Two Dell S2415H 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitors Bundled with AmazonBasics Dual Side-by-Side Mounting Arm

Pros: Great picture quality, as expected of an IPS panel. Out of the box too, no tweaking really needed. Vibrant colors. Menus are easy to navigate. Decent response time of 6ms. Very thin bezels, looks sexy and perfect for dual monitor setup. VESA capable. Cons: No height adjustment or left/right tilt. Only supports minimal up/down tilt. Glossy screen. Dont let sunlight get to it. No DVI or DisplayPort connection, only VGA and HDMI. Who buys new PCs/monitors and uses VGA in this day and age? Its a 60Hz panel. Look elsewhere if you plan to play CSGO or any fast paced games, get a 144Hz TN instead. If you average FPS in games doesnt get higher than 60 then this monitor is perfectly fine. Compared to its matte big brother, the U2414H, you gain a faster response time (6ms vs 8ms on the U), a glossy screen (glossy vs matte is purely preference) and built-in speakers, at the expense of height/pivot adjustability, a DisplayPort, a mini DP, an HDMI and 4 USB 3.0 ports. Picture quality wise the two should be equal as they employ two very similar LG IPS panels (the difference being response time). Unless you absolutely need all the connectivities and luxury features of the UltraSharp line and most importantly cant tolerate a glossy screen, this monitor and the S line as a whole is a seious contender for its price.

Im reviewing this as a monitor for programming on Windows without scaling. I work in VMware with Xubuntu + i3 so scaling is not an option. Text is sharp and clear. Its not as good as the Apple Cinema Display which has the best text clarity of any monitor period. Id say the text is 8/10 in comparison. Youre not going to find much better text unless you spend 2-4X more or go with Mac. I could live with 2 of these side by side as my main setup if my my 2008 ACD should ever die. The effective work area isnt significantly smaller than the 27" ACD thanks to the Dells ultra-thin bezels. Colors are good but not great. Viewing angles are great thanks to IPS. Without a doubt one of the better values in monitors especially if you can get it at < $129 ls I did. The one I received came with one stuck pixel. Not going to bother returning it. I didnt even notice it until I ran a dead pixel test. With my luck the next one will have two.

I have owned two of these for over 6 months now, and have recently purchased a third. When I was looking for monitors, I had two requirements that they must meet. Those two requirements were: Small bezel Vesa compatible with out an adapter To my surprise there werent many contenders that fit my criteria, many of the monitors I found either had a small bezel or was vesa compatible, not both. I found this one early on in my search, and the few others I found were mostly Dell as well. I didnt have a need for anything above 1920x1080 resolution so I ended up choosing this one over the others due to the size and price. I currently use these in a dual screen setup, and looking to upgrade to a quad screen. I use my monitors for everyday use, as well as gaming. I was told by a few review sites to expect ghosting in games due to the 6ms response time, but in my 6+ months of use I have not encountered this. The picture quality is great, and the colors are nice and vibrant. I recommend this monitor, and I plan on purchasing at least one more as long as the stock holds up. The only disappointment I have is it seems that Dell has stopped making these and their "new" model is lacking the small bezel.
