By default these are set to ‘Preset’ and ‘Brightness’, whilst the third button is ‘Menu’ and the fourth is ‘Exit’.

Our test settings involved only very minor adjustments to colour channel and didn’t have a significant effect on contrast which remained at 1193:1. With quick cyclic switching between different color tones, an illusion for a new intermediate color tone is created.The Dell U2414H has numerous different presets available; ‘Standard’, ‘Multimedia’, ‘Movie’, ‘Game’, ‘Paper’, ‘Color Temp. The ‘Standard’ preset involved some predetermined colour channel adjustments but contrast again remained strong at 1150:1. improved thanks to the adjustment to the brightness control and was now being measured at 121 cd/m 2.

The more vibrant colours in the game, such as highlighter greens, strong oranges and bright reds featured on car paint jobs also had good depth and variety. Not the biggest fan of touch sensitive buttons but once you've made any config changes they do just disappear.

The Lagom tests for contrast allow specific weaknesses to be identified, even those that may not be obvious during other testing. The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Other points to note include the use of a relatively light matte anti-glare screen surface, the same as used on the P2414H and other ‘Full HD’ AH-IPS models.

Some basic functionality such as contrast and brightness adjustment is available for all presets tested here. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. This is indicative of a gamma curve with low dependency on viewing angle and therefore strong viewing angle performance. We measured around 4ms (1/4 of a frame) of input lag using a similar method to that used in this review.This makes the monitor well suited to multi-display setups where thicker bezels can get in the way a bit. It was there if you looked closely at some shades, particularly the darkest greys, but was very well masked. Under ‘sRGB’ the contrast dropped slightly to 1043:1, which is still pleasing considering that the full factory calibration is enforced on this preset.

This potentially gives the image a clearer, less grainy and slightly more vibrant look than ‘heavy’ matte surfaces seen on the likes of the Dell U2412M.This will be treated by any application* as 60Hz but uses the correct Full Range RGB 0-255 colour signal. Lots of black matte plastic (silver matte plastic on the stand) and a 100 x 100mm VESA attachment to which the included stand attaches. A mobile high-definition link (MHL) port allows you to view high-definition content directly from your compatible smart phone or tablet. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.
