Dell UltraSharp 24” U2414H Monitor Review And Unboxing 

No problem at all! Cheers 😁

No problem, good to hear!

ChrisTube r you still using them? works well??

Cheers :)

No problem! Good to hear you like it :)

Stephen Baxter would you still recommend this monitor for photo editing? Thanks!

No problem! Hope you like it 😃

orange circle is the screen ok for gamming cause i both work and game

TheRBLXnoob GamerDev maybe used for slight gaming but I am not sure so don’t take me seriously:)

Thanks! Haha takes a lot of time I guess to build up :) the more people that like what I do and share it around the faster that will happen I guess! Glad to hear you like the monitor :)

I wish i could find an in-depth review of this monitor with hardware monitor and colour accuracy readings to see how it stacks up against current monitors. Its a gorgeous monitor but im really cautious on upgrading because of how good the picture quality is. but i need higher resolutions and refresh rate.

Cheers :)

No problem! I've got a few more monitor reviews coming up, I've since got a color measurement tool so I can also test for sRGB accuracy too now 😃

No problem, cheers!

Nice, hope you like it :)

Thanks!!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you :)

Thanks!

Cheers Gavin!

Thanks :) that's good to hear!

Thanks!

No problem!

Thanks! Yeah I think it's up to those tasks 👍

Thanks! Hope you like it :)

Jarrod'sTech I was just about to buy another IPS display made by HP, model 24er. It looks good but I believe the Dell U2414H is a better choice.

No problem!

Just change it to one that looks good to you, otherwise use a calibration tool.

Cheers Paul!

Awesome! I did like using it with the MBP in the video!

Jarrod'sTech Hi, some users report a blurry text issue with the Macbook Pro retina and this monitor, is that the case?

It was clear for me, I wonder what resolution they were running it at.

+CallMeAmz hmm that was not the case for me, it looked clear in my testing.

No problem! Glad to hear it helped 😃

I sort of talk about that in my daisy chaining video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-leNkQoJpz9M.html

Hey thanks! Yeah I did actually notice the difference while using both together. After the much higher resolution of the MBP, I felt like I noticed the individual pixels more easily on the Dell screen. I think Dell also do a similar 1440p monitor which could be worth checking out if you think the PPI difference will be noticeable for you.

Thanks for the super-fast reply! Regarding the u2515h (2Ks in general) I'm afraid that the objects (letters, texts, etc.) would be too small. I'm not sure, I guess I will have to work with it. According to my research, however, in case someone wants the best result (comparing to the retina display) he /she should buy a 4k monitor and use it in upscaled mode. This is similar to what mac os does with retinas. 2k upscaled won't do the job i'm afraid. At least that's what i'm reading on the internet. On the other hand, 4ks are too expensive. Hence, the alternative solution (at least for my case) is to 'compromise' with a Full HD monitor and run it on its native resolution. Anyway, thank you once again for the super-fast reply and keep up with the good work! I really appreciate it!

No problem! Yeah I've heard that about 4K too, haven't personally been able to test it yet though. Good luck!

Thanks! Unfortunately there are no USB type C ports on this monitor, only USB type A. For what you're trying to do it sounds like you'd need an adapter.

+David Duong I believe the colours will be based on the settings and calibration performed on the monitor itself

thanks

My partner didn't have much issues with them over the years, though recently upgraded to 4k monitors. No issues with the screen buttons that I'm aware of.

The monitor has both of those as input, so you'd just need an adapter to either. A recent laptop I looked at had thunderbolt over USB type-C port like the newer mabcook does which allowed it to connect to mini displayport, so that's probably what you want.

Thanks! Yes that's right, you can use the monitor as a USB hub as long as you connect the included cable to the monitor and then to your laptop. It's a USB Type-A to Type-B super speed cable, it should come with the monitor. Yes you'll need it in addition to HDMI.

@@JarrodsTech thank you a lot

No problem at all!

@@JarrodsTech :D

Hey, it looks pretty decent I think, with that said I waited to reply to you because I had a Spyder5 Pro calibrator in the mail which just arrived :) here's what this monitor reported: 96% SRGB 68% NTSC 73% AdobeRGB

Thanks for the info man! Especially considering how old this video is :P

Yeah, I've found it great for both :)

Its pretty good for gaming. Its got a pretty solid refresh rate and I've been able to use it with CSGO with more success than my other dell monitor. Its responsive and it works well.

I think so, but didn't test. Usually both HDMI and displayport carry sound.

Nice!

Usually pretty good, when you down scale 4k to 1080p you get a really nice 1080p image in most cases from what I've seen.

So what do you think will this be a good decision?

I'm not sure if the 4K is down sampled to 1080p or if it just generates it as 1080p? If it's the former it could still look pretty decent and will probably better be better than standard 1080p.

Sorry I don't really understand what the problem is, how are you connecting your computer to the monitor? You'd need to use a connection that supports audio for a start.

Not as far as I can tell. It's pretty stable sitting there by itself, it's definitely not going to move unless you push against it to make it swivel.

Cool, thanks for the info

Not as far as I can tell, the two panels that I have look great :)

I bought one a couple of days ago but on any of the standard modes, even SRGB the screen has such a strong yellow tint it's horrible. I also noticed the gamma settings are off with crushed blacks. You haven't found either of those things?

Is the USB port on your laptop powered? Usually laptops only have one powered USB port, and if you look closely it will have a little power / lightning bolt icon next to it.

Jarrod'sTech thanks for the reply, I was hopeful for a second but changing to the USB port with the lightning bolt symbol didn't change anything :( I think I might have a faulty unit...

