Dell - 24" LED HD Monitor - Black

I bought this on Black friday when it was 100 bucks, but i say 120 is still a great price. You don't usually find a 24" for that much. i was originally going to buy an Asus monitor to compliment my other Asus monitor for a a dual setup but for a 100 dollars i couldnt resist. Ive owned this nearly a month since this review, and not one problem yet. No flickering, dead pixels or any problems with the screen at all. I use this monitor as my main screen for gaming, the image is clear, crisp and the framerate does the job at 60hz. I love the that the buttons are on the front of the bezel; easy to press and simple to navigate. The image settings menu is quick and responsive. My only gripe with this monitor is not being able to adjust the height. I think adjustable height should be a standard for monitors. Now i have to buy a monitor stand or use a book or something.

I wasn't expecting too much out of this monitor so I'm not going to say anything bad about it. The price of the monitor was fairly cheap so as they say, you get what you pay for. The bottom line, if you're in need of a big monitor and you are on a budget... I'd say it's not a bad investment.

I wanted to get my dad a bigger monitor for his computer as a Christmas gift. He had a 20" diagonal and as he is getting older, I wanted to reduce any possible eye strain. But I also felt at 32" monitor would be too much related to how close he would be sitting to the screen. Luckily I found this monitor on Black Friday for a real steal. My dad opened it, was thrilled, and asked me to set it up for him. It took me about 5 minutes from the time the box was opened until it was attached and working on his computer. Simple assembly that requires NO tools. There is a base that gets screwed into the stand. It is not a separate flat head or Phillips head screw that requires a screwdriver, it is a bolt with a small handle on the end that you twist by hand, then flip it to the side when done twisting. Then the stand simply latches into the back of the monitor. The next part gave me minor problems but only took a few seconds to figure out. You need to thread the cables that attach to the back of the monitor through the gap in the stand and attach them to the back of the monitor, then attach a cover plate over top of the cables. I first attached the cables to the monitor and then attached the cover plate without first threading them through the stand. The instructions on this part are not clearly depicted or stated, but it only takes one try of trying to get the plug end through the gap in the stand before you realize they won't fit and need to redo it. Then just plug them into the back of the computer and a power outlet and it is up and running. I would recommend installing the software on the CD, then run a Windows Update and you are good to go. So again: easy assembly with no tools, 5 minutes to complete (and that involved a brief redo and detaching the old monitor), the picture quality is amazing, and I fell it was an amazing value!! My dad loves it and I couldn't be happier.

I wanted to get my parents a large monitor because they both wear glasses. This monitor is huge, and it's been over a year since I bought it and it is still working fine. No complaints from me or anyone in my family. I have not tried gaming on it, but for most everything you could want to use it for every day use (watching videos, word process, youtube, etc) it works great.

Got this monitor on sale for $100 Good Friday and the value is unbeatable. The size is perfect for working all day. the stand height is great- 4 in from desk to screen border and it fits perfectly under the hutch. It wakes up automatically with the computer and works seamlessly with the Macbook and its converter. It's adjustable, tiltable, not all that heavy and very easy to setup. The only con is sometimes it runs the scrolling lines on white backgrounds. This has happened rarely and usually goes away in a minute or two. It is not constant like some Asus/Acer screens I've seen. The picture quality is great for work or home use. It's even fine for editing pictures and watching movies. Overall great buy- get it now while on sale!

After more than six months using this monitor. I can safely say it is a good buy, there might be newer revisions of this monitor but I haven't had any issues with it nor with the setup. I was able to match the color and other settings to the other monitor I have so the difference is not noticeable.

This monitor is so sharp and clear. I really like the incredible clarity. The colors are very, very accurate. I do enough photo editing to see the colors match the real item. I have not had to do any adjusting after plugging it in. I had purchased a different Dell for $20 less that was no comparison to this monitor. I have had good monitors in the past but nothing as good as this monitor. I have lots of sunlight coming into the room I use this in. The only time I get a reflection is when the sun is shining directly on my with a low winter sun. Easily solved by lowering a window covering slightly for the brief time this occurs.

I purchased two of these monitors to replacing my aging Acer AL2216W 22" LCD. I am quite pleased with the improved picture quality over this older model monitor. That said, these monitors simply do not compete with higher quality IPS panels. It is still very obvious that these are not high DPI displays. At 1920x1080 on a 24" monitor, sit too close and you'll see pixels. Sit too far off center and the colors are washed out at the edges. One minor annoyance is that while Dell does include an option to turn off the power LED while the monitor is on, the LED comes back on when the monitor goes to sleep. Luckily, if you turn off the monitor using the power button, the light does go out. If you have this monitor in your bedroom, you'll want to manually turn it off if you don't want a pulsing night light. Overall, I am quite pleased with my purchase. These monitors should hold me over until the high DPI displays become more affordable.
