Dell P2424HT review: An office monitor built for touch

Windows’ touchscreen support has improved radically since the bad-old-days of Windows 8, and while it’s still not a replacement for a mouse in all situations, it works well with modern apps and websites (which tend to have a mobile-friendly design). Unfortunately, those who prefer a desktop PC often can’t take advantage of Windows’ touch functionality—but Dell’s P2424HT touchscreen monitor makes it an option.

Dell’s P2424HT fuses touchscreen functionality with great connectivity in an alluring but expensive home office display.

Easy-to-use touchscreen; Unique tilt stand; Excellent USB-C connectivity; Good contrast ratio;

Expensive for its size and resolution; Image quality is good, but not amazing; No Adaptive Sync or HDR;

Its stand is ergonomically flexible, so you can in effect switch it from a desktop monitor into a tablet-like mode. Its brightness, contrast, and color coverage are all we could have asked for. The P2424HT is expensive for a 24-inch monitor—though Dell currently sells it for a discount at $414.99, well below the MSRP—but it's quite decently priced when you factor in its connectivity, ergonomics, and uncommon touch functionality.The Design: Multi-Touch Screen, Flexible Stand, Connectivity Galore The Dell P2424HT has a 23.8-inch screen (measured diagonally) with a resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels—also known as 1080p or full HD (FHD).
