Dell S2425HS Monitor - 23.8 Inch, FHD (1920x1080) Display, 100Hz Refresh Rate 1500:1 Contrast Ratio, TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort 4 Star, Integrated 2x5W Speaker, Height/Tilt/Swivel/Pivot - Ash White

This is a solid performing monitor for the price. The package arrived in the OEM monitor box, no outer packaging and had a slight ding in the box (speaking of dings, would be nice if !@#$% UPS could manage to F@#$ing deliver a package within their estimated delivery window ... but I digress. Easy set-up, you'll put the 3 piece stand together then attach it to the monitor. Dell has the box and stand designed to make this a super simple process. The stand allows you to adjust the heck out of this monitor in hight, tilt, and swivel, so your covered to adjust quite a bit to suite your set-up. The monitor, overall, has a high cost to performance value. By that I mean for a monitor you can pick up for under $120, it has a very good performance. The matte finish on the screen is good, the 100Hz refresh rate is excellent for this price point, as well as the color and clarity of the screen. I am using it as a backup monitor until my other Dell portable monitor arrives for my set-up, and other than the form factor, this monitor would work perfect for my needs at my secondary workstation in my home. Good monitor, great price, highly recommended.

Gosh, where to even begin? I've been using Dell Monitors for over a decade now - regardless of what brand PC system I was using. I've always found Dell monitors to be a cut above, given what you spend.Over the past week, one of the audio components that I had on a shelf directly above my previous Dell monitor, fell from the shelf, hit the table and bounced back into my Dell screen, smashing it - talk about a negative surprise. So I had to find a PC monitor quickly to replace it. Problem is that I needed a monitor whose height adjustment capabilities were a step above. So I called Dell, talked to a sales agent, who asked me what exactly I was looking for. I told him that my PC monitor needed to have substantial height (lowering and raising the monitor) capabilities.After researching a variety of PC monitors, he recommended that I try the Dell S2425HS monitor, which had a height adjustment capability of 5"-6", which is phenomenal. You see, my monitor is sitting within a small nook space (height-wise), and I needed to have a monitor that would allow me to lower the screen substantially to fit into this space.So I thanked him and immediately ordered it on Amazon - and it arrived the very next day. When it arrived, I was gratified to see the same care and packing of the monitor that Dell had always provided. Assembly was quick, and I was then surprised to discover that there were two 5-watt speakers (I don't know the actual size of the speakers) integrated inside the monitor.After connecting everything and subsequently doing a color calibration of this new S2425HS (I do lots of photography, and I need an accurate monitor to process digital photos), I was gratified to then witness a wonderful-looking screen. As an aside, I also am an audiophile that maintains a desktop, near-field audio system around my PC. The gear used includes names such as KEF, Adcom, NAD, SMSL, and more - all providing me with a glorious audio experience while working.And believe it or not, the biggest surprise for me - besides the excellent screen qualities of this new S2425HS - was the sound of these two 5 watt built-in speakers. In the settings menu on the monitor, you have the options to tune the sound of the integrated speakers for Movie, Music, Standard, Sports, and a few other modes. So I set mine to music, fully expecting these two little speakers to sound tinny and compressed due to their small size.But boy was I surprised. The speakers had a fuller-bodied sound with excellent separation and an almost holographic sound quality while listening to a variety of materials. It is a good 5 steps above the typical built-in tiny speakers you get with some other monitors. This came as a welcomed treat because I periodically like to give my audiophile amps and associated electronics a rest. In fact, I was watching a band perform on YouTube just a few minutes ago, and for a second, I thought I was listening through my KEF speakers. Of course, when the bass section was performing, I realized then that I was listening to the PC monitor speakers because let's face it, those tiny speakers were limited with what they could do.So all in all, I am absolutely delighted with this quality-made Dell S2425HS monitor. It provides superb screen and picture qualities, and also gives you the bonus of including two small, yet highly competent speakers that provide excellent sound qualities, despite their small size.Highly recommended!

Bought this for extended display for my macbook pro. works great. amazing display. Used for work (not gaming). clear text. 27" was perfect size. I will advise it only connects via HDMI (no USB-C). (I bought a hub as well, being this is my 2nd monitor I am connecting to my macbook). No complaints. Easy to put together, took under 5 minutes. Excellent value for the money. (First time I bought something from dell in quite some time.. feels like the 90s again)

This is an absolutely great monitor. The image quality is superb. It is conveniently adjustable for height and angle. It has built-in speakers that work very well. The screen size is nice--not too little, not too big. You can easily view 2 documents side-by-side. I am thoroughly happy with my purchase of this monitor. In fact, after the first purchase, I bought 2 more of them so I could have one at each of my computers at work and at home.

What a great monitor! Wonderful price and great picture. Plus, I didn’t realize until later it had speakers too!! I purchased another monitor and sent it back because it must have been dropped and the picture was terrible. This was plug and play.

Really good monitor. Extremely easy assembly and connected immediately with my laptop without any issues. Easy navigation of settings and I was all set to go within 15 minutes. The only thing I would say is that it's probably worth going with the QHD for another twenty dollars or so -- just make sure that your device can support the extra resolution for that.
