Dell 3 Pack UltraSharp U2414H 23.8" Full HD 1080p LED Monitor

*****UPDATE JUNE 2016*****I finally have the option for pictures on Amazon reviews so I added a few. I have now had these since November 2014 and have no complaints. I haven't had a single problem with them and they still look excellent. If I was buying again today the only thing I would consider is a 1440 or 4k version of this same monitor now that the prices have come down a bit. Other than that these 1080p screens are excellent.******Original Review*********I will start out by saying that I love these monitors. I am a compulsive researcher when it comes to buying electronics. I researched monitors for a long time before deciding on what to buy so hopefully I can pass on what I learned about these Dell monitors now that I own 4 of them.I have 3 of these mounted to an Obutto racing cockpit and one across the room on a desk. All 4 are connected to the same PC that currently has a single Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 card in it (SLI coming very soon). I am a 31 year old nerd that's been doing IT professionally and compulsively for a long time now. I am going to list the things that I got caught up on when researching these monitors in hopes to ease the pain for you60hz IPS vs 120hz+ TN panel - I really went back and forth on this one. I tried a couple 144hz monitors and they were excellent for gaming. If fast paced online shooters are the only thing you do with a monitor then 120hz+ might be worth the consideration. BUT the trade off is poor viewing angles and slightly washed out colors. I don't play competitively and also work on the same screens so color became more important to me the more I thought about it. The colors and viewing angles on the dell more than makes up for the lack of a higher refresh rate. Especially in a surround setup where the outer monitors are angled. Yes high refresh rate is really awesome for competitive FPS games but to me it wasn't worth the tradeoff. I am happy to report that I have ZERO complaints about these 60hz screens while gaming. From racing sims to RTS to fast paced shooters. I don't notice any lag or blurring or anything else that would make me regret having an IPS for gaming. Best of all the colors look amazing in everything I do with them.The dreaded nvidia color problems - I decided after reading reviews about this monitor and display port issues that I would stick to HDMI connections. I run one monitor on HDMI, two on DVI to HDMI cables and the 4th desk monitor on an active display port to HDMI adapter. My monitors did show up with limited color selected. This is NOT the fault of these Dell monitors. This is a known issue with nvidia in general and affects other screens as well. I ran the fix for this (see comments for link) and now have full range color on all four displays. It took about 2 minutes to download and run and all is well. You do it once and it sticks. No need to run it again after driver updates. Nvidia has finally acknowledged the problem and will have a fix for it in the future (link to that also in comments).Daisy chaining via display port - Don't buy these monitors for that. If you need that function then these are not the screens for you. There are countless others having issues with it so just avoid it. I run laptops with HDMI and my gaming rig so I don't personally have a need for it but enough people have had problems with it that it wouldn't make sense to buy these for that purpose.Dell warranty issues - This issues isn't an issue. Dell does warranty them if you buy them from Amazon or any other retailer. They even warranty them if you buy them privately. The confusion is that Dell monitors under 24" do not have a service tag which means they can't be registered with Dells support site. Check the comments on this review for the full warranty info posted by Dell. Rest assured that your monitor is covered under dell warranty.Price / Value - Buy these on Amazon and direct from Amazon. Enjoy no hassle returns and a huge savings over dell direct. The monitor is phenomenal for the price. I tried to get Dell to price match Amazon but never got a response from them and still would have had to pay a large amount of shipping. I saved so much buying 4 of these on Amazon Prime that I could have bought 3 extra ones. The price on here fluctuates daily if not hourly sometimes so keep an eye on it for dips in price. I saved even more by frequently checking it.Touch sensitive buttons - Not my favorite but they aren't THAT bad. As a few others pointed out, use your thumb. Mine work fine with my thumb but don't work at all with my index fingers. If you only run one of these monitors then install the dell utility and you can control most of the settings right through the windows app.Sound bar accessory - SKIP THIS! Please just don't do it. It looked like a great solution for when I docked my laptop on my desk but it sounds HORRIBLE! Literally any other USB speaker on the market would sound better. The sound bar is almost painful to listen to and it stays on ALL of the time. No way to turn it off separately from the monitor.So with all of that out of the way what's left to say about these screens? BUY THEM! I love them. The colors were excellent right out of the box. The three I have in surround matched each other pretty good with almost no tweaking. The matte screen is refreshing to someone like me that hates reflections with a passion. None of that here with colors that still look great and a matte coating that isn't grainy. And those bezels! Probably the #1 reason I was so stuck on buying these. If you are doing a multiple monitor setup then these screens should be at the top of your list. Even debezeling and overlapping TN panels won't get you bezels this thin. It's excellent for a surround setup.Hopefully this long winded review can help dispel some of the reservations you may have on these. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these as an all-around solid investment. 3 year warranty and out of the 4 screens I got not a single one has a dead pixel or serious flaw. If you are still reading, check the comments to see the other info I mentioned above or to ask me any questions about them. Good luck in your search for a new monitor!**Video is a friend playing GRID Autosport on pretty high settings at 5760x1080. That's on a single GTX 970 locked at 60fps. This video was shot with an iPhone 6 but came out horrible when I uploaded it to Amazon. I wanted to post more pics of my setup but Video was my only option in the review section. Oh well, I tried. Bottom line is you won't have regrets with this monitor.

so far, I have nothing bad to sat about these monitors! everything is working as it should, but the main reason I am giving this review is to show the dimensions, seeing as I can't find any good ones. so here you go!

