Dell S2421HS 24 Inch Full HD 1080p, IPS Ultra-Thin Bezel Monitor, Silver, Black

I am an application developer (programmer) during the day and a hobbyist photographer with dreams of making it big someday in the photography industry. This monitor is amazing for both. This monitor is both a horizontal and vertical monitor. It works in both orientations and is simple to rotate. I set this up next to my normal (horizontal) monitor in the vertical orientation. It is awesome for web browsing, Microsoft Outlook (or similar email program), Twitter, and portrait photos. Generally, anything where you have long-form scrolling, this works great. I originally thought the bottom bezel with the Dell log was going to bother me when I put it in the vertical position, but it hasnt at all, and I dont even see it anymore. This is a great monitor for vertical tasks and makes a nice wide monitor for horizontal tasks. Overall, I am very pleased with it and recommend it.

Amazon product description is wrong - there are no built in speakers for this monitor. Incredibly inconvenient and disappointing.

Got this as I needed a 2nd smaller monitor for my home office. So easy to get setup and it’s perfect. It is a matte finish and did notice more glare from the window- but it’s minimal and was an easy to tilt and resolve.

This 24” offering from Dell is another step in the direction they take every year, with very slight improvements each time. While it does have a 75Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync, there is nothing especially spectacular about this monitor. Its features include: • 75Hz refresh rate • AMD FreeSync • 4ms response time • IPS panel with matte antiglare • Near-edgeless design • VESA 100 mounting compatible • Adjustable stand allows for pan, tilt, height, and rotation Color usage on this monitor is very good due to the IPS display. The matte antiglare screen dumbs the colors slightly, but it still looks good. The near-edgeless display is nice, and the back of the monitor is pretty stylish. It is VESA 100 capable, which is a huge plus. The 75Hz refresh rate has been common in Dell monitors for years, and this is no exception. The inclusion of FreeSync is very much welcome, but beyond that, this is roughly the same monitor they put out last year, and the year before. It’s good, but offers very little image customization options beyond a helpful blue-light filter and some presets. The best thing about this specific monitor is the adjustable stand (which is optional). The stand is not only sturdy, it is also elegant. It allows for side-to-side panning, up & down tilting, height adjustment, and 90-degree rotation, which puts the monitor in portrait mode. It’s simple, it’s attractive, and it works very well. I also want to go over some of the negative aspects of this monitor. The screen’s maximum brightness is a paltry 250 nits. As a result, the contrast between light and dark elements is weak, and the screen may not get as bright as you might expect (though I have no complaints). This also means that HDR is not supported. There are no built-in speakers on this model either – for clarity, I received the S2421HS with adjustable stand. The monitor also has a poor viewing angle, but that is a fault of most IPS panels in general. Lastly, it is thicker than I expected, with a curved back that is thickest in the middle and thinnest near the edges. There is no shortage of 1080p monitors targeting the office/home office demographic, so a monitor either needs to stand out, or have already been a household name beforehand. This monitor unfortunately does not stand out from the pack, though it is attractive. With that said, it is a Dell product, and if Dell is anything, they are reliably consistent. That’s what you get with the S2421HS – a reliable, consistent, small step up from last year’s model. A no frills monitor that gets the job done. Therefore, I do recommend it, but not at its current price.

No USB ports and even an HDMI-USB adapter does not work with this monitor. It claims there is no HDMI connection detected and no display is shown. Very disappointing

Dells monitor assembly process is just so intuitive at this point that I cant fault them on their design choice or construction quality whatsoever. This monitor is no exception as it clicks into the base mount and is ready to go within seconds out of the box. For business use this is a perfect monitor for deployment as all staff members would be able to set it up easily. The finish on the monitors back and the mount feels premium even though this is a budget monitor. It would pair well with mac devices or the dell xps line of computers. The display itself is fairly vivid and has wide viewing angles thanks to the ips panel underneath. Windows defaulted to 8 bit colors and 1080p @ 75hz out of the box using freesync mode. No overclockable modes listed or tested. This is just a great monitor for the price though and thanks to the adjustable mount perfect for nearly all users. Will update if the monitor fails at any point.

I dont use this for gaming, only for everyday tasks, internet, etc. I like how you can look at the screen even from the side and it doesnt look dark, you dont have to be looking straight on at it all the time so I can actually scoot my chair around while looking at it. Nice and thin. The height and tilt adjustments are awesome because it works for multiple users. You can even turn the screen vertically but remember to tilt it back first before spinning it around. Ive never had a reason to use a screen that way but for those who do its a plus. Like many reviews state, this adjustable screen doesnt have a speaker but it does have an AUX outlet for it as well as hdmi connections in the back. Overall, good screen.

The S2421HS has adjustable stand, but no built in speakers. The S2421H has built in speakers, but no adjustable stand. So I got the no speaker version. I think about a decade ago I was very curious with monitors that can rotate both horizontally and vertically. 10 yrs later, I finally got one. LOL! The monitor is very sleek looking. The bezel is very thin. Some 24 monitors can be bigger because of thicker bezels. This monitor is approximately 21 1/8 x 12 1/2. Very sleek and compact. 5-Stars!

I needed to setup my home office with two monitors. One of them arrived with a shattered screen. The box was perfect so no idea when it wouldve been manhandled. Bottom line is they are honoring the return of 1 monitor and cant sell me a second one! So I will be stuck with mismatched monitors! Why cant new things just arrive the way you ordered them. I would expect this from little mom and pop sellers but I had higher expectations from Dell. I spent my money on 2 identical monitors Im now stuck with this one and I dont think its fair.

I like the full width feature and ease of set up. Also very easy to adjust height of the monitor.
