The U2412M offers very good on-screen performance, multiple input types, a flexible design, and wide viewing angles.

Dell UltraSharp monitors have a reputation for offering solid color performance with a generous, business friendly feature set, and the UltraSharp U2412M lives up to that reputation.

Very good monitor overall

Not an S-IPS panel, but e-IPS; Higher price compared to some other models with same or nearly the same specs, no special bad pixel policy as its predecessor ZR24w

Excellent monitor. Every color looks very real on this monitor.

I spent 2 months looking at monitors and finally decided to make the leap and purchase this. I'm glad I did. Colours and brightness of the screen is excellent and gaming at 1920 x 1200 is a a treat!

Dell has enjoyed a healthy reputation when it comes to displays in India, and it has been so at least roughly over the past 4 years. There have been several iconic displays offering an abundance of features, along with impressive performance at different price brackets.

As the follow-up to 2009's Dell UltraSharp U2410, the U2412m has quite a bit to live up to. I expected Dell to stay on its high-end and expensive course it had already plotted for the series. Not surprisingly, I'll admit to being a bit disappointed when I learned Dell went with a cheaper IPS panel with the 2412m compared with its previous efforts.

With thoughtful design, great performance, and plenty of OSD features, the Dell UltraSharp U2412 fills its value quotient to the brim.

The Dell UltraSharp U2412m has great performance with excellent ergonomic support and a robust and easy-to-navigate OSD with tons of options for customization; It also has five USB ports, and it's currently available for about $350.

HDMI is missing from the connection options; and performance-wise; it's not quite there compared with high-end; pro-grade IPS panels; especially when it comes to viewing angles.

After using it, the Dell U2412M comes out with a lot of positives and no big negatives. The screen has a nice 16:10 aspect ratio that makes it feel roomier than a normal 16:9 display, and it has a nice adjustable stand that made it easy to fit on my desk.
