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

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!

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.

This Dell monitor is a bargain. Easy to assemble and connect with a nice bright picture. The two 5w speakers do a decent job without a tinny sound. I'm very pleased with the product and of course, rapid delivery.

This monitor is an amazing value for all of its features! Clarity is excellent. Vivid bright colors with very clear images, and great sound built in. Could not be more impressed! Very easy to connect, simply plug in and go.

This Dell monitor met my top priority with a wide range of height adjustment and easy, instantaneous height adjustment to accommodate two users with widely varying heights. The monitor is easy to adjust up and down. Just grasp both sides of the monitor and push either up or down.The monitor adjusts down almost to the desktop and adjusts up with the bottom edge of the monitor being 6 and 1/2 in above the desktop. My second priority was being able to adjust brightness to accommodate a user who is very sensitive to glare. This was an epic fail. I have newer ASUS computer and wouldn't have anticipated having any compatibility problems. The default monitor display is good quality. However, the eye comfort settings controlled by a button on the back of the monitor do not work. The settings appear on the screen when I push the button but clicking on the settings does nothing. There are no on screen settings for the Dell monitor including no brightness slider. The brightness slider in the display settings in Windows 11 disappeared with this Dell monitor. To accommodate for these shortcomings, I downloaded a third party app that resides in my taskbar and provides a brightness slider. I turned on night light in the windows 11 display settings and use the night light brightness slider. I use a physical blue light screen placed over the monitor. This is sufficient for my needs. An online search indicated that the disappearing Windows 11 brightness slider is a thing with some monitors. I found a YouTube tutorial that had several suggestions for bringing back the brightness slider and I may try that at some point. For now, the measures I described above are sufficient for my needs. The monitor was quick and easy to put together but the screw attaching the screen to the supporting post was a two-person job for us, with one person holding the two pieces together and the other person turning the screw.

Very nice monitor. The refresh rate at100 Hz makes watching videos a better experience. And, the more than loud enough built in speakers lessen the need for having to buy external speakers. Upgraded visual color experience. Much better than my existing 12 year old monitor. I like how you can raise the monitor height up and down easily. Quality buy...

Bought this as an extended monitor. The size is just right for a home office setup.

Alles perfekt

Bought this after I received a Samsung monitor defective straight out of the box. You get what you pay for, ladies and gentlemen and this monitor is a great example of that. Picture quality is stellar, and the speaker quality actually blew me away for built ins. Height and angle adjustment is incredibly easy and convenient, as was base installation. Would recommend.

Un gran monitor, buena nitidez de imagen fino y con la posibilidad de girarlo para adaptarlo a la posicion que mas te convenga y todo a un muy buen precio e imposible mas facil de montar

Este monitor me ha sorprendido para bien y me encanta. Se puede girar la pantalla, subir y bajar, y la tela mate tiene muy buena resolución. El acabado es de calidad, tiene unos tornillos con una palanca para que puedas ajustarlos con la mnao, y es de agradecer ya que se le monta en dos minutos. Queria un monitor con buena resolucion para usar con un portatil de la manzanita y trabajar con imagenes, y este cumple.
