About this deal

We measured around 4ms (1/4 of a frame) of input lag using a similar method to that used in this review. This means the signal delay of the monitor is very low and shouldn’t provide a barrier to gaming. After the impressive performance displayed by the Dell P2414H, we were eager to see what the company’s other 23.8” model, the U2414H, was made of. It was interesting to discover that this model actually uses a slightly different panel, albeit a similar one of the same size and panel type (AH-IPS). This UltraSharp model didn’t disappoint us, putting in an impressive performance in several key areas. Aside from ‘IPS glow’, a characteristic of the panel type rather than the monitor itself, the uniformity and contrast performance was very impressive. The static contrast is as good as we’ve seen from a non-VA LCD panel and our unit showed good consistency with its white point and brightness at different points of the screen. The 60Hz refresh rate will limit the appeal for some users, but that’s just where this technology is at the moment

Calibration brings out an even better output from the Dell U2414H since the scores mentioned above are more or less tightened to sit closer to professional standards. Color accuracy improves to an average of DeltaE .5 while contrast climbs up to 960:1, presenting noticeable improvements in image fidelity. Turning down the brightness to around 40% will help to correct Gamma to 2.2 instead of the default score with minor deviance, plus your eyes will thank you later. can power the screen fully off and on again via the power button which allows it to redetect the input Similar to ‘Standard’, very close to target white point (6500K) but slight green channel weakness remains. NOTE:You can only run the built-in diagnostics when the video cable is unplugged and the monitor is in self-test mode. As you can see above (top picture) there is a moderate primary trail and a very weak overdrive trail, indicating a good degree of grey to grey acceleration with no obvious overshoot from overly ‘aggressive’ grey to grey acceleration. This closely mirrors what we saw on the Dell P2414H (bottom picture).

Thoughts on the Dell U2414H

The ports of the monitor include; AC power input, DP 1.2a input, MiniDP 1.2a input, DP 1.2a output (for MST daisy chaining), 2 MHL-capable HDMI ports, 3.5mm audio out, USB 3.0 upstream and 3 further USB 3.0 downstream ports (4 total – only one with fast charging). As you can see Dell have made good use of the available space, cramming many useful inputs and outputs in. There is no space-hogging DVI or VGA. If you have a GPU with DVI as the only output you can use a simple DVI to HDMI cable. Dell includes a DisplayPort cable and USB 3.0 upstream cable in the box. Something else i would like to state is that my monitor also has the problem when i connect mini dp cable!What to do about this?Is there any chance what they will fix it somehow? The Dell UltraSharp U2414H is a great monitor for sensible money. Ultimately, we prefer the larger resolution of its predecessor, the UltraSharp U2412M, which is still on sale, but it’s a close-run thing. If Full HD resolution suits your needs, the UltraSharp U2414H’s generous feature set, great build and fine image quality are a steal at this price. Details On Battlefield 4 there was a degree of detail loss peripherally due to IPS glow, particularly in the bottom corners of the screen from a normal viewing position. Elsewhere contrast was good without significant loss of detail and good distinctions between light colours and darker surrounding shades. Bright colours, particularly patches of sky in the daylight and artificial lights in the dark, exhibited slight graininess compared to a semi-glossy (or of course fully glossy) screen surface. Such areas were free from the heavy grain or ‘smeary’ look that accompanies some older IPS models such as the U2412M, however. rate and fast response time TN Film panel. This showed very fast pixel response times and smooth movement thanks to

You must activate the new monitor from within Windows& use the "Extend Mode" on it. DisplayPort not detecting when waking from sleepFinally, the Dell U2414H posted an input lag time of only 4ms which is brilliant for a budget monitor. We did not notice any delays or misconnected inputs during our testing with this device. Despite the limitations in its capabilities, the IPS panel in this product provided us with an enjoyable experience. Thoughts on the Dell U2414H One downside of the aging IPS panel is the slow pixel response time which is specified at an average of 8ms. This spec, however, wasn’t an issue during our casual PUBG run since the blurs and ghosting we observed were unnoticeable unless you look hard enough for them. These flaws were more of a refresh rate limitation rather than the Dell U2414H’s slow pixel response time, so this monitor should do well for most users. The on-screen display is far better than most. The four touch-sensitive buttons on the front work reliably, and although they aren’t labelled, context-sensitive icons pop up on screen to show which button you need to press. The menus provide easy access to all the features, and it’s easy to tweak the brightness, contrast and picture presets and toggle settings on and off. as you can see from the shape of the graph. It should be noted also that the brightness regulation is controlled by
