Not working well old staff I having hard tirm it goes in the stable mode

Now that my wife agreed that we did in fact need another monitor, I was able to get her to say yes to this Dell 24" FHD monitor. At first, I wasn't sure how it would look, since the triple-monitor mount that this new monitor will be sitting next to is all black filled with black monitors. However the white base blends in with my desk, the black bezel that the design retains appears to float next to the others in my setup, somehow making it no different, other than branding, than any of the other monitors on my desk. Sadly, the aesthetics of the molded white plastic on the back, stylized to evoke images of a serene zen pebble garden are wasted on its sole audience, the "ambient sensor" on the wall embedded into my home's smart thermostat. I usually use headphones or earbuds when using the computer, since I don't want to have to plug yet another thing in for a set of computer speakers, and usually the built in speakers on monitors are laughably bad, like trying to listen to radio playing in the background of the phone conversation you are having. But when my daughter asked if she could hear the game I was playing while testing out the monitor, I swapped the output device to the new monitor and was genuinely dazzled by the quality of the audio. These speakers are impressively loud. I had the media source volume on my mixer set all the way down to 9%, with a Youtube video set to 15% within the app, and with the monitor's own volume setting to 50%, and I could still easily hear the video over the sound of my washing machine. That's after I turned everything way down after accidentally blasting out the audio for the cooking video that I was uploading earlier. I do wish there was a separate set of buttons to control the volume directly in a pinch instead of the convoluted menu system that everyone loves to build into their monitors, but then again I'm already checking three separate sliders to figure out which one to turn down. The second hdmi slot on the back of the monitor is beneath a removable panel that looks to be just big enough to hide a raspberry pi or a streaming stick of some kind, while another panel covers up the attachment points if you want to use a VESA mount. I like that it comes with its own screws inserted, saves me from having to dig through the old bin of assorted computer parts. While not expressly billed as a gaming monitor, I was surprised to see that this monitor supports a 100hz refresh rate. It also has some blue light reduction capabilities (though since I started editing videos late in the evening, I have to turn this off to get accurate color). I'm pretty happy with this monitor. I like the floating effect from the white base and stand, and the audio is the best that I've ever experienced from built-in speakers on a monitor, especially a flat panel display. The stand does allow you to adjust the angle of the monitor up and down a little bit, 21° up or 5° down, but not side to side. I haven't decided yet whether this is going to stay where it is on my desk, or if it will be assimilated into the the mounting system, but it does look pretty nice where it is, and matches the white gaming handheld pc that I'm typing this from.

