has a wide viewing angle so that everyone can clearly see the screen no matter where they are sitting (if they are facing the screen of course!). Note: there are no speakers on this monitor. Overall, the Dell SE2426HS 24" IPS LCD FHD 144Hz FreeSync Monitor is a good monitor and though it's not a high-end monitor by any means, it is certainly good enough for everyday applications, and budget friendly. For basic usage - projects, documents, email, school etc., this monitor would get my recommendation.

Our business is using this as a secondary monitor for a dual monitor display. It is crisp and the stand is very strong. Easy to put together. Price was affordable as well.

The monitor is particularly nice looking and sharp. It makes my other monitor look like a dinosaur and I might need to upgrade that one now. It has extremely thin bizzles surrounding the screen. Which makes it look like there is basically no frame at all. Visually, the screen is very nice to look at. It has great clarity. The colors are really bright and vivid. It has buttons on the bottom of the screen for adjustment and power settings. The buttons are pretty small, which is fine for me as I have small fingers. The sliding mount is a really awesome feature and simple to use. It easily lets you adjust the height of the monitor to whatever suits you best. Using the vesa to mount the monitor to the stand is pretty nice because then you can switch quite easily from a horizontal setup to a vertical setup. The monitor has a cable management ring on the back of the stand which conveniently helps keep the cable nice and tidy. The only con for this monitor is that it doesn’t have a display port, which seems kind of unbelievable.

I've been using an older Dell monitor that worked well enough, but it just never quite gave me what I wanted from a dual purpose monitor. If I'm not working on spreadsheets and workflows, I'm doing online and PC games. I didn't want to go with a monitor that is specifically made for gaming because I don't need all of the features when I'm working. I would say I'm working 75% of the time and then the other 25% would be gaming as far as when I'm using my computer. The high refresh rate of 144Hz is good for gaming. It does not have any built-in speakers and only has two HDMI connections. If you are looking for a dual monitor setup, this wouldn't be the ideal monitor for that unless you invest in a docking station, which is the way i have mine setup. I do like that there is a method to calibrate the display settings and make it work best for your situation. Once I set mine up, its pretty much stationary and I dont make alot of adjusts. The height adjust is good and easy to do, but the base does not swivel, so if you need that feature, this wouldnt be the monitor for you. The display is pretty clear and the color is great in my opinion. Overall, this is a slightly above average monitor and is ideal for office type work, but can double as a moderate gaming monitor.

So I received my new Dell 24” IPS LCD 144Hz FreeSync Monitor a few days ago, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I needed another monitor to setup an older Mac mini desktop in my spare bedroom and this was just the monitor for the job. This would be the first Dell product that I’ve owned it a long time. No issues with Dell, just usually go with another brand. Inside the box: * 24 “ Dell Monitor * Power Adapter and Cord * HDMI Cable * Flat Base * Stand/Back * Screwdriver & 4 Screws * User Documentation Setup if really easy. Just use take the stand/back and attach it the to the base using the included loop spin screw that’s already installed on the base; tighten that to the stand/back. Next, using the included screwdriver and screws, attach the stand to the back of the monitor and that’s it. You will noticed on the monitor as far as ports, there’s only 2 HDMI ports which is all I needed to for this desktop setup, and the power port to plug in the power cable. I connected the HDMI to the back of the monitor and to the Mac mini and that was it. This monitor does not have speakers, so you will need some to connect to your computer. At the bottom right of the monitor underneath is the power button as well as 4 other buttons that control the menu function on the monitor. I didn’t have to tweak the buttons at all since the monitor was quickly recognized by my Mac and the colors seemed accurate for the type of monitor it is. This is not a fancy monitor like LED or OLED for that matter but it gets the job done as for a spare computer.

Bottom Line Up Front: This monitor is a good bargain and is highly recommended. The monitor works great, has convenient physical attributes, setup is easy, and the Dell support and product information is excellent too. You can rotate the monitor 90 degrees for portrait mode. The performance is excellent – although nothing too out of this world. However, given its price, easy of use, downloadable documentation, and ease of use, it is a good buy. Details: This is an In-Plane Switching monitor so unless you need deep blacks, this is the choice for you. It has a standard 16:9 aspect ratio and rated specs of 300 cd/m2, 1000:1 contrast ratio and 167 million colors. It has an anti-glare coating and a response time of 1 ms. There are two HDMI ports supporting standard FHD 1920x1080 and nothing higher which is expected at this price point. There is nothing else – no DP or USB ports or speakers. Dell advertises a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. In a nutshell, the specs are fairly standard for a monitor but at a great price point. What does stand out is the fact that this monitor comes with a very nice stand that is easily attachable. Dell provides the screwdriver to attach the monitor to the stand with its four M4x10mm VESA 100mm x 100mm screw layout. You then attach the unit to the stand base by turning the internal swivel thumbscrew without the need of a tool. Besides being easy to set up, you can tilt It between 5 and 21 degrees up and back. There is a nice built in height adjustment to raise and lower the height of the monitor as well. Dell claims it has a lazy Susan swivel adjust (rotating base plate) for side-to-side adjustments, but I’m not sure that works all that well - I just rotated it on my desktop and the whole unit seemed to rotate. The stand also comes with a convenient cable management clip. What really stands out and is outstanding is the ability to rotate the screen 90 degrees to either use it in portrait or landscape mode. Nice touch! Included are a detachable power cable and an HDMI cable. The monitor has a built-in security lock slot (cable not included). I do appreciate that Dell makes documentation easy to find on their web site. There is a nice 52-page user’s manual in a PDF format that is easily downloadable which provides details on the physical setup, the fairly typical on-screen menu adjustments and specifications. You may not need any of that, but I find it informative and useful….and mandatory for any product! Nice job Dell. Using the monitor is easy. The on-screen controls are intuitive. I played with them, but I really didn’t need to change anything. Windows recognized the monitor immediately. The monitor is clear and bright, with good colors and response rate. It is fantastic – especially at this price point. Summary: As I write this, I noticed this monitor is on sale for less than $100. But even at the price at which I obtained this, it represents a good bargain. The performance is great as is the setup, documentation, and especially, the stand. Highly recommended.

