Dell - SE2426HS 24" IPS LCD FHD 144Hz FreeSync Monitor (HDMI) - Black

Overall – This is a great little monitor. It quietly does almost everything right. Dell took a lot of key items - IPS color, 144Hz refresh, FreeSync, adjustable stand – and packed them into an everyday use monitor that works in office and home environments. If you have limited desk space or just need something extra with a laptop, it’s great. That said, it is a bit small for everyday use. Packaging – Dell seems to have this figured out. It’s well-protected with everything neatly organized. Nothing fancy, but everything secure, clearly labeled, and ready to go. Assembly – Assembly is a strong point here. Tool-less setup, the stand clicks together easily, and the monitor snaps right in place. Take it out of the box, screw the base on, and snap it into place – took me more time to get the HDMI plugged in than to put it together. Touch and Feel – Dell kept the design clean and professional. Thin bezels make it look modern, and the stand is actually better than what you normally get in this class—height, tilt, and swivel adjustments instead of the usual tilt-only budget stand. It doesn’t feel like a $500 monitor, but it does not feel cheap by any means. Setup & Functionality – The IPS panel gives good color accuracy and wide viewing angles, text is crisp, and the 144Hz refresh makes everything—from spreadsheets to gaming—feel noticeably smoother. FreeSync worked OK, there was no noticeable shutter. I used it for about 4 hours straight and did not notice any eye fatigue that I experienced from the smaller footprint. Awitch between inputs was easy and straightforward, as were all of the other monitor settings – exactly what I would expect from Dell. It’s nice to see them expand to 2 HDMI ports; however, a display or usbc would have been nice and maybe added some extra flexibility. The only other drawback is that I may be spoiled with my standard setup of OLED monitors, but the IPS panel doesn’t get the black right – it’s more of a dark gray. I did notice a bit of motion smoothing, but not significant. I f you have limited desk space or just a little extra for a laptop, I would highly recommend this – not sure there’s much better at this point. However, for me and usual set up of 34in coupled with a 27in or dual 32ins the 24in did feel a bit small.

Great General purpose monitor. Works better than most in a sunlit room. Bright crisp text display. Stand allows height, tilt and swivel. GREAT Price !

Good product for the money. I use these monitors for work and they are great for what I use them for. I always liked that Dell monitors use a normal computer power cable. Easy to replace if lost.