Grabbed this to replace an aging TV I'd been using as a PC display and I couldn't be happier. The design language is attractive, it has some nice features, it's light weight enough for almost anyone to move around, and it's got some nice features. In the box you get the display, a tool-less stand that quickly assembles with thumb screws and clicks into place, a power cable, an hdmi cable, and some snap in panels to keep things looking nice on the back. Setup was quick and easy, and if you didn't immediately understand how to set it up there's a very nice, very large full color quick start guide. Honestly I was really impressed with the way this was packaged. One side of the box lifts up and the bottom unfolds to present you everything very neatly. At the end of the day it's not super important, but the way everything was so cleanly and efficiently laid out was great. Nice presentation. The main draw for this as a replacement was the built-in speakers, which you know are never great. EXCEPT that they are! Out of the box the speakers are turned to max volume which is legit painful to the ears. There are two buttons on the back right side of the monitor, a kind of indented power button and the OSD joystick. I hate the osd menu. Pressing up or down changes your brightness which is nice I guess, but a far more useful and practical function would be volume control. You have to press in on the joystick to open the OSD menu, scroll to the right, then press the joystick again to enter the volume adjustments. That's three inputs before you can change the volume. Terrible design IMO, but what are you going to do. There are plenty of other settings to mess with which, let's be real, you'll likely never touch. Not a fan of the way monitor settings are controlled. The display itself is fantastic. It's nice and bright, hits good contrast without being super washed out (for an IPS display, this isn't an OLED after all), and is great for productivity or day to day PC stuff. The 100hz refresh rate is nice. I've been using higher refresh rate displays exclusively for years now, and that extra 40hz makes everything just feel snappier and smoother. Good stuff. You could definitely game on this, but you're going to want to enable vsync to avoid any screen tearing since this doesn't have any form of VRR. This isn't an issue, that's not really what this monitor is for. The stand gets the job done. I'm a fan of the large square/rectangular footprint as I like to put my phone or other stuff under the monitor. It only features tilt adjustment though, no pivot or swivel, which again at this price point is normal. The back panel is made of plastic with a nice-looking grooved texture type thing going on. I like the look, but I just know dust is going to collect in there like mad. If the back of your monitor is visible and you're like me, you'll be cleaning the back of this thing very frequently - especially if you have a little dust generator (aka pets) in the house. The plastic itself feels a little flimsy, particularly the IO and VESA mount covers. Still I'm not mad. Exercise a tiny bit of care and you're not going to have any issues. Round back you get 2 hdmi ports which is nice if you have a second PC, console, or something else you'd like to use. It's convenient. But the real draw is ... THE SPEAKERS! They're great. I'm genuinely surprised at how good they are. Crisp audio without completely blown out high frequencies, and surprisingly rich on the lower freqs. Obviously they're not going to compete with high end external speakers, but I think they match if not exceed the quality of a lot of the cheaper external speakers on the market. I'm very impressed. Streaming video from your favorite services sounds great on this. The only issue is that you have to hit multiple key strokes on the joystick to adjust the volume. Terrible. You're better off using the software volume controls in whatever OS you're using, unless of course it's a console or something in which case you're boned and have to deal with the joystick. TLDR Overall, this is a great monitor as a primary display or as a secondary (or third or whatever). The image is great and has good color calibration out of the box, nothing crazy oversaturated which is pretty common. The specs claim 99% sRGB color gamut, but I can't speak to that. I don't have the hardware for that sort of testing calibration, but to my eye it looks great. The speakers are fantastic, though the controls leave much to be desired. You can even game on this if you want, though it's not the ideal monitor for the job. It's good. good for: productivity, gaming, content consumption

The Dell S2425H 24" IPS Monitor comes with a LED FHD 100Hz screen that supports HDMI. The monitor comes in an Ash White color. The products is well packaged in the box and is easy to install and setup. The stand pieces that have to be assembled are made of metal with a nice coating over the metal. It’s not made of cheap plastic like other monitors I’ve used. The monitor only supports HDMI and no other connection types. It comes with two HDMI ports, and HDMI 1 and HDMI 2. The HDMI port is located underneath the back part of the monitor. It’s quite difficult to plug the HDMI cable because the plus is recessed under a piece of trim. I have to lay the monitor down in order to plug the cable into the monitor. However, the HDMI 2 port is much easier. I’m able to clearly see it. It’s located behind a removable plastic panel that’s easy to snap on and snap off. The screen quality of the monitor is pretty good. It wasn’t as crips as I’d hope, but it’s doable. I was really looking forward to having a monitor with speakers. The speakers to me are pretty bad. It sounds like having a speaker inside an empty coke can. I’m also unable to control the volume using the volume keys on my MacBook keyboard since it appears Apple doesn’t support controlling such devices. I had to install a 3rd party app in order to control the volume. If not, the monitor would play at full volume with being able to be controlled by my MacBook. Overall, it’s decent monitor with having speakers as an added bonus.

