Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24-Inch 1920x1200 Screen LED-Lit Monitor (Renewed)

Extremely pleased with purchase! I had questions that were promptly answered (thanks, Nick). Monitor was shipped quickly and was well-protected inside box. Monitor itself is flawless - screen is perfect, frame and stand are like new. I’ve always like the Dell Ultrasharp line of monitors and this 24” one came at a great price. Power cable was there (of course) but also included were DP, VGA and DPI cables. They even added a USB 3.0 cable for good measure. All in all an excellent transaction. Please note: I needed to connect to a DP port on my computer so this Dell worked for me. But many buyers might want an HDMI port on the monitor. This model does not have one. So it’s wise to do your homework – read the “CONNECTIVITY” section in “About This Item” before ordering any monitor. Just some friendly advice.

I've been using a Dell UltraSharp U2412M on my Win XP machine for about ten years now. I've really grown to appreciate the 1920x1200 native resolution, especially when editing photos in Photoshop. This year, I built a new Windows 10 system, and bought another Dell U2412M to pair with my existing one to create a dual-monitor setup. Getting the second monitor to match the first was a little challenging, but the on-screen controls for adjusting red, blue, green, brightness, and contrast allowed me to get both monitors very close -- close enough that the average person wouldn't see a difference. If I had any complaint, it would be that there is obviously no backlight uniformity among these monitors, so getting two to look exactly the same may be impossible. But the controls will allow you to get really close. I have since purchased a third U2412M to use at a desk at the opposite end of the room. It is connected via a 35' HDMI cable (and DVI adapter) to an HDMI splitter which replicates what is showing on monitor #1. These are all-around excellent monitors for everything I do, and a lot of what I do involved graphics for both print and web.

These were purchased to replace a pair of similar sized Samsung monitors. While they work and will do for what I need, the colors really don't match between the monitors. It also appears that even though I ordered two at the same time, I got monitors of significantly different vintage. They did come with cables to hook them to the video card and two different USB cables, neither of which are for these monitors. While the price was right for me and, not being a graphics designer, the colors are not that big of a deal, if you need color matching between monitors or usb connectivity out of the box, you might want to look elsewhere.

All worked fine and looks new. Packed well in bubble wrap. No retail box or papers. I wish they let you know what cables came with it because I also bought a $10 display port cable that I did not need since it came with one (and a vga)

Great screen!

Out of the box, the yellow tint (for same control settings) was immediately apparent compared to a 2011 version of same model. I'm not a color snob or even a graphic designer but I could see it. The GOOD news is that by patiently adjusting the PresetModes-CustomColor-RGB levels (reduce Green&Blue =Yellow), as well as increasing Contrast and reducing Brightness levels the two screens now look the same. The settings are very different but the screens have same color, warmth and clarity. The 16:10 format and "Renewed Unit" 50% discount make this a super purchase. Today was first day using it and I'm very happy with it now.

They worked just fine. Great monitor for the money and hard to find aspect ratio in the age of 16:9 monitors that are useless for anything but gaming and watching TV. 1920x1200 gives you plenty of vertical resolution. Both were packed well with cables.

Everything seems to function, but there are two noticeable scratches on the monitor's screen, one that's over an inch long. Not sure who would rate that as being in "acceptable" condition.
