Dell SE2416HX 23.8" Screen LED-Lit IPS Monitor

Comment

Havent owned long enough yet to see if the failures others have mentioned will happen, but I always buy Dell monitors and I average about 5-7 years out of them, most times handing them down to nieces and nephews and mother in laws... That seems to follow the technology timeframe trend of wanting/needing to upgrade to a larger screen or latest planned obsolescence plug configuration. I was a bit bummed that this one didnt have DVI and VGA as my last Dells did-I run a pair of them on my desktop- but they do have an HDMI so I was able to make them both happen with a well needed clean up of the rats-nest wiring behind my workstation. Picture quality was noticeably nicer than my last ones as well. Great price, and still worthy of a very high recommendation

I got this monitor on sale and it being a dell, you know it works good , Im on it right now. You cannot beat the price and quality of Dell monitors. It looks great and I have had no problems at all. The reason I bought this one is because my other Dell went out after 8 years of use it was a 24 " so this one is a little bigger . I hope it will last for eight years or more like my last one. You cant go wrong with a Dell monitor.

This monitor is a great deal for the price. 27" monitor for this price is rare, and 1080p on this size still looks great. The colors are bright and crisp, the viewing angles are amazing, but it is IPS so I would expect that. The monitor itself is very thin and looks great with even thinner bezels. Where this monitor seems to fall flat is the black levels, and the backlight bleeding. Keep in mind, for doing things like desktop work, browsing, and even playing games this isnt going to affect you too much. But doing things like Movie watching, or dealing with Photo/Video editing I can totally see why this would bother you. Again, other than that this monitor works well for my needs, and the 75hz is a nice addition as well in games to keep gameplay smooth. Overall this is a great buy, I just cant say I love it when it does have its obvious flaws with the backlight bleeding and black levels.

This monitor suddenly stopped working after only a month plus a week, one week past the Amazon return window sadly. I dont know why, but this monitor seems especially fragile. No reason for this brand new monitor to suddenly stop working. Went to bed at night, the monitor was fine, woke up this morning and it wont turn on. No apparent reason at all. I tried another cord to be sure, the power light wont come on. I would say go with another brand. Dell consistently disappoints me every time I take a chance on their products. Dont buy Dell products, my advice.

Was having a hard time deciding between monitors and was going to go with the U2417H model but in the end went with these. Very happy I did. At work I use the P series Dell monitors which are in between cost of the SE and Ultra series. These SE ones seem to have every bit the same sharp font, color as the P series ones I use. Not sure if they use the same IPS panels but its possible. These SE series lack some features but since I was able to get two for less than the cost of one "U" series 24" monitor I can deal with the missing features. I run dual displays using the HDMI and a DVI to HDMI cable which wasnt any more expensive than a regular HDMI cable. Pros: Excellent image, clear sharp text and colors. Excellent price ($99). Cons: Lack of features: USB hub, DVI and Display Port connectors, fixed height stand, non-VESA mount.

The monitor is exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price!! This was my initial review with 5 stars. 8/1/17 Almost exactly 1 year later, I am unable to use the monitor. After about 15 minutes of turning it on, it turns itself off and back on and does this repeatedly every 10-15 seconds. I tried it with different cables and different PCs and got the same results. This same problem is listed many times in these reviews. Sorry, buyer beware!!!

This monitor is bright and reproduces colors vividly. Monitor has good black levels and images are beautiful. Did not observe any back-light bleeding. It has a matte screen and helps if you have a bright background. Easy to navigate on screen display with 4 physical buttons. Wish if it had a display management software. The monitor looks great with thin bezels. Unlike some new monitors, this monitor is thick. The plus side is that it doesnt come with a power brick; directly plug into a wall outlet and youre good to go. The monitor is heavy and stand is almost stable. No VESA mount option and no options for height or swivel adjustments. But the monitor can tilt up or down and it is good enough for most users, like me. Does not have many connecting options like multiple HDMI, DP, or DVI ports, but one HDMI and one D-Sub connections are good enough for a most users. 27" screen can be bit undesirable at 1080p resolution; but if you sit 2-3 feet back, the text is sharp and great for gaming. I dont play any FPS games at competitive level and for the RPG and Driving games I played, did not see any noticeable display lag; 6ms response time is okay for gaming. Freesync worked fine with my AMD graphics card; Freesync at this price range for a 27" monitor is icing on the cake. My copy had few (2-3) stuck/ unresponsive pixels at the bottom left.

Ive been using this monitor now for around 2 weeks, and it just works like its supposed to. I have the same monitor for my office workstation, and it gave me no problems whatsoever for the 3 months that Id been using it. Thats the reason I decided to go in for this same model for my home. Admittedly, its only been 3 months (at the office), and 2 weeks (at home), and I will try to post another update after say 6 months, but upfront this monitor is just great. Its big screen makes it easy on my eyes, and there is no flickering or any other kind of issue so far. The controls for setting the brightness/contrast might take some people a minute or two to get used to, but thats no reason to deduct a star IMO. I hope I dont encounter any of the issues people with 1 or 2 stars have been reporting, down the road.

Great monitor for the price. For years, Dell Monitors have been a safe bet when it comes to nice clear text that you can work on all day long without fatigue. I was impressed at the combination of value and performance. This is a perfect size for comparing two websites side by side or comparing two word docs side by side. I enjoyed using it with some flight simulators.