The Dell S2425H 24" IPS LED FHD 100Hz Monitor (HDMI) in Ash White is not just a respectable bargain, it's a smart investment. At the entry level price point, this monitor offers a solid purchase for anyone looking for value quality and affordability. Out of the box, the monitor is clean with a very minimalist aesthetic. The ash white finish gives off a very chic vibe and could complement any setup. The monitor is adorned with a thin bezel, and it works really well on this small display. The incorporation of a cable management system is a nice co-complement to the units' already minimalist attitude. To me, the most surprising attribute of this monitor was not the display but the built-in speakers. Traditionally, monitors at any price point are not known for their great sound, with some not even having internal speakers at all. I had to read up a bit on how this monitor is able to sound as well as it does, and it simply comes down to the power and acoustical design. To be fair and consistent where we have the monitor helps amplify the sound to some degree, but it is perfect for our needs without peripheral speakers. Very cool feature in my book, and honestly, where this monitor earned a five star review from me. As a display monitor, the monitor is what the monitor is… An entry level monitor that looks good, offers full HD, and has a good frame rate for “some” things. The picture is clear and did not require any real adjustments to achieve a great picture across the media formats we have used it in. I enjoyed scrolling daily, using the red app, watching sports, and watching movies, but I would only play selected video games. I play a lot of top tier games that need high resolution, millisecond response times, and high frame rates to really exploit the visual value of those titles. Again, that said, I am not the target audience, but my wife absolutely is. She has it on her desk and uses it for crafts, movies, reading, office work, and we all use it for a litany of other things. All in, this monitor is sleek and nicely balanced with a good picture display and great sound. I have to give this a thumbs up for style, price, and functionality.

Opening up the box and setting up the monitor was easy and straightforward. I like the fact that the packaging opts for more sustainable paper and less plastic. The base connects to the stand with an easy to secure screw and then simply snaps into the monitor with a simple push and click. Not sure how easy it would be to loosen the plastic clips to remove the stand, but I’ll deal with that if needed in the future. The one mildly annoying thing was the cord keeper that snaps onto the stand is so easy to knock out of place if you grab the stand to pick up. For connectivity options you get 2 HDMI connections, one vertical and one horizontal. It might have been nice to have a display port in addition to or instead of a second HDMI for more options. The power button and control joystick are located on the bottom right of the backside, easy to find and use. I found the menus to be well laid out and intuitive. For control of some monitor settings from your PC you can download and install the Dell Display and Peripheral Manager application. For adjustment options you get a 21deg to 5deg tilt from back to front. There are no height or swivel adjustment options for this monitor. I also found the 2 plastic panels that snap on the back to be a strange design element. One hides the horizontal HDMI port and cable, the other covers up the VESA mount screw holes. They fit rather loosely and don’t seem to do that much for the aesthetics. For a semi budget monitor, you get great colors, good view angles, better than average 100Hz refresh and energy star low power consumption.

The Dell 2425H is a really nice widescreen monitor at a very reasonable price, perfect for a home office or watching videos. Setup is simple, with the parts going together in a logical manner and no tools required. The ash white (really more of a light grey) color is a nice visual break from the standard black stand. The controls are on the back of the unit rather than the bottom like my other monitors. Once you get used to it, it’s actually a better setup, as you can’t accidentally change your settings while reaching for something nearby. This Dell monitor has excellent image quality. Color is quite good, and images are very clear. The preset levels allow you to adjust for individual settings and prefers, or you can customize it to your taste. Black levels are good, and there is no blurring or other artifacts when displaying moving images. What surprised me the most about this monitor was the audio. My other monitors offer audio, but it’s generally very thin sounding and sometimes so quiet that it’s hard to hear. The Dell 2425H’s audio is crystal clear and loud enough to be useful. If you’re looking for a very high quality, mid-sized monitor that works great and comes from a trusted brand, you need look no further than this offering from Dell.

Using this as a secondary monitor, primarily for video streaming and video calls. The picture quality is ideal for both scenarios. My primary monitor has a better refresh rate so this one is relegated to 2nd fiddle. It would perform quite well as a primary monitor, but I am not using it that way so I will be focused on image quality during video playback. There are 2 HDMI ports. Integrated speakers are not used, I am using a headset most of the time for audio. Image quality is very nice. There is no ghosting of images and color reproduction is pretty spot on. Default settings out of the box seem to be the best setup for color balance and performance. Menu navigation is done via a joystick under the front of the monitor. It works pretty well, but I do prefer multiple buttons along with a joystick for navigation. It is too easy to mis-click with the button/joystick integrated together. Menus are a standard layout like most Dell monitors. The monitor will tilt, but height is pretty much a fixed height. It was very easy to assemble. Overall, this is a very good monitor. I have not found any issues with it. I really can't find a reason to drop a star.

