Colour uniformity is pretty good here, too. As you can see from the grid below, only one spot on the panel exhibited lower than average levels of brightness. It’s a Full HD display (1920 x 1080) and is set to this by default when you power it on for the first time. Good ergonomic flexibility, an attractive design with exceptionally slender bezels and a decent complement of ports Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced. Not in the last place, there is 99% of sRGB coverage, which will provide a punchy image. Pair this with decently accurate colors in “Standard” mode (Average dE<2.0) and you get a reasonable offering for design work. If you need even more color accuracy, you can get our Gaming and Web design profile. Then even the maximum dE becomes less than 2.0.

The ports are down-firing; AC power input (internal power converter), HDMI (plus MHL), DP 1.2a, mDP 1.2a, DP out (for MST Daisy Chaining), 3.5mm audio output, USB upstream and 2 further USB 3.0 downstream ports (4 total). There is an orange plastic port cover over the DP out port which must be removed if you wish to use it. This is to stop you mistaking it for a DP input and wondering why you don’t get a signal when everything is connected up. A DP – MiniDP cable is included in the box along with a power cable. Colour reproduction was strong on BF4. The monitor delivered a great variety of shades in an accurate and highly consistent way – rich with appropriate depth throughout the screen. This helped the environments look vivid but natural with good variety – specifically, the variety of earthy browns and natural plant-like greens was impressive. The strength in colour reproduction also helped elements that are supposed to be vibrant (HUD elements, in-game markets, fires etc.) stand out in an appropriate way. The intensity of orange and red shades within fires and explosions, for example, left them looking vibrant but not overdone.

Good static contrast and a screen surface that is relatively smooth and light, helping preserve image clarity and vibrancy

Nice, crisp images, both when working, working on high quality photos & images, as well as when gaming. The height-adjustable stand lowers and raises the monitor through 13 centimetres, down to the point where the monitor’s chin is hovering almost 4cm above your desk’s surface. The flexible mount means you can turn the Dell UltraSharp 24 through 80 degrees, and tilt it up 21 degrees and down five. I also recorded a colour temperature of 6934K, which is slightly cooler/bluer than the target 6500K that most closely resembles natural light. work in darkened room conditions with low ambient light. A setting of 47 in the OSD menu should return you a The contrast performance was largely in-line with the predecessor with static contrast that is about as good as you can expect from an IPS-type panel. The ‘PLS glow’ observed here ate away at some of the detail for dark shades peripherally and was a bit more obvious than the ‘IPS glow’ seen on the U2414H and some other models. This difference, we feel, isn’t something that’s worth stressing about though. Responsiveness was similar if a little weaker than the earlier model, too. There was little input lag to speak of, which is good, and overall the level of perceived blur was much as you would hope for from a 60Hz LCD. There were some weaknesses beyond that, such as a bit of extra blur due to slower than optimal pixel transitions and some slightly ‘dirty’ overshoot trailing in places. As with the ‘IPS glow’ vs. ‘PLS glow’, the predecessor had a slight edge but it isn’t something we think you should let put you off the newer model.model and HJ version of this screen as you might expect and a little less than the bigger sized screens and the sRGB colour space. There is some minor over-coverage in most shades but not by anything significant.

Amazing panels, great color reproduction, fantastic thin bezels, fantastic stand that moves in every way you would need it to. Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors. our response time measurement article for a full explanation of the testing methodology and reported HJ. It does have an updated OSD software though, including an additional response time setting in the The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by pressable buttons on the underside of the bottom bezel, towards the right side. The power button is also located here, to the far right, with a small slit-style LED to indicate power status. This glows a gentle and unobtrusive cool white when the monitor is switched on and flashes in this colour when the monitor is in standby (‘active-off’). If the power button is pressed, the monitor will turn ‘off’ (technically still standby) and the power LED will turn off. The video below shows the functionality of the OSD.An alternative LBL setting that offers a slightly stronger blue light reduction and is very close to its target of ‘5000K’. You can also set the colour temperature to various other Kelvin values instead. across grey to grey changes. On this H model (but not the HJ) there is an additional 'response time' setting

Getting used to the U2419H’s menus takes next to no time at all Dell UltraSharp 24 Display – A dull affairThis is an effective ‘Low Blue Light’ (LBL) setting. Unlike some settings of this nature, a green tint is not introduced. The image appears noticeably warmer and the blue light output significantly reduced as a result of the weakened blue colour channel. Suitable for relaxing viewing, for example in the evening before bed. As stated in the title, I use it with a 15" MacBook Pro. As monitors go, this one has been the absolute best 1080p display for matching the colors of the Retina.