I bought this display almost solely based on the review by LarryMcJ titled "MacBook Pro Users, this review is for you." I have a 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina display, so his review was extremely helpful, and absolutely spot on. I love this display. The only thing I have to add to his review is that I made the happy discovery on plugging this monitor in that it responds and displays the "NightMode" option from the MacBook Pro. This is a HUGE plus for me, as I suffer both from insomnia and the very not-good habit of staying up on my computer too late into the evening. This monitor exceeds all expectations so far. Easy to set up. Great picture. The screen real-estate that I've become used to. I have yet to play video games on it to judge the picture and response with that, but I'll update here when I do. All in all, I'm exceedingly happy with this purchase. Everything came as expected and when expected.

There have been countless reviews here about how great this monitor is, and that is true. So rather than write yet another similar review, this one is specifically for the MacBook Pro users who may be searching for an external monitor.For a MacBook Pro user, it's important to know the "Display Port-to-Thunderbolt Port" cable included with this monitor is all you need. I attached this cable to my MacBook Pro and instantly it worked perfectly in the clamshell mode. No adjustments are need regarding the display arrangement in Preferences, as is the case with some external monitors. Also, the MacBook Pro (with Yosemite installed) recognized even the model number of the Dell monitor and automatically adjusted from its Retina display resolution to the full 1920 x 1080 resolution of this monitor.Speaking of resolution, many Mac users will want to know that fonts on this display at 1920 x 1080 can be much easier to read than the Apple's own 27" Thunderbolt Display. I recently purchased a 27" iMac and lived with the small font sizes at its 2560 x 1440 resolution for a few months before buying a MacBook Pro and this monitor. It's not enough to just go down one notch in resolution on the 27" iMac as it then looks horrible when out of its native resolution. This is something most users find out only after they've purchased it.For audio options with this monitor and your MacBook Pro, again OS X automatically recognizes the exact model number of this Dell (U2414H) and provides it as an option it the OS X audio preferences. Then all you need to do is plug in your favorite speakers into the speaker jack on the rear of the monitor and you have great sound, freeing up the headphone jack on your MacBook Pro.If anyone is skeptical about picture clarity with this monitor...find something else to worry about :-) The display quality is every bit as good as the Apple Thunderbolt Display and for me, a plus was the matte finish of this display so I don't have reflections like I had on the 27" iMac. I normally don't care for matte finish displays, but for some reason, this one doesn't bother me...in fact I like it a lot.Another great feature of this monitor is the easily accessed settings for anything you could dream of adjusting (unlike the Thunderbolt Display). I was able to adjust my brightness and contrast separately to suit my office environment. Bottom line is if you're a MacBook Pro user and want a great monitor you can use by itself, or daisy chain, this should be one of your fist choices.

So far after a month I am happy with this monitor. It works no problem with my 2014 Macbook Pro 15' with the included DisplayPort cable. My only wish is that it was a bit brighter. The Macbook Pro screens, which I am used to working on, go brighter. With my Macbook Pro set up beside my UltraSharp I have to turn down the brightness on the Macbook Pro 2-3 bars to match. Not a big issue though, especially for me as my working location is usually fairly dark. I love all the ports though, and the versatility of the height adjustments and tilt. Other than the brightness the colour seems to be very good. Especially important for me, doing pixel design in Sketch 3, is that greys show well, and they do. My grid lines in Sketch 3 never disappear, and there is a visible difference from 100% white to 99% to 98% and so on.

I got this delivered yesterday. Only I had to plug this to power and mini-display to DVI connector to my Mac. Its amazing, the color reproduction, the design. the number of ports available, stand flexibility, form factor, you will love it.

I bought this to use for photography and video. The colours are great, and I love how much I can adjust it in every way. It rises up really high, which is really great, because my neck isn't hunching over to see my screen. Definitely recommend!

Great monitor, displays accurate colors . I use mine for photo and video editing as I am a pro photographer. Looked around for other monitors but for the price this one is amazing. Would highly recommend.Love the thin bezel around the outside of the screen. Lot's of ports for various types of connections. Considering buying another so I can do a multiple monitor setup.

The display quality of this monitor is excellent and i think its worth the cost. It would have been some added value if the vertical height adjustment slot was bit more lengthier.

Es un monitor excelente tal como lo esperaba, altamente recomendable. Lo puedes utilizar tanto para trabajo como para juego, sus colores son muy vivos y las imagenes muy nitidas. Tiene algunos extras como un hub USB, 2 puertos HDMI y algunos otros mas esto hace que este monitor sea muy versatil.

La posibilidad de conectar por Thunderbolt, el extra de 5 puertos usb a 2amps y la similitud de color con el monitor de apple lo hacen una herramienta perfecta para mi trabajo como diseñador.

Sharp and fast

El producto llego en optimas condiciones en el tiempo requerido, yo recomiendo este lugar para hacer futuras compras. gracias por todo

Fantastic upgrade to my previous Dell ultrasharp. I calibrated the monitor with Spyder5 and the difference was minimal, so it's pretty accurate straight out of the box. Usage: Professional photo and video editing.

Fantastic

Only con is the unavailability of the speakers

Just amazing monitor

good

Dosiy chaining not as easy as one might think...
