S2425HS Monitor - 23.8 Inch, FHD (1920x1080) Display, 100Hz Refresh Rate 1500:1 Contrast Ratio, TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort 4 Star, Integrated 2x5W Speaker, Height/Tilt/Swivel/Pivot - Ash White

Gosh, where to even begin? I've been using Dell Monitors for over a decade now - regardless of what brand PC system I was using. I've always found Dell monitors to be a cut above, given what you spend. Over the past week, one of the audio components that I had on a shelf directly above my previous Dell monitor, fell from the shelf, hit the table and bounced back into my Dell screen, smashing it - talk about a negative surprise. So I had to find a PC monitor quickly to replace it. Problem is that I needed a monitor whose height adjustment capabilities were a step above. So I called Dell, talked to a sales agent, who asked me what exactly I was looking for. I told him that my PC monitor needed to have substantial height (lowering and raising the monitor) capabilities. After researching a variety of PC monitors, he recommended that I try the Dell S2425HS monitor, which had a height adjustment capability of 5"-6", which is phenomenal. You see, my monitor is sitting within a small nook space (height-wise), and I needed to have a monitor that would allow me to lower the screen substantially to fit into this space. So I thanked him and immediately ordered it on Amazon - and it arrived the very next day. When it arrived, I was gratified to see the same care and packing of the monitor that Dell had always provided. Assembly was quick, and I was then surprised to discover that there were two 5-watt speakers (I don't know the actual size of the speakers) integrated inside the monitor. After connecting everything and subsequently doing a color calibration of this new S2425HS (I do lots of photography, and I need an accurate monitor to process digital photos), I was gratified to then witness a wonderful-looking screen. As an aside, I also am an audiophile that maintains a desktop, near-field audio system around my PC. The gear used includes names such as KEF, Adcom, NAD, SMSL, and more - all providing me with a glorious audio experience while working. And believe it or not, the biggest surprise for me - besides the excellent screen qualities of this new S2425HS - was the sound of these two 5 watt built-in speakers. In the settings menu on the monitor, you have the options to tune the sound of the integrated speakers for Movie, Music, Standard, Sports, and a few other modes. So I set mine to music, fully expecting these two little speakers to sound tinny and compressed due to their small size. But boy was I surprised. The speakers had a fuller-bodied sound with excellent separation and an almost holographic sound quality while listening to a variety of materials. It is a good 5 steps above the typical built-in tiny speakers you get with some other monitors. This came as a welcomed treat because I periodically like to give my audiophile amps and associated electronics a rest. In fact, I was watching a band perform on YouTube just a few minutes ago, and for a second, I thought I was listening through my KEF speakers. Of course, when the bass section was performing, I realized then that I was listening to the PC monitor speakers because let's face it, those tiny speakers were limited with what they could do. So all in all, I am absolutely delighted with this quality-made Dell S2425HS monitor. It provides superb screen and picture qualities, and also gives you the bonus of including two small, yet highly competent speakers that provide excellent sound qualities, despite their small size. Highly recommended!

Most importantly, the screen quality is good. It's bright, colorful, and the screen is pretty large. I use it for gaming on the couch mostly, so I needed something that was easy to hook up to my computer through HDMI and this delivers. It has a couple of ports available, which is super convenient. The refresh rate is nice and I feel like overall it's a great gaming monitor. The sound is what surprised me. It has a sturdy laptop quality speaker or a "good" phone speaker. I'm not saying it's GREAT, but I'm saying that I've bought one of those bluetooth "speaker bars" before that sounded significantly worse than this. It can get very loud too if needed. I'm honestly really happy with the sound quality!

Excellent Balance of Style, Comfort, and Performance I’ve been using the Dell S2425HS for a few weeks now, and it’s easily one of the best monitors in its class for everyday use—whether for work, casual gaming, or streaming. 🔍 Display Quality: The 23.8-inch FHD (1920x1080) screen delivers crisp visuals and sharp text. Colors are vivid and accurate, with good contrast thanks to the 1500:1 ratio, which offers deeper blacks than most monitors at this price point. The 100Hz refresh rate is a nice bonus—noticeably smoother than 60Hz for everyday browsing, light gaming, and video playback. 👁️ Eye Comfort: One standout feature is the TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort 4 Star rating. I work long hours, and this monitor genuinely reduces eye fatigue. The low blue light tech and flicker-free screen make a noticeable difference during extended use. 🔊 Integrated Speakers: The built-in 2x5W speakers are surprisingly good for a monitor. They're not meant to replace desktop speakers, but for video calls, YouTube, or light music listening, they’re more than adequate—clear, loud, and convenient. 🧭 Ergonomics & Design: The height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments are all smooth and solid. I love how easy it is to get the right angle. The Ash White finish gives it a sleek, modern look that fits beautifully in clean desk setups or minimalist environments. Cable management is also well-designed. ⚙️ Ports & Connectivity: It has the essentials—HDMI and DisplayPort, plus a few USB options depending on your configuration. Easy plug-and-play with no driver issues. 🟢 Pros: Sharp and vibrant FHD display Smooth 100Hz refresh rate Comfortable viewing experience Sleek, modern white design Versatile stand with full ergonomic adjustments Good built-in speakers 🔴 Cons: No USB-C input (would be great for modern laptops) Final Verdict: The Dell S2425HS hits a sweet spot for users who want a stylish, ergonomic, and eye-friendly monitor with solid performance. It’s not a high-end gaming or content creation monitor, but for general productivity, media consumption, and casual gaming, it's excellent. A strong value pick—especially with the enhanced comfort features and quality-of-life design.

