Display Design
The display is elegant and nicely designed, and measures at 24-inches. The entire frame is built with an excellent durable quality plastic material.
Also, the display has a nice matte-black texture, which gives the display an aesthetic look which you’ll be able to admire from a distance.
Also, the bezels are present; however, they are very thin to notice, and shouldn’t be an issue when it boils down total immersion.
With thin bezels, the Dell P2419HC has a durable stand as well. And thanks to its square-based shape, the stand has a solid foundation and doesn’t wobble nor move in case if you slightly nudge the display.
And the stock stand can adjust in height, swivel, tilt, and rotate, which is super convenient if you want to work in certain angles and positions.
If you’re not fully satisfied with the stock stand, you can always opt-in for a 100x100mm VESA mount, which allows the Dell P2419HC display to more flexible in terms of movements and monitor positioning.
The OSD panel is located on the right side of the display and consists of five buttons, including the power button. The buttons feel responsive; however, a joystick for navigational purposes would be excellent and convenient.
Located in the rear, bottom panel, you’ll be able to find the connectivity, which consists of one DisplayPort 1.2, one DP Out, one HDMI 1.4, one VGA, 4x USB 3.0, one USB-C, and one 3.5mm audio jack, which you can also connect your awesome active noise-canceling headphones, such as the Sony M3’s or the impressive Bose 700’s, which are some of the best headphones for gaming, and the best headphones for music as well.
Due to the location of the panel, you’ll have to turn the monitor upside down, and then you’ll be able to connect the necessary ports easier conveniently.
Located on the rear side of the monitor, you’ll be able to find four USB 3.0 ports that you can connect your mobile and other electronic devices with ease and with conveniences.
And thanks to its USB-C port, you’ll be able to effectively charge your MacBook Pros and laptops with ease and quickly get the batteries up to full status.
Unfortunately, there are no built-in speakers, but you’re always better off with a set of dedicated speakers or a pair of excellent headphones for sound immersion.
Overall the Dell P2419HC display looks and feels solid; you’ll have no problems of getting immersed, thanks to its thinly designed bezels as well, making the Dell P2419HC look aesthetically pleasing from afar.

Also, the brightness levels measured at 250 cd/m² with a contrast ratio of 1000:1, making the display decent for editing projects and casual web browsing.
The display is an IPS panel, making viewing angles clear and crisp. The images won’t disappear, and there was no color fading involved as well, which is also great if you’re viewing the display from certain angles.
Also, there was an excellent amount of color accuracy, making the display great for creatives and producers alike. The 1080p resolution is well suited for the 24-inch screen because the images and pixels consistently remained crisp and sharp.
However, the display doesn’t come with FreeSync nor G-Sync features, but you won’t have any issues playing games at optimal settings.
Another feature that you can use is the overdrive, which eliminates ghosting and trailing; however, you may run into motion artifacts after prolong uses.