Oh that's odd, do you have any other computer that you could test on?

To be honest I haven't used them for those tasks so I can't really say, the monitors are my partners and she uses them primarily for gaming and are still working well

Thanks for that info! Much appreciated

No problem!

Late 2012 MacBook Pro 13"

What will you be using it for?

Yeah just lets you have two inputs, although I don't believe you can have both display at the same time. Some higher price monitors let you do that, for instance have one device show on the left and one on the right.

Perhaps you can connect ChromeCast and your laptop and switch whenever needed.

Jarrod'sTech never heard of that, that's sick.

Should work fine as long as what ever you're connecting has appropriate outputs to connect to it (eg HDMI).

I haven't been able to find how to check this

Should work ok.

No I don't believe so, although I think you can connect a 3.5mm speaker/headphones to the monitor and have sound go over HDMI.

It's alright for the price, still using it.

@@JarrodsTech what about the screeb quality?? is it good? am really scared as its 5 year old , someone in my country is selling this to me for 90 t0 to 95$ in used , condition is just like new 10/10 no scratch at all

@@JarrodsTech Please reply should i go for it

I haven't used the other one so can't really say, sorry. I have heard that it could be better as it's newer, but you'd probably want to check out other reviews of the u2417 model.

Not sure 🤔

If you mean connecting the first monitor to the second then I don't think so, that sounds like daisy chaining which I believe is a feature of DisplayPort. If you mean connecting both monitors directly to the computer, then yes that's fine.

4:36 But with HDMI from computer to first monitor then displayport cable form first monitor to second monitor. Anyways, you already answered on my question. Thank you.

No problem, yeah in that example the first monitor is plugged into the computer with DisplayPort.

I never had a chance to test that one so honestly cannot say sorry.

buy the cheaper one and save a few bucks, 1080p honestly doesn`t really matter. Or you can buy a TCL TV for the money you use on the monitor for watching movies.

+Daniel Hernandez does that laptop have HDMI or display port in? If so should be fine, otherwise worst case you can use adapters

Yeah should work quite well for that I think.

Thank you so much.

No problem!

I haven't tested the 17, but my assumption is it's probably better as it's newer, but I do not know

2417

Yeah fair enough

Thanks, yes I think it can but did not test.

Yes

It takes HDMI which I believe most consoles support, so yeah should be fine.

Yeah we use it for that and it's fine.

@@JarrodsTech Thanks.

did you ever figure that out?

@@al-du6lb I think it has to do with where the monitor was assembled.

yeah, I found out they are the same thing. Just picked one up. It's not bad.@@j.lietka9406

I have no experience with the first one so cannot say.

I've only ever used it with the laptop still open, as I use the laptop as another usable screen. You should be able to have it closed though as long as it doesn't go to sleep on doing so, I've done this with other laptops in any case. I'm not sure what you mean in the first part of your question regarding having Windows and Mac on a monitor?

I mean, In some parts of your video I see that the monitor is with the software of Windows (I am sorry if Windows is not a software. I can of know somethings of computers technicism) and in some other ones is with the software of Mac. How can you do that? Thanks for the answer

I was running both Mac OS and Windows 10 on the laptop using Bootcamp, basically Bootcamp allows you to switch between either operating system. Both are installed, and you can use either.

Thank you!!

I think it's still pretty good, they're still being used here and no issues 😃 not certain how their model names work, but that could be right! I think that's around the time it came out.

I just bought this model. But I can't put the resolution on all the dell's screen. Its only like 85% of the dell screen. Its hooked to a macbook 13. Any suggestions on how to make the display resolution on all dell screen ? I've looked in the dispay settings of the macbook and tried all the res settings but none make it on 100% of the dell screen. Help!

Not sure what you mean, is some of the screen just black? Or is the macbook not seeing the 1080p resolution so the image is stretched?

Some of the screen is black. On the sides and up and down. Like when you watch movies and there black on the sides.(example 16:9) And the print of text quality is nothing close to the macbook's. I've put it on 1080p but its not streched all the way.

I didn't notice anything obviously difference, but I also don't have the proper tools to be able to fully test the colours unfortunately.

You need to connect it to a computer/laptop, this is just a monitor only.

Oh Alright thx ok @@JarrodsTech

No problem! Happy to help!

Nice! I recently had to replace my Logitech Z5500 because they started randomly turning off while I was using them :/ I'll have some videos about my replacement soon! :)

Jarrod'sTech I need your help with something Jarrroddd

What's up?

Jarrod'sTech after taking out jy gpu to clean it from the dust, I must have messed something up, my motherboard doesn't have a HDMI slot, only my gpu does. and I get no signal now, but the gpu still works. I've been trying for hours :(

Hmm that's no good, I'm guessing you have no spare graphics card to test with? I recently had a similar issue where my GPU died, I managed to buy a $20 one from a seller in my town locally and I've been using it ever since. Does your monitor have any inputs that your motherboard does support? If not I suppose your only options are to investigate the card further and see if you perhaps dislodged something, or otherwise see if you can get another graphics card temporarily while you investigate, good luck!

Nice deal, thanks for sharing your experience with it!

8 ms (gray to gray), nothing amazing for games but I have no issues with that time.

Thanks and yeah it is a beautiful monitor!

I'd personally be looking for something with higher refresh rate than 60Hz for that.

What version of DisplayPort is the computer using? Have you tried changing the DisplayPort version used in the monitor options? I think you can change it between 1.1 and 1.2 which may help.

Genalyn Sarmiento-Kamo You are in the wrong channel in the monitor. Switch it to 'minidp'
