Dell P P2422H 24" 2021

The Dell P2422H is a basic 24-inch 1080p office monitor with a great ergonomic stand and 99% sRGB color. Performance is weak at 60Hz and 8ms, and the 1-star customer rating is a red flag. It's worth considering around USD 100, but not much more.

This is a 60Hz panel with an 8ms response time, which lands it near the bottom of our performance charts. Fine for documents and web browsing, but don't expect smooth motion in games or video. The 250 nits brightness is adequate for a typical office, though it'll struggle near bright windows. On the plus side, the IPS panel keeps colors consistent from wide angles, and the 99% sRGB coverage means what you see is reasonably accurate out of the box.

Stacked against the competition, the P2422H is a different animal entirely. The ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B, Acer Nitro XV272U, and HP OMEN 27qs are all gaming-focused ultrawides or high-refresh panels with far better performance scores. The Gigabyte M27UP and KOORUI 34E6UC also outclass it on specs. But those are bigger, pricier, and aimed at gamers. For a basic office setup, the Dell's ergonomic stand and USB hub are genuinely useful. It's just not competing in the same league as those other monitors.

Pricing is all over the place. US listings range from USD 100 to USD 179, and there's a CAD 220 listing in Canada. At the low end, around USD 100, this is a reasonable deal for a height-adjustable IPS office monitor. At USD 179, you're paying too much for what you get. The Newegg listing is the one to watch if you want the best US price. Just keep in mind the 1-star customer rating, which suggests quality control might be a gamble.

The Dell P2422H is a 24-inch 1080p IPS office monitor that nails the basics and skips the flash. It's built for desk work, not gaming or content creation, and it leans hard into ergonomics and eye comfort. The stand is the real star here, with height, tilt, swivel, and pivot all included.

But the specs are modest. 60Hz, 8ms response, 250 nits brightness. That's fine for spreadsheets and email, but it won't wow anyone. And the customer rating is rough, just 1 out of 5 stars from two reviews. One of those reviews mentions a defective button right out of the box.

Gamers should skip this entirely. 60Hz and 8ms response time won't cut it for anything fast-paced. Creative pros should also look elsewhere, since 250 nits brightness and the modest color performance won't handle serious photo or video work. And if you need USB-C connectivity for a modern laptop, this monitor will force you into dongle life.

The Dell P2422H is for office workers who want a comfortable, adjustable monitor for documents, email, and the occasional spreadsheet. The stand is fantastic, the USB hub is handy, and ComfortView Plus is a nice touch for all-day screen time. But if you need anything faster, brighter, or more color-critical, this isn't it. And with a 1-star customer rating, you might want to buy from a retailer with a solid return policy.
