The Dell U2414H is definitely not the newest or most pixel packed monitor in DELL's ultra sharp series but it still is a noteworthy monitor to consider for those not wanting to break the bank.
The monitor itself is not large by any means, with virtually no surrounding bezels it can look a little small however depending on space constraints this could be ideal for your needs.
The top and side bezels come in at a hair over 6mm whilst the bottom bezel is roughly 15mm which is still extremely small. The overall dimensions without the stand are (HxWxD) 321.1mm X 539.1mm X 45.6mm coming in at 3.61kg making it ideal for wall or desk mounting.
The monitor uses an IPS panel with a total resolution of 1920x1080p and a fairly standard contrast ratio of 1000:1. The response time of 8ms gtg isn't blazing fast but is not sluggish either as it is typical for most similar IPS monitors. The panel itself has a very subtle matt coating which does an excellent job at combatting glare.
On the rear of the monitor their are 2 HDMI inputs, 1 Mini Displayport and two regular size Displayports one of which is an output for daisy chaining a secondary monitor. Their is also a USB in and 3 USB outputs as well as a high powered USB out which is uncovered and located more to one side. For the overall size of the monitor it packs more ports than one could need, a feature which has proven extremely useful when using the one monitor for both a desktop and a laptop.
Overall the DELL U2414H is an impressive monitor, it is slightly pricier than other 1080p monitors but you are paying for an excellent list of features, a calibrated display that outputs an extremely sharp image and ultra thin bezels. At $335 AUD I would say this monitor was worth it, their is however the slightly newer U2417H the newly released successor to the U2414H but you can expect to pay another $80-$100 for a slightly updated spec list.
