Dell E2318HR 23" LED-Backlit Flat Panel LCD Monitor

It's 1.8" bigger than my existing Samsung 22" monitor TV. 1.8" makes things a lot better.it's well designed monitor with cheaper price tag. Probably it's cheaper because its hey-day is almost over : People look for bigger monitors nowadays. However, on a desktop I think this is right side. If bigger, it will give dizziness.One odd thing is that this monitor, 23.8" version, doesn't have any speaker or audio output jack.What's the point of HDMI then? HDMI is for delivering audio and video. DVI-I will be sufficient for this.Audio signal comes out from a computer will hit its dead-end.Also, it only comes with a VGA cable. Shouldn't it at least have DVI to HDMI cable because it has an HDMI port as well as VGA cable, or it should have DVI port with DVI cables.In the case of Samsung 22" monitor TV, it comes with many different cable, but DVI to HDMI calbe is included. The DVI to HDMI cable has audio pass-through. So, If you connect it to HDMI port on a computer side, although HDMI to DVI cable is used on a computer side and DVI to HDMI cable on the monitor side, audio is played on the included speakers on the monitor TV.Interesting 27" version of this Dell monitor which has different model number (SE2716H) has an audio output 35mm jack and dual speaker.Then having an HDMI port makes sense.

I've had this monitor since May....I use it mainly to help editing my photography hobby, but am using it more for work related functions as well. It is an amazing monitor. I've always thought highly of their monitors as I have used them in some form or fashion for years and the last set I was using for my job I had a 2 monitor setup and they were both 6 and 7 years old, still going strong. Dell monitors will last you awhile - I have one in storage that the only thing wrong with it is that the power button finally went (atleast when it broke it was in the power on mode!) but I can still use it, just can't turn it off - it will still go into power save.one thing though to keep in mind, these monitors DO NOT come with a 3 year replacement warranty. Since this model does have a Dell service tag, you get 1 year - there are still monitors from Dell that come with that 3 year replacement warranty but those are ones that don't have a service tag, which is starting to become harder to get

Works good without corner light bleed found on most lower end monitors. I am using only VGA at the moment. It is a work monitor so it stays on 9-10 hours a day. I purchase I.T. equipment for our company and have always had good luck with Dell monitors. In fact we have some that are over 10 year old and still working. The VESA mount works great with Dell's docking stations monitor stands, no tools needed, just press the release button and the monitor slides out of the stand and on to the docking station mount. This monitor also comes with a VESA mount which allows you to attach it to a wall if need be will not allow you to tilt the monitor up and down. The colors are sharp and the anti-glare coating works great in office environments where there are florescent lights over head. I always check for dead pixels as soon as we get a new monitor, this one had none. I was pleased with the price and packing and would highly recommend this monitor to anyone looking for one for work.

Was having a hard time deciding between monitors and was going to go with the U2417H model but in the end went with these. Very happy I did. At work I use the P series Dell monitors which are in between cost of the SE and Ultra series. These SE ones seem to have every bit the same sharp font, color as the P series ones I use. Not sure if they use the same IPS panels but its possible. These SE series lack some features but since I was able to get two for less than the cost of one "U" series 24" monitor I can deal with the missing features. I run dual displays using the HDMI and a DVI to HDMI cable which wasn't any more expensive than a regular HDMI cable.Pros: Excellent image, clear sharp text and colors. Excellent price ($99).Cons: Lack of features: USB hub, DVI and Display Port connectors, fixed height stand, non-VESA mount.

I use this monitor to write my thesis, and I wanted to leave this review for others who are looking for something to work on, with a lot of text. I'm not saying it's not good for other purposes, it's just that I only use it for this one. And I must say, It has proven just the right decision to extend my to-date sufficient 13" macbook with this great monitor. I find it perfect for handling several documents and programs at once; the width and height are both more than sufficient. It has a steady and comfortable display; my eyes can now relax, and working for long hours is far less tiring than before. It does make a huge difference to me. Fonts and pictures alike are very clear, and I like the matte finish very much, as there are no reflections on the display.