This is a solid performing monitor for the price. The package arrived in the OEM monitor box, no outer packaging and had a slight ding in the box (speaking of dings, would be nice if !@#$% UPS could manage to F@#$ing deliver a package within their estimated delivery window ... but I digress. Easy set-up, you'll put the 3 piece stand together then attach it to the monitor. Dell has the box and stand designed to make this a super simple process. The stand allows you to adjust the heck out of this monitor in hight, tilt, and swivel, so your covered to adjust quite a bit to suite your set-up. The monitor, overall, has a high cost to performance value. By that I mean for a monitor you can pick up for under $120, it has a very good performance. The matte finish on the screen is good, the 100Hz refresh rate is excellent for this price point, as well as the color and clarity of the screen. I am using it as a backup monitor until my other Dell portable monitor arrives for my set-up, and other than the form factor, this monitor would work perfect for my needs at my secondary workstation in my home. Good monitor, great price, highly recommended.

This Dell monitor met my top priority with a wide range of height adjustment and easy, instantaneous height adjustment to accommodate two users with widely varying heights. The monitor is easy to adjust up and down. Just grasp both sides of the monitor and push either up or down.The monitor adjusts down almost to the desktop and adjusts up with the bottom edge of the monitor being 6 and 1/2 in above the desktop. My second priority was being able to adjust brightness to accommodate a user who is very sensitive to glare. This was an epic fail. I have newer ASUS computer and wouldn't have anticipated having any compatibility problems. The default monitor display is good quality. However, the eye comfort settings controlled by a button on the back of the monitor do not work. The settings appear on the screen when I push the button but clicking on the settings does nothing. There are no on screen settings for the Dell monitor including no brightness slider. The brightness slider in the display settings in Windows 11 disappeared with this Dell monitor. To accommodate for these shortcomings, I downloaded a third party app that resides in my taskbar and provides a brightness slider. I turned on night light in the windows 11 display settings and use the night light brightness slider. I use a physical blue light screen placed over the monitor. This is sufficient for my needs. An online search indicated that the disappearing Windows 11 brightness slider is a thing with some monitors. I found a YouTube tutorial that had several suggestions for bringing back the brightness slider and I may try that at some point. For now, the measures I described above are sufficient for my needs. The monitor was quick and easy to put together but the screw attaching the screen to the supporting post was a two-person job for us, with one person holding the two pieces together and the other person turning the screw.

Really happy with this monitor. The screen quality is super clear and very easy on the eyes, even after using it for hours for work or watching videos. Everything feels smooth and comfortable. Also, as a girl who had to assemble this by herself, I was honestly surprised how easy it was. It took just a few minutes and the instructions were simple, so don’t be intimidated at all. I love how you can adjust the height and angles to make it comfortable with a laptop setup. The built-in speakers are actually really good and loud enough for calls, music etc. For the price, this feels like a good value and it’s a great monitor for everyday use. Very happy with my purchase.

Very nice monitor. The refresh rate at100 Hz makes watching videos a better experience. And, the more than loud enough built in speakers lessen the need for having to buy external speakers. Upgraded visual color experience. Much better than my existing 12 year old monitor. I like how you can raise the monitor height up and down easily. Quality buy...

This monitor is an amazing value for all of its features! Clarity is excellent. Vivid bright colors with very clear images, and great sound built in. Could not be more impressed! Very easy to connect, simply plug in and go.

Sehr gutes Gerät, höhenverstellbar, prima Bildqualität, schnelle Lieferung

Bought this as an extended monitor. The size is just right for a home office setup.

I have very limited desk space and wanted to to get the largest monitor I could fit. It has a nice clean appearance with the on/off button on the back right corner (taking some time to get used to). I also needed to have speakers, and they are built in, so that was perfect! There is no camera, but I didn't need/want one - so if that is important to you, stop reading and look for a different monitor. The image quality is great. Sorry no technical breakdown or critique, this is just a solid everyday monitor.

Un gran monitor, buena nitidez de imagen fino y con la posibilidad de girarlo para adaptarlo a la posicion que mas te convenga y todo a un muy buen precio e imposible mas facil de montar

Alles perfekt
