Product Information

At first glance, we can see that this monitor follows the Dell monitor pattern, with a squared stand and gray display support with the Dell logo on top. To begin with the features of this monitor, we have one of the true masterpieces of this Dell release here on panel type. Featuring In-Plane Switching technology ( IPS panel), this technology outperforms all other panels in terms of image quality and color accuracy. But with this monitor, the DELL brand really surprised everyone, bringing to the market a budget monitor featuring one of the best image quality found in current displays. Make sure that the video cable connecting the monitor to the computer is connected properly and is secure. Change the color-setting mode in the Color Settings On-Screen Display Menu (OSD) to Graphics or Video, depending on the application.

Change the input color format to PC RGB or YPbPr in the Color Settings On-Screen Display Menu (OSD). A few permanently bright or dark pixels are considered normal by industry standards. The exact number of pixels that are allowed varies depending on the monitor. Refer to Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for more details. Some USB devices like external portable HDD require higher electric current; connect the device directly to the computer.

Diagonal Size

Indeed, usually, people who need a monitor with good image quality and color accuracy have to spend much more money than if they need a casual one.

Also, with this panel, you’ll have a wider viewing angle, which means you’re less likely to see image distortion or color change depending on your viewing angle. However, as not everything is perfect, the IPS panel usually has a downside, the IPS glowing. Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro. Productive at every level Easy Arrange allows you to easily tile multiple applications across one or more screens with 38 pre-set window partitions and the ability to personalize up to five windows, giving you improved multitasking abilities. Furthermore, this monitor has a 99 percent sRGB color gamut and supports 16.7 million colors, which is a standard number for an IPS screen. If you want more fidelity, consider this 32″ LG monitor, the LG 32QN600-B, which supports 1.07 billion colors at the same price.Your Dell P2421D monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps to determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is a problem with the monitor or with the video card on your computer. If the monitor is powered-off and powered-on when displaying the Blu-Ray video, the Blu-ray player may lose the data signal from the system to the monitor. On certain video and applications with fast moving images, imaging ghosting, which appears as a trailing shadow, may occur.

So, once again, this is an insignificant feature for those who require a casual monitor with good image quality, either for image/video editing or for playing casual games. Image Overall Quality Ensure that the video cable connecting the monitor and the computer is properly connected and secure. Windows Display Settings and the resolution settings on the laptop's video or graphics utility may not be compatible. When you notice screen abnormalities like distortion, clarity, horizontal or vertical lines, color fade , it is always a good practice to isolate the monitor by running the Built-In Diagnostics.

Dim or discolored video can be caused by the video cable, so try reseating the cable and swapping with a known good part. This is normal behavior of the monitor. Dell consumer monitors are inspected at 150-lux ambient lighting (similar to typical office lighting). The IPS glowing refers to light glowing on the display’s edges, which can be seen in a dark room or when a dark image is displayed on the screen. The IPS glowing levels are determined by the overall quality of the panel in the following monitor. Fortunately, there is little to no visible IPS glowing on the Dell P2421D. Color gamut and Color accuracy

This monitor also has a high total response time of 8ms, but you can activate the GTG to use it with 5ms, which is still not recommended for competitive gaming scenarios.
