The operating altitude shows the maximum admissible altitude, at which the display will function flawlessly. Above this level it might not operate properly and/or might seize to function. Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light. Strong viewing angles and respectable colour space coverage means that for basic photo work – editing holiday snaps and the like – the Dell UltraSharp 24 Monitor U2419H will suffice, but it’s by no means intended for professional photo or video editing.

The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage. Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²). Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. VESA mountSome DisplayPort 1.1a graphics card cannot support DisplayPort 1.4 monitors. Go to OSD menu, under Input Source selection, press and hold DisplayPort select key for 8 sec to change the monitor setting from DisplayPort 1.4 to DisplayPort 1.1a. Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. By the way, it is great to see that Dell doesn’t use PWM to adjust the brightness of its display. Another great feature is the ergonomic stand. It offers swivel, tilt and pivot movement, as well as height adjustment. Not only this is good in terms of comfortability, but it is extremely useful for programmers and data specialists, that can utilize the vertical real estate. This is normal behaviour of the monitor. Dell consumer monitors are inspected at 150 lux ambient lighting (similar to typical office lighting). Dell UltraSharp & Gaming monitors are inspected with a tighter criteria of 70 lux ambient lighting (dimly lit room but not completely dark). The location and position of the monitor is almost as important as what model that you buy. The monitor should be directly in front of you, at an arm’s length away (between 20-40 inches from your eyes), with the top edge of the screen at eye level when you are sitting comfortably. You may need to adjust the chair height or the height of the monitor to achieve this.

The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely. Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day. Your Dell U2419HC monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps to determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is a problem with the monitor or with the video card on your computer.Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used. On the other side, if you don’t need a stand, but want to mount it to a VESA adapter, you can do so, easily from the same mounting spot as the regular stand. So, all of this is good, but really, the Full HD resolution is not that sharp anymore. Not when we have 1440p panels becoming the standard and 4K monitors flooding the market. Additionally, gaming on this screen is possible, but the experience is not great – there is some ghosting and when you try to counter that with the “Overdrive” option from inside the OSD menu, you can experience severe overshooting and inverse ghosting – even more unpleasant than the blurry image.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. To learn more about connecting a monitor to the PC, refer to the Dell knowledge-base article How do I connect a monitor to a PC?. Connecting the monitor using an HDMI cable To learn how to setup any other stand with a monitor, refer to the respective stand setup guide for setup instructions. The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe. Change the color-setting mode in the Color Settings On-Screen Display Menu (OSD) to Graphics or Video, depending on the application.

We test the reaction time of the pixels with the usual “Gray-to-Gray” method from 50% White to 80% White and vice versa between 10% and 90% of the amplitude. The standard monitor stand is detached when the monitor is shipped from the factory. To learn more about attaching the standard monitor stand, refer to the Setting Up the Monitor section in the User Manual of your Dell U2419HC monitor. When you notice screen abnormalities like distortion, clarity, horizontal or vertical lines, color fade etc., it is always a good practise to isolate the monitor by running the Built-In Diagnostics. Make sure that the video cable connecting the monitor to the computer is connected properly and is secure.Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. Dim/discolored video can be caused by the video cable, so try reseating the cable and swapping with a known good part. 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.
