Dell PRO 24 Plus P2425H 23.8" Black/Silver 2026

The Dell PRO 24 Plus P2425H has best-in-class connectivity and ergonomics, both in the 91st percentile, plus a 100Hz refresh rate. But the display itself is a letdown at the 39th percentile with just 250 nits of brightness. At USD 168 it's a solid office pick, but the USD 465 high end is a rip-off.

The 100Hz refresh rate is the headline number here, and it's a genuine step up from the 60Hz panels most office monitors ship with. Scrolling through documents and web pages feels noticeably smoother. But the 5ms response time is just okay, and the 250 nits brightness means this thing struggles in bright rooms. For everyday productivity, it's fine. For anything involving fast motion or HDR content, you'll feel the limitations quickly.

The IPS panel delivers solid viewing angles at 178 degrees both ways, and the 99% sRGB coverage keeps colors consistent across the screen. But the overall display performance sits at the 48th percentile, which is middle of the pack. The 8-bit color depth is standard fare, and at 24 inches with 1080p resolution, you're getting about 92 pixels per inch. Text looks decent, but it's not razor sharp.

Stacked against the competition, the P2425H is playing a different game. The MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 and ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR are OLED gaming monitors with far better color, brightness, and response times. The LG UltraGear 27G810A-B and Samsung Odyssey G7 G75F also outclass this Dell in raw display performance. But those monitors cost significantly more and are built for gaming, not office work. The Dell's advantage is its 91st percentile connectivity and ergonomics, which matter more for all-day productivity than peak brightness or response time. If you're setting up a workstation, the Dell makes sense. If you want a monitor that'll make games and movies pop, look elsewhere.

The price spread on this monitor is wild. US listings range from USD 168 to USD 465 across 7 vendors, which is a USD 297 gap for the same panel. At the low end, you're getting a solid productivity monitor with great ergonomics and connectivity. At the high end, you're paying way too much for what's ultimately a mid-tier display. The Canadian listing at CAD 206 is the only one we see there, so if you're north of the border, that's your baseline. The included Dockztorm dock adds some value, but it's not worth paying a premium for. Shop around and don't pay more than the low end of that range.

The Dell PRO 24 Plus P2425H is a 24-inch 1080p IPS monitor that lands in a weird spot. Its connectivity and ergonomics are top-notch, sitting in the 91st percentile for both, but the display itself is stuck at the 39th percentile. That's a big gap. You're getting a monitor that's great to set up and plug things into, but the actual picture quality is pretty average for this price range.

The 100Hz refresh rate is a nice touch for a productivity monitor, and the 99% sRGB coverage means colors won't look washed out. But 250 nits of brightness is dim by modern standards, and the 5ms response time won't impress anyone doing fast-paced gaming. The included Dockztorm dock is a bonus, though it feels like a bundle add-on rather than a core feature.

If you care about picture quality, skip this one. The 39th percentile display ranking and 250 nits brightness mean this monitor will disappoint anyone who watches a lot of video, edits photos, or works in a bright room. Gamers should also look elsewhere, the 5ms response time and lack of adaptive sync put it well behind even budget gaming monitors. And if you're seeing it priced near the USD 465 high end, run. That's OLED territory for a mid-tier IPS panel.

The Dell PRO 24 Plus P2425H is a productivity monitor that nails the practical stuff and phones in the display. The 91st percentile connectivity and ergonomics are genuinely great, and the 100Hz refresh rate is a welcome bonus. But the 39th percentile display quality and 250 nits brightness hold it back. If you can find it near the USD 168 end of the price range, it's a reasonable buy for office work. At USD 465, you're getting fleeced. The 4 out of 5 rating from just 9 reviews suggests early buyers are happy, but that's a small sample size to bet on.
