Dell P2425H 23.8" Black 2024

The Dell P2425H is a basic 24 inch 1080p office monitor with a 100Hz refresh rate. It scores 26.9 out of 100 in our database, with color and connectivity as major weak spots. At USD 265, it's fine for simple office work but nothing more.

The 100Hz refresh rate is the one spec that stands out here. It makes scrolling and window dragging feel smoother than a typical 60Hz office monitor, and that's genuinely nice for all day use. But performance overall sits at the 48th percentile, which is about average. The display quality lands at the 39th percentile, and color performance is down at the 16th percentile. So you're getting a basic IPS panel that does the job, but it won't wow anyone who's seen a decent modern display. The 1080p resolution on a 24 inch screen is fine for text and spreadsheets, but it's nothing special in 2025.

Stacked against the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDPG, LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B, Samsung Odyssey G60SD, MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50, and Gigabyte M Series OLED MO27U2 SA, this Dell gets absolutely smoked. Those are all gaming focused OLED and high refresh displays with far better color, contrast, and speed. The P2425H isn't even playing the same game. It's a basic office monitor competing against enthusiast grade panels. The only area where the Dell wins is price, and even that's not a huge gap when you consider what you're giving up.

At USD 265 in the US and CAD 426 in Canada, this monitor is priced like a mid range office display. The problem is you can find better specced monitors for similar money. The 100Hz refresh rate is a nice touch, but the weak color performance and limited connectivity make it hard to justify the price. If you just need a basic second screen and the bundle convenience matters, it's not a rip off. But it's not a deal either.

The Dell P2425H is a 24 inch 1080p IPS monitor aimed squarely at office desks and home setups. It runs at 100Hz, which is a nice little bump over the standard 60Hz panels most people are stuck with. The bundle includes a stand, power cable, DisplayPort cable, USB 3.0 cable, and a microfiber cloth, so you're ready to go out of the box.

But here's the thing. Our database puts this monitor's overall score at 26.9 out of 100, and its professional score is even lower at 18.5. The customer rating is a shiny 4.9 stars from 17 reviews, so people who bought it seem happy. The specs tell a different story when you stack it against the wider monitor market.

Skip this if you do any kind of creative work, gaming, or anything that needs accurate colors. The 16th percentile color performance will drive you nuts. Also skip it if you need multiple inputs or ergonomic adjustments. The connectivity and ergonomic scores are among the worst we've seen, so you'll be fighting the monitor instead of working with it.

The Dell P2425H is for someone who needs a simple, reliable 24 inch monitor for office work and doesn't care about color accuracy or fancy features. The 100Hz refresh rate is a small quality of life upgrade, and the bundle means you won't be hunting for cables. If that's you, it'll do fine. If you want anything more than basic productivity, keep looking.
