more different to the old U2414H and is the model we are now reviewing here. It has a four-side zero-bezel design, This is an effective ‘Low Blue Light’ (LBL) setting. Unlike some settings of this nature, a green tint is not introduced. The image appears noticeably warmer and the blue light output significantly reduced as a result of the weakened blue colour channel. Suitable for relaxing viewing, for example in the evening before bed. Good colour, good viewing angles, style, etc. It is a fantastic monitor with exceptionally slim bezels and amazing colour. The U2419H is by no means a perfect monitor, but there’s no denying its viewing angles are strong Should I buy the Dell UltraSharp 24 Monitor U2419H?
Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced. design. Note that the panel is slightly different in the U2417HJ model which has the LTM238HL01 panel from Samsung. See the Strong viewing angles and respectable colour space coverage means that for basic photo work – editing holiday snaps and the like – the Dell UltraSharp 24 Monitor U2419H will suffice, but it’s by no means intended for professional photo or video editing.
The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by pressable buttons on the underside of the bottom bezel, towards the right side. The power button is also located here, to the far right, with a small slit-style LED to indicate power status. This glows a gentle and unobtrusive cool white when the monitor is switched on and flashes in this colour when the monitor is in standby (‘active-off’). If the power button is pressed, the monitor will turn ‘off’ (technically still standby) and the power LED will turn off. The video below shows the functionality of the OSD.
The strengths in colour reproduction were also apparent on Dirt Rally, which was again displayed in a pleasingly vivid but natural way. Vegetation was displayed with appropriate richness and variety, with a good range of subtly different pastel hues alongside some lusher shades. Some of the deeper greens weren’t as deep as we’ve seen on some models, but really that is a reflection of the accurate sRGB colour reproduction of the monitor. The car paint jobs showcased a nice range of vibrant pinks, purples and reds. These didn’t have the arresting vibrancy of some models but were certainly vivid and inviting. The monitor uses the usual RGB (Red, Green and Blue) stripe subpixel layout, which is shown in the image above. As this is the standard layout expected by both Mac and Windows machines, there’s no need to run ClearType as a Windows user or worry about text fringing on Mac systems. You may still wish to run the ClearType wizard to fine-tune according to preferences, however. A relatively light matte anti-glare screen surface is used on this monitor. This has a marginally smoother surface texture than Full HD AH-IPS models such as the U2414H and is very similar indeed to that used on the Samsung S24E390HL and its brethren. This provides only a slight graininess to the image, far less than on older IPS models in particular and less than most current Full HD models. The surface is not quite as smooth as the likes of the U2515H when viewing lighter shades, however. External glare handling characteristics are strong. We explore the impact of this screen surface on the image in various parts of the review. While 27-inches are great for large desks and a decent gaming setup, the 24-inch monitors are still very good for home use, or even at your office. Here we have the Dell UltraSharp U2419H – аn (almost) 24″ monitor with Full HD resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. At first glance at the specs, you see nothing too impressive about it.
On a more positive note, colour space coverage tests – performed with the same equipment and software but with the screen brightness set to 150 nits – gave me scores that are about the standard you should expect from a display these days. However, they are far south of the 99% and 85% sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage promised: subtract half of the average G2G response time from the total display lag. This should allow us to give a good estimation of Not in the last place, there is 99% of sRGB coverage, which will provide a punchy image. Pair this with decently accurate colors in “Standard” mode (Average dE<2.0) and you get a reasonable offering for design work. If you need even more color accuracy, you can get our Gaming and Web design profile. Then even the maximum dE becomes less than 2.0.
As we mentioned the OSD menu gives you a choice from “Standard”, “ComfortView”, “Multiscreen Match”, “Movie”, “Game”, “Color Temperature” and “Custom Color”. The Lagom text appeared a blended grey throughout without obvious green or red tints and certainly no transition between the two. This indicates a low viewing angle dependency to the gamma curve of the monitor, as you’d hope from an IPS-type panel. The image below gives a rough idea of how this test appeared from a normal viewing position. If you needed more ports, you also get two USB-A ports on the left, with the bottom one supporting power delivery. Dell UltraSharp 24 Setup – As easy as you’d like We test the reaction time of the pixels with the usual “Gray-to-Gray” method from 50% White to 80% White and vice versa between 10% and 90% of the amplitude.Colour reproduction was strong on BF4. The monitor delivered a great variety of shades in an accurate and highly consistent way – rich with appropriate depth throughout the screen. This helped the environments look vivid but natural with good variety – specifically, the variety of earthy browns and natural plant-like greens was impressive. The strength in colour reproduction also helped elements that are supposed to be vibrant (HUD elements, in-game markets, fires etc.) stand out in an appropriate way. The intensity of orange and red shades within fires and explosions, for example, left them looking vibrant but not overdone. Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day. Colour uniformity is pretty good here, too. As you can see from the grid below, only one spot on the panel exhibited lower than average levels of brightness. The bottom line; a screen with excellent colour performance straight from the box and attractive aesthetics, combined with good ergonomic flexibility. On the Blu-ray of Star Wars: The Force Awakens things were presented as they should be. Some good intense red and light blue shades for light sabers and good and consistent representation of character skin tones and natural environments. The subtle variation in skin tones was also impressive and aided the natural appearance, with characters gaining an appropriate identity. This contrasts with models with VA or TN panels, whereby shifts in gamma at various points of the screen alter the perceived shade. We also observed the Blu-ray of Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder. The strong colour consistency was readily apparent on this title due to it having elements of individual shade that fills much of the screen. This aided the natural variety, with an excellent array of consistently displayed pastel shades. The U2417H (U2417HA) also displayed deep shades and neon shades with a good level of vibrancy – not as striking as we’ve seen on some models, but certainly vivid.
PLS glow’ eats away at peripheral detail and there are smoother screen surfaces out there (used on various higher resolution models) power draw in the spec is related to having USB and SoundBar devices connected. Once calibrated the screen reached Amazing panels, great color reproduction, fantastic thin bezels, fantastic stand that moves in every way you would need it to. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light.The ports are down-firing; AC power input (internal power converter), HDMI (plus MHL), DP 1.2a, mDP 1.2a, DP out (for MST Daisy Chaining), 3.5mm audio output, USB upstream and 2 further USB 3.0 downstream ports (4 total). There is an orange plastic port cover over the DP out port which must be removed if you wish to use it. This is to stop you mistaking it for a DP input and wondering why you don’t get a signal when everything is connected up. A DP – MiniDP cable is included in the box along with a power cable.
