Product Information

To learn how to setup any other stand with a monitor, see the respective stand setup guide for setup instructions. Ergonomics Your Dell P2419H 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. Still, for the same price, you could get either a higher resolution display or a higher refresh rate gaming monitor.

You can also install the Dell Display Manager software and use the Easy Arrange desktop app to create differentscreen layouts for multi-tasking. Design & Connectivity Dim/discolored video can be caused by the video cable, so try reseating the cable and swapping with a known good part.Some USB devices like external portable HDD require higher electric current; connect the device directly to the computer. As a monitor for typical business use, the Dell 24 Monitor (P2419H) provides good ergonomics, a small footprint, and a wide selection of ports. Its 1080p resolution is the standard for a low-cost monitor and should suffice unless you're doing a lot of photo editing. Color accuracy is so-so, and between the panel's modest resolution and low contrast ratio, colors didn't really pop in video or low-impact gaming. This set of specifications will provide you with vibrantand consistent colors, as well as a bright picture. Moreover, the wide viewing angles won’t cause the image to shift in contrast, brightness, or color. Typical gray-to-gray pixel response is 8 milliseconds, though it can be as fast as 5 milliseconds. Input lag—as measured with a Leo Bodnar Lag Tester—came in at a very good 10 milliseconds, just a tad longer than the BenQ SW2700PT, which remains our leader with a 9.5-millisecond input lag. Although the P2419H isn't built for gaming, it did a passable job in running Rise of the Tomb Raider and its benchmark sequence, with no unusual artifacts. That said, contrast could have been better, and colors didn't pop like they often do on true gaming monitors. The OSD (On-Screen Display) menu consists of standard adjustments such as brightness/contrast, color settings, including hue/saturation, and input source selection, but there are no gamma presets.

A few permanently bright or dark pixels are considered normal by industry standards. The exact number of pixels allowed varies depending on the monitor. Refer to Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for more details. Color accuracy out of the box is passable, as shown on the chromaticity chart below. With the panel tested in Standard mode, my color measurements (represented by the colored dots) are reasonably close to the bounds of the triangle, although most are a bit skewed from their ideal CIE coordinates (represented by the boxes). Physical controls consist of five tiny control buttons located along the right-hand edge of the bottom bezel. The rightmost button is an on/off button, while the others help you navigate the monitor's menu system.

Adjustability

By setting the ‘Response Time’ setting to ‘Fast,’ the monitor increases its response time speed from the regular 8ms (Normal preset) to 5ms with gray to gray pixel transition method.