I really like this 24" monitor. I have a office with a cabinet above my desk and it was set where a 27" won't fit under it without wedging. This fits perfectly and for a entry level monitor I plan on getting another with my laptop. It is a very nice looking monitor and setting up was very easy. I liked the cable management it has and it organized my cords. I was very surprised by the speaker as well as the sound! It can get fairly loud and didn't really have much distortion. I used this for working on a cad program for work as well as multiple online video meetings. I tried gaming and the video quality was very nice from my opinion. I also streamed movies on it as well as action and did not notice any distortion or lesser picture quality that you sometimes have with action scenes. One thing is this setup worked at my office but if you are looking to move the monitor up you will have to buy something to put under the stand. There are 2 hdmi ports for connecting to a laptop. I am very happy with this monitor and look forward to using it for quite some time.

I got this monitor to pair with my laptop as a way to work on my writing projects easier. Setup was a breeze and comes with everything, including the HDMI cable needed to go from the laptop to the monitor. There are three panels that attach to the back once you've setup the unit. This helps hide the cables and makes it look much nicer if you don't have it backed up against a wall. There's also a cord keeper on the base so cords stay neat and out of the way. The ash white color is very nice. I wasn't sure I would like it but I really do. There's very little bezel around the unit which make it very sleek and nearly invisible. The colors are sharp and vivid. There isn't any glare either. The only downside is that the monitor can't be raised or lowered like some can. With my setup, I really don't find the need to raise or lower it. The tilting ability works fine for me. Overall, this monitor is great and has already helped a lot with my projects because I don't have to only use my laptop monitor anymore.

This is very nice desktop monitor then I think does a very nice job For what it is. The resolution is good, But not stellar. However, my son is able to game on this with his PC gaming laptop and also was able to connect to his PS five. He’s happy with the resolution but more importantly the refresh rate is fairly good for the price of this level of TV. The monitor itself was easy to set up and assemble. No tools required, which is interesting but the supply screws and pedestal fit in very nicely. I do like the base of the stand as it is small enough to fit on a pretty small footprint, which is really important for our needs, Which could be important for you as well. The start up and plug-in is really quick and easy. Really just plug-in to power and HDMI to a source and that’s it. There are a few interesting settings that you can do to tweak on the back which we have been playing with and it does seem, you can just certain things and make it a little more suitable for your needs whatever they might be. Overall pretty good monitor for multi use.

I work from home and already have a widescreen monitor that handles most of my needs. However, I wanted a second monitor to help with my productivity, especially since my work involves looking at data on screens all day. The Dell S2425H has been a decent second monitor for my needs. Honestly, it's a very simple monitor, but it offers the right connections and has definitely helped me be more productive which was my goal. To be frank, I knew this monitor is not a high-end monitor, given its price point. That said, it absolutely meets my expectations and needs. With a resolution of 1080p and a 100Hz refresh rate, for me it works perfectly as my secondary display. I use it mostly to keep reference materials open while working on my main screen. One of my favorite things about this monitor is its sleek design. The small bezels on the sides help make it look modern and more expensive than it really is. Additionally, the white frame on the back contrasts nicely with the black front. It fits right into my office setup and adds a clean, stylish touch. The only drawback for me is the lack of adjustability in the stand. It’s fixed in position, and I do wish it had more flexibility. Still, it’s not a dealbreaker. I also enjoy using this monitor during my gaming sessions. While my primary monitor handles the game itself, I use the Dell S2425H for browsing, chatting, or playing music while gaming. Again, for this secondary role, the specs are perfect for my needs. Overall, I highly recommend the Dell S2425H for anyone looking for an affordable monitor. If you work or play, this can be a good main monitor or perfect secondary monitor. It offers great value, solid performance, and a clean design at a budget-friendly price.

work perfectly i love everthing about it makes my work from home easy

amazing monitor i use everyday im home and i appreciate its amazing graphics and capabilities for its cheap price

All went real well and I am now using it. Thanks Best Buy.

The monitor is extremely simple to connect, very seamless with no lag and clear screen. The monitor is also physically well made, very durable considering it was dropped by my monitor mount and survived without a scratch.

Had the geek squad guy check to make sure it worked since it was an open box, everything worked on the geek squad desk but I get home and the geek squad guy didn't put the power cable back in the box, other than that fantastic monitor
