Dell P2419H 24 Inch LED-Backlit, Anti-Glare, 3H Hard Coating IPS Monitor - (8 ms Response, FHD 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz, 1000:1 Contrast, with ComfortView DisplayPort, VGA, HDMI and USB), Black

I order 4 of these to replace my aging HPL2045ws One of them was starting to have issues over heating. I think they are almost 10 years old but were high end when I bought them. So 24" to replace 20" similar resolution. These new monitors are slightly better resolution. I almost don't notice it though. What I do notice is the size difference. So that was a good change. I don't want anything bigger. I already have to turn my head too much to see things.The Quality of these dell are as expected from a well known company. The price was mid range for this size and resolution. Well worth the extra $20-$40 each to know that I was not going to get 2 bad monitors of the 4 I purchased. For me these are equivalent to a matched set. I need all 4 to be in good condition for a long time to come. Replacing one with a different type/brand would for sure cause me to have to replace all.I am very happy with the purchase. All 4 arrived same day (2 day prime delivery) and I was able to mount them on my 4 monitor Versa mount stand quick and easy. They are light weight and always cool to the touch. Another upgrade to the old HP LCDs I had. Office stays cooler now. No issues with Nvidia cards and Windows 10 or 2018 Server.I would recommend these to anyone looking for good monitors for Cad, Software development or general office use. Video seems really good on them too but that is not something I really know a lot about.

The monitor works fine. However, what I disliked about it being a previously loved product was that it wasn't packaged well for delivery. Since most delivery carriers don't really care about treating the products they deliver, the product should have been packaged better. When I got the monitor there was nothing to stop the contents (typical cardboard filler that typically comes in a Dell monitor box was missing) from moving around during transit. The items were loosely placed in a Dell monitor box, which allowed the contents in the box to move freely around and contributed to scratching up the back of the monitor with the base of the stand. The power cord is not the original power cord and only came with a VGA cable (which is pretty much obsolete). The USB 3.0 hub cable and display port cable was also missing. It would have been nice to know if these items were not going to be included in the description. Other than that the monitor works fine by testing with cables I have for my other monitor, but i have to now go buy the needed cables to use the monitor.

I was looking to upgrade my home office since I'm working remote more these days, so I started researching a lot of different monitors. I originally went with two 25" Acer gaming monitors, because I got them for a pretty good deal through BestBuy. Since they were TN panels, the viewing angles for programming were terrible for my application.I then started researching again and came across these monitors. I returned my other two and bought two of these. These monitors are terrific for my programming. The viewing angles and color are superb on the IPS panels. I can't recommend these monitors enough for programming. They're connected through the provided DP cables to a Dell docking station. The text that is displayed is very crisp. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.On a side note, I'm not sure the response time on these monitors would be suitable for gaming. However, I'm not sure that IPS monitors are the best choice for gaming yet. Most IPS panels will have a higher response time than TN panels. For any other use, these monitors are a great choice.I didn't use the provided stands that came with these monitors, so I can't comment on the stands. I bought a dual monitor VESA mount stand off Amazon to mount these.Update 2019-09-13:Coming up on almost a year of having these monitors. I still thoroughly enjoy them. I still stand by the initial part of my review regarding these monitors. It's funny that I bought these for my home office, because my employer actually start upgrading everyone to these monitors too. They seem to be well praised around the office for our use.

The good: it has a nice design including a thin bezel which is great for a duel-monitor setup. The mechanical design of the stand is very good. It goes together in seconds with no tools, is sturdy, and is highly adjustable including tilt in both directions. The monitor seems to be pretty intelligent about selecting the correct input signal, and it will automatically switch when I plug something new in. Comes with DP and USB3 cable. The integrated USB hub is great and adds some real value; it's handy for your mouse/keyboard, memory sticks, etc.The bad: I'm kind of picky about monitors, so take this for what is it. The viewing angle is good but not amazing. Way better than the old TN panels, but not as good as my wife's VA panel. There is also strange inverted color ghosting that shows up in very specific situations; sometimes (maybe 1% of the time) when I scroll through a webpage I will see magenta or cyan ghosting on the edges of light gray areas. I was able to mostly eliminate it with some minor tweaks to brightness and contrast, but I feel like I shouldn't have to do that.In summary: The picture doesn't look as good as a $300 VA-panel gaming monitor, but its a good choice for the office.
