Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor

Few days ago when I wanted to find interesting monitor for my review in middle price range, lets say about $150-$200, I have seen tons of them on Amazon store. So, how can you decide which one is good for you? Well, there are tons of stuff that you can check before you make your decision, but, why would you ever think about more expensive computer monitor? Before you go away and check monitor that is almost two times cheaper, spend few moments and read my article dedicated to Dell UltraSharp U2412M.

Honestly, there are numerous reasons why you need to consider Dell UltraSharp U2412M for your next purchase so lets compare it with competition. First of all, most of the devices have 1920x1080 resolution while Dell decided to make this one a bit different, in 1920x1200 pixel resolution. Believe me when I say, those 120 pixels seams ridiculous but they do make a difference. Just remember how many times you had to scroll page just a little bit to see whole image, to read PDF document or fix a document. That tiny bit of space is more important than you can imagine right now.

Most of the monitors that are cheap on the market came with low quality TN LCD panels instead of much higher quality IPS panels. As you can figure out, this computer monitor from Dell has IPS panel that is able to reproduce amazing quality colors without over saturating them, with good viewing angles and sharp text. TN displays tend to shift colors depending on how and where you look at the display, vertical shifting is easiest to spot (you have looked at laptop displays so I do believe that you understand what I'm trying to say).

IPS displays do not have this problem. Viewing angles are about 178 degrees, so you will see colors even when you look far from the side. Well, U2412M is not capable of reproducing wide gamut, so if you spend a lot of time in Adobe RBG color space you should consider a bit better monitor, if you don’t know why wide gamut is important then you do not use it and you do not need it, this monitor is surely for you.

Additionally, you are able to be adjusted vertically so you will get right viewing angle whenever you want. With old monitors, you were in situation to put phone book or some old catalogs under the screen while with this one you will never do that again. It is cool addition, I know. Well, those are just few things that you should know about this monitor that makes it different from the most on the market. When taking about specifications and capabilities, let me list you some data.

Dell UltraSharp U2412M is LED back light powered wide display screen with 24 inch resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio utilizing IPS panel technology. It is able to produce amazing color quality, brilliant view, sharp text and cool flexibility suited for most office and home users. It is specially tailored to provide more working space and suite your viewing preferences.

Of course, it comes with all other fancy marketing gibberish like environmentally friendly, responsible materials, brightness adjustment, energy stars and bunch of other fancy words that in reality say that it is made just like any other monitor on the market. What is more important, it has USB port so you can pop in your flash memory when needed.

Now, even I have not fully calibrated it right out of a box when I wanted to check it, I was pretty satisfied with how all colors and text looked right out of the box. You will not need to put yourself through this extra step if you don’t really care about colors as it will look amazing from the first time you turn it on. With just a few clicks inside navigation, you will be able to change colors to suit your needs and that is about all you will have to do.

In overall, I was more than happy with U2412M right out of the box. Price is good, maybe a bit higher than competition but anyway, you will get much more. It is really great value monitor and if you plan to use it for you're personally or even professionally, you will be more than satisfied. According to user feedback around the web, you will notice that it is great computer monitor to have so consider it, those 120 pixels can make your life much easier for sure.
