Dell P2425HE 24" 23.8" Black, Silver, Multicolor Review

Buy this monitor for the superb USB-C hub, not the screen. It's the ultimate cable-killer for laptop desks, but the 1080p panel is just okay.

The Dell P2425HE is a solid, no-nonsense office monitor that gets one thing spectacularly right: the USB-C hub. If you're tired of plugging a dozen cables into your laptop every morning, this is your plug-and-play savior. It's a 24-inch 1080p screen with a 100Hz refresh rate, but the real story is the single USB-C cable that handles video, data, and 90W of power delivery to your laptop. It's not a flashy gaming panel or a color-accurate designer's dream. It's a workhorse designed to declutter your desk.

The 100Hz refresh rate is the pleasant surprise here. For a monitor that scores in the 50th percentile for performance overall, that extra smoothness over the standard 60Hz is noticeable when scrolling through documents or websites. It's not a gaming monitor, but it makes everyday desktop use feel a bit more fluid. The 250-nit brightness and 99% sRGB coverage are perfectly adequate for office work, but you won't be blown away by contrast or vibrancy.

At $260 to $310, the value proposition is simple: you're buying the hub, not the monitor. If a clean, one-cable desk setup is worth $100 to you over a basic 1080p screen, then it's worth it. If you just need a display, you can find better panels for less money.

Compared to a basic office monitor like a Dell SE2422H, you're paying extra for the USB-C hub and better ergonomics. Against a more premium all-rounder like a Dell UltraSharp 27" 4K, you're giving up a ton of screen quality and resolution for a lower price and that specific hub convenience. The P2425HE carves out a niche: it's for the laptop user who values desk cleanliness above all else. Don't even look at gaming monitors like the MSI or ASUS listed; they're in a completely different league for performance and price.

Skip this if you're a gamer, video editor, or anyone who cares about deep blacks and vibrant colors. The panel is its weakest link. Go get a dedicated gaming monitor or a higher-resolution UltraSharp instead.

We recommend the Dell P2425HE if, and only if, you are a laptop user who is utterly fed up with cable clutter. Its fantastic ergonomics and brilliant one-cable USB-C solution make it a great daily driver for office work. For everyone else—gamers, content creators, or anyone who just wants a nicer picture—there are better screens for your money. It's a specialist tool, not a jack-of-all-trades.
