This absolutely wonderful Dell S2425HS PC Monitor is a fantastic upgrade!
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!

Solid performing monitor for the price!
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.

Easy to assemble. Fast delivery. Good quality. Zero complaints

Got this monitor that fits my needs. Love it because of how easy it was to connect my laptop. Color screen looks good and no light bleed. Quality is solid. The stand I believe is metal type not plastic. Speaker sound is loud and clear. Not the best but is good enough. Also love how I can tilt it vertical, move it up and down.

Bought this after I received a Samsung monitor defective straight out of the box. You get what you pay for, ladies and gentlemen and this monitor is a great example of that. Picture quality is stellar, and the speaker quality actually blew me away for built ins. Height and angle adjustment is incredibly easy and convenient, as was base installation. Would recommend.
