    P2416D has 2560x1440p which is perfect in 24".

    1200p is not sufficient.

    • +8

      That is subjective. I have a U2410 and I think FHD (1920x1200p) is perfect for a 24" monitor. QHD (2560x1440p) is too fine for a 24". I also have a U2715H which I think QHD is better for 27".

      • -2

        Yep, it is subjective.

        27" is too large for 2560x1440. The are two problems:
        a) everything is still quite large unless you have bad eyesight
        b) using the screen size of 27" requires me to very slightly move my head to view edges of the screen, rather than just my eyes.

        • +2

          On what planet is 27" too large for 2560x1440? That's already ~109 ppi.

    • +1

      I have two of these U2415's the office & am strongly considering them for home. I think they're great monitors.
      With that said, I haven't had any experience with P2416D.

    • -1

      I don't find 2560 x 1440 perfect in 24". I'd say majority won't.

      Yes, it is subjective.

      But out into perspective (rough maths)

      1920 x 1080 on 24" screen that's about 7968 pixels per square inch. (Comfortable)

      1920 x 1200 on 24" screen that's about 8854 pixels per square inch. (Okay and nice)

      QHD on 24" screen is about 14166 pixels per square inch. (Super hard to read)

      QHD on 27" screen is about 10743 pixels per square inch. (Hard to read)

      You must have very very good sight!!

      • +2

        Hard to read

        Are you actually taking the piss or do you not know how to resize things on a computer?

        • I agree, when I read that I cringed so hard.

        • If you need to resize that's not optimal resolution. At least for fonts.

          I run two UP2716D and two UP3216Q at work.

          Yes, I know how to resize.

        • @icecream:

          It really depends on your eyesight. I use a 25" 1440p and for most applications I don't use any scaling. When I do, the improvement in sharpness is still visible.

      • I don't understand how you came up with those numbers..

        1920*1080@24"= ~91ppi

        2560*1440@24"= ~122ppi

        Etc etc..

        • I know majority use PPI to measure pixel density for monitor. It is a standard.

          It sound cooler as 27" inches monitoring instead of 343.4789 sq. inches monitor. (taking UP2716D as example, 14.27" x 24.07")

          Scientifically, pixel density of monitor is 2 dimensional, so "pixels per square inch" indeed makes more sense, however barely referenced or understood.

          When you talk about mass density, it is in kilograms per cubic meter, not kg/meter.

          PPI is a marketed standard not scientific standard.

      • Rip coz ive got QHD+ (3200x1800) on 13.9" =[

      • Dont listen to this bloke.

        27" Min you want is 2560 x 1440 QHD else screen will look pixelated.

      • Retina display in macbook is basically QHD, isn't it very pleasant to read rather than hard? If you are happy with 1080p display, do not upgrade. Once you go up to 2k, you do not want to look back.

        • I also own a Macbook Pro 2013 model with Retina display. Yes it has QHD on its 13" screen but I sit with my eyes closer to its screen than with my PCs' 24" U2410 and 27" U2715H monitors. So the pixels on the two Dell monitors don't appear too big to my eyes in comparison the the Macbook's pixels. With smartphones, so many of them with 5" screen has FHD resolution before we are satisfied that is because our eyes are a lot closer to the smartphones than to desktops and laptops.

    I picked up two of these when they were priced at $211 (with free shipping) at the DFO outlet. They sometimes pop up at that price. I'm happy with them when it comes to photo editing, movies and gaming. A great all rounder. Favourite part is the thin boarders. Perfect for dual or triple monitors.

    • hi mate when did u buy yours? I am wondering if i should pass this time and wait for the DFO offer like u did.

      • +1

        http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/product…

        Goodluck! I forgot to mention they are not classified as 'brand new' instead they are 're-furbished' and 'as new'. Mine were 'as new' and I could not tell the difference at all. It was packaged as if it had never been touched.

        • Thanks mate. When did u buy?

        • +1

          Last October. Then shortly after maybe around Nov-Dec they went back to that price because I told my friend and they bought one.

        • +1

          @Saucy Morsels: cheers mate.

  • I already have two of the 2415 at home for my workstation. Wondering if i should buy another one to make this a 3 monitor setup…..not playing games. Just visual studio programming, excel, word, browsing etc.

    • Not sure why you'd go for the extra expense of an ultrasharp if just using it for office stuff, no games/movies/etc…

      • +2

        Ohh…I also use lightroom fairly extensively. The monitor is pretty good colour wise, plus the aspect ratio is more useful for photos processing…

  • +1

    I have 2 of these U2415 and love them. The DP monitor chaining is a nice handy feature as well.

  • can anyone tell me if this has height adjustment?

    • +1

      Yep, as well as tilt, pivot & swivel. From the specs…

      Stand
      Height-adjustable stand (115mm), tilt, pivot (clockwise and counter-clockwise), swivel and built in cable-management
      Flat Panel Mount Interface: VESA (100 mm)

      Height (Compressed ~ Extended): 15.86" ~ 20.39" (402.9 mm ~ 517.9 mm)

      • +1

        much appreciated, i think it's 2cm too tall at it's lowest! :(

  • Don't cut yourself

  • +3

    $340 isn't a good price for this monitor. The 1920x1080 model is about $100 less. As much as I like 16:10, it's not worth a ~%40 / $100 increase to cost.

    $340 should be getting you into 1440p territory.
    I picked up a BenQ 1440p IPS for $399 in late 2014.

    • +2

      I paid the extra for the 1920x1200 model. Well worth the extra vertical area in my opinion; although it will depend entirely on what you're using it for. I do a lot of photo editing, CAD modelling, document reading/writing, etc. If you're mostly gaming or watching movies, 16:9 is probably the better option.

      • If you were happy to pay all that money for an extra 11% resolution, why did you not pay a bit more for an additional 60%?
        Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
        Sure, 2560x1440 may be 16:9, whereas 1920x1200 is 16:10, but the former is still more vertical and horizontal screen real estate.

        • +1

          Because at the time it wouldn't have been "a bit more" for a similarly sized display (physical, not resolution). There's a very noticeable difference in physical area between a 24" 16:9 compared to a 24" 16:10; and as I mentioned previously, the monitor was purchased for a lot of very different software, many of which, at the time, had issues running at WQHD resolutions. I don't like 24" 16:9 displays.

          I actually did end up purchasing a U2515H for "a bit more" earlier this year that is now used for our desktop (but it is a 25" 16:9, not a 24"), with the U2415 connected to our laptop when it's on the desk.

    • What's the model number for the 1920x1080 - I found U2414H and U2417H neither of which is $100 cheaper than the $425 online price for the U2415. I think I only need 1920x1080. Would be doing coding and office work as well as some gaming. Overwatch, Civ, Star Craft, PVZ2. Or is the 1920 x 1200 the still better option. Happy to go either way depending on what folks say about 16:9 vs 16:10

  • How does it compare with u2417 which is $20 cheaper?

  • im still using 2412m for more than 6 yrs…