What can I say about the Dell SE2426HS monitor that hasn't already been said? It's a great 24” dual HDMI Full 1080p IPS matte screen monitor that allows for full rise and tilt. While I have the 24-inch model, the same monitor is also available in 27-inch. Whichever monitor you pick, it comes with a sleek, borderless frame that supports dual-monitor setups with seamless extended viewing, making for immersive gaming or just better work from home. This monitor is quite basic as it comes to inputs, and I love that aspect of it, no fluff, just what you need, 2 HDMI input ports. What sets it apart from other monitors is the full rise and tilt to adjust the monitor just the way you want it, without going for a full-motion mount. The monitor base is easy to assemble, and the base plate connects to the VESA screws if you need a full-motion mount. The monitor is well built and easy to live with. For daily use, this monitor works perfectly fine. Colors are accurate, though I wish they were a tad brighter at times. The display controls are easy-to-use buttons at the bottom of the monitor, and the on-screen prompts make navigation easy. The 144 Hz refresh rate with a 1ms response time makes for a fluid gaming experience with an AMD FreeSync-capable graphics card. The image quality in the darker scenes is perfectly acceptable for a monitor in this price range. I have no complaints about its gaming pedigree, considering this is marketed at a price point that exceeds expectations in both form and function for an entry-level IPS-capable matte-screen monitor. What I love: The frameless monitor that tilts, elevates, and twists; the matte screen that is easy on your eyes; and the quick refresh rate. What I don't love: Plugging in cables by feel; it needs a marker showing where the HDMI ports are.

Taking this Dell SE2426HS 24" IPS monitor out of the box to set up, I was annoyed to find that the monitor panel needed to be screwed onto the support arm with four tiny screws with a screwdriver, which at least was supplied. Nowadays I thought every monitor panel would be just a snap-on type of attachment to the arm. After dealing with this minor inconvenience and connecting the monitor to my PC, my annoyance changed to surprised and delighted at the vibrant color this monitor displays! The color really pops on this IPS panel. I wouldn't have guessed that I'd get such a good picture on a budget monitor. Also, this monitor has great specs with 1920 x 1080 FHD resolution, 1ms response time, 144Hz refresh rate and FreeSync, making it capable of decent gaming. In fact, I've done some gaming on it, and it performs very well, better than I expected. Smooth action, great color, detail, and brightness, and no stuttering or tearing. The height and viewing angle are adjustable. It also has a rotating plate built into the bottom of the base so the monitor can be easily turned from side to side. It has 2 HDMI ports and the standard OSD buttons & power button on the bottom right. No speakers. A power cord, HDMI cable and quick start guide come with the monitor. This is a terrific monitor, budget or not. Unless you want a bigger, OLED, or high-end competitive gaming monitor, there's no reason to spend more on a monitor. I highly recommend this one.

I was shopping for an inexpensive monitor that delivered a great viewing experience for a reasonable price. The specifications for this monitor certainly looked impressive. A refresh rate of 144Hz, a resolution of 1920 x 1080, a refresh rate of 1 millisecond, and an IPS panel. For work and play, this was my list of must haves. What set this one apart from the others is the 3 year warranty and fully adjustable stand. Of note here is that the monitor only supports 2 HDMI inputs, and does not have internal speakers. Neither of those is a deal breaker for me since I prefer external speakers and for my systems, the HDMI connection is all I need. I point this out in case your requirements include a different input type or internal speakers. Setting up the monitor is a breeze. You need to attach the stand with the included screws using the included screwdriver. Then connect the included HDMI cable and power and it’s ready to go. With the second HDMI port, you can easily switch between inputs. The performance really punches above its price. The color, detail, and brightness are better than I expected. With FreeSync it even handles gaming well with the outstanding response time. At this price you won’t be disappointed. It’s a solid performer with the backing of Dell.

What a fantastic little display! The key word being "little", at 24" and 1080p... In a vacuum, I have zero complaints about this monitor. The colors look great, the 144Hz is incredibly snappy for gaming and for everyday use, the viewing angles are great - but there's just a little catch with the resolution. When plugged into a PC, a Chromebook, and my Linux desktop, this display was everything I could have hoped for...but then I plugged it into my Mac. MacOS assumes at this point your display is higher resolution than 1080p, because almost everything on screen was blurry and pixelated. It's a total complete non-issue with other operating systems, so this is not the fault of the monitor at all. The other big highlight for me is the included monitor mount. It's effortless to raise and lower the display, and you can adjust it to a big range of viewing angles. The cherry on top is the dual HDMI input - and the fact that the display is powered by an IEC cable straight into the monitor with no need for an external power adapter. I'm very pleased to add this monitor to my setup and you will be too - provided you're not trying to run MacOS on a 1080p screen.
