About this deal

One standout feature, however, is the DisplayPort out which allows you to daisy-chain multiple Dell U2414Hs to create an array of screens. The flexibility of the device plus the bezel-free appearance makes this model one of the most ideal in case you want to work or game in 5760 x 1080 which still offers a lot more space when compared to a typical 2560 x 1080 ultrawide. Display and Performance To round things off we also tested our Blu-ray movie titles. There were no issues at all caused by the monitor’s pixel responsiveness. No overdrive trailing was visible nor any ‘conventional’ trailing due to slow pixel transitions. The low frame rate at which the films run (around 24fps) was the main barrier to fluidity, but that isn’t something the monitor can control.

Extreme blue tint, completely unbalanced image with some strong oversaturation. Not sure why this would lend itself well to movie viewing. 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 power light glows an unobtrusive gentle white when the monitor is on and flashes intermittently when the monitor is on standby. If you prefer you can disable the power LED when the monitor is active in the ‘Energy Settings’ of the OSD. Some other useful features in the OSD include two customisable ‘Shortcut Keys’, which are activated using the first two control buttons before you enter the main OSD menu. By default these are set to ‘Preset’ and ‘Brightness’, whilst the third button is ‘Menu’ and the fourth is ‘Exit’. After entering the main menu the buttons are navigational; ‘Up’, ‘Down’, ‘Enter’ and ‘Return’. As the video below shows, the OSD system is fairly straightforward and easy to navigate. Further details in the PDF user guide. The greyscale gradient appeared was very smooth without banding or obvious dithering. There was again some slight temporal dithering in places if you looked closely but this was well-masked. The very high end wasn’t completely pure due to the screen surface, either. 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.There was no significant deviation here. The top left corner (‘quadrant 1’) was closest to 6500K in this analysis. The greatest deviation occurred in the bottom central region (‘quadrant 8’) with a DeltaE of 2.3. Elsewhere DeltaE was between 0.9 and 1.6 which is excellent. As with all other uniformity issues you can expect a degree of variation between individual units. That shouldn’t take anything away from the strong performance our unit put in here, though. transitions was getting slightly darker. The 8.3 - 9.4% overshoot was apparent, but really only affected a couple of the but still pretty clear, with minimal blurring introduced. The screen seems to interpolate the image well although you of

The below uniformity diagram shows the difference, as a percentage, The Blu-ray of Skyfall had an appropriate and natural look. Skin tones appeared suitably varied with good levels of saturation. Elements within the environments, such as vegetation and buildings, also showed pleasing variety and saturation. Some of the more vibrant shades within the film exhibited quite a good vivid look. These included the bright neon blue and purple lights of Shanghai at night.

The only retrograde step is taken by the panel resolution. Compared to its predecessor, the excellent UltraSharp U2412M, the U2414H’s Full HD, 1,920 x 1,080 panel has lost 120 pixels of vertical resolution. This is disappointing, as we much prefer the spacious feel of a 1,920 x 1,200 monitor to that of standard Full HD model; the extra pixels extend the height of your workspace by around an inch, which makes a far greater impact in daily use than you might expect. offered the wide viewing angles of IPS technology and was free from the restrictive fields of view of TN Film panels, especially in the vertical plane.

Dell U2414H Won't Detect DisplayPort Input

The Dell U2414H ships factory-calibrated, so out of the box users can expect excellent imaging capabilities as soon as you plug this monitor in. At its default settings, this model can produce 96% sRGB coverage with an accuracy rating of DeltaE 2.3 which is brilliant for a budget monitor. Contrast averages at 900:1 at the screen’s default brightness which is superb, but is too uncomfortable for most uses. Ensure that the video cable connecting the monitor and the computer is properly connected and secure.

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.
