Best monitor I've used, excellent price point
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used the Dell U2410M monitor for about 5 years now. It's been a workhorse and has never failed. The color quality is outstanding for both photoshop photography as well as high end gaming. I decided to buy a second monitor for my system and knew I wanted another Dell ultrasharp. The model is now the U2412M, but it's basically the same high quality 24" monitor. I've been using the U2412M for about 6 weeks now and it's just as good as my older 24". Color quality is outstanding. The ability to rotate to portrait, up, down, tilt, is a great quality. The monitor is responsive, sharp (without being too sharp). Colors are true, text is easy to read. Plus, 1920x1200 is such a sweet spot. It's widescreen, but I've never been a fan of 1920x1080, just too narrow to be good in portrait mode. This monitor is perfect. Sure there are cheaper monitors out there, but you really get what you pay for. I expect this monitor to treat me well for many years. Dell makes some high quality components and they really know how to make a great monitor at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Excellent Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace an old Samsung 17" monitor. I thought the price was fantastic compared to other similar monitors. I use it all day long for business purposes and wanted to have a very adjustable monitor. This monitor has a wide range of motion and is very easy to adjust. Setup was logical and simple and no adjustments were necessary. The screen is very bright, I actually had to turn it down a few notches. I did consider buying a monitor with a glossy screen but I don't watch movies or play games on this and my old monitor was a matte finish as well. Since it is on all day I didn't want to have any concerns about reflections from a glossy screen. I was worried I would not really need a screen this large. But this fits nicely on the desk and it is great to have this much screen real estate to work with. Very happy with the purchase. Not sure you can beat the combo of features and quality for this price.

Amazing...but might not be for you!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not only is the design of this computer exceptional but the image itself is too. I am an audio engineer and so I sit at my mixing desk in my recording studios for long hours staring at computer screens all day. When I ordered this product I was afraid that it would be way too bright for me, or that some pixels would be out. However, I have had this computer screen now for a little over a month or so, and everything is perfect. The stand not only adjusts by sliding up and down, but it also spins in order to be able to see it from different angles without actually having to move the whole computer. It has a very good looking outer casing and fits right in with the rest of the equipment in my studio. As for speaker quality goes I wouldn't have much of an idea since I am using two external speakers as my sound source. However, THERE ARE NO HDMI PORTS. For many this could be a huge and annoying problem! So far I haven't experienced any "oh no" moments...which I consider a big plus. While I was researching this computer I read a lot of reviews that explained how the screen was way too bright...even on the lowest setting. I could see how this could be an issue for game designers, Photoshop professionals etc. where detail is a big concern! However, for an audio engineer/recording artist this computer would be perfect. I hope to have a long good career with my Dell Ultra sharp 24" widescreen Monitor!

Decent monitors
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 2 of these monitors for a dual-monitor setup. While the first monitor was free of dead pixels, the 2nd monitor has 2 dead (dark) pixels. Zero bright-dot guarantee does not cover dead (dark) pixels. Luckily the pixels are not located where I notice them much. I have both of these monitors attached to 2 different computers (dual-monitor setup to each computer) using 2 x Display Ports (work computer) and 1 x DVI / 1 x VGA (personal computer). There is no HDMI port on these monitors (I have to use a HDMI to DVI adapter) but I knew that before I purchased the monitors. It is still a knock against these monitors but not one that should stop anyone from picking them up. I'm not a graphics professional but do work in documents and code web site applications frequently. These monitors work well within my usage patterns.

Excellent monitor, great purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched monitors for approx. 3 months before I decided on the Dell. I am a hobbyist photographer with pro aspirations, so I needed a screen that would accurately reproduce colors but not break the bank. This Dell fits the bill perfectly; plenty of real estate, great viewing angles, and amazing color. I have noticed some of the glare other reviewers were speaking about but don't let that be a deal-breaker for you, this is an excellent monitor for the price. Highly recommend.

Great price & excellent performance!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is probably about the best monitor you can possibly get unless you spend a LOT more $$$. The 24" with 1920x1200 resolution is a great match. Not too big--not too small. Having 1200 vertical pixels vs. the now more common 1080 (1080p) makes a difference as having that extra bit of vertical screen real estate is nice. Image quality is fantastic and is an all around excellent performer. Highly recommended!

Very good quality monitor.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought two of these as I was looking to replace a couple of Samsung 930b's 1280x1024 (4:3) and this monitor was rated well by reviewers and MaxPC magazine. I like the aspect ratio since most new monitors are in the 1920x1080 (16:9) category and that cuts the top and bottom off some games. This monitor gives you a little of that back with 1920x1200 (16:10). They are easy to set up and the height adjustment is pretty cool the way that it works and is fast and easy. The controls are easy to use. It has a quick setting feature that you can use when viewing a lot of text that tones down the brightness, thereby easier on the eyes. For gaming, internet surfing, pictures, and videos I noticed no flaws just clear, bright, beautiful colors. Overall a very nice monitor. I used my old DVI-D cables although some nice DVI-I ones came with them.

A best buy in a monitor.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use this monitor in our photo studio for retouching images. We have tried many monitors but this one is probably the best you can get without spending hundreds more. This is our second Dell Ultrasharp and I highly recommend this if image quality and color matching is critical.

Q: QuestionSold out online?I see the Dell U2412M monitor is sold out online and not available in stores. Will this item be sold by BB again in the future? Thanks.
Asked by AC.
- A:Answer Hello, I am a Dell representative and I love to speak about the features of our products but unfortunately I do not control pricing and availability here on Best Buy. This monitor is still an active item from Dell, so there is a chance it will be offered here again. Maybe a Best Buy representative will chime in on this question and provide some insight or help. I would keep checking back to see if the system comes back in stock or call Best Buy at 1-888-237-8289. Hope this helps! JonathanNforDell
