I love the larger monitor size. (I went from 19" to 24".) The image clarity is great too. I would have appreciated better "written" documentation instead of only a single sheet with diagrams. For example, there was nothing to explain what the buttons on the right edge do.

Even at four years after it was introduced, the U2412M remains an excellent overall performer in its price range. It is a comfortable screen to work with. Color accuracy and useable contrast are good, and viewing angles excellent.

We have half a dozen of these monitors in our office; Newegg's latest price reduction spurred another buy; We are a photography shop, and use these panels as second or third displays for holding palette panels, open documents, etc; The U2412M is getting to be old and is being replaced by the U2415.

Out-of-box color and gamma calibration are all over the place; As mentioned above, this isn't an issue if you have a monitor calibration tool available

Out of-box measurements show that Dell's monitor has fairly good color characteristics in the Standard preset. Colors are not 100 % accurate and slightly too reddish (because of too low color temperature).

IPS panel & picture quality; Fairly good out-of-box settings; Ergonomic adjustability; 16:10 format panel; Price; No serious clouding; Power consumption

Black depth not on par with VA panels; Dirty screen look; Some overdrive trailing; Black gets lighter from wide angles; No HDMI

A full in depth look at the new 24" IPS and LED screen from Dell in their UltraSharp range. How does the new model perform and how does it compare to the Dell U2410 and competition?

Very competitive price point; Excellent black depth and contrast ratio; Good pixel responsiveness and low input lag

Some missing features like card reader and HDMI compared with the older models; Dynamic contrast ratio does not work in practice; Some luminance uniformity issues

Dell is a very popular monitor manufacturer and the U2412M is its latest mid-range 24in model. It costs over £200 but while you can pick up similarly-sized screens for less, the Dell Ultrasharp U2412M has some very useful features.

Photo and video editors will probably find a slightly more upscale performer, such as the Asus PA246Q, more suitable, whereas speed-minded gamers may want to check out the Asus VH236H.

Top-notch performance; Great ergonomic support; Excellent value

Lacks HDMI input; Viewing angles are mediocre

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.

Amazing monitor, best I've ever used. Recommend you to buy it! 10/10

16:10; 1920x1200 Resolution; Very nice colors; Adjustability

No HDMI

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.
