Dell E77DELP2426H

The Dell PRO 24 Plus scores 50.7 out of 100 overall, but its 91st percentile connectivity and ergonomics make it a standout for office use. The 100Hz refresh rate is nice, but the 250 nits brightness and 36th percentile color performance hold it back. At USD 175 it's a great deal; at USD 465 it's a rip-off.

The 100Hz refresh rate is the headline spec here, and it's a legitimate upgrade over the 60Hz panels most offices still use. Scrolling through long documents and web pages feels noticeably smoother, and the flicker-free backlight helps reduce eye strain during long work sessions. Dell also claims the panel reduces harmful blue light emissions to 35% or less without sacrificing color accuracy, which is a nice touch for anyone staring at spreadsheets for eight hours a day.

But the performance score of 48th percentile tells the real story. The 5ms GTG response time is fine for productivity but will show ghosting in fast-moving content. The 250 nits brightness is adequate for indoor office lighting but struggles near bright windows. And the 92.53 pixels per inch at 1080p on a 24-inch panel means text is sharp enough, but you're not getting the crispness of a 1440p or 4K display. The 1500:1 contrast ratio is actually better than many IPS panels, which helps blacks look a bit deeper than typical office monitors.

Stacked against the competition in our database, the Dell PRO 24 Plus occupies an awkward middle ground. The MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 and LG UltraGear 27G810A-B are in a completely different league for gaming and color performance, with OLED panels and much higher refresh rates. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR similarly outclasses this Dell for anyone who cares about motion clarity or HDR. The BenQ MA270U and Gigabyte M Series OLED MO27Q28G also offer significantly better displays. But here's the thing: those monitors cost more and target different users. The Dell's real competition is other office-focused 24-inch 1080p panels, and in that space, its 91st percentile ergonomics and connectivity give it a genuine edge. It's just not a monitor you'd cross-shop with gaming displays unless you're confused about what you need.

Pricing on this monitor is all over the place. US listings range from USD 175 to USD 465 across 7 vendors, which is a wild USD 290 spread for the same panel. At the low end, you're getting a solid office monitor with excellent ergonomics and connectivity for under USD 200, which is genuinely good value. At the high end, you're paying premium money for a budget display, and that makes no sense. Canadian buyers see a similar story with prices from CAD 206 to CAD 522. If you're shopping for this, the best deal is clearly at the bottom of that range. Anything above USD 250 or CAD 300 and you should seriously consider stepping up to a 1440p panel instead.

The Dell PRO 24 Plus (P2425H) lands in our database with a total score of 50.7 out of 100, which is about as middle-of-the-road as it gets. But that number hides a pretty specific story. This is a monitor built for office work and desk setups, not for gaming or color-critical editing. The connectivity and ergonomics are genuinely impressive, ranking in the 91st percentile for both. You get HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, three USB-A ports, USB-B upstream, and a USB-C downstream with 15W power delivery. Plus the stand does everything: 150mm of height adjustment, tilt from -5 to +21 degrees, ±45° swivel, and full ±90° pivot. That's rare at this price point.

But the display itself is where things get less exciting. It's a 24-inch 1080p IPS panel with 250 nits of brightness and a 1500:1 contrast ratio. The 100Hz refresh rate is a nice step up from the standard 60Hz office monitor, but the 5ms response time and 39th percentile display ranking tell you this isn't built for fast-paced gaming. The 99% sRGB coverage sounds good on paper, but it lands in the 36th percentile for color performance. So it's accurate enough for documents and spreadsheets, but don't expect it to wow you with vibrancy.

Skip this if you care about display quality above all else. The 250 nits brightness and 36th percentile color performance mean this panel will disappoint anyone doing photo editing, video work, or even just watching movies in a bright room. Gamers should also look elsewhere: the 5ms response time and 48th percentile performance ranking won't keep up with fast-paced titles. And if you're seeing prices near the USD 465 top end, you're paying way too much for a budget panel. At that price, a 1440p monitor with better color and brightness is within reach.

The Dell PRO 24 Plus is a purpose-built office monitor that nails the things office workers actually need: a flexible stand, tons of ports, and a flicker-free panel that's easy on the eyes. The 100Hz refresh rate is a welcome bonus. But the display quality itself is nothing special, with 250 nits brightness and color performance that ranks in the bottom half of our database. If you can find it near the USD 175 end of the price range, it's a smart buy for a desk setup. If you're looking at the USD 400+ listings, walk away and buy something better.
